It wanted me to click "ok" and perform a clean-up. I researched before I clicked and advised it was malware. 😒 ### 3/5 — There is adds *2026-02-07, version 5.39* You say no adds but there is quite a few. All for other games to download ### 2/5 — X *2024-10-27, version 5.39* Crashes too often. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2024-02-27, version 5.39* App crashes as soon as I get near the end of my game. Really expected better since I play and love MouseHunt, but I guess maybe there aren’t enough devs to keep up with all the games. lol As long as MH stays good, I will find another sudoku app. :) ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2023-11-26, version 5.39* I love this game.

I like that because sometimes I am in the mood for a challenge but sometimes I want a fine easy game. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-11-08, version 5.39* Fun ### 2/5 — Fun game, too many ads *2023-04-24, version 5.39* Forced updatmakes it full of ads ### 5/5 — Beginner at Soduko and this has been the best app I have found to help learning the game *2023-04-18, version 5.39* Progress at your own speed makes it ideal for me….. ### 3/5 — Forced me to write this review *2023-04-13, version 5.39* It won’t stop prompting me to review the game. It’s a good version of sudoku, only costs 99 cents to remove ads, doesn’t require a subscription. The only problem is the continuous prompting to leave a review. ### 3/5 — Game dissolves *2023-04-03, version 5.39* In the middle of game play, games just goes away and goes back to phone screen ### 4/5 — Little glitchy *2023-01-26, version 5.39* Would have given 5 stars, but, every couple of minutes the game closes itself.
