Review summary

Overall, users love the challenging Sudoku and feature-rich experience, including hints, notes, daily challenges, and tournaments. However, widespread complaints about intrusive ads, frequent crashes/freezes, and reduced rewards from the point system significantly detract from the experience, with many noting slow progression. The core puzzle remains appealing, but reliability and monetization frustrations drive negative sentiment.

Rich feature set including hints, notes, daily challenges, and tournaments.
Fun and addictive for fans of number puzzles.
Strong core gameplay with generally positive sentiment across reviews.

Cons

Ads are intrusive and frequent, interrupting gameplay, including mid-game interruptions.
Frequent crashes, freezes, and overall performance issues across devices.
Changes to point values reduce rewards and hurt progression, affecting tournaments.
Progression feels slow, requiring many games to reach the next levels.

2026-06-08	Pa*****	This was the very best Sudoku, with many versions and varieties to play. They completely revamped the app recently. I literally hate it. Although this is one of the few sudoku games that has 16 x 16 games, which I love, I ended up deleting the app, which I had played for years. When it wasn’t broke, they shouldn’t have fixed it.

2026-02-25	Ta*****	I took the ad at its word, No Annoying Ads. Well ten games later, boom, Ads, lots of ads, I guess they don’t consider their ads annoying. Well, I do, so I deleted it. If it was up to me I wouldn’t even give this a one rating as it’s not worth it.
