Ratings and reviews

I want to rate it higher, but it needs attention and they don't seem to be fixing things. Biggest issue for me is how the previous challenges are suddenly gone as soon as we cross into a new month. It's very frustrating for keeping a perfect record going. A new issue has started that uninstalling and reinstalling, or wiping data/cache doesn't fix... the date selector at the bottom for challenges always jumps to the end, so it's very annoying to scroll back to any date.

Very straight forward game of sudoku. Offers some basic customizeable options such as adjusting music level, sound effects, etc... if I had to change a couple of things it would def be to REMOVE ADS and to add more soundtracks since there is only one in the game that can be more on the repetetive and annoying side(which is why i turned it off) but overall the app is great.

They changed something in their subscription model and now I get ads, even though the app knows I have a subscription. Customer service was 0 help, giving suggestions that were dumb, didn't apply to my device, or were unhelpful. You would think Microsoft would be smart about updating their apps, but they are actually worse than the other developers I have dealt with.
