I liked the app a ton until a few months ago when they started prompting me to rate and review the app after every. single. completed. puzzle. I left 5 star reviews multiple times, but after getting nagged a few hundred times since then, leaving this review in hopes the devs will fix the bug or stop the madness. ### 4/5 — Lots of fun *2026-08-26, version 3.9.8* Enjoy playing every day ### 2/5 — Fine *2026-08-02, version 3.9.8* Ok, I just want to relax and zone out. But it keeps asking me to rate and write a review. It’s getting as annoying as an ad. ### 4/5 — Good. Some awkward controls *2026-07-25, version 3.9.8* Truly no ads. Games work well. Some awkward controls and options. ### 3/5 — good sudoku, some irritations *2026-07-24, version 3.9.8* good, competent sudoku implementation, but the ui can be a little annoying (I would rather notes be a global toggle rather than resetting every time you select a cell with notes) and the pestering for a review is very irritating ### 3/5 — Fun game *2026-07-19, version 3.9.8* I love it, but I find it addictive. ### 3/5 — 5 Stars until Recently *2026-07-15, version 3.9.8* I have submitted a rating multiple times and after almost every game, I'm asked again to submit a rating and write a review. I would give the game itself 5 stars if it weren't for the constant request for ratings ### 5/5 — All colors no good *2026-07-14, version 3.9.8* Do not like the colored screen. Black and white is easier to see. ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2026-07-12, version 3.9.8* Excellent! I’ve been playing this for years, very good value for money ### 2/5 — Sudoku *2026-07-11, version 3.9.8* Would rate higher, but getting asked for a review after almost every game is tedious. ### 5/5 — Gr8 *2026-07-08, version 3.9.8* Too easy to input numbers by mistake toddling through the options ### 5/5 — Straight forward and no ads *2026-07-07, version 3.9.8* I like this one- it’s very visible, help is optional but available, easy level is pleasantly quick but the mediums actually take me longer than the hard and difficult levels. Nicely challenging and no distracting ads. ### 5/5 — Best sudoku *2026-07-02, version 3.9.8* No ads, no pop-ups ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop asking me to rate you work. *2026-08-30, version 3.9.8* It works ### 1/5 — Great to play Hard to review *2026-08-28, version 3.9.8* It’s a great playing game, but it keeps nagging for reviews — even after I have tried to give it several of them. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-08-18, version 3.9.8* Game is adequate ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-15, version 3.9.8* I like this Sudoku app, it is my favourite. In my previous rating feedback I gave it five stars. You keep asking me to rate it. Please stop, it is annoying. ### 1/5 — Nightmare to rate *2026-08-15, version 3.9.8* Rating nightmare all I wanna do is play the game, but it keeps asking me to rate the game. ### 1/5 — Really bad and I paid for this! *2026-08-10, version 3.9.8* This app has little to no functionality. When you complete a number, it doesn’t disappear. Instead of the pencil staying on until you change it. It goes off every time you touch something different. If you touch a five to see where all the fives are the pencil automatically turns off it also doesn’t tell you if you’ve made a mistake so I went through a game for 30 minutes trying to figure out why it’s not working and there are two threes in the same line. I would really like to get my money back. This is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever played. ### 1/5 — Very poor *2026-07-18, version 3.9.8* This game has no features whatsoever. I’m sorry I wasted my money on it. I’ve asked for a refund but no response ### 1/5 — Every time I play it asks for a review *2026-06-29, version 3.9.8* Here is a one star for being annoying. Otherwise it’s a fine game. ### 1/5 — Cheesed off *2026-06-22, version 3.9.8* I don’t like being asked for a review every time I switch on the app!!! And I thought I paid for no advertising so being asked to review is just as bad!!!!! Please leave me alone. ### 1/5 — Review request after every game *2026-06-12, version 3.9.8* I’ve answered this review request three times now, after ignoring it for a while, hoping it will go away. This game is a little weird in some of its functions but requires me to think and analyze so… that’s the point. Please stop the review requests ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Writing *2026-08-22, version 3.9.8* This so this review request stops popping up. Avoiding this nonsense is why I coughed up two bucks. ### 5/5 — Sudoku Challenge *2026-08-21, version 3.9.8* A great brain challenge and a lesson in patience. I start at Easy and progress through the highest level and then do the level challenge and I start over if I make a mistake. Lesson is the think through and have patience! ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-18, version 3.9.8* Much fun ### 5/5 — Mental reset *2026-08-09, version 3.9.8* Sudoku creates a mental reset ### 5/5 — As seen on TV *2026-08-07, version 3.9.8* I don’t normally write reviews because I think they’re stupid; however, this app deserves a great review because I paid once, never get an ad, and I get unlimited games. All with a really good interface. ### 5/5 — Great to play *2026-08-06, version 3.9.8* Hard to review ### 5/5 — Addictive game *2026-08-05, version 3.9.8* Excellent version of sudoku with increasing levels allowing skill ### 5/5 — One one bug: diabolical achievement not showing *2026-07-31, version 3.9.8* I play this almost every day, and only one thing is failing. I’ve solved several diabolical level sudokus, but this is not showing in the achievements. I gave a 5 because it’s the best sudoku I’ve found, but this one sync(?) issue is not appearing, either after playing on my iPad or today, when I solved another diabolical level puzzle on my MacBook Air. ### 5/5 — Fine *2026-07-30, version 3.9.8* Ok, forcing me to write a review , don’t like that. It keeps asking me. Maybe if I give it five stars it will stop ### 5/5 — The best! *2026-07-26, version 3.9.8* Been playin it for almost 10+ years, still my favorite game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
