How does a SUDOKU APP of all things lie in the ad?! Claimed to be an ad-free alternative to the app I was using. Got an ad after the very first game. SMH. Solid game otherwise. ### 2/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-08-24, version 5.6.0* The gameplay itself isn’t bad, I mean it’s sudoku. But this was advertised to me whilst playing easybrains sudoku.com as haven’t absolutely zero adverts. Since completing the first puzzle I’ve been littered with ads. Every pause, new game, end of game. False advertising ### 3/5 — Works well, but notes count as mistakes *2026-08-23, version 5.6.0* Why are notes counting as mistakes? That’s ridiculous, and cheap. The whole point of notes is to avoid mistakes yet you penalize for it and make it very cheaty ### 3/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-17, version 5.6.0* Ads are out of control. Made the game unplayable so had to delete. ### 2/5 — Adds still there after buying add free *2026-08-11, version 5.5.0* I love the game but the adds kept bothering me so I looked to see if there was ad free and when there was it, I bought it. I immediately went into a game and got an add I thought maybe the game just had to update so I closed it out and reopened it but still adds ### 4/5 — Pub *2026-08-04* Trop de publicité par contre très bon jeux **Developer response:** Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour votre soutien ! En tant que startup, chaque avis compte énormément pour nous. Si vous pensez à une façon dont nous pourrions nous améliorer, veuillez nous contacter à sudoku@fungame.studio avec vos retours. Nous espérons que nos améliorations continues mériteront votre 5ème étoile ! Merci ! :-) - May ### 2/5 — Virus and phishing *2026-08-03, version 5.5.0* Last few months - every time I play a game I have virus/phishing notifications. The app is bugged ### 5/5 — Помогите *2026-07-31* Скажите, пожалуйста, как смотреть рекламу? Она у меня не загружается( Пробую и с впн и без него, не грузит:( ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2026-07-29, version 5.5.0* Wish there wasn’t so many ads ### 5/5 — Super *2026-07-28, version 5.5.0* Really better than others ### 2/5 — two star Sudoku *2026-07-26, version 5.5.0* Not Free has the most annoying ads they're loud and obnoxious and you can't click out of them either ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy scan *2026-08-31, version 5.6.0* Make sure Buy un advertised version and when they take your after they take your money, you get more advertisements and upgrades and whatever but it’s all a scam and I wish they would just go away the scam artists ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-21, version 5.6.0* I thought I was downloading a game with no ads annnnnnd it’s not. There are tons of them and they make the overall experience super unenjoyable. Aesthetically, it looks nice. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate ad *2026-08-13, version 5.5.0* THERE IS STILL ADS IN THIS VERSION OF SUDOKU ### 1/5 — Não baixem. Anúncios demais. *2026-08-08* Eles colocam diversos anúncios no meio de um mesmo jogo. Não entre um e outro como no geral. Uma perda de tempo! Não vale a pena. ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-07-25, version 5.5.0* Was playing the sudoku.com version, it popped up said “play the ad free version download now”. More ads than the original version. ### 1/5 — Lied About Ads *2026-07-24, version 5.5.0* Saw an ad for this app in another sudoku app claiming it was ad free, then got an ad after completing the first puzzle ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-22, version 5.5.0* They say no ads. There’s ads. They then say “Download new version, no ads, completely free” and of course there’s ads. Then the new version interrupts your game to tell you to again download yet another new version. They seem to want you to download a steady stream of sudoku apps. It’s stupid. ### 1/5 — Long ads at weird times *2026-07-22, version 5.5.0* I deleted my old sudoku app because this was apparently ad free. For the first while it was. Now there’s an ad when you start a new game, end a game, restart (even if you just had to answer a phone call). These ads are a minimum of 15-30 seconds and can’t be avoided. ### 1/5 — Annoying pop up *2026-07-20, version 5.5.0* I downloaded the game and then it started popping up on other apps. Deleted it purely because of the annoying pop up ### 1/5 — False premium *2026-07-18, version 5.5.0* Paid for no ads. Got an ad after finishing a game. No way to click out of it. Absurd. Want a refund immediately ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2026-09-02, version 5.6.0* It’s a good thing for your mind ### 5/5 — Good mind game *2026-08-30, version 5.6.0* Tricky ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-08-16, version 5.6.0* I saw it online and in 5 secs brought back my joy for sudoku ### 5/5 — Tupence *2026-08-16, version 5.6.0* It’s great getting my head around this game. I look forward to improving my game. ### 5/5 — Spiel gut *2026-08-16* Werbung nervt ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-08-13, version 5.5.0* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-13, version 5.5.0* The game relaxes my at night ### 5/5 — Great Brain Game *2026-08-07, version 5.5.0* This is one of the best Suduku games ever ### 5/5 — Brain strain *2026-08-04, version 5.5.0* Great game that makes you really think. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-02, version 5.5.0* Enjoyable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
