always going into a loop so have to shut down and startover
I used to love playing this. however, they updated it to include ads after thinking for more than 5-10 seconds. I have been trying to get a sub 10 minute time on master but, every time think for longer than 5-10 seconds and ad pops up after I place my next number. It really breaks your concentration. even patterns that I could clearly see vanish because my brain has to contend with finding the X to close the ad. this would be a 5 star even with an ad at the beginning or end of the match.
first forced ads was ten minutes on, it was an Amazon ad with no way to exit. don't bother.
There are too many ads, and the idea of paying $18 to have the ads removed is extremely ridiculous.
Advertised as no-ads, but it has lots of ads
way too many ads. They interrupted my game too many times. if you want to keep going on a game, you've messed up, you have to watch as many as 3 ads. That's way too many for me. I'm done!
Forced ads Edit: devs - you have completely failed to hit your "aim"
something is seriously wrong with the app. it seems that there's a built in media player that randomly plays videos, but none of the videos are on my phone. it seems to download the videos without permission in the background which eats up data. please beware. there are better, less invasive sudoku apps
so many adds!!!! I had 3 adds per single puzzle. absolutely unreasonable.
too many adds
Play 20 seconds, watch an add for 20 seconds. To get out of the as, you have to click 2 to 3 times... Used to be better. No more fun to play.
way to many advertising junk
ads halfway through playing a game is ridiculous, before and after is fine but in the middle of playing a game just turned me off this app immediately
Just an ad watching simulator to get them ad rev.
higher the level more adds, more adds at time , spend 30mins playing high levels 25 mins of adds spoils whole experience
too many ads
the developers accept very bad advertisement over the money how many times i reported the advertisement but still showing up
great initially, then add right in the middle of the game and then they won't close. If you want people to buy the app just state that from the start.
too much ads
too many ads
says no ads..there are ads and a lot of them
This game has really gone downhill. The ads are obnoxious, and now they've become completely random in terms of timing. Even if you have the app set to no sound, the ads will stop your playlist, and you'll have to manually restart it. The puzzles themselves have become less artful, too. Many puzzles have no clear solution, requiring guessing. I started this app many years ago, and it's hard to give up on a six year streak of completing daily puzzles, but I'm looking for a new Sudoku app.
This app needs an auto-notes feature where notes are automatically populated in all cells. There also needs to be a feature of different colored notes so players can distinguish different types of candidates. The game also is missing a night mode and different themes.
It was great until it asked to share a bunch of information/metrics with over 100 other companies and wouldn't let me play until I accepted. Uninstalled.
The game makes you watch ads for rewards, and then doesn't give the rewards. sometimes two or three ads, and no rewards. Then the game crashes, and you lose all your progress against whatever puzzle you were working on. Then they want to run tournament events which depend on completing puzzles with all this going on.... Simply terrible
tons of ads
I saw multiple ads about the app that said there were no ads included in the game itself, however, I receive 1-2 ads after I fail a gameplay or before I begin a new one.
too many adverts when trying to solve puzzle
way too many ads! mid game, stop to watch and ad, unacceptably despicable from a dev to force midrolls on a player, just makes me close the app out, and re open it, just to skip the ad mid game. shame
