Microsoft Sudoku for Negative User Reviews
✓ Pretty good but let down by no landscape mode support in iPadOSPretty good implementation but why no landscape support in iPadOS like the Solitaire game by MICROSOFT has? Please add then review will go to 5 stars. 🙂.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Microsoft sudukoGood game but I’ve paid for 1 years subscription not to get ads but every time I start anew I get ads. Please fix or I won’t be renewing at end of my contract.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Good, but why is it pasting from the clipboard?A good implementation, the irregular puzzles are good for a quick game. One serious problem, I’ve noticed that you get a paste notification in iOS14. There’s no reason for the app to be accessing the clipboard, particularly *pasting* - a security/privacy no-no. I’m sure it’s an oversight that’ll be fixed quickly, eh?.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ What has happened?Since the latest update the app has suddenly failed to correctly update my latest scores. Apparently I now have to score 999,999 points to get a diamond award every month! Sort this out MS..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Far too many ads for other gamesI don’t mind the ads in other games, but there are far too many in this game. Good Microsoft software, spoilt by “download this game” ads. Will be looking elsewhere for something to play.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Old eyesI played one game at the grandmaster level, which wasn’t very difficult. Hopefully they would get more difficult. The biggest problem and I would never subscribe to the app. For one reason I can barely see the numbers let alone the notes and none of the views change that..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ It won’t load upI have tried a number of times to open it and it no longer opens.Version: 1.0
✓ Too many long adsI get it that you want people to buy the ad free version but give us a break on the Royal Match ads. In fact, Royal Match is the only ad that plays on this game. Literally a long Royal Match ad between every puzzle makes this Soduko almost unplayable. Not only that, but these ads also freeze the app requiring to close the app and reopen. Other than that, this is a great Soduko game. I just wish I didn’t have to find another that isn’t so annoying on the ad piece..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Microsoft Casual games Sudoku daily challengeI have been playing this game set for a long time, but recently I get the RoyalKingdom ad that just freezes and then repeats until the next freeze point, trying to find a way to report the problem which I have not been able to find. When the games work they are great fun.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ No subs pleaseLet me pay you once to get rid of ads… I’m not subscribing to another thing..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Noisy and intrusive ads.Ads run for 30 seconds..Version: 2.4.4261
✓ Login to Live Account breaks this appI’ve been playing as Guest -Level 42! Then app says to login to your Microsoft account. So I did. It find my MS account then starts the app at the tutorial! And the tutorial is broken! It wants you to complete the row which I do but it’s completely frozen. Only way to get out is to delete the app. Bye bye to my 42 levels! Impossible to get support. Lost in the Xbox live circular references to help. So unhappy. But great gameplay love the challenges and the irregular / ice block puzzles..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Ruined by intrusive adsThis is a nice, intuitive sudoku game with ads for Fishdom that force you to open the App Store. Why would you do this? Nobody wants this. It’s like hornets at a bbq..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ How many adverts!!!There are so many adverts, worse than American TV, the adverts play for over a minute in between each game and if you make a mistake trying to cancel them, they start again. Find a different sudoku game.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Lengthy adsThis app would be great if it didn’t have 30 second ads between each game without the option to skip. I get it that they need to make money but I like to play in short bursts when I have the time or I’m waiting for something. These ads force me to log out of the game so I’m now only playing it for a quarter of the time I used to. Disappointing..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Long time loadingI really like the game but it takes longer and longer to load as I progress through achievements and levels - please fix this as it is really putting me off.Version: 2291
✓ PubYou want publicity? You will be served.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Okay but…Long uninterruptible multilevel ad’s with always ON audio (regardless of game settings) and no way to interrupt . Okay but seen better with less fuss and ads. Interesting daily challenges with some good higher level challenges..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Micromafia Strikes Again (Stop playing until they fix this people)First: no, Microsoft, you do NOT need revenue from these games. Second, the one reason to open this app daily is broken. Fix it. 6 months ago. No excuse other than you’re just taking money and not reinvesting it back in. Third, subs to one of these games should apply across platforms. Period. Dot. Send. Four, if I have my phone on silent, SHUT YOUR AD SOUND OFF. No, your ads do not trump my phone settings. Ever. Five, don’t tell me you have an ad-free option. See point 1. Six, see point 2? Until you fix it, don’t respond. Seven, I stick to what I said on your FB page in March. Until you fix point 2, I will not play your game. I was on it daily for months before..Version: 2.5.6181
✓ Good app, butDon’t get me wrong, I really do like this app. It’s easy to use, puzzles are varied, and there’s plenty of puzzle to do but it annoys me to no end that you can’t go back and complete the daily puzzles from months past. You can do so on the Microsoft Solitaire app and the Microsoft Mahjong app so why can’t I do that on this app as well. Doesn’t make sense. If I could play previous daily challenges this app would be 5* but it bothers me so much that I can’t I had to go for 3*..Version: 2.7.9082
✓ Relentless ads ruin gameLoved this until the ad frequency recently ramped up to literally every other game… I get it, it’s a free app, but 90% are way too long for how much they pop up AND some aren’t mutable, even if your phone is on silent, and to top it off the Royal Match ad (which is the most frequent) will sometimes just play on an endless loop until you close the app or it crashes your phone… then you try 6 more times with the same result, but it will eventually let you play, but who has time for that? I’m very disappointed, uninstalling.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Watch out when you subscribeI subscribed to remove the ads for a month, but now it doesn’t save my progress. I completed at least a quarter of the daily challenges in a day, and now I go to log in the next day, and it’s as if I didn’t do any at all..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Painfully slowThis app just goes on and on with a “Loading” message far too often. Painful ads are far too frequent and long - also they insist on blasting music even when the silent mode is on. Come on Microsoft - you don’t need to do crap like this..Version: 2.0.6020
✓ No landscape viewThis ^ thankfully i can delete apps easily.Version: 2.0.6020
✓ Sudoku not loadingHave the same problems as pedwards9898....worked 2 days ago now just hangs in loading screen.Version: 1.0
✓ No landscape mode for iPad ?Would be nice for the app to rotate between landscape and portrait mode. But it does not. Ugh.Version: 1.2.03210
✓ Needs landscape orientationPlease add landscape orientation.Version: 1.2.02130
✓ Music on when ads are playingDoesn’t always happen but very annoying when it does. I have sound switched off in the settings but some ads override this.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Worst AdsThe ads for TikTok are insufferable. Autoplayed with full volume and almost blew out my Bluetooth speaker. As an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber I feel I shouldn’t even get ads in Microsoft casual games. Fun game though, shame it’s ruined like that. The banner ads are tolerable. Unskippable loud videos are not acceptable..Version: 1.2.03210
✓ Excessive greed and privacy violations prevents it from getting five stars.As a sudoku app, Microsoft’s works great. It gives you flexibility to mark the way you want, whether you work a puzzle box by box or number by number. The daily challenges are quick but pleasant ways to play daily. Thanks to iOS 14, it reveals that every time you open or switch to the app, it copies your clipboard. Nowhere in the app is a reason to paste data, so it is clear the app is stealing your clipboard data. This is very concerning. In addition to this, the ad free costs are too high for my taste. I prefer one time ad free purchases. In lieu of that, if I were able to get all the Microsoft games ad free on all platforms for the cost they offer, I would be willing to pay that. But as of right now, it’s about $10/yr for each game and each platform. Too high..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ ADS!!!!I have ads playing in the background even though I have music and SFX volume both turned off. Very annoying!!!!! Will be uninstalling this for this reason.Version: 1.0
✓ Stupid adsAt over a trillion dollar company and you have to play long ads for candy crush. I get some ads but get rid of the long annoying ones.Version: 1.0
✓ Nice design, shame about the long adsVery nice design, but the same, 30 second ad after every game? Ridiculous and annoying. No way in hell am I ever going to click on it..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Broken!!!I’ve Been playing the paid version of this game for a while on three different devices using the same Microsoft login. I’ve been doing that with solitaire for years and the account was always correct. With Sudoku, Initially, The level never synched up across the three machines. Then it started losing track of the daily challenge games I played, saying I didn’t play them on one machine even though I finished them on another. This was all while logged in. Then a few days ago, my “level” info was lost and I dropped from nearly 200 down to 1. It keeps track of all of my awards correctly on each machine though....wired. Now, i cant get the game to load at all on any of the three devices (2 iPads and an iPhone). The game just spins at the initial start up page. And never gets to the menu. Too bad. Fun game when it works but losing my history is inexcusable. I’m done..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Appallingly bad.You’d be better off installing ransomware than this garbage.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Great app but adverts are too longOkay, I understand that the app is free only because I get shown adverts. I’m not excited about it but accept it as a consequence of it being free. However, 30 seconds per advert is too long. Just long enough to put me off using the app. It’s a shame..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ I want to give 5 stars, but...The game is good, challenging puzzles, and I enjoy the daily challenges and achievements that can be earned. I understand the ads, and can deal with them. However, when my phone is in silent mode, THE ADS SHOULD BE TOO. I have never experienced this issue, where ads appear in full volume when my phone is in silent mode on any other app. Very embarrassing when sitting in the middle of a waiting room, etc. Really??!??.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Ads play sound when phone sound is switched off!I’ve always had a little beef that on Microsoft games you’ve had to turn the hardware sound switch off to silence the ads as the games sound controls don’t do that, a real pain anyway as it is so easy to forget to turn the ringer back on! But in my first few days of playing this, that isn’t enough!! Sound starts playing on the Royal game ads with the switch off and the speaker silence button is jammed so far into the corner it’s hard to hit. This make this game hard to play while in bed with a sleeping partner! ( or in a meeting LOL) At least this game ad doesn’t have loud startling sound like some on MS Solitare (so far)..Version: 2.7.9082
✓ Please add Landscape modeIt is truly mind boggling that there is no landscape mode. I understand that this game wasn’t built by Microsoft and just marketed by them but you would think that they would have basic standards instead of just a money grab..Version: 2.7.9082
✓ Microsoft sudokuGreat app!!!! I love irregular puzzles! What I don’t love is being stuck in that stupid ad for Fishdom and can’t get out of it when I try to load Master or Grandmaster!!!! And when I went back in to load Expert which I just finished playing, I had the same thing happen. Stuck in Fishdom. Please fix it!! I’d sure like to give 5 stars but this is unacceptable!.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Love this, but…..The ads in this game have become so incredibly annoying that I am considering deleting even though it s one of my favorites. The Royal match game ads take anywhere from 4-6 times pressing the skip or X to get out of. It won’t go away until you do so. Same with the monopoly and wood block games. I will never even try these games because of that. I may even like them, but too bad your ads are too much. The sudoku game is fine. Like it plenty..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Ads play sounds regardless of silent modeI would like it except I can’t play it all the time because ads play sound even when my phone is on silent mode. I have sounds turned off for the entire app and my phone is on silent… but ads like for the walking dead app come blaring out out of my phone… which is awkward since I would like to use this to pass the time while waiting for things like my doctor appointments or class to start…..Version: 2.6.7221
✓ Good, butThe prevalence of ads and a subscription service to remove them ruins the whole experience. I’ve found that deleting the app once I get to level 10 and reinstalling it will remove the video ads, but I’ve had to do this so many times and it’s annoying every time. Having to pay a subscription for sudoku without 30 second long ads is ridiculous and greedy. Other than that, the app is great and supersedes several other alternatives on the App Store features-wise..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Challenges quit good, butDaily challenge is good. App let down by slow response buttons and and imprecise touch targets. Too often think you are pencilling notes and suddenly find that you are actually guessing and racking up mistakes.Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Latest update makes game very disappointing.Overall ratings based on prior versions. The new update gave us ‘improved’ graphics and a new look at the daily challenges, including an Ice Breaker game that requires more planning and is a solid test for any player. Sadly the update also gave us a long list of bugs. The game has lost my progress, more than once. There is no landscape mode making it harder to play if you have any visual restrictions. The interface is clunky on iOS. Stay away and wait for a revision or two..Version: 2.0.6020
✓ LayoutIs it possible to have it in landscape format fr the iPad, please?.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Absolute Garbage Plagued by Corporate GreedThe monthly subscription model for a game like this is disgusting. The money hungry coonts at Microsoft should be fah-qing ashamed of themselves. This game is unplayable, as you need to watch 2 minutes of deceitful ads before you can play. Microsoft is a disease on this planet..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Disgusting adsGame itself is a good one, but aggressive ads are disgusting. 30 secont to watch them, then click in on next wait 5 second then Done and 5 sec again to close them. M# you are a multimillionaire company, you could be nicer than this..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Too many advertsThe adverts interrupt the flow of the game, and when they show up they’re too long. Don’t expect to pay Microsoft £2.99/month to remove them when I already pay for Xbox Live Gold. Actual gameplay however is very good..Version: 1.0
✓ Adverts always play with soundAdverts are an accepted annoyance of free-to-play games, I don’t take issue with that. But on this app the sound is played regardless of silent mode being on or off. This is the only app I’ve downloaded that does this - the Microsoft solitaire collection doesn’t do it either 🤷♂️. Also the only advert on the app is TikTok. Over and over again..Version: 1.2.03210
✓ Use to love this but it no longer worksSince an update occurred at the beginning of last week the app has become unplayable. All that happens is that it glues to the start up screen saying it’s loading with numbers interchanging in the box and it doesn’t go any further. I play the same app on my iPad and PC and exactly the same thing happens on the other device. Please sort this out.Version: 2.2.10190
✓ The worst for adsEven that I have paid for the ads free version and it shows in my profile with the ads disabled icon, it keeps once ina while at random forcing me to see ads. Lately it’s doing it every other time I load the app. Worse it runs a timer and loud volume even when the phone is in silent. Then it has a timer counter then runs a second add then forces another 6 seconds before it shows the x button. Almost 90 seconds before it releases the app Awful!!!!.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Worked well until last updateThe app ran pretty well, got 825/1000G on Xbox Live, then the mid-July update that introduce Dark Mode broke my Xbox « save », where now I am stuck in the tutorial on the single row to complete without any way of progressing. This persist across multiple platforms and resintalls..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ App CrashesThis app crashes regularly when I’m half way through a puzzle and doesn’t save progress. Using dark mode in game setting on an iPhone X running iOS 16. Please fix or at least save progress during a game! Edit. Switched dark mode off in game and it still didn’t help..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Great game but only a subscription!It is a great game, pity that you cannot enjoy it without having to pay regularly, why not a one off payment option?.Version: 2.4.4261
✓ Relentless AdvertsYou get 1 star because you’ve taken a great game and ruined it with relentless adverts. I get the advert-free-play model - but a 30secs ad between every game is beyond annoying and is borderline extortion. Very disappointed that an outfit like Microsoft has to resort to these kind of cheap tricks to get subscribers..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ DON't BOTHERI have had the premium subscription for a few years, but the loud ads for other games got so bad I deleted the app. My subscription just renewed earlier this month but to heck with them. I would gladly lose the money to avoid these horrible ads that take over the screen and force the player to wait until Microsoft deigned to show an "x" to allow my to turn it off. I thought subscribing meant no ads. BOY WAS I WRONG..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ So ma y addsThis game is great and which I could buy it. But either you pay a recurrent subscription which is ridiculous or watch an excessive amount of adds..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Is no longer saving progress for daily challengesHas stopped saving challenge updates for about a week now. Update: I received an email from the developer stating that this issue was initially raised 3 months ago and that a fix was anticipated in early 2021. So a company like Microsoft takes over 3 months to resolve an issue? Note that the progress seems to save okay when I launch the game from my Windows 10 pc. Issue from my experience is limited to access via iPhone and iPad..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Audio in ads ignores silent mode and plays anywayGame music does not play when my iPad is set to silent ringer, which is great. One problem… ads have audio play anyway. Nothing more awkward then an ad playing loudly when you’re in a public place. Also the app tends to have endless loading screens occasionally when left in RAM too long. Force quitting the app will result in several moves not being saved to the cloud, and NOT detecting a differing local save upon start up (the only work around is to let it unload from RAM again without force quitting, i.e open several other apps until forcing swap memory usage). Just a strange and annoying bug..Version: 2.4.4261
✓ DisappointedReally discouraged as every day I log in and it still lost my games completed. Microsoft please get on the ball and correct the bugs in the program. Really not happy with having to redo the sudoku games that have been already completed..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Good to a pointIt’s a really nice game, good user interface with plenty of quality of life features to make it enjoyable…. But adds happen every 3 games and it’s far too expensive to subscribe. Why is it not included in game pass like solitaire is!? Also there is currently an add that last 6000 seconds with no skip so it’s now impossible to play… thanks for that I’m out..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Supposedly family game (rated 4+) shows casino adsWhy is this game showing advertisements for online casinos???.Version: 2.2.10190
✓ I used to like itI used to play every day, and I loved the different modes. But for the last couple of months my progress on the daily challenge is gone the next day. Why bother with the daily challenge if the game doesn’t retain your progress from day to day? I’ll come back when that bug is fixed. I also wish there were ice breakers for regular play, not just in the daily challenge..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Slow, too many adds.For a simple game, this takes an age to load on a 2021 iPad Pro. Worse, it’s riddled with overlong, invasive adverts that take an age to clear. Come on Microsoft - scrap the ads. I expect this from free games made in a shed, but not a business where this is a sideline. It’s not as if you need the revenue..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Bug in acknowledging daily challenges still not fixedI try and complete the daily challenges each day but when I move between locations - and wifi networks - it regularly resets previous challenges to not being completed. The score gets out of whack too. And it’s been doing this for years! Typical of Microsoft to make a bug a feature….Version: 2291
✓ One of the best Sudoku games but ads are unacceptableI really like how Microsoft implemented the Sudoku game, it’s much better than many other versions (e. g. the New York Times). But, the way ads are presented in this app is totally unacceptable, especially for a world class company like Microsoft. A company like Microsoft should not allow questionable advertisers deceive and confuse their customers. I am very surprised how Microsoft damages their own reputation by offering such an app..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Waste of time since last updateI used to play this everyday until it stopped saving my daily challenges and then i could not even get it to open on my Microsoft surface. I can manage to get into on my iPad but is still does not save my completed games. Really disappointed as my routine was daily solitaire, sudoku and mahjong challenges. When will this problem get fixed.I did once go onto chat line and woman advised me she could fix problem but it would cost me $99 could not repeat my thoughts on that response 🤬.Version: 2.2.10190
✓ So DissatisfiedIt has now been 3 months and still will not save challenges . Very very poor programmers not being able to fix this app..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Good sudoku but ads are intrusiveI've gotten the same Royal Match ads over and over again between games. They all play audio which pauses my background music. If that isn't enough, the ad also hijacks the device play/pause buttons meaning I have to switch back and forth to the app playing my music in order to resume it while the ad plays out. It's enough to completely ruin the game experience to the point where I would rather delete the app and be done with it than pay a penny to remove ads..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ AdsNot happy. I have a Xbox account through Microsoft and despite this and this app being signed in via that and the Microsoft store I still get crappy ads coming up. Just how much money do they expect you to pay to play some average Sudoku game ….. get a grip and get ads removed..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Microsoft is deaf!The game is not bad but it is always portrait. Very few people use a tablet in portrait except when we’re forced by idiotic programming that forces portrait. Wake up and start listening! The irregular games are of very odd and not that irregular..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Bad synchronizationThis apps don’t synchronized well between my iPad and my PC. I just lost my month’s challenges scores and all the scores that I have accumulated this month. After this note, il will uninstall this apps from all my iOS devices..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Too many advertsGreat game, but the adverts are super intrusive. At really frequent intervals you have to watch a really long video after which you often are forced to go to the App Store before you can continue the game. I don’t mind adds but these are too frequent, too long and I resent being forced to go to the App Store. So, I thought I’d consider buying the game. No luck there. Only option appears to be to subscribe at a really expensive rate. Sorry, but there is no way on earth that I’m willing to pay THAT much to play Sudoku. So I doubt I’m going to continue much longer even though the game’s good. But it’s really not worth such an expensive subscription..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ I refuse to play this any moreI can live with the bugs and irritations in this game, but as of today I'm refusing to play it any more because I find the obligatory ads to be highly offensive. I get that I'm required to watch an occasional ad because I haven't subscribed to a premium membership or whatever, but I detest watching cartoon people being tortured or killed as part of some supposedly "cute" and "fun" game. Closing and reopening the game just keeps giving me the same offensive ad, never a different and less-offensive ad. Today's required ad seems to be a cartoon king drowning in a room filling up with water while he's chained to the floor by his feet. The idea that children are watching these ads, playing these games, and being taught that it's hilarious to watch someone being drowned in a bondage situation is positively frightening..Version: 2.4.4261
✓ Reading Clipboard DataThis app was great, until iOS 14 released and I started getting notifications that the app was pasting info from my clipboard every time I launched the app. Why do you need to know what’s in my clipboard Microsoft?.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Scoring not loadingThe daily scoring is not being saved, and reading the online forums it is a problem that has been a while. When Microsoft decide to fix the Problem then I will give a better score. Until then.....Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Needs landscape mode for iPadsI love this game even paid for the years subscription. Works great on most formats. Phone check, iPad mini check, heavy iPad 12.9 Pro.. fail.. It doesn’t support landscape mode? For the larger tablets please add the option of landscape. Shift the numbers to the side vertically and it’s the same game!!!.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ A mediocre Sudoku challengeThere’s potential here for the app to be great but it misses the mark in a couple of critical areas. One, there’s no apparent way to update candidates. Removing candidates from a cell is part of the process for moving to solving the puzzle. One could use a piece of paper to track this, but then why not just play a printed puzzle. Second, the difficulty of the puzzles are somewhat laughable. I do expect the easiest level to be easy and for beginners, but the grandmaster difficulty should require more advanced techniques than hunting pointing pairs and hidden triples..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Ads are increasingly manipulativeI do not begrudge any business to not “give it away for free”, and I do not mind watching the 6 second ads. However, I am deeply offended by the attempt to force me to wait 9999 seconds while a game tries to manipulate me into downloading it. Just imagine how much damage such a strategy could do to senior citizens or anyone else who might be less savvy … or, is that your goal?.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Too much adsEven if you’ve watched the ads and tap to close it still opens the store, sometimes few times. So annoying.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Disappointed in MicrosoftThe game is a lot of fun and the app is well done. BUT, Microsoft made one mistake that I have found. They take all your information to make an account that they claim remembers your position with in the game. Opps, the information goes to them but it doesn’t remember most of your game play. It remembers your main level and that’s about it..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Horrible UI design, not possible to close ad covering whole screenImpossible to close the ad on ipod. No way to play because the ad covers whole screen and close button is not visible. Horrible UI design..Version: 1.2.03210
✓ Progress isn’t saving or syncing.Previously played games do not save, and games do not sync across devices. Have seen numerous others complain about same issues. Very frustrating..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ The ads are getting too long.I understand that ads will support the program but lately hitting X to move on simply means starting another ad timer and the another and another. As much as I enjoy the mental challenge, as soon as I post this review I’m deleting the app and will look for a different one..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Half the time ads are 10,000 seconds long.Fine game other than that..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Pathetic exploitation of consumersMicrosoft Sudoku might be my favorite implementation of Sudoku on the iPad - the trouble is getting to the game, which is why this is a one-star review, which is frankly one star too many. I would happily pay a one-time fee for this game, but the only payment options are for a pay-forever subscription, which is difficult to justify for a game like this. So then there are the ads. It is one thing to have us wait through the better part of a minute for it to play out, followed by an additional counter. We don’t even get the benefit of an ‘X’ at the end to exit out for most of them. We get a redirect right out of the app to try to exploit us into paying a subscription for another app. This is a security problem. Are we supposed to trust a company that puts us through this? I am ashamed on behalf of Microsoft for abusing their customers like this..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Very long ads!There are 3-4 countdowns in each ad, as they try to shove the product down your throat. Video plays, then they ask you to play the game in the ad, then another wait to download the product app, then an App Store pop-up … each time one has to wait… The X to close the ad is narrow… if you miss the pixel, you are in another trap. Other apps/games don’t do this. They play the video and leave you alone. VERY PUSHY ADS..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ The ads are driving me crazyI really enjoy this game. I like how it's played and the options available. But the ads... You are forced to watch full commercial length ads for stupid games I'll never play. Sometimes the ad won't start until you press a play button. Almost every ad won't just end. You have to press a link to load the app store listing for the game, then close it, and then wait even longer before you can finally close the ad. Lately, I've been having ads freeze locking the game. I then have to close everything and watch another stupid ad before I can play. I'm done and deleting this app..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Needs a landscape option.Awkward to have to prop up my tablet in portrait orientation. Probably won’t use it much..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ SudokuPlayed game for a year, paid subscription.I will not be renewing my subscription because I have started to use hints, if I chose to use two hints I get lots of adverts, assuming a subscription removes adverts this app does not..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Stupid addsThe allowance of in app ads by dream games ltd detracts from this app. They dream games persistently try and trick you into installing their app by launching the store install when you touch next -| or X exit icon then repeat when you close the store, eventually they give up and let you pass. Honestly they should behave like other advertisers show you their add then let you move on aka turning the page..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Bug Fixes PleaseFinished all of July’s current games in one session this evening only to go back to the main home screen & then find that the games had not saved. I’m all for getting the best out of a game but repeating already completed challenges is not good. Please fix it, thanks..Version: 2.0.6020
✓ Game itself is great but can’t silence sound from adsThe actual game is really good but sound still plays from ads even when sound settings are set to off. Sound settings should apply to every part of the game including ads. You can’t purchase the game to get rid of ads. You can only subscribe monthly or yearly. I would purchase the game for a one time fee to get rid of ads but I am not interested in subscriptions. I ended up deleting the app..Version: 2.7.9082
✓ No Landscape Mode??With its best-in-class design and special effects plus an ad-free option that's actually affordable, Microsoft Sudoku should be my favorite. But I'm disappointed that it lacks support for landscape tablet mode. You can actually force it to landscape on a Samsung tablet but not on iPad. As a result, I've canceled my ad-free subscription and have found another Sudoku game that is not as nice, but at least has tablet support (landscape mode)..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Inappropriate addsI understand that in order to use this app you have to let the ads run. I don’t have a problem with that but I do have a problem ads for gambling that have just turned up in front of my 9 year old. That is not good..Version: 2.4.4261
✓ Good & badCons: Crashes on iOS 14.1, and inhibits the task switcher. Pros: Nice interface and enjoyable to play (when it works).Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Like the game but needs more UI work for iPad ProThe game play is nice and has some challenge to it. What I absolutely do not like is that the game will not rotate. I use my iPad in landscape about 90% of the time because of my external keyboard. Even if I’m in prorate it will not rotate which is a pain when it is charging. I like my charge to be at the top, not the bottom so the cord is not kinked. Fix the rotation issue and I’ll review again..Version: 1.2.03210
✓ Frequently hangs while launching or starting a new gameIPad Pro. Great when it works but too many times it simply displays the loading screen forever..Version: 2291
✓ Can’t turn off soundEnjoying, but even with all the sounds supposedly turned off you still get noises from moves and completing rows, columns etc, so annoying for others in the same area, and I’m not a fan of the tings fanfares etc in any game so always have them off- or would of I could! Also adverts have annoying sounds that can’t be turned off, so impossible to play if there is anyone else in the near vicinity. This really spoils the game. Not paying for no adverts if you can’t turn off sound..Version: 2.6.7221
✓ App started crashingHaven’t managed to finish a classic puzzle in a while as the app crashes out in the middle of a game. Don’t appear to have the same issue with the daily challenges?!?!.Version: 2.2.07060
✓ Games stuck on loadingStarted having problems with games not loading a couple of weeks ago, had to keep restarting the app. Now it gets stuck every time I try to load a game. I suspect its trying to load an advert every time and failing..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Lazy UpdatesHere it is February 8th and they still haven’t loaded the February Challenges… not for the first time either!.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Adverts too frustratingPlay lots of games that give adverts but this is the worst. Adverts often crash my iPad and are very long and boring when they don’t crash. Please can you sort out how you put adverts into the game?.Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Love the game butI love the game, but every time an ad comes on, it plays full-blast audio - despite having all audio and music settings turned off and having my phone on silent mode. This is frustrating when I accidentally wake up my spouse when I’m playing a late night game. Fix this. It’s akin to TV commercial coming on with full volume. It’s just bad experience..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Grandmaster was too easy15 minutes to finish their toughest puzzle difficulty. No hints used..Version: 2.8.10271
✓ Terminal AdsFull screen ad never ended. Otherwise great game..Version: 2.2.10190
✓ Good Soduku game. Ads don’t respect device settingsThe game itself is on par with other Microsoft casual games like Solitare. Very let down that the adverts that play between games don’t respect the phones ‘silent’ setting, so even though my phone hasn’t been taken off silent since 2002 it plays the advert videos at full blast. I feel like app should fail a compliance review for circumventing device settings like this..Version: 2.2.07060
✓ No landscape mode for iPadDon’t get this if you own an iPad. Only works in portrait mode.Version: 2.2.10190
