WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Bugs, things not working13%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you touch a five to see where all the fives are the pencil automatically turns off it also doesn't tell you if you've made a mistake so I went through a game for 30 minutes trying to figure out why it's not working…
★★★★★ Four of them glitched and gave conflicting answers in the final blocks.
★★★★★ It also doesn't show if you placed a number wrong; matter of preference I guess but I'd rather know right away that I made an error.
Price and subscription13%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I would really like to get my money back.
★★★★★ I'm sorry I wasted my money on it.
★★★★★ i could not care less if you give refunds maybe its me but i have cancer and neuro encefilitias have a good life i want Mateus wine white in the round bottle for christmas do not call
Too many ads8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ …was a sudoku game that wouldn't keep pestering me with ads.
★★★★★ Wish it gave points or did something when you finally finished it
★★★★★ Compared to other apps with ads, the gameplay here just isn't the same.
Missing features8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There is no option to just enter note mode with a click, make several notes, and then exit note mode with one click.
★★★★★ The top row missing only the number 9, but that column already has a 9.
★★★★★ There is no way to toggle the notes tool off, so it requires a ton of extra clicks.
Wrong or poor results6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Almost no use of color to differentiate states; notes are hard to see and notes I've entered disappear on their own(!); 3x3 grids within the 9x9 are difficult to distinguish; the tiny completion indicator is useless;…
★★★★★ It also doesn't show if you placed a number wrong; matter of preference I guess but I'd rather know right away that I made an error.
★★★★★ I really hate the forced, fake, rating padding that is plaguing the app store.
No customer support6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've asked for a refund but no response
★★★★★ Also your support site is not secured
★★★★★ Furthermore when I attempted to click “help” to get support however it generated a blank screen.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ After buying and trying this app, I deleted it.
Worse after an update3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The latest version of the app added “crosshairs” which highlight the row and column of the selected cell.
★★★★★ I play this regularly and like it a lot UNTIL todays update.

Easy to use21%

★★★★★ I start at Easy and progress through the highest level and then do the level challenge and I start over if I make a mistake.

Overly Needy

I like this game very much. However I find that you are a bit needy in that you need constant encouragement that you are doing ok. Please reduce the frequency of requests to rate the game.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
Best sudoku app

It’s worth it because there are no ads. Pleasant layout/colors. Multiple skill levels and simply enjoyable.

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Much better than free Sudoku

I was using the free Sudoku app for a while and finally got tired of being interrupted in the middle of games. Paying for this was so worth it and the game plays just like any regular Sudoku with difficulty levels, no other nonsense distraction! Love it!!!

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
The best!

My all time fav passtime! Switch phone on dnd and play !

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Confusing switch from notes mode

Often when in notes mode you click on a square and notes mode randomly turns off. Frustrating!

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026
Sudoku Queen

LOVE not having annoying ads. Well worth the few bucks if you’re an avid sudoku player. I also enjoy that there’s no penalty for making a wrong move. However, I do wish they had some sort of “hints” option to help me increase my knowledge of different strategies as the puzzles get harder.
