### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-01-23, version 1.0*

This is a great sudoku game. I love it.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2017-08-07, version 1.1*

I have been enjoying this game for quite a while but will not be playing again as the new "improvement" where notes are automatically deleted has removed the challenge

### 3/5 — It’s okay but needs more versatility

*2017-10-03, version 1.1*

I love the colors but it would be a better game with the following (and I’d be happy to pay for it):
More contrast on the colored squares or Different choices of colors;
Automatic color notes filler option at the beginning of the game;
Would like the option to choose the color first and THEN the square because when I want to drop the same color in several squares (such as in Notes) it’s really a hassle to pick a square then drop to the color every time I want to fill them with the same color. In fact it’s really tedious. Really really tedious.
Even if they can offer that option just for the notes I’d totally give it another star. 
I used to play a game called Gemdoku but it’s not available anymore and it had everything I just mentioned. 
I’d also like a paid option to remove the ads.

### 3/5 — Only 2 minor improvements

*2015-09-24*

Good game, but with so many Sudoku apps, needs something more for more stars. 

Maybe include an interactive tutorial, particularly helpful for children. 

Also, in lower levels at least, grey out options when fully used.

### 3/5 — Sudoku

*2014-04-18*

Nice app

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2014-01-23, version 1.0*

The very easy ones are harder than the three stars in the newspaper 

Can't flip back into note mode after selecting a good answer  without needing to reselect an empty box

Dang thing is too easy to input a wrong answer.   Should use a check answers button instead of automatically giving a wrong answer mark against player. I twice marred my perfect score by accident. 

Might be nice to have an easier way to remove notes especially when an answer is input. Maybe removing notes that can't be when answer is input. Should NOT check ALL. Just most recent input (otherwise it will act as a cheat by inserting all numbers in all notes)

### 4/5 — Love it but

*2025-01-25, version 1.1*

I love this version since it has an option for colors and multiple difficulty levels. What I don’t like is that the game is kinda crashing - meaning that you have a block left in a row and it says you have no color options when you know what color it should be and when you try to put it in, it’s marked as wrong.  Then you need to go reinstall the app. This has happened to me 3x in the past  6 months. Please fix it.

### 4/5 — It's great!

*2016-11-09, version 1.0*

It's great! The only problem is that the music doesn't stay on when you play one. It only plays at the main menu. I recommend this app.

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-11-03*

Good app, enjoy more than others I tried. Can you remove the flickering of the tiles? highlight is enough. Can you add options to hide the clock and to select number/color first? Also, when you solve a number/color, the notes should disappear. For now, I have to do it manually.

### 4/5 — Sudoku 2in1

*2015-09-18, version 1.0*

Could be better

### 4/5 — M

*2014-06-12, version 1.0*

I enjoy this game:) I would like the highlighted letters to be a little more pronounced and when u use all nine of a number if it could tell u so with a color
Change or block at bottom leaving:)

### 5/5 — Good game, wish I could listen to music while playing on phone

*2021-08-05, version 1.1*

The only gripe I have is that I wish I could listen to music while I’m playing the game. When I open the app, it stops playing anything else that’s going on in another app.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Game

*2017-06-13, version 1.0*

I've only had time to play this game briefly, but so far it's great!

### 5/5 — Look at the Pretty Colors

*2016-03-06, version 1.0*

Oooohhh! Pretty colors! This game is a mesmerizing way to exercise your logic. I was immediately addicted and it's making me smarter. It's Flowers for Algernon for me! I'm sure it's preventing Alzheimer's, too. If only I could find my car keys!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-08-27, version 1.0*

This is such a great app. Relaxing, fun and makes you think. I have never played coloured Suduko but am now hooked!

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2014-10-28, version 1.0*

It is a favorite of mine

### 5/5 — Most Effective!!

*2014-07-05, version 1.0*

Good clean layout, intuitive usage, excellent "Solved" stamp when completed, would appreciate solid or dark highlight on selected numbers rather than the light/dark glow effect. Overall most effective, thanks for asking!!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2014-06-02, version 1.0*

cool game but I wish more wallpapers.

### 5/5 — Gret

Pretty good for a suduku puzzle app

### 5/5 — Love it!
