  • The game offers a unique twist on traditional Sudoku by incorporating math, making it more engaging and challenging.
  • The interface is user-friendly, and the controls are easy to navigate, allowing for a smooth gameplay experience.
  • The variety of difficulty levels keeps the game interesting, catering to both beginners and experienced players.
  • The frequency and length of ads have become excessive, often interrupting gameplay and making the experience frustrating.
  • There is no option to disable the mistake notifications, which can detract from the challenge and enjoyment of the game.
  • Recent updates have introduced bugs, such as the game freezing or opening unwanted browser tabs during play.
  • monetization
    545 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players report experiencing long, unskippable ads before and after games, as well as during gameplay, which often lead to browser redirects and frustration. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, the aggressive nature and frequency of these ads have led to a decline in user satisfaction, with many considering uninstalling the app or opting for premium subscriptions to avoid the interruptions.

    • “Great experience, no ads during play, and it prevents you from penciling impossible (already used) numbers.”
    • “I would gladly pay a one-time fee for no ads, but not worth a subscription.”
    • “Play on airplane mode, no ads.”
    • “The moving ads at the bottom of the screen during gameplay is bad, but full-screen ads which hide the 'X' to close for 5 seconds only to pull up another page or two which also hide the 'X' for another 5 seconds each is way too much.”
    • “However, after the update, in addition to the ads that pop up after games, ads will not only appear during the game, but open your browser without you touching the ad section or even the screen at all, which should not ever happen.”
    • “The ads make it impossible to play.”
  • gameplay
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with users appreciating the smooth mechanics and engaging puzzles. However, the frequent and intrusive ads significantly detract from the experience, often interrupting gameplay and frustrating players. While some users enjoy the variety and options available, the overwhelming presence of ads has led to a notable decline in satisfaction.

    • “Very nice gameplay, and the user interface helps to quickly figure out the problem to be solved.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth and the puzzles are great.”
    • “After using this app for 3 years, I am still enjoying it, and its many options for gameplays, levels, goals, challenges, and ability to play against others.”
    • “The moving ads at the bottom of the screen during gameplay are bad, but full-screen ads that hide the close button for 5 seconds, only to pull up another page or two which also hide the close button for another 5 seconds each, are way too much.”
    • “I'm not watching a full 30 seconds worth of ads for two minutes of gameplay.”
    • “The ads whenever you start, end, pause, or exit and return ruin the gameplay.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express significant frustration with the music aspect of the game, primarily due to intrusive and loud ads that interrupt their own music playback. Many report that the app plays its own music continuously, even when settings are adjusted, making it difficult to enjoy the game without disturbances. Overall, the overwhelming presence of obnoxious ad music has led some players to consider uninstalling the app.

    • “I like to play this while listening to music, but having my music constantly interrupted by a loud banner ad is borderline infuriating.”
    • “I'm used to solving sudokus while listening to music; now my music is interrupted by harmfully loud ad music.”
    • “Sudoku does not need circus music.”
    • “I have enjoyed this game a lot until recently; every time I open the app, it starts playing obnoxious music and it won't stop playing when in the background or on a call.”
    • “There is constantly music playing when the game is open and I have no way of turning the music off besides closing the game.”
    • “I'm used to solving sudokus while listening to music, now my music is interrupted by harmfully loud ad music.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration and disappointment regarding intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, often appearing unexpectedly and without user interaction. This has led to a negative emotional response, as players feel their experience is compromised by persistent notifications and a lack of control over the ad settings. Despite these issues, some users remain hopeful for a resolution from support.

  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and boring, often leading to frustration due to repetitive tasks and excessive data usage. Many express a desire for more challenging content, as the current levels and daily challenges feel too easy, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the mechanics can lead to mistakes that require restarting, further contributing to the sense of tedium.

    • “I fill them in myself at the beginning of the game, and it's very tedious and boring.”
    • “Most mistakes will happen because of mistaps, having to restart over making 3 mistakes is just tedious and ruins the fun, and if you turn that off then you can basically just brute force your way to the solution since it outright tells you if you put the wrong digit in.”
    • “Sometimes I find Sudoku tedious to play to finish.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues with the game, citing frequent bugs, freezing, and crashes, particularly during daily challenges and battles. While players enjoy the gameplay, the persistent technical problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “Every other day, the app fails to load, or simply freezes.”
    • “The battles are fun but over half of the time it freezes 19 to 45 seconds in.”
    • “Totally addicted but recently the game abruptly stops, freezes, or kicks me out of the game.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users praising the high quality and variety, while others criticized certain elements as pornographic and demeaning. There is a call for improved visuals during themed events to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Constant variety, challenging puzzles, great graphics!”
    • “Themed events should have at least some visuals during the puzzle (a non-invasive background, maybe?).”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the humor in the app's battle mode, which is initially entertaining but becomes repetitive over time. However, the pricing for the ad removal subscription is considered excessively high, adding a layer of irony to the experience.

    • “I genuinely enjoy this app, especially with the battle mode, which I initially found hilarious but eventually just kept playing.”
    • “Acceptable Sudoku app; however, the subscription to remove ads is hilariously overpriced.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the performance comparison feature in the Sudoku game, which enhances the experience by providing insights beyond just time and mistakes. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of performance metrics, as some players feel their stats do not align with the rankings they receive.

    • “What I like better about this Sudoku is that it provides a visual representation of my performance compared to others who have completed the puzzle, rather than just showing the time and number of mistakes.”
    • “I'm not sure why I receive regular messages stating that my performance is only as good as 35% of players when all of my stats place me in the top 30%, and most in the top 10%.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is noted for its uniqueness, setting it apart from typical narratives in the genre.

    • “This one has a different story.”
