HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (20 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.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

I have more hours on this than I do on some actual AAA games. and I haven't even finished with all the free levels yet. its a great sum-sudoku app.

★★★★★Sep 19, 2026

Had this game for years. It's still the game I obsessive play the most. Simply cannot put it down. Ever. Update 19/09/2026: Aaaand here I am downloading it again for the howmanieth time. Case in point!!!

★★★★★Aug 25, 2026

It's a good game but the choice of background colors makes it harder to solve.

★★★★★Aug 9, 2026

I Like Sudoku

★★★★★Jul 30, 2026

almost perfect but I ended up uninstalling it bc it doesn't have a setting for instant error notifications. I'm messy when entering and if I don't notice right away, I'm having to hit undo 422 times to clear an error. I prefer it tell me in the moment because having to undo a ton over a typo demotivates me to solve the thing. Add the setting, perfect app. ETA: ok and I ignore spoilers and solve as usual.clear errors is still undoing a ton. I like an app that lets me decide. So I downloaded one.

★★★★★May 15, 2026

Best Sudoku with sums (KillerSudoku). Some really hard puzzles esp. the Killer pack I purchased to support the app. The only improvement I could suggest is UX to highlight a number. Sometimes you need to press the number cell once, sometimes twice in some cases even 3 times.
