Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Revenue comes from in-game items and microtransactions, which our price-based model doesn't estimate.

Each storefront's own ratings counter and average — separate, overlapping audiences, never added together.
14 of 15 markets; the rest gave no counter or aren't reached yet, not markets where nobody rated it.

Stats
How fast this game is gaining ratings — the activity signal available where a store publishes no sales or install numbers.
Measured from our own daily snapshots, not reported by the store. Deliberately not converted into sales: a one-tap rating's ratio to copies sold is unknown on this platform, and guessing it would be worse than leaving it out.
Sums Google Play only; App Store publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Sudoku The sudoku interface is not intuitive or consistent. As a player of sudoku using many apps I can tell you what makes your interface more difficult to use. When a ‘normal’ number is entered and it is a candidate in that number’s row, column or square, it should be deleted as a candidate. Most other apps work this way, which eliminates extra work and more chances to make errors. If the developers played other sudoku games, they could see how your interface is lacking in this regard. In addition, there are two ways a player is notified when an error is made: a red dot is put in the erroneous box or the error counter is incremented. If the error counter is not checked visually after every move, a player can easily make several moves before noticing a wrong one has been made, which may result in being unable to solve the puzzle. I hope this helps to improve your version of sudoku to the level of your other games. Thanks!
Too Woke I have noticed an increase in the number of woke references, such as LGBTQ and AOC. Since you are raising these issues and names in your clues, I assume the creators are woke as well. This is a turn off for many Americans who are awake but not woke.
Enticing. Love the challenges
Sellouts Been playing these games for years for free, and they added a pay wall subscription.
Change the connections back change the connections to it’s original position, this was so stupid it’s in such an awkward spot.
Nonexistent words; colloquialisms More recent crossword puzzles of all sizes using made up words like “emend” and colloquialisms not universally known. STOP IT! Start vetting your creators a little better.
Hello fellow adult hooman beings I too am a adult hooman being and not a dog grr woof woof I mean yum I sure could use some coffee right now and also I hate children
Glitchy The games are great but the app is glitchy and poorly administered. The games take a long time to load. Sometimes I cannot even access them due to subscription notifications and I have to restart my phone.
Crossword It’s fun. Please stop asking me to rate.
Uncloseable windows Hints do not work now and any window open within games isn’t closeable. Been happening for weeks for Me. Please fix it and I’ll change my rating.
