Killer Sudoku by Sudoku.com App Reviews

Would like automatic notes feature

Of sudoku and sums. Beware. I’ve played this more than 1,000 times!

I’ve had this app for a long time and I go in phases of playing. Just started again and not sure I’ll continue on this app. So many ads! Feels like every couple numbers I get I have to watch an ad meant for a 5 year old. I’d recommend just finding a different sudoku app to fill your needs. Without ads - 4.6 stars

I love the gave and keeps my mind sharp but I have to say goodbye because my eyesight is not what it used to be. Thank for the great memories.

Love the game but WAY TOO MANY ads

But suddenly it is so EASY that I feel like I’m cheating, a horrible feeling

I have always loved doing crosswords, but when sudoku came out I have been hooked on it, and even more with Killer sodoku.👍

Whats up with all the daily puzzles without a single given number, 3 so far this month.

I love this game, it’s a great way to kill time. My only issue is that as of the last couple days, the sum(s) are wrong. I played a game that called for 2 (3)s in the same box. It’s made the game unplayable. I had completely finished the puzzle but it never registered as completed since it was calling for duplicate numbers in the same row or box. I don’t know of anyone else has had this happen to them but now it’s literally impossible to finish a puzzle & yes, I do know how to play the game.

Press and hold on the app and tap unlimited hints

I love the game, I’m 72 and it helps me keep my mind sharp. I don’t mind the ads between the games, but, having an ad pop up in the middle of the game breaks the flow of completing a number puzzle

I have purchased the ad free version and enjoying it.

I enjoy. Getting better at it. I play regular sudoku all the time so this has been a fun twist on it. Hated the ads. So well worth the premium cost.

I have purchased this app on my Android device, but unable to transfer to the Apple device. Certainly not willing to pay multiple times for the same app on the different devices. Otherwise love this app.

There are too many ads that pop up in the middle of a puzzle. Disrupts thought process and slows progression. Used to not be that way and was much more fun. That is why I seldom play any more. There needs to be a way to opt out of all those ads.

This is a fantastic app. It is the best killer soduku I have found. I play the purchased version, so no ads, sums are always there, etcetera. I don’t remember what the ad-free version cost, but it wasn’t much. I would like to be able to increase the size of the cage sums. They are so tiny that they are difficult to make out depending on how tired I am. Also, it would be great if stats would be added that include how fast you finished the game based on others.

This game is relaxing and enjoyable,

I really enjoy this as much, if not more, than the original. I don’t mind, and completely understand, the ticker ads and between games. One thing I cannot tolerate is an ad popping up in the middle of a game, not once, but twice. And I suspect if it had taken me longer to complete the game, I suspect I would have seen more. It throws off concentration and there are already enough ads!

Great game if you like numbers. There are many strategies. However, with the last update they started adding ads in the middle of puzzles. Very annoying and might be enough to make me quit.

Love this game! A step up from conventional Sudoku. Plus on daily challenges, they tell you how many could not complete it- a gauge on how difficult it will be.

II wish the expert level was a little harder. It’s not difficult compared to the killer sudoku puzzles you can find online.

Great brain training.

I love this game!!! ❤️❤️❤️. But I hate the ads in the middle of the game, I lose my train of thought every time. So, I’m deleting it. If you get rid of the ads in the middle of playing a game, I’ll down load again!!! VERY UNHSPPY

The game was much better before they added ads between completing squares or finding all of one number. It’s annoying to have your progress stopped while you wait for an ad to play.

I understand these companies need advertisements to pay for their games, but this is a game that is timed and requires the player to stick to their train of thought. There shouldn’t be multiple ads during the game. Ads in between games, although undesirable, are a necessary evil I guess. But during the game they are a hinderance to the player.

I really love sudoku but when I have to start guessing to get them right it’s no longer fun. Every time I get a single box correct on expert mode an advertisement pops up. Extremely annoying to deal with and throws a wrench in my train of thought.

I really liked this app until they started putting the ads into the play - having ads at the end of a game is fine but during the game not so much - don’t play this much any more since they started doing that

A Strawberry Shortcake ad has popped up. There is no way to exit out of this ad without exiting out of the app. It’s annoying enough having to put up with ads mid game, but now having to completely exit the app to be able to continue playing is ridiculous! Please delete the ad or fix it. And finding a nickname to post is nearly impossible! This is the 12th nickname I have tried! UPDATE-Killer Sudoku rectified the problem. I had a response back within a few days.

The game is well made and is very challenging at the expert level. I like that they sometimes tell me I’ve done a puzzle faster than x% of the people. But they just started sending one odd message - only 97.36% of select players were able to solve this level! Yay - I’m in the top 97%! Much smarter than the bottom 3%. They should change the scoring algorithm. I get a better score when I take longer. It seems it should be a combination of difficulty, speed and number of errors.

I really enjoy playing this. It’s very user friendly and offers a variety of difficulty levels for players of any skill level. I love the pastel color setting as it makes it a lot easier to differentiate the number group boundaries. It would be nice to have an option to make the numbers in the upper left corner bigger for those who have less acute vision- I have good vision but can barely make out the tiny numbers!

But the Strawberry Shortcake ad makes it impossible to play. Some of the other ads cause the game to freeze as well, but today the Strawberry Shortcake ad comes up repeatedly and it’s impossible to get past to play the game. I’ll have to exit and restart the app several times before I can play.

Great and fun sudoku!

I love this game. It’s much more fun than regular Sudoku which is just what I need. Keeps my mind sharp especially as I age. Thanks for the challenge.

Too many ads interrupting games!!!!

I used to enjoy this game, mainly during the challenges because otherwise there are too few games available. An ad in between games is annoying but okay. However, there are now 2-5 ads within one game, the harder the game the more ads there are. I do not enjoy watching repetitive ads played so frequently. It used to be such a nice game, but no more.

The app is pretty good, but why did they implement ads for people who purchased the app? Now every time I go in, there is a ridiculous audio ad.

I love the game, but the screen freezes and when I reenter the game, a lot of the work I did disappears. That is, say when I leave the game and the time is 7:35 and a lot of spaces have numbers in them. When I return to the game, it might say 5:20 and a lot of empty spaces. Love to know how to fix.

I love killer sudoku, and I usually don’t mind ads. However, I find myself losing my train of thought when there are multiple ads in the middle of the game. I had to watch 3 ads to finish a game that was finished in 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

Fun and challenging game. I Play it everyday!!!

Just love the challenge of the daily puzzles, especially the hard and expert ones. The only negative about this game is that the side challenge games( anywhere from 12 hours to 10 days) are mostly easy and medium puzzles and not fun for adults

The only drawback is the numbers are too small

This is a great game but it’s very frustrating to not only get ads before and after you finish the puzzle but multiple times during the game . Get rid of the ads during the game .Update , deleted the game as much as I loved it . It’s just not worth the it when the ad time is more than the playing time .

Interruption very frequently to plat 30-45 second adds. Was a good game, but now because of the numerous adds.

I’ve been playing this game for a number of years and have enjoyed it tremendously. I can understand that having ads is necessary to allow us to play the game at no cost. However, recently these ads pop up a lot more often and in the middle of adding a number to the game. This happens while I have already tapped the screen but the ad comes on instead. This interrupts my train of thought and is very annoying to say the least. At times the screen goes blank for a while before the actual ad comes

This used to be my favorite challenging game, but lately ads are popping up several times during each game. Previously ads would only appear at the end of a game. Now it has become continuous and much too frustrating to continue playing.
