### 5/5 — Love this version

*2026-08-28, version 1.5.3*

I’ve been playing for a week or so now and I LOVE me some Sudoku. This app has been overall a good experience vs some of the others that I have tried.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-10*

Good

### 5/5 — Good version

*2026-06-27, version 1.5.1*

Quick and easy to play.

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2026-06-08, version 1.5.0*

Ads are now freezing.  Won’t let me restart the game after 3 lives because the ads freeze the app.  Just started about 2 weeks ago.

### 4/5 — Sudoku Now!

*2026-04-20, version 1.4.0*

Love the game but some ads take WAY TOO LONG before you can delete them and continue the game. Otherwise it’s fun and relaxing!!

### 3/5 — 구입했는데도 광고가 계속떠요

*2026-04-19*

구입했는데도 광고가 계속떠요

### 4/5 — Solid sudoku game!

*2026-03-16, version 1.4.0*

Very playable.

Only real minus I have found so far is the lack of "auto pencil", or "quick fill".

Since almost every advanced solving technique requires pencil marks/notes, on tougher puzzles, it's nice to just start with them filled in!

### 1/5 — Concerning

*2026-03-01*

This app works well, it obviously has been made by someone who plays sudoku, it’s well made. HOWEVER, not only there are quite a bit of ads, but the app now opens other apps, such as AliExpress, frequently. It even opened WhatsApp, created a conversation with a surgeon and prepared a message to make an appointment for a surgery. THIS IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING.
I hope this changes asap or you might loose many users.

### 3/5 — Nice, but …

*2026-02-06, version 1.3.3*

Too many ads for other games.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-05, version 1.3.3*

Easy to play.  The easy level has rows and or blocks shaded
