Sudoku.com - Number Games 4+

This is a great app - thank you! I play it almost daily, and it’s fun, challenging and thoroughly enjoyable.

The only suggestion I’d like to make is to get rid of the puzzles requiring “Bowman’s Bingo” to solve them. To my mind the Bowman’s Bingo “let’s assume” strategy is just guessing. You might as well “let’s assume” (ie “guess”) a number is correct and follow it to its conclusion one way or another. The guessing involved is irritating - I get to a certain point and don’t know if there’s a logical move I’ve missed, or if I’m now meant to “let’s assume”. The only way to know for certain is to check the hint, which I try to avoid doing.

The hint function is a fantastic way to learn the strategies. Thank you for this, as well as the game on the whole.

Hello! We have issued an update and we hope the problem with Bowman's Bingo strategy has been resolved. If you face any problems, please contact us at support@easybrain.com. We will try our best to help you out. 🙌

I didn’t mind the ads at first. One after each game that you could close quickly. Then it was one before or after. Then both. Then before and after EVERY puzzle. Then whenever you paused the game. Then after the first time you got all the spots for one number in each puzzle. Then each time you did that again if over 3 mins had passed since the last time it showed an ad due to that.

And over the course of that, it changed all of these ads from quick popups to ones you couldn’t close for 5 seconds, then to those ones where it either doesn’t show a button to skip it (and then takes you to a different ad screen to close it) until 15 seconds in, or didn’t show it at all unless you tapped the screen. And now they’re each slightly different ads for the same money-printing, zero-thought, zoomer-brand game.

While that’s understandably a deal-breaker for many, what finally killed this for me was the new UI update. Holy hell, I don’t know who’s on your UI team but bolded default font text on EVERYTHING is not a good look, especially when the text and numbers gets spaced out alongside it. And now when you fill in all of a number’s spots for the first time in a puzzle, it interrupts play to show a silly “good job!” emoji sticker in the middle of the screen for a few seconds. Before it cuts to the ad, naturally.

Congrats, guys, you finally convinced me to shop around for a different sudoku app.

Hi! We need ads to support and improve the game to stay free for everyone. You may skip an ad after 5 seconds: tap the cross-shaped/fast-forward button in the right/left upper/lower corner. You can disable all ads for a small one-time fee in Settings. If you can't skip an ad, please send a screenshot via the "Help" section in the app. We added popups and emojis for a new fresh look of the app. We will be analyzing our players' feedback about those features.

Open app, watch an add, start a game, watch an add, finish a number, watch an add, yea, every time you knock out a number, they play an add. Finish a game, watch an add, start a new game, watch an add.
<edit>
Latest set of ads full of bugs, 1 in 7 freeze, eventually crashing app. Just lost 30mins progress, not happy but recognise not directly dev’s fault.
<reply> Thanks Dev, well aware how ad supported apps work, and have dozens of payed apps, but I’m a firm believer in paying for well made apps, not paying simply to remove ads.
The game is good, simple and intuitive. The issue is not the ads themselves, simply how frequent they are shown and how they are placed.
Specifically, long add shown on placement of correct number, lost train of thought by the time it’s over.
Rating increased from 1 to 3 stars for 2 reasons, 1 for taking the time to reply to a critical review, should be commended, thank you (albeit scripted and missing the point, but points for trying)! And the other because the horrific onslaught of ads initially is a function of speed progressed through low levels. Once settled into longer games, it’s not 5 ads a minute, but original point remains, they interrupt train of though this gameplay.
Banner add at top or bottom of game board would work, cycle every minute or more, still gets eyes on it without interrupting.

Hello, thanks for your reply and evaluation! We understand your concern caused by the increased number of ads. We have recently changed it as all the apps are free and developing rapidly. They need more and more resources. We appreciate the feedback and will consider reducing the number of ads as it was before as soon as it will be possible. Thank you for your involvement!
