Comments on Classic Sudoku for Android

★★★★★ Michael Buck · Nov 8, 2023

I just finished puzzle #100. This is by far the best Sudoku app I've played. I didn't think I would notice a difference between handcrafted and computer generated puzzles, but after playing many different Sudoku apps I've found that this set of handcrafted puzzles are more fun, more challenging, and are also helpful with learning new techniques. I didn't really know how to solve harder Sudoku puzzles before this app. Now I've just completed puzzle #100 without hints.

★★★★★ Steven Wiberg · Dec 5, 2025

Great app. Loved the difficulty variety of the Sudoku. The tools given to solve them are great and make is easy to track all of your pencil marks and notes you need to solve. I just wish there were more than 100 puzzles as now I don't have anymore to solve.

★★★★★ Nigel Lim · Sep 6, 2025

The best classic sudoku app that I have used. I like the highlighting of both numbered and noted cells, the ability to enter notes in multiple cells and ability to use center and corner notes. Plus some quite tricky puzzles.

★☆☆☆☆ Ørnulv Bjertnes · Nov 6, 2024

I've fallen asleep while solving, only to wake up to the phone being dangerously warm, with the screen still on. (And battery drained.) While I see the usefulness of the game keeping the screen on while you're solving, a 30-minute timer to lock the screen would be nice, and safe. Great puzzles with almost all hints being correct.

★★☆☆☆ adrian51gray · Apr 1, 2023

The new UI is terrible. Now all the numbers are tiny and there is wasted space on the screen meaning I keep missing the buttons. There are also icons and buttons with very unclear meaning. Much prefer the older UI!

★★☆☆☆ Michael Peterson · Sep 19, 2025

Love the loaded games. But using the interface is NOT intuitive. Example: I turn on coloring the squares and fumble my way to actually coloring some of them. Hooray, right? Wrong. I swear there is absolutely no way to switch back out of coloring the squares! I've tried everything available on the interface, but no dice! WTH? And just you try to find any kind of tutorial on how to navigate this app. Hello? Instructions anyone? I really want to be able to use this thing but can't get help!

★☆☆☆☆ AJ Klein · Aug 29, 2025

The latest update broke drag to select multiple squares. Also, the sudoku list flashes and does not load on Pixel 10 Pro XL when the display is set to Standard Resolution. It does show properly when set to Max Resolution.
