Update one month later December: Seems worse! What on earth are the developers doing??? This is the most frustrating game I've played! Will look for a faster, more responsive version. Y'all need new developers. November: Slow response! It's so slow responding, it's not fun anymore since a recent update! I've tried to ignore it, but I see a lot of other people are having the same issue. I'll only play one or two games, then I give up and go to something else.

Of the several SUDOKU apps I've tried over the years, this is by far the best for the way it's layed out and highlighted during play. You can select any of the 5 levels of difficulty, and play with or without hints or automatic pencil marks, or mark your own. You also have the option of playing cell first or number first. it's just great!

This used to be a good game, before it was updated a few months ago. Now it's less responsive on the same device - pressing a key sometimes doesn't work at all. I can accept the slowdown, but cannot accept the ads that load a website of their choice at random in my browser just by playing the game! This is an unacceptable breach of security.

Update: this latest version with ad at top of screen during game has now moved the new game and daily game buttons off the bottom of my screen. I have over 17 million points, been playing for years and now I can't play. Can't roll back, lost all the stars. Go back to ads between games with ads for other games, primarily. Don't install this sudoku. Find another one. I have to do

Hadn't used the app for several months and just came back to the updated version. Used to be a great app, the hints were stellar and learned so much on Sudoku logic. Now the app is slow, many times need to tap multiple times to place a number. Worse is the new hint that solves a square by 'Trial and Error'. In first 3 or 4 puzzles, this hint came up each time where old version had great hints. I wish I could go back to old versions, I'd drop the new one immediately. Looking for a replacement.

Gameplay is pretty good, and I've been playing it for years. However, I purchased the remove ads option in June, and now I'm getting ads again. Tried all their recommended fixes with no change, then tried to reach out to the company for help, and I haven't heard anything from them in weeks. They lost 4 stars since they took my money, are still slapping me with ads, and won't work with me to fix the problem.

Update: It's November 19 and I'm still waiting for the update promised in September. Update: the new version now runs on my Pixel 6A. However, it appears that several new bugs have been introduced and it runs extremely slowly. Button presses sometimes take over a second for the app to respond. The notes function now works differently than the old version and appears to be buggy.

I'm sorry to have to edit my review. I have used this app heavily and even paid for premium. It is how I learned about logic in sudoku in challenging puzzles. However, the animations and responsiveness have become laggy and unusable, and whatever system is used to generate the puzzles now results in about half of them only being solvable by "trial and error." Major changes are needed, and I'm cancelling my premium.

Fewer features with a higher price. This is some "updated" version of the app. I paid for a premium version of the app a few years ago. Brainium deleted that app and left this version with fewer features, tons of ads, and a higher price to go ad free even though I already paid for an ad free version of the game... it also doesn't run as smoothly, it has really jump animation. Incredibly disappointed, especially in the lack of response here and through their customer service email.

Editing my review due to recent changes that have negatively affected the game. First, number input has become very sluggish - I often have to press a number several times for it to register on the puzzle. Second, and most annoying, ads that open a web browser now often open when I'm in the middle of playing a game. This is a major distraction in a game that requires focus and encourages completion speed.
