used to be good but too many adds now better aops available for free
in every tap ads pop ups you can't play normally
adds on top of adds. waist of time.
False commitments to make you to see multiple annoying ads... but you will not get rewards as per mentioned. There is one advertisement for flixbus which is there for about 10 minutes.. I have decided not to use that app at any cost as it's making users of other apps as fools.
everything is great. apart from the adverts. the gameplay v forced adverts watching is just wrong. far too much time spent watching ads. I'm looking for another sudoka app with an acceptable advert blance.
Unplayable due to an absurd amount of ads.
рекламы больше чем самой игры. играть невозможно. я смотрю две рекламы при начале игры, приходится паузе, при рестарте. удалила - вы переборщили
there are too many ads! plus the game play is erratic. every "hard" puzzle I complete with no problems then I get three "easy" puzzles in a row. also, who ranks the games. many of the "hard" ones are easier than the "medium" ones.
Frequently getting glitches where it doesn't return to the game after an Ad. closing an restarting the app does not fix, updating the app didn't fix it either.
game is good but ads in btw games irritating
Fine game, but ads are way too much, the worst kind also, the ones that don't show how long you need to wait to skip them or even show how to skip them unless you wait like a minute. Invisible "x" button, no timer either. Maybe 5/5 without ads, but those ads ruin it completely. So if you plan to pay for it 5/5, if not 1/5.
terrible app. they dont validate solutions leading to multiple correct solutions or ones that cant be deduced by logic because they work backwards and then juat remove numbers and dont check them
2 minutes of playtime, 5 minutes of ads.
too many ads, if you play the event there is an ad to start the board, an ad when you finish the board and an ad if there is a prize. some ads are 1 min long with no way to end it sooner.
great sudoku but to many ads. when you start the are almost no ads. after playing for years and with the last update you get an add before and after each game. I spend most of the time in ads just to playing for a few minutes then more ads
way too many ads. pause the game for a couple seconds and unpause? ad. finish a game? ad. collect a reward? ad. and the ads are usually ones that won't go away until they launch the play store
horrendous ads
Too many ads that cannot be closed... forcing me to shut down the app and restart. Ads before you start a board, ads when you complete a board and ads when you are in the middle of an extreme level board.
impossible to get through some advertisements.
seems app is using bots in place of real players
too many ad
this game was enjoyable when I first played it but now I am in undated with added. I just had to watch 3 ads before starting a game and another straight after it. I am going to delete it and a sudoku without ads
الكثير من الإعلانات في كل مكان
Forcing ads on users is crazy. It's even crazier the app is this successful. I'm done with this money scam.
the app is good ...but the ads are frustrating not skip able.....if the ad problem not solved i m going to uninstall it..,
after almost a month since my last rate downgrade because of the Ads. still no improvement (Ads category and Ads quantity). it is time to leave. developers values the Ads over their app rating and their costumes opinions. think twice developers.
too many ads if you play when internet connection is on, and they directly throw you to play store!
1. Obnoxious ads.Install new game or go to play score. Or restart the game. 2. Requires many more strokes than other Sodoku apps, particularly in end game Otherwise app is good, and choice of levels is very good. - thus I gave it an extra star.
Ads are coming before each game and after each game, so you will watch more ads than you will play.
Great game but the ads actively block continuing the game unless you take the action they want you to take. eg buy or install. any other response just loops round to the offer again. very frustrating and very poor dev and testing
