Killer Sudoku by Sudoku.com

Nice core functionality, interface could be a little easier Sometimes I try to press one number and get it wrong. I’ve used other APIs that have an easier interface.

New ads New ads

New data harvesting I enjoyed the app (having paid $10 for the ad free version). Then yesterday, I was blocked from opening the app unless I gave permission to release my contact info to the developers advertising partners. NO WAY!!! I’ve since deleted the app. I’ve lost my $10, but hope this review saves you from losing yours. I received a very sensitive response (I’m guessing AI generated) response to my review. It is non-substantive. I paid $10 for the app. And then, with recent updates, I was unable to play the game unless I gave permission to have the app share my information with their marketing partners. As I review other submissions, it’s clear they want to appear sensitive to the complaints. But they’re clearly continuing in deceptive practices. They should be ashamed.

Obnoxious ads I used to like this game but I elect to no longer play it. The ads are cartoonish game ads that set set loudly and play too long.

Wonderful game This is a relaxing Sudoku. I’ve tried other apps and this one is the best, combining math and logic! Love it!

None Hate ads that pop up when you’ve made a correct entry. Kills your momentum.

Too many ads Algorithm recently changed to increase the number of ads. Why do you need this disruptive ads when there are ads continuously running below the game

Too many ads It’s alright for sudoku but have to play with airplane mode on for it to even be playable. $15 to remove is criminal, they pop up every 5 or 6 number solves.

Side contests You had me until you forced the expert games in all of your side contests. There should be a separate contest for expert puzzles. Deleted the game when I found out I couldn’t bypass them.

Ads Ads after a game? Fine. Ads in the middle of a game? Uninstall.
