Questions, answered.

Is Battle Sudoku free?

Yes. The full game is free. There are no ads and no trackers.

Does it work offline?

Solo mode works offline. Battle mode needs a network connection because the server arbitrates moves between both players.

Do I need an account?

Yes — a free account is needed to sync saves and to play Battle. Sign up with email; password reset and Face ID quick-sign-in are supported.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. Profile → Delete Account permanently removes your profile, friends, matches, statistics and uploaded photos within 24 hours.

What about my friends' privacy?

We don't read contacts. The only friend list is the one you build inside the app.

Which iOS versions are supported?

iOS 18 and later. iPhone and iPad.

Free · No ads · No trackers
