### 4/5 — Ui

*2026-07-30*

Clean UI love it

### 3/5 — da fehlt noch was..

*2026-07-18*

,,ganz entscheidendes. Für den Abo-Preis kann man eine iPad-Version erwarten !
Die wäre wichtiger als Musik hören..

**Developer response:** News incoming…

### 5/5 — 広告無し

*2026-07-16*

広告無しで開発出来るように応援したい📣

### 5/5 — Entspannend und motivierend

*2026-07-16*

Für mich das beste Sudoku im Store. Ein Spiel pro Tag, mit entspannenden Klängen. Durch das Leaderboard aber auch motivierend. Bedienung und Optik auch super.

### 5/5 — Nice app liked its ui and overall experience

*2026-07-15*

Nice app liked its ui and overall experience

### 5/5 — Clean, simple, beautiful

*2026-07-15, version 2.3.3*

This is the best sudoku app I've seen. It is incredibly well designed and a joy to play.

### 5/5 — Sehr schön!

*2026-07-14*

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ich liebe Sudoku a Day! Die App ist wunderschön gestaltet schlicht, modern und ohne unnötigen Schnickschnack. Genau so wünsche ich mir Puzzle-Spiele. Das Design wirkt sehr hochwertig und macht einfach Spaß.

Mein einziger Wunsch wäre ein weiteres Spiel im gleichen Stil, aber mit dem Spielprinzip von Block Blast. Das Original ist mir persönlich viel zu bunt und überladen. Ein Block-Puzzle im minimalistischen, eleganten Design von Sudoku a Day wäre für mich sofort ein Pflicht-Download.

Macht bitte weiter so die Qualität der App ist wirklich top!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-07-13, version 2.3.3*

So much effort has been put into this app. Beautifully designed with amazing sounds and haptics. I love the shapes mode on default colours, it’s awesome. Love it

### 5/5 — Beautiful like Grug

*2026-07-11, version 2.3.3*

Another. Aesthetic. App.

### 5/5 — Neue Preise

*2026-07-11*

Die App ist gut, ohne Frage. Aber der monatliche Preis von 0,99 € ist ersatzlos entfallen, das Jahresabo hat sich von 9,99€ auf 17,99€ und das Für immer von 29,99 auf 34,99 € erhöht. 
Die App ist Free2P mit einem Sudoku pro Tag werbefrei spielbar.
Ach ja Abonnenten können seit kurzem auch Musik hören.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! Wir fügen gerade viele neue Funktionen hinzu – sowohl für kostenlose Nutzer als auch für Abonnenten. Musik und Sounds stehen übrigens allen zur Verfügung, nicht nur Abonnenten.

### 5/5 — Ótimo!

*2026-07-10*

Melhor sudoku da App Store

**Developer response:** <3

### 4/5 — Decent free play

*2026-07-08, version 2.3.1*

Be careful with choosing the numbers though. I was surprised to find the number you picked stays chosen until you chose a different number.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-06, version 2.3.1*

Love it

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2026-07-05, version 2.3.1*

This has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to ad free games.

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-07-04, version 2.3.1*

Yep

### 4/5 — Good but interface improvements needed

*2026-07-02, version 2.3.1*

Enjoyable and addictive. The only frustrating part is you have to visually confirm the app has selected the number you tapped before touching the box. Many errors in my play come from unintentional and unexpected inputs.

### 4/5 — 基本的には良い

*2026-07-02*

スティッキーナンバーに慣れるか、offでノートを縛るなら非常に良いアプリ。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！スティッキーナンバーは設定から変更できます。ほかにもプレイスタイルに合わせたカスタマイズを用意しています。

### 5/5 — Wirklich schön :)

*2026-07-02*

Die App sieht super schön aus und hat tatsächlich kein bisschen Werbung. 🫶🏼

**Developer response:** Danke <3

### 4/5 — Good free sudoku

*2026-06-29, version 2.2.5*

A good free sudoku, could be better with tweaks to use of color/shading and fonts. Hints are something you have to pay for, ugh.

### 1/5 — Abo falle

*2026-06-12*

Für das rückgängig machen von Zügen ist ein Abo erforderlich!

**Developer response:** Die App heißt Sudoku a Day. Du bekommst einen Sudoku pro Tag. Wenn du mehr spielen willst, musst du ein Abonnement abschließen oder für ein Leben zahlen.

### 1/5 — Have to pay to use basic features

*2026-02-23*

I used to really enjoy this app because of the clean interface and features like highlighting. I actually preferred it over a lot of other sudoku apps (including NYT)! But they launched an update that put previously free features behind a paywall, so… instant delete for me.

**Developer response:** Which feature? This is simply not true. But feel free to delete. In the mean time we will continue to make the app better, for everyone. Also those who want to use it for free.

### 1/5 — No Ads, because it’s not free!

*2025-10-24, version 2.1.5*

Why market a free app, only to immediately get taken to a subscription plan?  If you want to sell it, then don’t market it as free

### 1/5 — Была отличной игрой

*2025-09-26*

Ввели какую-то подписку, чтобы играть бесконечно. Теперь одну за день могу пройти и все, предыдущие уже не доступны. Игру удаляю

### 1/5 — Shady

*2025-09-02, version 2.0.0*

This app is designed to make it extremely difficult to avoid buying the premium version, by locking all settings behind a paywall. I would accept this from a game that had some thought put into it, but this is a sudoku app, hardly worth paying for.

### 1/5 — Trying to sell a subscription for a free game

*2025-08-03*

I have player a lot of free sudoku apps, but this is the worst

**Developer response:** To clarify for others reading this: the app does let you play a full sudoku puzzle for free every day. 

There’s no need to pay unless you want extra features or play more puzzles.

### 1/5 — Wrongly flags correct moves

*2025-06-26, version 1.09.9*

The app says I made a mistake even when the move follows all Sudoku rules. Fix the logic.

### 2/5 — Stop the sticky number by default

*2025-09-06, version 2.0.0*

I don't really rate apps but since sticky numbers was a default when not subscribed it pisses me off

### 2/5 — Non è gratuito

*2025-08-07, version 1.09.9*

App ben fatta, ma c’è un solo puzzle gratuito al giorno

### 2/5 — Disappointed by the Limitations

*2025-05-06*

I chose this Sudoku game because of its small size and the fact that it’s ad-free, which I really appreciated. But after installing it, I was very disappointed to find out that you can only play one puzzle per day unless you pay for a subscription. This makes the game almost useless for anyone who actually wants to enjoy Sudoku more than once a day. I understand supporting developers, but locking basic gameplay behind a paywall is too much. I’d honestly prefer a few ads over such a strict limitation. Switching to another Sudoku app that values the player’s time more.

**Developer response:** It’s literally in our name ;)

### 5/5 — Best sudoku app

*2026-07-20, version 2.3.3*

Easily the best sudoku app out right now. The UI is incredibly smooth, easy to use, and optimally designed. It’s also very aesthetically pleasing, has nice sounds, and is just such a fun experience. Absolutely adore it and love supporting!!
