### 4/5 — Revd  R

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.9*

Challenging and perfectly logical

### 2/5 — Can't study errors

*2026-05-08, version 1.0.9*

On the last play it doesn't hold the screen long enough to see what you error was.
Too many ads

### 3/5 — Great except the ads

*2026-04-09, version 1.0.9*

Love the game. Hate the 5 minutes it takes to get to the next game due to ads.

### 3/5 — Paying the price

*2026-01-06, version 1.0.9*

Fine app as it goes but don’t try listening to music on your device at the same time - the adds pause the music every few minutes.  Will keep it for occasions when not wanting to listen at the same time.

### 3/5 — Good game spoilt by many dodgy ads

*2025-11-28, version 1.0.7*

Good game spoilt by ads. This is a good game but badly spoilt by the ads you allow. Some of the ads are really dodgy bordering on scams. In fact I think some are scams . Also why in the uk do we get many ads relevant only to US! You need to sort out the ads to ensure full enjoyment if the game. The worst dodgy ad is TEMU Their ads are offensive show what a scam organisation they are and breach most advertising rules STOP SHOWING THESE ADS You are now showing illegal ads that make false claims in breach of UK law. Both the advertiser and yourselves will be reported to UK advertising standards authority for prosecution.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-10-17, version 1.0.7*

So far no issues with this version

### 5/5 — One reason I like Sudoku

*2025-10-12, version 1.0.7*

Helps me think figuring things out

### 5/5 — Clever !

*2025-10-07, version 1.0.7*

So simple yet I find that I’m able to speed up my game!

### 5/5 — It is what I was looking for.

*2025-09-18, version 1.0.7*

Easy to see and fun to play

### 3/5 — Good game spoilt by many dodgy ads

*2025-08-27, version 1.0.7*

### 5/5 — Fabulous.

*2025-08-02, version 1.0.7*

So fun. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Sudoku

*2025-08-01, version 1.0.7*

Great daily challenge

### 5/5 — A really free sudoku

*2025-06-29, version 1.0.7*

What a pleasure to find this free simply game. I had to sadly delete the game I had been playing for years because they suddenly imposed some new ads that played audio that you couldn’t mute. This game has everything I was looking for; several levels of difficulty, including Expert which is very challenging for me but I just can’t go back to lower levels now. 
The format is perfect. Numbers are sized nice and large. There’s the pencil feature to help eliminate unneeded entries. Eraser feature and the option to toggle off or on, music and sound effects. 
Thank you developers. Great job. You covered all the bases.

### 1/5 — Has Ads

*2026-07-29, version 1.0.9*

BS has ads

### 1/5 — Rubbish Sudoku

*2026-06-11, version 1.0.9*

Poor design - the previous version was much better. I will look for a different Sudoku platform to play on as this one is so bad. Bring back the older version or go out of business!

### 1/5 — Another lie

*2025-12-16, version 1.0.7*

So it says no ads, but like all the others they lie. They force ads on you.

### 1/5 — No Purchase

*2025-10-15, version 1.0.7*

I do not play it anymore, too many ads and they are annoying, their should be a purchase for no ads gaming

### 1/5 — New add sux

*2025-08-05, version 1.0.7*

The new ad for Flipp does not go away when prompted. I will delete this app for that purpose

### 1/5 — Unsolvable because it’s broken

*2025-06-18, version 1.0.7*

Many levels do not work because the numbers don’t add up. It gives you literally impossible puzzles with conflicting numbers, can’t be solved because it wants the same number twice in rows, blocks etc. 
Absolute WASTE OF TIME APP.

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2025-06-07, version 1.0.7*

For many months are played Sudoku and then you’re stupid that you’re promoting just gets in the way and is incredibly annoying and because of this I absolutely absolutely will not be downloading this because you’re so insistent like someone constantly tapping you on the shoulder so p off

### 1/5 — Forced ads with no way to eliminate them!

*2025-03-26, version 1.0.7*

I thought this might be a decent version of sudoku, but after playing a few times, the FORCED ads started.  I don’t mind ads when there’s a benefit to me, or the ability to turn them off via an in-app purchase.  However, this developer chose to have forced ads and NO way to disable them!

### 1/5 — Too bad

*2025-02-24, version 1.0.7*

Not a bad set up, but the ads are not just too often but too difficult to close. In fact I left one running to come here to alerteveryone to stay away, go back, run even.

### 1/5 — Too many adverts

*2025-02-21, version 1.0.7*

Far too many lengthy adverts for games and apps I have no interest in

*2026-01-09*

Até agora o melhor gratuito da loja.

### 5/5 — Really are no ads

*2025-12-15*

Thank you for not forcing ads. It is a breath of fresh air to be able to play a game without being interrupted with game ads that I would never play.
