Microsoft Sudoku

sometime in the last 2 weeks something changed in the free version. game will lock up and sometimes come back but often throws you out and you have to start the puzzle over. I love Sudoku but it looks like I may have to go back to paper to be able to play. I just finished an expert puzzle in under 6 minutes, but the game thru me out and lost the score. This has been happening way to many times every day..... And, yes I did try uninstall/install but the problem persists..

The daily challenges are challenging but quick. I like the variations. The only thing that would make it better would be to make games like the irregular houses or symbols like in the challenges available for regular play.

Ads are In the way of the board on challenges! They were my favorite things to play. Wasn't like this a few weeks ago. A fix would be appreciated. Look at all the complaints! We love your game but you are making it where we can't play it.

Update - 8/1/2017 - Ads are killing this game. Fix them or ditch them! Update - 1/24/2017 - After you launch it, it dies within about 10 seconds. Seriously, do you guys QA your code at all before unleashing it on unsuspecting user, forcefully? Update - 4/20/2016 - Thanks for correcting the ad issue. The game is back to normal now. Rating back to 5 stars. Update - 4/11/2016. Changing my rating to 1 star. This ad issue has been going on for over 2 months. Do the developers even monitor the ratings? Probably not, based on the lack of a fix. Maybe a squeaky wheel 1 star will get their attention. This is on Windows 10, if it makes a difference. 3/16/2016 - This is an entertaining and addictive game. However, there is currently an issue that was recently introduced in which the top 2 right hand squares are overlaid with an advertisement, making it impossible to see the contents of those squares or place an object in them. Please correct this. Surprised it made it through QA.

Ads cover the top corner of playing board. Makes it impossible to complete puzzle or to finish challenges

I used to prefer this game to other Judoka games, but the problems with ads freezing the game (and dumping me out) have become intolerable. I am going to have to find new sudden and jigsaw games. Then games have little ads on the gam layout & it seems that changing ads causes he game to freeze. Thos problem has gotten progressively worse. It is now impossible to do the daily challenges as it dumps you out before you complete the puzzle-losing all progress. Beyond annoying; it hies become unplayable.
