I can play for hours!!! ### 5/5 — Keeps me sharp *2026-08-25, version 1.2.72* Challenging yet rewarding ### 5/5 — Interesting & challenging *2026-08-25, version 1.2.72* No game is the same, so you need a to focus and work on it at every level. For now, I keep on the easy one. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* Only Sudoku I could find that is ad free as advertised. ### 5/5 — No ads is true *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* This is one of the better Sudoku apps that I’ve tried. It really doesn’t have any ads unless you want a smart hint or you make 3 mistakes and you want an extra go. Really like the fast notes option to get the app to fill in all the possible missing numbers. ### 5/5 — Teaches Sudoku Logic! *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* This app is great! There are no ads except to earn fast notes and smart tips, which don’t just complete a box for you, they teach you sudoku logic and guide you. A lot of other sudoku apps promise “no ads”. This one is the only one that delivers. Love it! I started playing just to pass some time, but actually really enjoy learning it now! ### 4/5 — Suzuki minimum adds *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* Good game, the adds are not bad, but the buttons to push could be larger. ### 5/5 — Min ads *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* This is much better than other sudoku games which have ads every 5 seconds. Ads are at a minimum. ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* NO ADS best game app to play sudoku ### 5/5 — Great for beginners *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* 1st time playing sudoku and I am enjoying this app. ### 5/5 — Closest thing to no ads *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* If you never need extra moves, you don't need to ever watch an ad. I appreciate that. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* Excellent work ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* Lots of fun with limited adds. ### 5/5 — the best *2026-08-24, version 1.2.72* As the title says, it doesn’t have adds, definitely recommend !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ads 5 minutes in. *2026-08-18, version 1.2.71* this is misleading. I downloaded this because it said no ads. I completed a few lines and blocks and then I had to watch an ad to “continue playing.” deleting. ### 1/5 — No pop up ads game has forced ad breaks *2026-08-16, version 1.2.71* Reread title ### 1/5 — Sudoku *2026-08-09, version 1.2.71* Too many ads and many are too long. Can’t bypass. ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-08-03, version 1.2.69* Has adds , don’t know what people are saying. It has advertising. Every move , lame !!! ### 1/5 — Review before deleting this app… *2026-07-25, version 1.2.68* 1. Cannot mute sound 2. Portrait only. Landscape not available, so awkward for iPad 3. Only one mode… select cell first, number-to-insert second. The other is unavailable- (select number first, then tap the cells where you want to insert that number. 4. The “no ads”claim is a lie. ### 1/5 — Ads NOT skippable + deleted my game without even giving me the option to watch an ad to continue! *2026-07-08* I initially tolerated the ads only coming up after 3 mistakes, but I accidentally clicked the wrong number and instead of giving me the option to watch an ad and keep going, it just deleted the game and forced me to start a new one. I was furious because I was playing this to calm down after a very stressful day, and I was getting so close to solving it. Due to my disability I have a hard time clicking the right number so this keeps happening even when I know the right one, so it feels really scummy anyway and the ads are NOT skippable. It still makes you watch the full 30+ seconds anyway before closing them. I’m deleting this app and just getting another physical book. Way more relaxing and engaging that way. ### 1/5 — Major flaws *2026-07-01, version 1.2.66* The pop up ad feature is great! However, the app has a a couple of major bugs. When you use the fast note feature your updates don’t get saved when you close and reopen the game. That is the candidates that you eliminated get reinstated upon reopening the game. And when you use the hint option and patiently go through those annoying ads to get the hint eventually, the hint is something that you already eliminated from your Notes no matter how many times you hit the hint button It always shows you the hints that you have already implemented. ### 1/5 — Deceptive “smart hint” feature *2026-07-01, version 1.2.66* When using the Smart Hint feature, the app rolls back the board state and offers a “solution” to a problem that you’ve already solved and recorded, rather than demonstrating how to progress the current board state. ### 1/5 — Have ads!!! *2026-06-21, version 1.2.65* It’s fake. Have ads on every puzzle. Why they lie?! ### 1/5 — There are Ads! *2026-06-19, version 1.2.65* There is a permanent banner at the bottom for another sudoku game and pop up windows for other things. “No Ads” is far from accurate ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-27, version 1.2.72* It’s my first time playing a game uninterrupted by ads, yay ### 5/5 — Best Sudoku Game *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* Best Sudoku game ever! Not many ads AND other games available. ### 5/5 — Best no ad sudoku *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* The other apps would drive me crazy. Not just ads, but ads you couldn’t even close for 3 minutes. ### 5/5 — Me desconcentran *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* Los anuncios no ayudan al propósito del juego ### 5/5 — Love love love💖💖💖 *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* I originally wrote a four star revue because of the fact that it limits you to three mistakes but now that I think about it if you did take that away people would be free to cheat. On top of that I discovered the music!!! I looooooooooovvvvvveeeee the music! So relaxing!! Thank you for your game💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* The best of all I’ve tried! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* Great app with great features ☺️ ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-26, version 1.2.72* I just want to play sudoku.
