I never do games, but this is a great quick diversion. The only one I’ve played or downloaded! ### 5/5 — Love doing sudoku in color! *2023-01-03* Just numbers gets boring. ### 3/5 — Vivid Sudoku *2019-04-12* I love many features of this game, but it has one flaw that almost ruins it for me. There is not a clear enough border between the various 9 space blocks. To play the game with speed, you need to be able to quickly determine that each of the numbers from 1-9 is represented in each block. That's difficult when it's not blatantly clear where the blocks start and end. **Developer response:** Great idea! I agreed and made a change in the latest update, so that the boxes are much easier to tell apart at a glance. Thanks and if you see this please update your review :) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-11-18* I could play this game forever. I don't know why I never get bored!
