Tried others but this is really the most self explanatory workings and great puzzles to solve. ### 2/5 — Same old boards *2026-07-24, version 2.1.2* I like the format and experience of the game but there are only about 20 versions to play… you will feel Deja Vu thinking you have done the puzzle before and you will be correct. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-15, version 2.1.2* Game without too many color variations for distractions. Ads are minimal and non invasive. Had been playing this for years. ### 4/5 — Sudoku *2026-05-31, version 2.1.2* 5 star ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-25, version 2.1.2* Five stars - really addictive ### 5/5 — Best free game *2026-05-25, version 2.1.2* Good free game ### 5/5 — Great to kill time *2026-05-21, version 2.1.2* Love playing this game while I travel on public transport. Like the ‘note’ feature which helps on harder games. Also like the counter for how many games I’ve played and average time taken. It will tell you if you make the wrong move, would like to see if there is a feature to turn that off so I can actually fail instead of coming up red. Apart from that, really nice game ### 5/5 — No Ads *2026-05-21, version 2.1.2* So far this is the only sudoku I’ve found with no ads, although it seems more challenging, which is ok. ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2026-05-08, version 2.1.2* This Sudoko is addictive. I play everyday. ### 5/5 — Sudoku free *2026-05-05, version 2.1.2* Thankful for a game that allows me to use settings that make the game a pleasure. I feel myself relax and my worries fade away as I focus on simple number sequences. Thank you for the free version wo a bunch of adds. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-04-28, version 2.1.2* Love this app and game . Levels are great. Expert is hard wish there was maybe one more level but I can play this endlessly on any level and I still enjoy it ### 5/5 — Best version I have found! *2026-04-23, version 2.1.2* Very useful UI and options. ### 5/5 — The perfect Sudoku *2026-04-09, version 2.1.2* This game rocks ### 5/5 — Best game app *2026-03-19, version 2.1.2* This app doesn’t flood adds or fluff at the user. ### 5/5 — Super clear *2026-03-17, version 2.1.2* Great colors and format so my eyes don’t tire. ### 4/5 — Fun for chilling *2026-03-08, version 2.1.2* Of other sudoku apps this one is smoother ### 5/5 — Very Good Game *2026-03-03, version 2.1.2* Very good game for Seniors to exercise the brain. ### 2/5 — Inappropriate ads *2026-02-28, version 2.1.2* This is a good game, the app works well and I like sodoku, but why are ads for porn sites showing up? This is a game that is rated 4+. Use caution before downloading. ### 5/5 — Favorite for years *2026-02-22, version 2.1.2* This was one of the first apps I ever downloaded. Years later it’s still on my phone, and I play it at least once a week. Easy to use, easy to read, very straightforward. Highly recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m just *2025-01-31, version 2.1.2* Everyone u ### 1/5 — Great program! How does it work? I tapped all of the colored buttons. Dous that mean I winn?’ *2024-07-11, version 2.1.2* Can i change colors? Howcone there are no instructions??! ### 1/5 — Les pubs nous empêchent de jouer *2024-02-26* Depuis quelques jours un pub Google apparaît en bas de page et masque les commandes ### 1/5 — Levels are not consistent *2024-02-11, version 2.1.2* Update 2024/02: the game is getting worse. There are medium levels with 24 pre-filled clues. I have resirted to screenshots of the board to solve the most ridiculous ones. Several require guessing - which should rarely happen in the billions of game combinations. They ask you to pay for more puzzles but not for such a poorly designed and categorized set of boards. Older review I have played this a few years now. The past year it has gotten very inconsistent. Medium levels that have too few clues, too many levels that require a guess to solve them - on Medium and Hard. I will probably look for another game before paying for the paid version of this game. I don't want to pay for a poorly designed game that requires I guess to solve it instead of having the logic be the real test of difficulty. The inconsistency is really frustrating too. ### 1/5 — Ad banner makes it nonfunctional *2022-07-26, version 2.1.2* This used to be a decent Sudoku game. Now it’s useless because the greedy developers slapped an ad banner where the game menu used to be, so you can’t switch note mode on or off, quit a game, or restart a game. I’ve tried everything to try to make the ad go away or to pull up the menu, and nothing works. ### 1/5 — Ce jeu perd tout son intérêt. *2021-11-16* Ce sont toujours les mêmes grilles qui sont proposées depuis plusieurs mois. Plus de renouvellement et en plus leur nombre est limité. ### 1/5 — Pb lié à la publicité *2021-02-05* Depuis quelques jours, le jeu est inutilisable. Les barres de menu en bas sont remplacées par de la pub. Le compteur temps fonctionne toujours et on ne retrouve jamais le menu initial. Il faut répondre à Google.... L’Application va partir à la poubelle, car elle est devenue inutilisable.... ### 1/5 — Really sad to see such blatant money grubbing *2020-12-15, version 2.1* So now, an update labelled as “bug fixes & performance improvements” has basically introduced ads across the bottom of the screen. Nothing very original, but this developer has now focussed so hard on getting ad revenue that —even though I have a large screened iPhone— that key functional buttons are now completely obscured, significantly hampering play. What cavalier indifference to users. ### 1/5 — Pornographic ads?? *2020-03-12, version 2.0* I’ve never had ads in my sudoku app that I recall but suddenly today in the middle of working on a puzzle I was presented with several animated video clips of sex and nude forms. This app will be deleted today. ### 1/5 — Bewertung *2019-12-28* Die verschiedene Spiele wiederholen sich andauernd, wodurch es schnell langweilig wird. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pattern Recognition *2026-09-06, version 2.1.2* This is a great game to build your pattern recognition skills. ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-09-05, version 2.1.2* Very good. easy, medium or hard, well worth the time ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-29, version 2.1.2* Always easy to play a quick game. It’s easy to maneuver and I love the selection of easy to hard, the ability to pause a game, and the colors available. Love this app. ### 5/5 — Favorite Sudoku App *2026-08-28, version 2.1.2* I like this app b/c there are different levels and there aren’t tons of ads like every other game. I can just play the game. ### 5/5 — Best sudoku game *2026-08-22, version 2.1.2* This is the best version 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great for mental health *2026-08-20, version 2.1.2* I love it ### 5/5 — SUDOKU IS: *2026-08-18, version 2.1.2* A GREAT GAME TO PASS THE TIME AND TO KEEP THE MIND WORKING AND LEARNING with speed and accuracy. ### 5/5 — Real sudoku *2026-08-17, version 2.1.2* No ads no trying to sell you something for something that’s free no interruption ### 5/5 — To simplify it *2026-08-06, version 2.1.2* When you play a 7, all 7s already played should light up in a different colour to the error colour ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-04* Macht langfristig Spaß und scheint keine Datenkrake zu sein. 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
