## What is ▻Sudoku +?

▻Sudoku is Sudoku with Point System, Runs, and Online Leaderboards. Discover the next evolution of Sudoku with amazing graphics, animations, and ease of use. This is a Sudoku like one you have never experienced before ;)

...Thousands of puzzles, all free.  Top class puzzles with selectable level of difficulty :)
________________________________
To the classic Sudoku, we added:

=> A smart point system, wherein your score is based on 1) the value of each number multiplied (at the time of its match) by a multiplier that decreases in time and 2) the value of each block, row, column multiplied (at the time of its completion) by the decreasing multiplier

=> Thanks to Game Center, you can now rank and compare Sudoku scores and achievements against friends and strangers

=> ▻Sudoku also counts the runs, that is, each uninterrupted sequence of games won, and adds them to the online leaderboards 
________________________________
In ▻Sudoku, you win a game when you solve a puzzle with 3 errors or less (we used this threshold to give a bit of slack for mis-tapping :) Also, you have a number of hints to help you play (more at the easy, less at the hard level). To fit any taste, you can choose between a lush tile look or a more classic board look :)

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-08-24, version 7.15*

Been playing for 10 years. Pop ups are unnecessary

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-18, version 7.15*

Live the graphics!  Comfortable presentation lets you know right away if you’re answer is incorrect.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-07-04, version 7.15*

Can’t finish a round due to glitches… went back to the free version

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-26, version 7.15*

Great game

### 2/5 — MUCH better than the FREE VERSION

*2026-06-17, version 7.15*

I've been playing PeopleFun's Sudoku since it first launched (I was one of those who pre-ordered the original iPad, so it's been quite a while).

That version had ads, but they didn't prevent me from seeing the game tiles (which are at the bottom of the screen).

My issue with that free version was when I started using my iPad vertically with the miniPad.

That's when I couldn’t see the tiles properly, and even tapping on a tile often launched the app instead of selecting the tile. 

After trying several ‘workarounds,’ which were never perfect, the ads would eventually return. That’s when I first contacted PeopleFun, telling them I loved the game, but the ads were making it nearly unplayable because they distracted me. I asked if they had a version without ads, or at least one with less intrusive ads. I said I’d pay or subscribe to stop the ads.

I don’t remember if they replied, and I don't have time to check often.

I had issues with the first version of this game.

A few months ago (about 2-3 months before June 2026), I finally saw a reply — buried deep in the app’s instruction page, which most people rarely visit or notice.

Because the free version isn't called 'Sudulo 2,’ and this isn't explicitly called an ‘ad-free’ or ‘plus’ version, you won’t find it unless you search ‘>Suduko2Pro.’

### 2/5 — Bit small

*2026-06-14, version 7.15*

Not big enough for the iPad!! the free version was better but has lots of ads

### 5/5 — AD FREE PLAY

*2026-06-10, version 7.15*

No ads. Well worth the price.

### 4/5 — Screen orientation lock

*2026-05-29, version 7.15*

The orientation lock does not work and they are not fixing it.

### 5/5 — Miss input

*2026-05-29, version 7.15*

Occasionally,  I will enter the correct number but the system kicks it back and charges me with a strike.  I will enter the same number again and it will accept the input.

### 5/5 — Been playing over a decade

*2026-05-28, version 7.15*

This is my go to game. Challenging and relaxing. Love it!
