Sudoku - Brain Puzzle Games for Negative User Reviews
✓ Beware-Play a Different App!This game is really great! Got me hooked, made me feel competitive, trying to improve my score and challenge myself. Then the ad monsters started interfering IN MY GAMES!!! My it’s that my iPhone can’t handle the game and the ads at the same time, I don’t know. I just know that my screen-game-will freeze and will respond to no input but the ad keeps running at the bottom of my screen, and then 30 seconds later, my screen jumps to lifeAND TIME jumps ahead! Now it’s doing it over and over to the point I give up. I can’t compete against my time if my time is messed up by ads constantly!!! I don’t mind between games but not during games and blowing my speed..Version: 3.67.3
✓ So many ads!!!There is an ad every time you complete a sudoku. Puzzles are suppose to be peaceful!! Watching pop up ads every 5 minutes is not peaceful.!!! “Oh why don’t you just buy sudoku books?? 🥸” that defeats the whole purpose of an online puzzle!!! Ads had ruined mobile games!!!.Version: 4.13.0
✓ 广告太多了本来挺好的app但是超级多广告，基本每一局结束都要有广告，真的很烦！ 而且不是那种出现之后马上点一下就没有的广告，而是必须看至少30秒之后才能点。.Version: 3.13.0
✓ MORE MODESYou need to add more modes to the game 1 of them being that it does not matter about how much mistakes you have..Version: 4.13.1
✓ GlitchesYes there are an insane amount of ads - at the start and end of every game and sometimes mid game -but even worse is how glitchy the game is, at least on the battle games. If you win a game, then the ad at the end of the game glitches/freezes (which is often), then it’s marked as a loss. If you start a game and the opening ad freezes, it’s also a loss. Often the battle game starts, then an ad will play, giving your opponent a 30 second head start (if the ad doesn’t freeze, marking the game as a loss). Finally, about one in three games will just freeze on and off all the way through. Really do not recommend this one!.Version: 3.66.0
✓ FreezeGame keep going on freeze and never get to finish it.Version: 3.64.0
✓ Add bugOnce the timed add is over an add to download a game pops up and never times out, no exit ever shows up. I’ve had to exit and restart the game to clear it..Version: 4.12.0
✓ Unhelpful super hintsWhen you request a “super hint,” this app will fill in all the possible pencil marks and then tell you about the locked candidates and hidden pairs that you had already accounted for before it filled in the pencil marks over your own work. Very annoying..Version: 4.15.0
✓ Have to uninstallThe amount of adds has gotten out of control. I’ve been thinking about uninstalling and getting a new app because they’ve been getting bad but I have so much data saved on this one I didn’t want to. I have to now because I can’t even play the game without it taking me to the App Store MID GAME. I don’t click on the bottom banner add or anything. I will be trying to type in the squares and it will take me away. I’ve literally never written a review before but this is so ridiculous I just had to. I wish I could give zero stars because it’s honestly a terrible app now..Version: 3.55.1
✓ Ridiculous amount of adsI had been following the poor reviews due to the number of ads while you are trying to play, and it was interesting to see those reviews had been removed. I had been paying this game for over a year, but slowly the number and length of ads has increased dramatically and I stopped playing. I keep checking back to see if things have improved, but sadly it hasn’t. I understand the revenue needs of the developers but when the length of the ad stream between games is a minimum of 4 times longer then the time playing, it is out of control. I will keep checking back as I enjoy the game.Version: 3.61.0
✓ Remove the ads, speed up the gameThis is the best and worst Sudoku app I’ve found. The features of the games are great with the daily challenges, theme challenges and battles (except the obvious bots). However, the amount of ads on the app slow down the performance of my iPad, which happens to be a brand new, 9th Generation iPad that I purchased directly from Apple. The app slows down the ENTIRE functionality of my iPad to the point where I have to either restart the device, or sometimes do a factory reset. It’s obnoxious and has almost completely taken away my enjoyment of this app/game. If I still play, it’s obviously due to the fact that I like to cause myself annoyance and frustration..Version: 3.63.0
✓ AdsWay to many of the above mentioned, especially of some body on tic tok.Version: 4.18.2
✓ Notes function broken and annoyingIf you have on the setting that allows you to put in notes manually (without auto-removing wrong notes), then when you put in a new number it doesn’t allow you to remove the now-wrong notes. If I put in a 4 and another cell in that row had 1234 in the notes, it doesn’t let me remove the 4 from the notes in that cell. Also, it doesn’t let you make mistakes ever, which I find annoying..Version: 4.7.0
✓ AdvertisingCan only play one game then adverts.Version: 4.18.0
✓ Too many ads and hints don’t work well 😢Wayyy too many ads and some of them I have to close out of three or more times, while others will take me directly to the App Store when I try to close out of it (which should NOT be allowed at all). Sometimes the hints won’t work at all. I like being able to use hints to help me learn, but if I’ve filled in my own numbers using the pencil and I’m able to eliminate some of the numbers, it’ll automatically add in those numbers I’ve been able to eliminate! This makes me have to do the work all over again! It’s soooo frustrating. I tried to contact support, but it just kept loading….Version: 4.13.1
✓ Gone and lagIt’s been crashing since yesterday and now with the update, the daily task is gone. Lags after ads..Version: 4.10.0
✓ AdsI hate that there are ads!.Version: 4.9.1
✓ Add placementLove the game, I can work whit the number of adds in it even if this is a lot, like any other game. But the fact that the add is place right on the button and you have NO other choice then watch the add is not ok..Version: 4.12.0
✓ I’ve Gone mAD!I have played this app for years, but I’m uninstalling it. The amount of ads are absolutely insane. I can play a game in a couple of minutes and then have 3 minutes of ads. You guys have completely lost your minds if you think this is acceptable. There are plenty of other apps out there I am now using. Sure, they have ads, but they’re at the bottom of the game board and don’t interfere with the play at all. But, as with most developers, I’m sure you don’t care at all about what we think. I’ve read many of the same complaints with no response whatsoever, and no change in your behavior. And I don’t want to hear “it’s free, deal with it.” That is unacceptable too. Bye now!.Version: 3.61.0
✓ Too many adsWay too many ads. Hard to enjoy even one game..Version: 3.55.4
✓ Deceitful, scam of a gameThe app draws you in with clever gameplay and clean puzzles. However, watch out for day 3 of playing because you are about to get crushed by a tsunami of ads; the kind you can’t just skip or ignore because they require interaction at numerous steps along the way to progress back to the game, where suddenly in-game ads are now clogging the bottom of my screen where they had never been before. Upon investigating options to pay to remove ads the first “subscription” offer is 1 week! For $2!!! With a 1 year also available if you search, costing just $16. These game developers are scammers preying on people, don’t download this app and waste your time like I did..Version: 4.7.0
✓ Get pop ups saying I’m hackedUsing this it keeps telling me I’ve been hacked.Version: 4.4.0
✓ 1-2 MINUTES PLAY, 5 MINUTES OF ADS, ADS, ADS, ADSI get that sudoku gets money when you click on ads and hopefully subscribe to something but holy crud! By the time I get through the ads I’m not relaxed anymore and I’m all stressed out because I have to wait for stupid ads to drain my battery on my phone and aggravate me which defeats the reason for doing puzzles. Before I play start the game there’s ads, at the end of the game there’s ads, and if I win then I’ll get 3 times the “rewards” (which you get nothing) if, you guessed it….I WATCH MORE ADS!!!!! It’s just ad after ad after ad in between a few seconds to a minute to do the puzzle. I’m done! I’m buying puzzle books. I’m already done with television, media and ads, about ready to get a flip phone so no ads! Everything‘s about making a dollar but my time is worth more than your dollar. Ads are everywhere and soon we’re going to rent out our kids and paste ads on their freaking foreheads! I’m done … anything that has an ad I’m not owning!.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Great game but ads playing while opponent gets head startThis is a problem when you are level 80 plus as games are won and lost by seconds I don’t mind watching ads but please make them finish before starting the round in battle mode.Version: 3.56.0
✓ Great design but app is a scamI love sudoku but it is a scam please read: Their timed events are the best part about the app. You get to see how high you rank based on each level you pass. The numbers of players are NOT accurate. They are fake numbers which makes me not want to play at all. We do not know how many people are actually playing. Here is how I know: Before the game was starting in my time zone I changed the time in my settings to see how many players already started based off of different countries and time differences. I went to this app and the event said the amount of participants were around 20,000 then later in the day I did it again to see how many now and it was less than 8,000 total participants. Please explain this? Why would there be less people over time if the amount of people playing can only go up? This is in addition to the horrific amount of ads. This is just disappointing. They need to understand what the users like and need in an app and listen to them AND CHANGE. As someone who works in user experience you NEED to listen to all these reviews and make it a more genuine app. There’s a reason candy crush was so big, they were one of the few gaming apps that truly listened to what their users need and in turn users trusted the app. Be honest to your users. It’s a shame what people will do for money and with 0 integrity..Version: 4.18.2
✓ All of a sudden a long ad plays after each gameI added this app to enjoy the game and for the first 4 days, it was quite enjoyable. All of a sudden today, the game was changed slightly and insufferably long ads for other apps started playing after each game. These ads cannot be stopped if they are of no interest and must be allowed to play. Even when the time of the ad (usually 30-60 seconds) is finished, the ad doesn’t go away unless you search for the well hidden exit button!.Version: 4.16.0
✓ Can barely play sudokuI loved this app. Everyday would play it and didnt really mind the ads. But now it’s unbearable. In the time I would get three or four quick games in, I now spend trying to close the app store, wait for even longer ads, and now the app itself wants me to earn points and stars, keeps showing me popups for things I dont want nor care about. I just want to play sudoku. I have collected 64 pencils and 28 hints, without watching the ads for extras. I dont use those features. The time involved just “collecting” useless features is so stupid. So now for every three to four games I used to play, I can barely get one game in. Have deleted this app and will now go purchase a sudoku app and give my money to your competitors..Version: 3.52.0
✓ Sudopub!Guys there is too much pub in your game! Come on ! Pub to press pause in the game… Happily uninstalled.Version: 4.15.0
✓ The game is ok but the ads are nutsThe ads can wake the dead because they are so loud and some of them hide the closing option so nifty within graphics that is is almost impossible to see. THAT is annoying and I uninstalled it. The price to get rid of the ads is also nuts for a simple Sudoku game..Version: 4.6.0
✓ Okay sudoku app, but why does it paste?Interface is pretty good for a mobile sudoku app. Will display ads mid game if you switch back and forth to other apps. I don't see most of the ads people complain about because I have a pi-hole at home and refuse cellular service to this app, just other games from the same company from time to time. Weirdest thing is that if I have something in my clipboard when I load the app, it pastes it. There's no keyboard interface at all. Where are you pasting and why? What do you do with the information you paste? Better be sure not to have your password or any sensitive URL in your clipboard when you go to play sudoku.....Version: 4.13.1
✓ Invasive ad-wareAfter every single game, you have to sit through a 60 second ad just to get another puzzle. And the only way to get rid of ads is with a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription. I would be happy to pay a reasonable one-time fee for an ad-free experience. I also wouldn’t mind sitting through shorter, less intrusive ads, but since there are no other options, I’m deleting this app in favor of another..Version: 4.16.0
✓ Stealing your clipboard dataI now receive warnings about the app wanting to copy whatever is in my clipboard. It has no need for this data and should be removed from the App Store..Version: 4.17.0
✓ CarolynI enjoy Sudoku but I do find these a bit too easy. Having said that the App is excellent..Version: 4.17.0
✓ BattlesThe battle mechanic are bad and it’s so obvious that sometimes if not all the of the time your playing against bots, how can I be up by 10 in a battle and the opponents makes a comeback in 20 seconds?.Version: 3.66.0
✓ Impossible de joindre le développeurJ’ai des problèmes avec l’application malgré mon abonnement payant. Le contact mail du développeur e fonctionne pas..Version: 4.13.1
✓ Developers please make it betterIt has ridiculous modes that don’t make any sense like how shockwaves in ice mode didn’t break the ice. Battles are way to hard, don’t know if it’s adaptable or not. If it is, developers have overdid it, making the battles either too hard or easy. I have battled two times and it is at a level where I have to guess numbers in order to even have a chance to win. 16x16 isn’t even sudoku anymore, this game makes sudoku look trash. Special modes like killer and ice also isn’t sudoku so they shouldn’t even be part of the game! I’m very disappointed, think you should make it more simple for it to be traditional sudoku, the way it should be. Also, events doesn’t even do me any good. Another thing is you shouldn’t remind everyone if they make a mistake. If you do this, it will engage people to guess more, which shouldn’t be the way sudoku is played. Hints and other cheats loses meaning to sudoku and shouldn’t even be a thing. PLEASE just make this game a lot more like sudoku instead of making it a complete stranger to sudoku community..Version: 4.13.0
✓ Way too many adsThere is a constant ad on the bottom of the screen, as well as ads in between new puzzles. If you make 3 mistakes, you have to watch an unskipable ad before you can try again. Some of the ads on the bottom of the puzzle are animated, which is a huge trigger for vertigo and migraines, in my case. I also wish you could choose to hide the timer and change the color of the board, such as a dark mode. I love the daily challenges, though. ALSO bug that makes the app quit after you watch ads. Makes it impossible to play. Please fix..Version: 3.34.0
✓ MalwareIt has false malware attached to the app, sends you to a website that says “your device has been infected” don’t trust the website it sends you to or the app.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Ne fonctionne pasAbonnement payant ne fonctionne pas. Sauf pour charger les frais de ta carte de crédit. Impossibilité de rejoindre le développeur . Le courriel ne fonctionne pas..Version: 4.13.1
✓ What are you doing?!?!?I have enjoyed this game up until this past week- I will click to start a game, and right when the game is about to start, it turns into a 30-second ad, meaning I lose, or I will be in the middle of a battle (where you play against others live) and in the middle of the game- it will break to a 30-second ad (meaning I lose). I am very competitive- and watch my stats. This practice of hijacking my games has made me look for another sudoku app. Unfortunate. I really enjoyed your app….Version: 4.18.2
✓ Stealing infoThe app and the game are great but everyritme I open the app it asks if I wanna paste whatever I had previously copied. It also randomly asks me that when the app isnt even open..Version: 4.18.1
✓ Good app, but so many addsWay too many adds on the free version, I’m removing this app..Version: 3.67.3
✓ App tried to read my clipboard at an inappropriate timeDisappointed as it can be a fun game.Version: 4.13.1
✓ Played a lot but you penny pinch.Penny pinching, i loved the game until after every single round im stuck watching an ad. I win one and go to the next round… ad. I go multiplayer, win or lose, doesn’t matter… ad. I close out to text someone and come back in to return to the game and guess what.. ad. There’s plenty of phone app games i do not play anymore due to the same issue. Im adding this to the list. Also, it seems you don’t have a problem with our complaints about this and probably added more adds since the “favorite review” expressed the same issues and it was 2 YEARS AGO..Version: 4.18.2
✓ SodukuThis game is so easy. Shut up..Version: 4.15.0
✓ Constantly lags & looses inputsConstantly lags & looses inputs..Version: 3.67.0
✓ Used to be Great, now a rip off for subscribers!!This was my favorite game app, then greedy developers changed it so that even paying subscribers like myself have to watch endless videos of terrible game advertisements we aren't interested in. For awhile paying subscribers got less ads (I did for a few months but not anymore). Paying subscriptions were supposed to get get less ads -- if any, now I get more than ever! . Even free versions are getting worse. Can't complain to anyone except here on a review as link to developers is a Chinese AI website. Cancelled!.Version: 4.16.0
✓ Grab the iPad the wrong way or accidentally touch a number and you get a strikeI just learned sudoku. If you happen to touch the screen or iPad the wrong way, you find yourself making an “ERROR”, I then tried to use the Pencil. I wanted to “mark” the page to help remember steps, and again, if you touch the screen wrong, it posts a number, and yup, ANOTHER “ERROR”. I get close to where the game falls in to place, and lose, because of this? Gonna look for a more user friendly game. As well, I should NOT have to watch ads just to get a “second chance”. This means that the percentages are NOT accurate, depending on who is willing to watch GARBAGE, just to get a second try. Stupid..Version: 4.13.2
✓ Too many adsImpossible to play Sudoku in peace with ads popping up every 60 seconds..Version: 4.18.2
✓ IQThe ad seems to relate sudoku to IQ, but when you play the game IQ never gets a mention. Misleading advertising....Version: 3.45.3
✓ Too many adsI understand they need revenue from it on the free version but come on it’s the same crap over and over again for awful games that have awful ratings too. Too many ads, ruins game experience..Version: 4.17.0
✓ Amazing app turned unplayableThis app used to be my absolute favorite. Easy to use, minimal ads, a wide variety of sudoku to choose from. I could easily sink an hour into it minimum! Honestly, this sudoku app was my escape during online grad school. Over the past few updates, however, the app has become virtually unplayable. Pausing a game triggers a three-layered ad. Starting a game triggers an ad. The ads lag my phone and often direct me to the App Store against my wishes. I didn’t know that sudoku of all games could lag, but it actually lags when I am switching boxes or selecting numbers! Sadly I will have to leave this app behind to find one that is both playable and that doesn’t make my phone chug..Version: 3.59.1
✓ Tired of adsThis game supposed to be focus mind, but always pops out the advertising.Version: 4.16.0
✓ Far too many adsThe game is a lot of fun, but there are ads after each game and sometimes you have to watch two ads before a game can be played. Sometimes I watch and sometimes I just stop playing. An improvement would be to allow for a few games to play before an ad runs, or make an event award some time-limited ad-free game play..Version: 3.66.0
✓ Ads GridlockedAll I can say about this game is that it has the potential to really be a great game if it weren’t for their annoying disrespectful advertising. You are forced to watch the ads no matter what you do…even if you click ‘done’ it still loops your right back to the ad! And they are very frequent which makes it all that more annoying. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game sometimes. I really enjoyed the game but I am definitely deleting it. Just not worth the headache of watching the same ads over and over again every few minutes..Version: 4.15.0
✓ Battle needs a changeAll in all it’s a good app. I like the auto pencil on expert to save me 10 minutes of doing it myself. However, the new “battle” is very poorly executed. 1.) you are not both playing the same puzzle. 2.) you are not even both playing the same difficulty of puzzle. I just played one where I counted my empty squares at 51, and the opponent finished by filling out 31. At least make us both play a hard level, or both play an easy level..Version: 3.42.1
✓ Good UI but…Few major issues: - $2 per week to get rid of annoying ads??? (At least 2 per game) - seriously drains battery (10%+ per hour) - spies on you in all possible ways - e.g. tries to access clipboard all the time.Version: 4.15.0
✓ Ads, so many adsAds before games, ads after games..Version: 3.50.0
✓ Subscribe to get rid of ads???Look the app is great…. IF and only if you play with wifi and data off. I only play it on planes when I’m on airplane mode because the amount of ads is so irritating that playing one game is all I can convince myself to sit through. This would be sort of forgivable (considering all the sudoku apps seem to be just as bad) if I could just pay once for an upgrade like some of them… I looked and they want you to subscribe to weekly, monthly, or annual payments in order to get rid of ads. Sad - it seems like there aren’t any good apps.Version: 4.18.2
✓ Daily rewardsI loved the daily rewards and that was the reason I would play for hours to collect everything. I like the battling but unfortunately I get to level 100 within an hour so it makes no sense for me to keep playing BUT THE DAILY REWARDS MADE ME KEEP PLAYING!!!!!!.Version: 4.10.0
✓ Purchasing meant no ads…unfortunately that’s not true..I love Suduko and enjoyed your app but was frustrated with all the ads I had to watch so I decided to actually purchase this game so I could play ad free. I thought the ads were gone until I started playing the battles and once you reach a certain level, you have to have “tickets” to play. If you do t want to purchase them then you have to WATCH An AD!! This makes me want to no longer use this app, recommend or renew the purchase. Purchasing meant no ads so I shouldn’t have to waste time watching them..Version: 3.66.0
✓ FrozenI was able to get pass an advertisement screen yesterday, it just froze. Tried many time during the day. It was a little annoying, as I teacher my 5 yrs old, how it works..Version: 3.56.0
✓ Fun but annoyingIt’s a fun game to play with nice features, but, there is way too many ads. I get they have to make money but it’s crazy. Even if you switch to a different app, say your messages, to reply to a text and then go back to the game not even a minute later, another ad. It just gets annoying having to watch all these ads for a 2 minute game of sudoku. So I mostly use this app when I’m waiting in line somewhere. 🤷🏼♀️.Version: 3.67.3
✓ MmhhhI mean it is sudoku and the graphics are great but I hate how you can only make 3 mistakes then have to restart. It’s kinda frustrating..Version: 3.46.4
✓ OK but too many adsNice app spoilt by tedious ads. Ok for some ads but come on, more ads that the game!.Version: 3.55.4
✓ BewareInnocent looking app attempting to steal your data. When logging in it attempts to capture whatever is on your clipboard.Version: 4.17.0
✓ Sudoku reviewI am an avid user of this app. It was working great until there was recently a major redo of the way the screen was setup. I really disliked the changes that were made, but have since adjusted. But this new version frequently freezes my screen and does an odd rollover when starting. Also, you used to be able to run your finger over 2 or more numbers to add to a box, in notes, and now you can’t any longer. I would have given the old version 5 stars..Version: 4.13.2
✓ Too many adsApp deleted. Too many adverts taking too long and wasting my time.Version: 4.18.2
✓ Good but far too many adsReally impossible to enjoy this thoroughly due to the insane amount of ads. I don’t see an option to buy a non-ad version either..Version: 3.58.0
✓ ReviewToo many adverts.Version: 3.51.1
