### 4/5 — Gestion des cookies

*2026-06-10*

L’App est très bien, je l’utilise régulièrement, mais la gestion des cookies est assez pénible si on ne veut pas les accepter. Pourriez-vous rajouter le bouton « Tout refuser » qu’on n’ait pas à décocher une par une une cinquantaine de cases ? Merci !

### 4/5 — Lucien

*2024-05-12*

Le gris est trop clair et quand on voit pas bien, on distingue mal le contraste. C’est très clair pour le rouge et le orange mais pas pour le gris

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu de sudoku

*2023-09-11*

Merci pour cette application sans pub c’est appréciable

### 4/5 — Great app.  Awesome for Sudoku

*2023-06-30, version 1.40*

Works great.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2023-06-18, version 1.40*

Challenging and interesting. Great quality app

### 5/5 — Great time spent on this app

*2023-06-03, version 1.40*

Love it

### 5/5 — Vraiment super

*2023-02-27*

La présentation facilite le jeux trouver les chiffres manquant et très évident , de même on peut faire des essais et revenir en arrière il faut juste faire travailler la mémoire pour savoir où on a commencé l’essai !!

### 5/5 — Best Sudoku App

*2022-12-23, version 1.40*

I tried a few Sudoku apps before encountering this one and have been impressed with game mechanics, orientation options, and the fact they aren’t as data intrusive as many.
My only complaint is the button to leave the puzzle is set too close to the top left row of squares. It’s not major enough to knock down the five stars it deserves.

### 5/5 — The best Sudoku

*2022-12-13, version 1.39*

Best sudoku app i have found so far, categories, easy/medium etc are harder than any book versions. Really makes you work the gray matter. Layout is great. Ads are almost unnoticable.

### 4/5 — Sudoku très agréable et de manipulation facile

*2022-09-13*

Très agréable de jouer avec.

### 4/5 — Une idée

*2022-08-06*

Il manque un ou deux niveaux de difficulté.
Sinon, très bien, merci

### 5/5 — BEST SUDOKU APP

*2022-07-23, version 1.38*

Barely any ads, let’s you keep track of where numbers could be, saves your progress and saves your best time. 10/10

### 4/5 — Great App

*2022-07-07, version 1.38*

My only complaint is the settings switch. It would be so great to be able to switch between the two modes of entry without having to go through Settings.

### 5/5 — My favourite sudoku

*2022-07-02, version 1.38*

I like the colours and design. I don’t mind the numbers on the bottom rows at all and I like how it tells you how many numbers are still missing.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-17, version 1.46*

Yes, I’ve turned my phone off and on again. WTH is going on?

### 1/5 — NOPE.

*2022-08-25, version 1.38*

Cannot STAND the new ads featuring the UGLIEST woman I’ve ever seen.
🤮🤮🤮🤮

### 1/5 — Closter

*2020-12-01, version 1.31*

Prior to upgrade this had been a pleasure to play. No longer. It has been ruined.

### 1/5 — Political ads = delete app

*2020-06-02, version 1.28*

Started getting BS political ads endorsing Trump with lies about achievements. 

One more day - if those ads keep coming the app is gone.

### 1/5 — Few Hard and expert puzzles can’t besolved

*2019-05-29, version 1.23*

I’ve played a lot of sudoku but I reached the end of three puzzles in the hard and expert categories and I’m pretty sure they can’t be solved. The hint returns a message, “everything looks great,” but offers no next move.

### 1/5 — Crash city...

*2017-08-28, version 1.15*

Crashes every 5-10 seconds

### 2/5 — trop de pub

*2024-11-03*

Application gâchée par trop pub entre chaque partie

### 3/5 — Pub

*2026-03-28*

Très pénible les pubs inter jeux

### 3/5 — The ads are ridiculously annoying and LONG

*2025-09-22*

I’m a newbie sudoku player, but so far I really like the format of this app WITH the notable exception of the incredibly annoying ads that show up after EVERY. SINGLE. GAME, with no way (that I can figure out, anyway), to ‘x’ out of them. They last like 2 or 3 min? a STUPID long time. I mean dude, if you want me to purchase your app then at least present me with the option, but you don’t!! Instead you choose to torture your users with ads… I just don’t get it. I’m a hair trigger away from deleting this app & trying another…

### 3/5 — Option Aide à améliorer

*2023-08-09*

Le classement des niveaux de difficulté serait à optimiser. Trop grande différence entre Facile/Moyen. Les niveaux Moyen/Difficile ont-ils été inversés ?
La possibilité de retour arrière non limité est un plus ainsi que l’option vérifier. 
L’aide apportée par l’option Indice devrait apporter une explication plutôt que de donner un numéro dans une case.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-07-21, version 1.46*

Great app! Easy interface

### 5/5 — Upgrade!

*2025-11-05, version 1.45*

Love the upgrade of ads only between games….not DURING the game! Almost lost me!

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2025-05-29*

En plus d’être simple et efficace, il est très astucieux car il permet de poser des hypothèses et aussi un retour en arrière, étape par étape.

### 5/5 — Great format

*2025-03-30, version 1.44*

I like it in this format. I like the referrals to tutorials. I’ve learnt enough to solve fairly quickly at expert level, now. I like the options for playing. Sometimes it’s just good to do it quickly, other times I like working it all out from scratch. This is my favourite Sudoku app.

### 5/5 — Sans pub👍

*2024-09-03*

Très bien et sans pub!

### 5/5 — Toujours aussi intéressant

*2024-05-25*

Et agreable

### 5/5 — The chase!

*2024-01-12, version 1.42*

This is a very enjoyable game. You take chances, you try to strategize, you try to improve your time.  Squares and rows baby!

### 5/5 — Hard is actually hard

*2023-12-26, version 1.41*

A sudoku game with notes and accurate hard, easy and expert rated sudoku puzzles.  My favorite

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-11-23, version 1.41*

I love playing this game instead of working and I play often with my gf 🥰

### 5/5 — Un sudoku de derrière les fagots

*2023-10-27*

Jusqu’ici j’ai essayé les niveaux 1,2 et 3.
Le niveau facile ne l’est pas vraiment.
Les niveaux 2 et 3 sont impeccables.
Que réserve le niveau expert? Sera-t-il à ma portée?
Bref : bravo pour ce sudoku de derrière les fagots!
