★★★★★ "The latest update broke drag to select multiple squares. Also, the sudoku list flashes and does not load on Pixel 10 Pro XL when the display is set to Standard Resolution. It does show properly when set to Max Resolution." - AJ Klein

The latest update broke drag to select multiple squares. Also, the sudoku list flashes and does not load on Pixel 10 Pro XL when the display is set to Standard Resolution. It does show properly when set to Max Resolution.
I've fallen asleep while solving, only to wake up to the phone being dangerously warm, with the screen still on. (And battery drained.) While I see the usefulness of the game keeping the screen on while you're solving, a 30 minute timer to lock the screen would be nice, and safe. Great puzzles with almost all hints being correct.
restart my phone and it deleted all of my progress and previously finished levels. It now acts like I just freshly installed it
The newest UI update makes everything less easy to access. The added functionality is nice but the difference in usability is jarring.
Was loving this best Sudoku app but the last android update causes it to crash, complete failure to launch. I emailed the developer, no response. Please get us back up and running!!
Game started crashing and can't get it to open even after reinstalling
Suddenly stopped working. The sudoku are quite challenging, the order of them and lack of access to all games i do not understand.
Can't open. Keeps crashing.
Love the loaded games. But using the interface is NOT intuitive. Example: I turn on coloring the squares and fumble my way to actually coloring some of them. Hooray, right? Wrong. I swear there is absolutely no way to switch back out of coloring the squares! I've tried everything available on the interface, but no dice! WTH? And just you try to find any kind of tutorial on how to navigate this app. Hello? Instructions anyone? I really want to be able to use this thing but can't get help!
The new UI is terrible. Now all the numbers are tiny and there is wasted space on the screen meaning I keep missing the buttons. There are also icons and buttons with very unclear meaning. Much prefer the older UI!
Persistent crashing after a device update. Please fix!
Content and UI are absolutely fantastic, but after a device software update it keeps crashing. This happened a few months back as well. I managed to fix the issue by reinstalling the app, but lost all progress and had to start from 0 again Edit: again, after a device UI update, the game crashes on launch. Problem is persistent and doesn't seem to get addressed by developers. Lowering my rating in hopes of getting this issue on the radar
The battery drain really is insane for me; 1200mA (or 23%/h on my Pixel 6 Pro) is absolutely ridiculous.
Tiny board and no way to change size. Too hard to see. Wish I could post a screenshot.
