HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (9.8 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Wrong or poor results9%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Took me to Safari with a fake Google emblem.
★★★★★ I really don't like that you "update" something that erases all the puzzles I've solved and puts ads where there were none before. No bueno!

Price and subscription6%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The numbers used to stand out in a way that made it visually easy to perceive how the "possibles" related to the "entries." At a glance I could see when an "answer" canceled a "possible." But the new layout makes them…

Too many ads. Stay away!

The ad does not go away. Forces to click on a game. Scammers!

★★★★★Sep 9, 2024
The latest revision ruined it!!!

I LOVED this game. It was WONDERFUL. I gave it five stars! But the latest version absolutely ruined it for me. The new layout appearance makes it unplayable for me. The numbers used to stand out in a way that made it visually easy to perceive how the "possibles" related to the "entries." At a glance I could see when an "answer" canceled a "possible." But the new layout makes them look so similar that my eyes have a hard time seeing what's what. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the old layout appearance. PLEASE! I cannot play the game the way it is now. And there doesn't seem to be any way to revert to the old appearance. One of my very favorite games ruined!

★★★★★Apr 13, 2024
It’s good, but…

If you reset a puzzle, it doesn’t reset the timer for the puzzle. It also penalizes you for being dyslexic because there are two keypads, and you will reach for the wrong keypad and be punished for doing so.

★★★★★Mar 21, 2024
Used to love it

The latest update to version 2.00 changed the graphics from smooth and calming to harsh and contrasty. The highlight for rows and columns nearly washes out cell contents. The markers are so big they all but cover notes in surrounding cells. Unless there comes a way to revert to previous graphics I’ll be playing a different Sudoku elsewhere.

★★★★★Mar 13, 2024
Works great

Best Sudoku game I've ever used! I wish it allowed me to reset the Insane level or allow me to buy more games at that level. Thanks.
