Not Evil Sudoku

I’ve tried many sudoku apps, and this is the best one I’ve found! It has a simple-to-navigate display, helpful game features, and just a cool design in general. There are no ads and no selling of data, which is a huge plus! Of course, this means to unlock all the features of the game and unlimited games daily you will need to make a one-time purchase. I personally feel that one game per day is enough to practice and to have fun with, just like Wordle or any other daily habit, but unlimited games is definitely a huge plus for other free sudoku apps. It’s up to you whether to make the purchase or not, but I think it’s worth it due to it’s features, design style, and simplicity. Overall, good game and worth the time and the optional purchase. If you’re looking for a simple and fun sudoku app, you’ve come to the right place!

I really love this app - I’ve been using the free version for a few months now. The one puzzle per day didn’t bother me so much as I’m not an avid sudoku player, I only do one puzzle before bed usually. No ads is STELLAR (wish/hope more phone games are like this). I also really appreciate the different levels of difficulty and various customizable features like turning on/off the number highlights. I never felt particularly good at sudoku when I was young (I hadn’t picked up sudoku in a decade!!) but the way this app is structured has helped me learn new strategies & increase the challenge based on what settings I use. Less important but this app works in dark mode settings which just adds to my contentment. I just paid the one time $5 for the upgraded version (to support the developer) and am curious to try the features that unlocks too.

I love this app, it is certainly the best app i’ve ever found. Aside from the simple to navigate UI, minimalism, and the rick roll banner ad (I totally fell for it)- the statistics is something that any sudoku nerd needs. Seriously, I’ve deleted my other sudoku apps. My only complaint is how the notes work. I’d like it to be more traditional, like put them in the typical order and spaces. I find the notes function hard to use since it’s a lot of visual information that’s hard to quickly read. With me at least, I don’t rely on reading the numbers themselves, but rather reading the location I expect them to be in, and find patterns/answers from there. Also, you can’t put more than 4 notes in it, which makes it kind of useless for me. As I start playing harder levels, I’d like it to use the notes, but don’t with this app. If others like the way it is now, perhaps putting in a way to toggle which notes version they prefer. I have never left a written review for an app, but I really love this one, so I’m invested in making it perfect and if the devs changed this one thing, I’d be over the moon. Either way, this is still going to be the only sudoku app I’ll use.
