Scammy, desperate methods

This app opened an email to go to them that was actually just a popup to advertise their paid version. That is terrible. App quality doesn’t matter after that, that’s too obtrusive

HOT

Well made app I would say, but my MacBook m5 air got so dang got that I thought my device was messed up. I like to think my device is just fine, so app is the problem.

Won’t run - MacOS 26

App opened initially, then I grabbed the edge of the app window to resize it. It almost tried to resize but disappeared. Now it won’t open at all.

Errors

Two games had wrong numbers in boxes - couldn't add the missing number!

intrusive

Everytime a game ended it messed with my email.

Good not great yet

I like it when an incorrect number shows up in red so I don't waste my time filling in every square only to find that there's an error.

Scam game, do NOT download!

Immediately as you load in, it asks you to turn on notifications and buy their premium version. Then, once you finish a puzzle, it tries to force an email from your Apple account to everyone in your contact list. On top of that, it then creates twice as many pop-ups asking you to buy the premium version. Do not install this app!

20% Battery for every 30mins

TLDR; Started the game at 44% battery, ended with 25% after half an hour.

Above says it all really. Doesn't seem to be well optimized, Macbook Pro 14 M1 got decently warm, could feel it through the keyboard. I've played more than a few games on this machine and this is by far too simple of a game to run this hot.

The game itself is simple and to the point but perhaps knowing a mistake has been made before reaching the end of the game would be helpful to others. Also labels or a guide for what the buttons do would also be nice.

All in all this was what I was looking for but I wasn't expecting to have to connect to my charger after one match. It doesn't deserve anything less than 3 stars but the battery drain is unacceptable.

Strange pop-up link

After playing the game, a page opened wanting me to open a link. I deleted the game from my computer.

Wants to send mail

Upon completion of the first game, mail popped open with a draft and some text about the game. Creepy. Uninstall.

No help feature

I would prefer it had a good help feature instead of having to wait till you realize you made an incorrect choice!

High CPU Usage

Besides a lack of explanation of the colors and other screen activity, this app constantly runs my CPU at over 60% causing the fans to come on and my keyoard to get hot. This occurs even when when I'm just staring at the numbers and there's no game activity.

It was so bad that I had to uninstall this program.

I read their privacy policy and while they say they don't collect any indentifable info from you, they use 3rd party services that may be collecting your identifable information. It feels like there's a free-for-all going on inside my macbook.

Why is this on the App Store?

Downloaded this from the App Store. Tried to open it, got errors that the files could not be verified, so I could not open it. Nothing I did worked. Finally had to delete it.

Not Allowed to Disable Timer

This version was not for me. I play Sudoku to relax and I can't relax with a timer in my face. It's too bad there wasn't an option to disable it. This version may be good for someone who enjoys racing againt a clock. But, for me, it adds stress and just defeats my purpose of relaxation.

Incorrect

There are multiple grids that are incorrect. They tell me to add a number that is already in the box. Easy to use but not accurate.

Mobile game on laptop

The keyboard work to interact with the game, but otherwise this is the mobile game on a larger screen. No guides but the interface is not too difficult. One file came up as un-installable but the game still works without it.

Very Confusing

There is no indication -- and no way to find out -- what the changing colors of the numbers mean. When I finish a row, the background changes color, but it does not stay changed. It's difficult to keep track of what I have already completed.

I am new to Sudoku and it would help to have some visual aids. This game seems to have them, but won't tell me what they are!

Alaways a bug!

Every single time I played there was no possible way to complete the puzzle, I loved the game at first, but this completely ruined it for me! One of the worst games I have downloaded on my Mac

No Window

The images in the App Store looked nice, but when I ran the program and selected New Game, nothing else happened. Disappointing.

A great Sudoku game for Mac IOS

Very enjoyable sudoku game. Puzzle configurations are fare and not impossible to play.
