Least Evil Sudoku Ever

It takes a bit of customization to get the app tuned to your preferences. I personally recommend turning on Speed Demon (beta), >4 notes (forgetting the actual setting name) and fixed note positions - it is worth noting some of these are under settings > advanced. The number placement can be a little janky at times (speed demon helps a ton) but it’s perfectly functional. Honestly I’m just glad to have an app that isn’t bogged down by ads. The default experience is one game a day which is fair but you can pay 5 USD which permanently gives you unlimited games and more cosmetic tweaks - unlimited games alone makes it worth imo, the rest is icing. Dev, thank you for making this; I hope more devs follow in your footsteps of less evil monetization.

Good enough game

It’s sodoku. It’s good sodoku. That’s not what I’m complaining about. But calling it “Not evil” sodoku and the main point being no ads and acting like you’re better than the ones without ads is a step too far when you’re putting the puzzles behind a paywall. 10 hours is just too long in between sodoku puzzles, and I’d much rather just watch a 15 second ad instead. You could still get people to buy the pro version just for the stats, too. It’s not bad, but honestly I feel that acting like it’s better than any other free sodoku game that has ads is a lie.

Overall, great app.

I did come into this app knowing I'd purchase the upgrade if it worked well, as I'd rather support developers with transparent pricing/no tracking or ads. You might have a different experience if you're looking for a "truly free" app, as you are limited to one puzzle a day. I was really impressed! I love that it's possible to turn off assists and solve it like an old paper sudoku. The haptic feedback is a nice touch. I love that you can set your own daily puzzle notification time, since my sleep schedule is cursed. I'm happy with the difficulty. I've played a lot of sudoku where "medium" was a cakewalk, but these have been consistently challenging. It would be nice if I could track the number of mistakes I've made in puzzles over time. I'd also love to see a "warm" mode similar to other sudoku apps, or more variety in colors I can pick. I look forward to seeing any updates or new apps from this developer in the future!

Only 1 puzzle per day if you dont pay

You'd be better off with a different free app, this one limits you to one sudoku a day and you cant change the difficulty. Not very "not evil"
