### 1/5 — Irritated

*2026-06-09, version 1.2.4*

This all asks for a review after every game even though I’ve already posted a review.  Every. Single. Game.

### 4/5 — No Tracking!

*2026-05-23, version 1.2.4*

Thank you for no data linking.  It always seemed stupid to me that Sudoku would need my identifiers and location.  It’s just Sudoku, it’s not my bank app or anything else that actually reasonably needs that sort of thing.

Some color variants might be nice.  Something with red.

I’m also sad that the daily challenge won’t work without notifications, but I guess I just won’t do the daily challenge.

4/5!

### 3/5 — Sudoku

*2026-05-09, version 1.2.4*

This is my favorite game but, I bought the no adds and still get adds. I tried to repay for it and it won’t go through.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-20, version 1.2.4*

I wanted to play the daily game, but it will only load if I have notifications on. I don't want to receive all of the spam I am sure they will send. Deleted the game and will never get another product from this company.

### 4/5 — Every time I try to buy the app it crashes

*2022-09-23, version 1.2.4*

I’m trying to pay up get rid of ads but every time I hit the button the app freezes. Let me give you my money ugh

### 5/5 — Minor modifications = Major Improvements

*2022-04-29, version 1.2.4*

Two proposed modifications:

(1)  When I press a large number to highlight pencil marks, leave the pencil marks highlighted 'till I press the number or a pencil mark again.  Allows me to study the situation better.

(2)  Allow me to insert my own sudoku puzzle an use the existing capabilities that are afforded.

### 4/5 — -

*2022-03-04, version 1.2.4*

good

### 5/5 — Best of the Sudoku apps

*2022-01-30, version 1.2.4*

Have tried them all. This is my favorite. By far actually.

### 1/5 — You gotta be kidding me!

*2021-06-07, version 1.2.4*

I was enjoying the ease of play although the game seems to be stuck on a fairly narrow set of layouts. All was fine until I made 3 fat-finger errors. The game tried to punish me by making me submit to watching an ad before I could continue. Delete App was a lot quicker and cleaner. There are enough punishments in this world today. I don’t need one in my relaxation time.

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра

*2021-05-02*

Удобная игра в судоку. Увы, не получается купить платную версию. Ни на ipad ни на iphone 8 (стоят последние ios на текущий момент). Игра просто зависает после клика на кнопку «Купить за...»
