Could you please contact our support team through the in-game settings? ### 4/5 — Les pub annonces *2026-07-30* Dommage de voir couvrir la page d’une proposition d’un autre jeu ! Cele déconcentre 😏 **Developer response:** Merci pour vos commentaires ! La publicité nous permet de développer le jeu, d’ajouter des mises à jour et de le maintenir gratuit pour tous les joueurs. Nous vous remercions sincèrement de votre compréhension et de votre soutien ❤️ ### 2/5 — よく落ちる！ *2026-07-25* このゲームだけよく途中で落ちる、広告も多いし落ちて再起動するとほぼ最初からだしダメ！ **Developer response:** We're sorry you're experiencing issues with the app. So we can investigate the cause, please contact us with a description of the issue from the game settings. This allows us to retrieve your game profile data for further analysis. ### 4/5 — Question *2026-07-23, version 1.31.0* Your game doesn’t tell me why the number I chose is wrong?? ### 3/5 — 解きやすいけど *2026-07-12* 電波があってもすぐに繋がらなくなるのが残念😞 ゲーム自体はメチャクチャいいです🩷😆👍 **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We're glad to know you like the game. We're sorry you're experiencing network issues. We'll be sure to double-check the game's work. However, please note that we have no influence over the stability of your connection. ### 3/5 — 内容はいいが…… *2026-06-18* 機能やコンテンツへの不満はないが、アプリを開いてるだけでめちゃくちゃ発熱するしバッテリーの消費も激しくて困っている。 自分だけですか？ **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry you've encountered issues with the app. Our specialists will double-check the app's performance. To obtain more information about how the app works on your device, please contact us using the Feedback button in the game settings 🙌 ### 3/5 — Битва нечестная *2026-06-17* Зачем делать битву, если в ней не участвуют реальные люди? Очевидно, что игра происходит с ботами. Ещё при старте уже будет ясно, выиграю я или нет,- соперник либо изначально отстает, либо опережает. При паузах замирает и он, и всегда держит расстояние 3-4 хода. Никогда за 50+ игр не было другого отрыва. Совершенно глупо и несправедливо, что судьба предопределена ещё до начала **Developer response:** Благодарим вас за отзыв. Сожалеем, что текущая реализация битв вам не понравилась. На текущем этапе развития проекта соперниками являются боты, но мы продолжаем работу над развитием проекта, включая развитие режима битв. Надеемся игра еще сможет заслужить лучшую оценку. ### 2/5 — Ka-boom, crashed again *2026-06-14, version 1.30* I was enjoying this app until it recently started crashing repeatedly. When I’d go back into the puzzle, all of my work would be gone. This is especially frustrating when I was working on a 16 x 16 puzzle. I’ve deleted the app. ### 2/5 — Liars *2026-05-11, version 1.26.2* You lie like a cheap rug. Your come on says “NO ADS”. But, you make users watch multiple very distasteful ads between games. STOP LYING TO THE PUBLIC. OR, Just go away. ### 3/5 — Hat sehr viel Werbung *2026-05-10* Spiel ist wirklich super aufgebaut dafür 5 Sterne. Sternabzug für zwei Kriterien: 1. Das Spiel hat sehr viel Werbung, dann noch in Beschreibung ohne Werbung zu betiteln, ist schon frech. 2. Online gegen andere Spieler ist absoluter Fake. Weil der angeblicher Spieler passt sich dir an. Mehrfach getestet, wenn man alle Ergebnisse mit Bleistift vorschreibt und dann alle auf einmal richtig abschließt, ist der Spieler plötzlich genau so schnell, meistens gewinnt man nur so mit gute Bilanz. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback. Wir werden Ihre Anmerkungen auf jeden Fall mit dem Projektteam besprechen und versuchen, sie in unsere zukünftige Arbeit einfließen zu lassen. Wir hoffen, dass zukünftige Versionen des Spiels eine bessere Bewertung erhalten können. ### 3/5 — good game but ads every time *2026-04-30, version 1.26.2* when i lose all 3 chances and click reset instead of regain another life i still get an ad ### 2/5 — Pub *2026-04-21* Trop de pub **Developer response:** Nous nous excusons pour la situation. Un correctif qui devrait résoudre ce problème sera publié dans une prochaine mise à jour. ### 2/5 — Trop de bugs *2026-03-30* Le jeu est bien en soit, mais le problème c’est que c’est que l’appli plante CONSTAMMENT. L’écran freeze et impossible de quitter l’appli ou même de verrouiller l’écran, cela bloque totalement le téléphone. Il faudrait corriger ce bug parce que c’est vraiment insupportable alors que le jeu est bien à la base. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés des problèmes que vous rencontrez avec l'application. Afin de mieux comprendre la situation, veuillez nous contacter via les paramètres du jeu. Cela nous permettra d'accéder aux données de votre profil pour une analyse plus approfondie. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-03-18* Beau design, facile à manipuler **Developer response:** Merci pour vos commentaires ! Amusez-vous bien ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — みんな言ってるけど *2026-08-28* 広告しつこい ### 1/5 — 重い *2026-08-22* 重くてラグが多発する。ナンプレでラグ多発は致命的。 怪しいんでアンインスト。 **Developer response:** We're very sorry you're experiencing issues with the app. Please contact us via the feedback button in the game settings so we can investigate further 🙌 ### 1/5 — 섯다리워드안줌 *2026-08-03* 3만점 한달안에 채웠는데 안줌 어플 지우고 계정삭제해야지 **Developer response:** We do not manage third-party services and cannot say anything about their work. Please contact the support of the service where you expect to receive rewards. ### 1/5 — ポイ活で始めました *2026-07-29* 低ポイントのミッションだけ即反映されましたが、途中から急に反映されなくなりました！やらない方がいいです **Developer response:** We do not manage third-party services and cannot say anything about their work. Please contact the support of the service where you expect to receive rewards. ### 1/5 — FAKE Werbung „ohne Werbung“ *2026-05-20* Gut aufgebautes Sudoku, aber Beschiß, dass es ohne Werbung sein soll. **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass das Spiel Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllt hat. Wir weisen außerdem darauf hin, dass Sie auch ohne Werbung spielen können, dafür müssen Sie jedoch bestimmte Bedingungen erfüllen. ### 1/5 — Много рекламы *2026-04-12* После прохождения двух уровней, началась реклама. Ты открываешь несколько цифр и тут же реклама, и так весь уровень. **Developer response:** Сожалеем, что работа рекламы доставила вам неудобства. В игре есть реклама, но полноэкранная реклама не должна отображаться во время решения уровня или после ввода нескольких цифр. Чтобы мы могли детальнее разобраться в данной ситуации, пожалуйста, напишите нам с описанием из настроек игры. Это позволит нам получить данные вашего профиля для дальнейшего анализа. ### 1/5 — Macht das iPhone heiß und die Batterie leer *2026-03-16* Diese App macht die Batterie extrem schnell leer. Was treibt das Ding im Hintergrund, sucht es nach Außerirdischen? **Developer response:** We're sorry you're having trouble while using the app. Please contact us through the game settings and describe the issue. This will allow us to receive your game profile data for further analysis. ### 1/5 — Lourd *2026-03-16* Trop de pub pour joue à un sudoku ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-02-25, version 1.24.9* I took the ad at its word, No Annoying Ads. Well ten games later, boom, Ads, lots of ads, I guess they don’t consider their ads annoying. Well, I do, so I deleted it. If it was up to me I wouldn’t even give this a one rating as it’s not worth it. ### 1/5 — . *2026-02-24, version 1.24.9* This is not what showed when I loaded ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty typical ... *2026-08-27, version 1.33* Fun. This is a simple, time passing, classic sudoku game. ### 5/5 — 시작하기누르면 *2026-08-21* 시작하기누르면 광고만나오고 광고가 꺼지지도않아서 실행을못해요 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Ads help us develop the game, add new content, and keep it free for all players. There's an option to disable ads in the game. In general, we recommend waiting for the close button to appear while watching a video or using the "Back" button on your device to return to the game. If you encounter a video that you can't close, please send us a screenshot using the feedback button in the game settings 🙌 ### 5/5 — Game Ruined *2026-06-08, version 1.29.1* This was the very best Sudoku, with many versions and varieties to play. They completely revamped the app recently. I literally hate it. Although this is one of the few sudoku games that has 16 x 16 games, which I love, I ended up deleting the app, which I had played for years. When it wasn’t broke, they shouldn’t have fixed it. ### 5/5 — Super application *2026-04-06* Top du top ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-04-05* It was a great experience playing this game for the first time. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and great rating! ### 5/5 — Need pencil *2026-04-03, version 1.25.2* Need pencil to figure out correct squares ### 5/5 — Mrs C Sleigh *2026-03-31, version 1.25.2* I am 82 & I enjoy working out the puzzles to help keep my brain functioning, ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2026-03-28, version 1.25.2* Нравится ### 5/5 — Super sodoku *2026-03-25* Extra ce jeu **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires ! Nous sommes ravis que le jeu vous plaise ❤️ ### 5/5 — Très sympa *2026-03-18* Ludique et logique !
