Too many interruptions. Breaks focus ### 3/5 — It WAS my favorite *2026-08-20, version 8.2.7* This app had been great. Even with the ads. The look is nice as are the customizations. Recently, tho, ads have been popping up WHILE you’re making moves. They are disruptive and annoying. Some pop right back to the game but even so, it ruins your concentration. For a game that’s timed it’s super annoying! I get that you want us to upgrade, but what I’ll end up doing is finding a different app. ### 2/5 — To many advertisers *2026-08-20, version 8.2.7* Way to many advertisers that are difficult to end ### 3/5 — Until this week *2026-08-19, version 8.2.7* It was the best one out there. Having the same ad experience as the other recent reviews. This past week, ads popping in the middle of game play. Sometimes flashes for a second sometimes for several seconds a video pops. Had to resort to playing on airplane mode. ### 4/5 — Bit weird *2026-08-19, version 8.2.7* I really like this game but find it very frustrating that the little icon that looks like a pen nib is actually the pencil and what looks like the pencil is the pen. ### 3/5 — Ads are becoming a problem *2026-08-18, version 8.2.7* I have played this game for years and loved it. Recently, ads are popping up blocking the screen. This game needs concentration, so that’s a real issue. I’ll be sad if I need to quit playing it. ### 3/5 — I love this app but… *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* I’ve had this app downloaded for many years and I love it for playing sudoku. However, in the past couple of days, there are ads that pop up in the middle of a game for no reason. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* I have used this app exclusively for the past several years and have loved it, but a couple of weeks ago it has started interrupting in the middle of the game with a flash ad that is there for about 2-3 seconds, then it disappears. It has been doing this repeatedly. If this is there way to force you to pay for their app, then I am out of here… ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-08-15, version 8.2.7* The game is good, but the quantity and length of the ads is horrible. ### 2/5 — BadgersFan *2026-08-15, version 8.2.7* I liked this game for a long time but recently ads keep popping up while I am playing the game. I understand ads between games but I find ads popping up mid-game to be very annoying. I have deleted this app from my device. ### 2/5 — Long commercials *2026-08-14, version 8.2.7* To many long commercial. I under stand you have to make money. But you don’t shorten commercials, I will find a game to play. ### 4/5 — Pop-up ads out of control *2026-08-14, version 8.2.7* Lately there have been so many pop-up ads, really quick ones, one after the other, that make make the game horrible to play. I’m sure most people do it to relax, but now it’s just a frustrating experience that really takes the fun out of the game. Let us play the game, then have ads in between games. Hope it changes soon, might have to find another version. I really hope it can be fixed as I really like this one best. Please fix this! It is ridiculous! It seems to be fixed!! Thank you very much, so appreciated! Back to enjoying a relaxing uninterrupted game. WELL, the annoying and repetitive mud-game pop-up ads are back! Might be time to give up on this version, it was fixed for about a week. 😞 Update August 2026, enjoyed a long time without the annoying mid game pop-up add, now they are back! See you again when they’re gone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-23, version 8.2.7* Can’t remove ads. Can’t play. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-08-23, version 8.2.7* This app has adds that require you go to the App Store to continue to play. It sucks! ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-08-22, version 8.2.7* Worst. Have you rate it early than force you to download a stupid game. NOT FREE! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-18, version 8.2.7* Pop up add show up in the middle of a game ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-08-18, version 8.2.7* To many ads ### 1/5 — Worst advertising ever *2026-08-18, version 8.2.7* This game has some of the best soduku game play of all the apps I’ve tried. However, it has the absolutely worst, most OBNOXIOUS advertising — it will actually randomly and repeatedly take over the whole screen with video ads WHILE in the middle of the game. Ads between games is understandable, footer ads as well, but DON’T INTERRUPT THE GAME WITH WHOLE-SCREEN ADS!!! ### 1/5 — Ad popups *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* There are ad popups happening during the game, making it unplayable. Over time, the ads were getting more aggressive between games, but this time it’s too much. I will uninstall the app for this reason. ### 1/5 — Annoying popups *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* I don’t want the screen to flash with points every time I add a number. So annoying and delays the game- let us toggle this off. Unusable, deleted. ### 1/5 — Ads in the middle of a game *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* They finally decided to flood you with ads. Instead of between games, it’s now in the middle of games. Multiple times. So many sudoku options. I’ll delete this one and find another. ### 1/5 — Difficulty *2026-08-16, version 8.2.7* You need to have harder difficulty levels. Add one very hard level, then add one almost impossible level ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game!! *2026-08-25, version 8.2.7* Love this game!!! ### 5/5 — Resetting the brain *2026-08-24, version 8.2.7* I enjoyed taking a break and playing with numbers in a way that I master them. I am forever a student of Sudoku 🖤💯 ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant *2026-08-23, version 8.2.7* I never get tired of this game, it’s great for keeping your brain in condition. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2026-08-22, version 8.2.7* I’m really enjoying playing sudoku here. It’s very challenging which keeps my mind tuned:) ### 5/5 — Good brain exercise *2026-08-21, version 8.2.7* Dr. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Brains *2026-08-20, version 8.2.7* Good brain challenge ### 5/5 — Great fun *2026-08-17, version 8.2.7* Super Dooper ### 5/5 — Relaxing! *2026-08-16, version 8.2.7* The best part no annoying game adds!! ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2026-08-13, version 8.2.7* Beautiful ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2026-08-11, version 8.2.7* Sudoku keeps your brain young! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
