This app does not rotate which is a very basic UI requirement which means I can't use the app. Developers - please add app rotation!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — My ranking *2024-10-17* I am always disappointed that my rank goes back to beginner, when I have spent HOURS to achieve expert. Especially receiving the message “congratulations Beginner!” after completing my first game after the upgrade. ### 4/5 — Вопрос по обновлению *2024-10-13* Очень интересная судоку! Но почему при обновлении обнуляется предыдущее достижения (том числе в очках)??? ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2024-06-12* I am very pleased that i purchased this app…….i use it every day!!! I find it quite challenging but also fun ### 5/5 — Simple? There is no “Simple!” *2022-06-27* Just a short note. The algorithm that decides the degree of difficulty of a puzzle in this app needs work! I find the “Simple” puzzles (level 1) to be much more challenging than the “Easy” ones (level 2.) ### 4/5 — Still good but not as good *2022-05-31* This version appears to have all the functionality of the previous version but with the buttons rearranged for no apparent reason, in some ways detracting from ease of use. The menu button is used every time a new sudoku is started. Why is it now off in a corner? Here’s my review of the previous version: This is an excellent sudoku app -- straightforward to use and just flexible enough, with sensible options and choices but no silly frills or add-ons. Works great on my iPhone SE, as its predecessor versions did on my ancient iPhone 5S. ### 5/5 — Great Sudoku *2022-05-29* I really enjoy playing this game. I like being able to change the colors of my numbers and putting in my own numbers too. It’s very relaxing. ### 5/5 — Like the layout and tools *2022-04-15* I am learning Sudoku and have the tools in this app very helpful. ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-04-06* A number of useful features. ### 5/5 — Excellent sudoku *2022-04-05* I have used this site for a year and find it excellent. It is easy to find your way around and there are hints on how to use it. I’ve become more adept at solving sudokus and recommend this site to anybody who wants to learn how to do it and get better at it. ### 5/5 — Love the extra hints *2022-04-03* I get to learn new skills from the hint section, so I can up my game Like all the levels ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-03-26* Love it! ### 4/5 — Good *2022-03-16, version 4.03* No worries sudoku ### 3/5 — Perfectly adequate *2022-03-13* All okay ### 2/5 — Weird version of classic game *2022-03-05* I want to like this...it has plenty of options. But it feels strange. And the timer runs at double speed on my iPad Pro with iOS 15, which makes me feel really twitchy. **Developer response:** Thank you, we have fixed the timer for you. What else can we improve? ### 5/5 — Fab app *2022-03-04, version 4.01* Great to do over a cuppa tea and quiet time and keep the grey matter working ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Grottenschlechtes Layout *2024-08-05* ich würde die Zahlung sofort wieder rückgängig machen wollen. Das Layout ist miserabel und z.B. die Menü-Funktion kann man anklicken, dann tut sich nichts und ich muss das Programm neu starten. Es verdient "-1" Stern. Ich bin stinksauer. **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass es Ihnen so nicht gefällt. Können Sie uns bitte erklären, wie wir es für Sie verbessern können? ### 1/5 — Not great. Not even good. *2022-04-03* Intrusive ads. Odd glitches after last update. **Developer response:** What ads? This isn't true. ### 1/5 — Crashes after latest update *2022-02-27* App crashes when starting a new game ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2022-02-26* Pris la version pro gratuite lors d’une promotion. Remplie de but qui nuit à l’expérience de jeu. De plus dès la première mise a jour le jeu devient injouable si on ne paye pas… ### 1/5 — Quit working *2022-02-24* Every time I tap create a new game is closes the app!! 😩 ### 1/5 — Mudanças no app inviabilizaram seu uso *2022-02-23* Estou triste. Esse era, de longe, o MELHOR app de sudoku que já experimentei: interface limpa e intuitiva, ferramentas de jogo excelentes, manual bem explicado… Aí veio a primeira mudança negativa: ads. “É”, pensei, “estava bom demais pra ser verdade um app tão bom assim não ter ads”. Entendo a necessidade de monetização, mas já começou a dar uma poluída na interface… mas até aí, tudo bem, ainda daria pra continuar jogando — ou foi o que eu pensei. Qual não foi minha surpresa ao perceber que o jogo simplesmente não cria mais novos sudokus? Algum bug no app o tornou inviável, porque não consigo mais abrir nenhum novo jogo. Por favor, verifiquem o problema e façam essa usuária feliz novamente! Minha rotina de sono não é a mesma sem esse app. ### 1/5 — Maj qui m’enlève tout accès au jeu *2022-02-22* Bon jeu sauf depuis la maj je ne peux plus ouvrir de grille, plus jouer du tout ### 1/5 — this update is a trap *2022-02-22* don't buy it **Developer response:** Apologies it is now fixed. ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-11-27* This app is not user friendly Don’t give them your money ### 1/5 — Will not work in Landscape Mode *2021-04-01* I cannot even play it because it will only open in Portrait upright mode. Bummer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ohne Werbung in der Pro Version *2026-07-29* Differenzierte aufsteigende Schwierigkeitsgrade ### 5/5 — Shea *2026-07-29* Top app ### 5/5 — Best Sudoku App *2026-04-04* They have thought of everything ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best ever *2025-10-27* I have used versions of this app on different platforms and I absolutely recommend it. There is no better one. ### 5/5 — Uh, uh, fun! *2025-07-23* Ba deep a doop! ### 5/5 — The Cadillac of sudoku games. *2025-04-08* I have been playing this game for many years, and it is the most creative of all the sudoku apps I’ve tried. Besides the daily master puzzles, I love to enter challenging puzzles from other sources, and complete them without paper erasures. I love the variety of colors, typefaces and grid styles. I also love the “rewind” function that enable you to scroll back to a possible error. ### 5/5 — I like it *2024-11-06* Perfect for relaxing ### 5/5 — I want my achievements back *2024-10-21* I love this version of sudoku. I have played several apps from different developers and this is my favourite. However I am having an issue since the latest update when I lost all my stats. The only way I can play at my level has been by purchasing it AGAIN. I hope to get my stats back but in the meantime I will carry on building up my status again. ### 5/5 — The app has suddenly decided I need to upgrade to Pro. *2024-10-12* Again. Which erases all my statistics Again. Not that I’m keeping track. It’s just annoying. Everything else is wonderful! ### 5/5 — Good purchase *2024-10-11* I have been using the free version for years and am happy to have updates with this version. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
