Then I thought I would download and try playing again. It came back to me quickly. Just like riding a bike. I lie this version because it’s not timed. So far so good. I’m still a little rusty but getting better. There is no time limit and I like that very much ### 5/5 — Love sudoku *2024-10-27, version 2.8.1* This is one of the best apps for sudoku ### 5/5 — Great *2024-10-23, version 2.8.1* This is the best game ### 5/5 — Gyuvgu ig *2024-10-14, version 2.8.1* F ho gg I fiiyxfy ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2024-10-11, version 2.8.1* I LOVE this game! It gives you time to figure it, doesn’t hold mistakes against you. It is a great way to learn to play SUDOKU! ### 5/5 — Hooked on Sudoku *2024-09-22* If you are looking for a great way to relax while keeping your mind sharp, you have found it with this app. The traditional format is fun, but I love to play the game using the colors. It is easier to figure out the patterns by using the colors and the colors bring a lift to my day. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I do!! ### 5/5 — Definitely love *2024-09-05, version 2.8.1* It’s my new favorite way to. Wind down after work ### 5/5 — Great fun *2024-08-22, version 2.8.1* This is an awesome game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Free rounds are good but paid rounds are pointless *2025-05-07, version 2.8.1* Paid rounds are not properly categorized and even after selecting the evil level, the extra rounds randomly bring up mixture of easy or medium level puzzles. So it is a waste of time since it should be offering very hard puzzles only. ### 4/5 — Heaven sent *2025-07-18, version 2.8.1* Fun games, helps the brain ### 4/5 — Love it *2024-03-31, version 2.8.1* I like the game a lot. A whole lot of fun and I purchased their biggest package. I’m glad I did 💜💜💜 ### 4/5 — Relaxing *2023-01-03* This game is fun and relaxing ### 4/5 — Interesting alternative to Sudoku *2022-08-13, version 2.8.1* For me, at least, color matching can be done much more quickly than numbers. It’s essentially the same strategy, but Sudoku in double-time. ### 4/5 — Sudoku *2021-10-03, version 2.8.1* Love the game. I encourage others to sign up. It’s great how it prompts you when you’ve made an incorrect entry. Only thing is I don’t understand the function of the checkerboard in each numbered square ### 4/5 — Fun game, great for practicing problem solving *2020-05-02, version 2.7* I play Sudoku to help me practice finding which options are best for different scenarios and problems. It helps me to really think through all options and pick the one that works best ### 4/5 — Plays very well *2019-12-22* This game runs smoothly with no issues. I have been thru three full rounds which have all been easy. I would prefer to cycle thru easy and difficult but this is the way it is. The color option is interesting but takes a bit of time to get used to. The only thing I don’t like is the color that highlights the squares varies at each round of 8 games each (all easy). Last one was light yellow which is very difficult to see. Overall would certainly recommend this version of Sudoku. ### 4/5 — Love the colors—can we please have control *2019-07-07, version 2.7* I have never been able to do sudoku when it was with standard numbers. Never could keep it straight. I found a wooden puzzle that exchanged the numbers with colored markers. Suddenly—it all clicked! I could keep them clearer. I am a big fan of this app—I just wish it would let you choose your own colors. I dislike that dark purple and black look so similar. I wish there was a true red. Honestly, it would be amazing if I could choose them. ### 4/5 — Fun and Easy *2018-10-21, version 2.7* Easy to play with the numbers displayed below. No need to repeatedly scroll through numbers like other games have you do. Nice features: the edit feature, highlight features, etc. 4 stars because I don’t believe it has unlimited games. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clear and straightforward *2026-05-15* This app is clear and straightforward to use. ### 5/5 — User-friendly fun *2026-03-29, version 2.8.1* If you are sudoku fan, you’ll find this game app very enjoyable and easy to play with “pencil notes”. There are various levels of difficulty, as well. ### 5/5 — Best Sudoku App ever! *2026-01-29* I paid the 8 bucks i think for the extra levels and I'm loving it. I usually don't spend money on games but this was already so good since it didn't have ads to begin with so I was willing to support the creator and will probably buy some of the other games if I'm being honest. ### 5/5 — Mybgo to *2025-11-20, version 2.8.1* This is my go to sudoku program. I have tried them all, but kept coming back toSudoku's Round. ### 5/5 — Just Play the Game! *2025-10-26* Love that there are no ads, it just lets me play the game 😉 ### 5/5 — AD FREE! *2025-10-07, version 2.8.1* Sometimes the hardest level doesn’t seem very hard, but otherwise it is a great game. And actually free and more importantly ad free. ### 5/5 — Just such gentle fun! *2025-09-28* Having recently become a sudoku addict, I’ve done my fair share of sudoku apps. Trying to find something that is accessible, inclusive, reliable and enjoyable. This app hits the spot. I’m deleting all the others! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-08-24* I’ve tried a bunch of sudoku apps but I just keep coming back to this one. 10/10 I love it ### 5/5 — Keeps your mind active *2025-08-21, version 2.8.1* My only complaint is the color yellow was difficult to work with. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-18, version 2.8.1* Great game! All the fun of Sudoku but for the math-challenged --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
