Clicked Open. First screen has a text box with the words “Input player Nickname?” above it, and button Next under it. No way to input anything via keyboard though, and no way to advance. End of game, i guess ### 1/5 — Unable to play *2020-06-02, version 1.2* It asks for a nickname but there is no keyboard, and it will not let you select next to move on without a name. ### 1/5 — Inoperable *2020-03-15, version 1.2* Immediately upon opening app it asks for a name but doesn’t provide a keyboard and won’t let you leave it blank. Can’t get past that, so the app is completely inoperable. ### 1/5 — Can’t input nickname, so can’t get past the beginning! *2020-02-23, version 1.2* Downloaded this app and it asks for nickname of player, however no keyboard is available to type. It won’t let you go past the screen without it. I delayed and restarted, but we have the same issue. Wish we could play! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-19, version 1.2* Ridiculous. App seems to require a “play” name but does not pull up a keyboard so it was impossible to even get started. I deleted this app and moved on to different sudoku app for kids, which at least works ### 1/5 — Can’t type nickname so can’t get in *2020-02-19, version 1.2* Need to fix ### 1/5 — Cannot play *2020-01-19, version 1.2* The opening screen asks for the players name. It doesn’t let me type the players name because the keyboard doesn’t come up. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-11-04, version 1.2* Asks for a nickname but doesn’t give me a keyboard. Quit and retried. Won’t let me do anything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t install - you can’t remove it *2024-02-04* When you click delete app it only allows you to remove it from the Home Screen. Plus you can’t play it because you have to enter a nickname and it doesn’t bring up the keyboard, so now it’s just a waste of space. ### 1/5 — WHY NO RESPONSE *2023-10-19* No reply or answer to the “can’t get past nickname-no keyboard” issues that I can find. WHY NOT? Don’t bother downloading this game. ### 1/5 — Piece of crap *2022-11-25, version 1.2* Will not load, screen does not turn and it gets stuck on the nickname screen. Reloaded three times and did the same thing each time. ### 1/5 — Nickname? *2021-09-04, version 1.2* I’d like to teach my daughter this game but we can’t get past the “input player nickname” screen. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Cannot Play *2021-04-01, version 1.2* As mentioned by others, the app opens and requires a nickname to be entered but there is no keyboard that allows you to proceed. Deleted! ### 1/5 — No keyboard to type name so cannot play *2021-02-05, version 1.2* Can’t get past the nickname screen because I can’t type anything without a keyboard:( ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2020-12-04, version 1.2* Sure it’s a great game, but can’t get past the nickname screen to play- bummed ### 1/5 — Nickname issue *2020-11-26, version 1.2* Unable to enter nickname to play. 😕 ### 1/5 — Nickname bug *2020-11-01, version 1.2* I just downloaded this app. I cant enter a nickname, and I don’t want to. But the app is stuck. I will be deleting it immediately. ### 1/5 — Does not work for iOS 14 *2020-10-12, version 1.2* Does not work for iOS 14. Asks to enter Nick name of player, but does not show up keyboard to enter the name. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Umm it won’t let me in *2020-07-25, version 1.2* So it’s telling me to input a nick name but I can’t type ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-12-23, version 1.2* This game is so fun I could play it all day and night. ### 5/5 — This game was so fun. It is the best. *2019-12-05, version 1.2* The best game for thinking! I love this game so much. 👍🏻❤️❤️😘😘💕💕😍😍☺️☺️✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻😎😎😍😍😘😘😎😎 ### 5/5 — Really interesting game *2019-07-18, version 1.1.0* This one is one of the most appreciable Sudoku games for iOS. What stands it in good stead are several terrific puzzles. ### 5/5 — Vote 5 stars *2019-07-17, version 1.1.0* I would actually like to praise this app for providing a parents area, which is protected by a little mathematical task, so that kids won’t be able to get lost on this or other Internet sites. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-02-21, version 1.2* It’s after a nickname but it doesn’t give a keyboard (I just put five so that you see this) ### 2/5 — Ok but sometimes boring *2021-01-01, version 1.2* This game is fun until you make lots of mistakes because it makes me mad when I get lots of things wrong ### 2/5 — Why can’t I type in a nickname? *2020-08-02, version 1.2* WhY? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
