▻Sudoku 17+

I've been playing sudoku using this iOS game for years, but very sporadically. Yet I've always loved it. The interface is perfect in that it doesnt provide cheats or shortcuts, but does help to keep track of things that are otherwise not the fun part of solving a sudoku (for instance removing all the scratch notes for a digit once you've solved something that eliminates the possibility of them being in other squares.

Lately I have been playing more and I had the urge to try different tile sets. And for the first time playing this game I experienced an ad (I think they normally only play after you have won a game and then elect to start a new one... I'm usually too spent). The ad played and within 5 seconds the sudoku call game creators had it set to let me skip it. And get right back to playing.

Then it dawned on me how much I appreciated not getting ads thrown at me left and right, not having them interrupt me at any time during a game, and even on the rare occasions when they did play, being able to skip. Bought it immediately for $4.99. Too cheap. I wish I could show the developers my appreciation more. Add a tip jar! And thank you!

I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I really had to. I’ve had this app for a few years now, and it’s the only game that I’ve kept on my phone and used consistently. I have adhd, so my apps tend to have a a quicker turnover than normal. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ I also have a very painful chronic illness that keeps me bedridden in pain more days than it doesn’t these days sadly. When you have to deal with that amount of pain, with no real end to the suffering in sight, you have to find mindless, yet stimulating, low-impact activities to help distract your brain and body… at least enough so that you make it through. Your app has provided me with countless hours of entertainment/ distraction over the years, and I thank you so much for that. And thank you so much for taking the time to develop such a high quality, smart, seamless app. It has helped me tremendously. 🙏❤️

To all the people complaining about ads, especially those who have been playing for years… you do know that you can remove the ads for like $2, right? 🤣🤣

i’ve enjoyed this app and game for years and the only thing that could make it better is to see how i match up against others, or if they could list a highest possible score just to know where we stand.
They nailed the colors and look years ago and i’m so happy they haven’t messed with success. i’ve tried others, but this one is just right for me - and it seems 508,000 others enjoy it as well. One day i’ll go for the paid version, but i keep this one because of the ads and feel like the developer probably makes more regular income this way. Nobody likes ads, but when i grew up that’s all there was in tv and that was the time we took a break.
Enjoy the game and it’s levels. i normally play level “Hard” and my highest score so far is 59,669
Scoring is interesting and the plan is to finish off boxes and lines, filling in voids one at a time doesn’t score well and you’ll probably remain around the 40,000’s vs the 50,000’s in level “Hard” without a good strategy
