I would leave it all day and they would still be 20 minutes away before and never replenished after that. And way too expensive to take ads off. Too many ads, too many bugs, not worth ### 4/5 — Brain power *2025-02-14, version 1.4.7* A game that really makes you “THINK” ### 2/5 — Ad Heavy *2025-01-06, version 1.4.7* Rounds take me about 3 mins per puzzle. There’s about 2 mins of advertisements (1 min before a game and 1 min after). Game is fine but the ads are too much. Had to uninstall ### 3/5 — I can’t finish a game *2024-08-15, version 1.4.0* When ever I am doing an easy game bc I have just started when I feel good about my self bc I finished the game I try to turn on the notes bc they help me. But I can’t bc every single time I try it auto completes it even though I don’t what it to, so if anyone knows how to get rid of it pls let me know. ### 2/5 — Unfortunate *2024-07-22, version 1.4.0* Love Sudoku and this game's setup however I'm so irritated by the ad consistency. I can't even finish a full box without at least one ad. ### 2/5 — Fun but Pay to win *2024-07-12, version 1.4.0* Just like all the other Sudokus….pay to win. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Punishes you for making mistakes with ads *2024-06-02, version 1.3.9* First of all the app tells you when you make a mistake, which is not the real rules of sudoku. Then if you make enough mistakes it punishes the mistake with an add. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — No dark mode *2024-06-01, version 1.3.9* No dark mode and no smart invert support. Lazy and irresponsible ### 1/5 — 広告多い、長い *2024-05-21, version 1.3.9* 広告多いし長いのでやる気が失せました。ありがとうございました。 ### 1/5 — 広告長い *2024-03-26, version 1.2.9* 広告長い ### 1/5 — だめ *2023-12-23, version 1.2.9* 広告多くて長すぎるから、萎えます ### 4/5 — Sudoku *2023-11-17, version 1.2.8* Very fun. Ads too long and sometimes several in a row ### 2/5 — Ads *2023-10-31, version 1.2.6* Can’t continue to play. Way too many ads. Loved the game but deleting it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tried it, but no *2025-09-02, version 1.4.7* Too many ads plus you can’t listen to radio while playing game. Why would they program it like that. Good bye. ### 1/5 — New ads too long *2025-06-08, version 1.4.7* I opened it today and the ad just kept playing and playing. I thought it was glitched and restarted but the ads still kept going forever. Now it doesn’t show any time for how long the ad is so I had no way of knowing if it actually would ever end or if they just started playing extra long ads. Either way, I’m uninstalling after having it on my phone for years. ### 1/5 — Stop Hijacking Audio *2025-03-15, version 1.4.7* I understand supporting free apps through ad revenue, but allowing silent banner ads to take over audio output is completely unnecessary and unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled it Before I Could Even Play *2024-09-30, version 1.4.7* I installed the app, set it up, and selected to skip the tutorial yet the app made we go through the entire tutorial. Worse yet, it was endless and provided no means to close. Did the same thing the three times I tried to reopen the app. Clearly the Developers are clueless. Can only imagine what ads would have been like. ### 1/5 — Delete *2024-09-07, version 1.4.7* Deleted. The ads are insufferable. ### 1/5 — Ads are overwhelming *2024-08-18, version 1.4.0* Choose a different Sudoku app. This one randomly kicks me over to an ad without me touching the screen. It’s very frustrating, and I definitely have concerns about privacy. I have deleted it. ### 1/5 — Challenge mode is broken *2024-08-05, version 1.4.0* The challenge mode is obviously broken. You are playing against a bot and not a human. They will have correctly answered 5+ spots in the first 20 seconds which is impossible unless you are guessing or a bot with terrible balancing. I do the most challenging puzzles in 5 minutes but lose 5-50 in the challenge mode. Fix the difficulty of the challenge mode or make it so we are playing against humans. ### 1/5 — sketchy *2024-07-10, version 1.4.0* takes me out of the app to scams and “virus checkers” also too many ads ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-06-25, version 1.4.0* So many ads ### 1/5 — Pop up scam ads *2024-06-21, version 1.4.0* Has a lot of scam ads pretending to be antivirus, really sketchy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ads *2024-06-21, version 1.4.0* Could do without the ads but the game is excellent ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2024-06-08, version 1.4.0* So I think this game is great but I want there no adds because I want no adds. ### 5/5 — アプリを使ってみて *2024-02-11, version 1.2.9* 気持ち良いパズルです。 ### 5/5 — It is the best *2024-02-02, version 1.2.9* This app is absolutely amazing.I was first introduced to sudoku at my tutoring lesson and as soon as I got home,I went on my iPad and I was struggling to find a app.good choice. ### 5/5 — Brain Gain *2024-01-21* Great way to get my mind working and enjoy getting the end results. ### 5/5 — Game *2023-11-28, version 1.2.9* Excellent and fantastic work. ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2023-10-29, version 1.2.6* 😊 ### 5/5 — Review *2023-10-26, version 1.2.6* Enjoying playing . Good choice of skills. ### 5/5 — Problem *2023-10-17, version 1.2.5* I love this game, but I had to remove it from my phone. There’s a glitch somewhere in it. It makes my phone overheat. I have an iPhone XR. After a couple of games it starts warming up and the longer I play the hotter it gets. I removed it to protect my phone ### 5/5 — Each day *2023-10-07, version 1.1.15* Relaxing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
