HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (781 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.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Too many ads50%

105 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Could not exit ads to continue playing.
★★★★★ The ads pop up numerous times in one game.
★★★★★ Never went for the paid prescription, and didn't mind the ads that popped up after every round.
Crashes and freezes22%

46 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Freezes and constantly asks for money.
★★★★★ Now it freezes constantly after one or two moves, has to be closed and restarted.
★★★★★ Why does the app keep freezing that you have to close and then reopen the app???
Worse after an update15%

31 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Was a great game, but the recent update ruined the visibility of the board
★★★★★ I used to use this app because it offered a good challenge but an update on Ipad ruined the experience: the numbers you add yourself use the same black color as the given starting numbers.
★★★★★ On my iPad, depending on how the window is sized, the “9” button doesn't work! Resizing the window to get a different layout of the number buttons gets it back, but there are window sizes where the “9” doesn't work…
Price and subscription12%

26 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The developer deserved to make money somehow.
★★★★★ After a period of time, it stops allowing you to play without paying for it. In the meantime, it throws up a lot of advertisement roadblocks before you can play. The more you play, the more ad roadblocks. Not free, but…
★★★★★ Freezes and constantly asks for money.
Bugs, things not working7%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I wish it had auto error checking, an option to have all available numerical options auto added or removed for personal preference like a major other company uses that starts with NY.
★★★★★ Prior glitches were always fixed and it just kept chugging along.
★★★★★ On my iPad, depending on how the window is sized, the “9” button doesn't work!
Lost data, sync, backup7%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I deleted it today after years of fun.
★★★★★ Also the stability of the app has gone done the tubes.
★★★★★ Sad to let it go, I finally deleted the app from my phones.
Slow, laggy, battery2%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Your ads are so pervasive I can't even play the game at all, it literally will not let me close the app to play because of your holiday ad screen upon loading
★★★★★ Completely freezes because of all the ads with the timer still running. I'm deleting and downloading a different sudoku app.
★★★★★ Each game crashes at least once or twice, while also having to deal with slow down in the tap response.
Wrong or poor results2%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If the developer was hoping that would encourage me to buy a paid subscription, they were wrong.
★★★★★ This makes the game useless.
★★★★★ But now it's broken and useless.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I wish it had auto error checking, an option to have all available numerical options auto added or removed for personal preference like a major other company uses that starts with NY. 2★, Aug 31, 2026
  • I just wish it was a one time payment to get rid of ads instead of an annual subscription. 5★, Feb 14, 2026
  • If you could get rid of the green and go back to the blue color when selecting a number that would be great. 2★, Feb 10, 2026
  • I wish I didn't have to click through “what's new” every time I come back to the game. 4★, Jan 30, 2026
  • Great app, everything you need and nothing you don't. 5★, Jul 16, 2025
  • I wish there was a second color available for 'pencil' marks… then I could track by rows and columns, not just by squares! 5★, Apr 17, 2024
  • I wish it had a night mode. 4★, Feb 20, 2024
  • But now beware of the updated privacy policy: “When you use the Services, our servers automatically record information that your BROWSER sends whenever you visit a website or application.” There is no good reason for a… 3★, Jul 24, 2023

Fast3%

8 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ My only request to the developers would be to add a fast way (perhaps a button for a third “mode”) to convert squares with a single little blue number to a regular full-sized number.
★★★★★ A quick fix when I'm restless.
★★★★★ If you don't know sudoku you absolutely need to try this app maybe hit google to get the concept but once you understand it it's awesome Iv been working my record fast round from about 3.5 minutes down to now just…
Looks great3%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is by far the best sudoku app out there, both in interface AND in challenge (most apps don't have enough challenging puzzles).
★★★★★ I like how the selected number will highlight and that the preset numbers and filled in numbers have different colors. Good that the numbers grey out when you have finished putting the possible amount. Other sudoku…
★★★★★ Love the clarity and clean look of this sudoku app.

Adds are annoying

I’m playing a nice peaceful quiet game and right in the middle of the game came a loud blast of music very annoying and disturbing to those around me

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Great fun!

Thank you so much for bringing back the blue numbers!

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Addictive!

I really enjoy playing sudoku and this is my go to version. Give it a go you won’t be sorry.

★★★★★Oct 1, 2026
Ads

The ads are terrible. You make it hard to get out of the stupid ads. The game is great but you make it torture to leave the ad mode.

★★★★★Sep 30, 2026
Add

Could not exit ads to continue playing. I would have to close app & reopen to continue. I was patient & would wait for the X in the corner that would never appear.

★★★★★Sep 20, 2026
Simple setup

The game doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. It’s just straight up sudoku for lovers of sudoku.
