Dear Sudoku Users,
We’re excited to share our new update with you! We hope you enjoy it.
Fixed minor bugs.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you happen to any bug, thanks for choosing Sudoku.
Some ads have a volume icon to mute sounds but the 'screw puzzle' ads have a stupid high pitched noise that hurts my head! You should consider 'neurodivergent' players that have triggers such as certain noises and who need to be able to mute sounds completely when they pop up. That ad is not able to be clicked through right away and I just can NOT listen to that sound! I have to close the app to avoid it each time and it seems to be playing more often than before. I like the game but this problem might be what chases me away. I understand that ads pay the bills, but the sound effects are not vital to ads and could be mutable. When an ad has such problems, it defeats the purpose of being shown, as I can't even watch it. I've got sound turned off in the game settings but I can not silence my device entirely because I need to hear incoming messages for my on call job. PLEASE make it so things can be FULLY muted - more than ten minutes after playing and I still have that noise ringing in my head...🤨
The game itself is great. There’s a daily challenge plus a tournament style competition. There’s a handy note feature and even hints. The Bad: The amount of ads and the length of them are crazy. Before and after each game and sometimes two or three minutes long. I have also been experiencing frequent freezing lately. There is no way I’m paying $8 a month for ad free because that is ridiculous. I can’t even play a quick game when I have a few free minutes because of how long the ads are.
Sad to say, this app has way too many ads in the free version and they aren't all safe ads as other reviewers have mentioned. I enjoyed the game while I had a paid subscription because the various competitions and solving options made the app interesting to come back to day after day. However, as soon as that expired, the app felt impossible to use. The biggest drawback beyond the ads is there is no mechanism to get better at sodoku. The hints just fill in a number instead of letting you know what technique you should have used to get the answer. For that and the other reasons, I might as well just pay for apple arcade and play the much better sodoku app that is available there.
This is a good app because it has a lot of variety of game modes including samurai but there are a lot of ads and the competitive mode which is my favorite is just playing against fake players. I wish it was actually playing against other real players and that there was a real ranking system. It would be cool to be able to fight for a spot on a leaderboard. Also the leagues reset every week which is way too quick for having to get 30 wins to get gold. Also would love to see more game modes like killer sudoku
I love this app. I really do. I was a level 100 sudoku samurai master, I got a bunch of postcards and won a bunch of races. Then I’m the last couple of weeks, this ad has started popping up that opens a web browser with a scan and antivirus type ad. I delete those from spam mail, I’m certainly not going to tolerate them from a voluntary app. I’ve deleted the game until I’m sure they’ve fixed the issue. Without that, this game is 5 stars for me. With the ad, don’t bother installing.
This game has an ad for literally every game. AND for when you complete a game. So when you play a 3-5min expert level game, you end up watching ads for about 20-25% of the time you are on this app. The game design and levels are good though. Side note, you can play competitive mode but there is absolutely no way you’re playing live against others. You ALWAYS win or lose by 1-2 points at the final second of the game.
Look, I have been playing this game for about a year now, but since November, the game will freeze my phone and I would have to turn off my phone to get the screen to work, and I would have to close out of the app and reopen it again because the game would be flickering. I’m letting you guys know about this because it crashed out on me 2 minutes into the game, I did the same thing as above, and it crashed again a minute later. Can you please fix this? I would greatly appreciate it.
Great game. This seems to be the best sudoku layout I have seen so far. BUT…there is a malware ad every few minutes. Previous reviews mention this and also an update that supposedly fixed this in July, but it’s Aug 4th and the ad is still there. Please get rid of the malware! Update: Aug 7th I received a response that they are working on the problem. Hopefully it gets resolved soon because like I said, this is the best Sudoku I’ve played!
