ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super Mega Sudoku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket8 has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Super Mega Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pocket8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Super Mega Sudoku ships an update every 18 months, Pocket8 daily. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
