I would very much appreciate being able to play this again. Additionally, it’s be great if there was more than just one personal highest score. It’d be nice to have a top ten personal best games to try to beat. ### 4/5 — Update app? *2021-06-24, version 1.1* Hey there!! Have been enjoying this game for YEARS!!!! All of a sudden it’s stopped working and claiming developer needs to update app. Will this ever happen????? ### 4/5 — Needs update by developers *2021-04-30, version 1.1* I have enjoyed this game better then any other 2048. The colors were bright and the movement was smooth. We paid extra for no advertising. I used it a lot while listening to podcast because I could move it fairly mindlessly and was able to concentrate better to what I was listening to. I miss it so much since latest system update said the App needs developer to update for it to work. ### 2/5 — Keeps kick me off *2020-10-07, version 1.1* Like the app but now it’s kicking me out and won’t open. ### 5/5 — Not Working with new OS *2020-09-27, version 1.1* Loved this game but does not work with OS 14 ### 4/5 — Hacked score *2020-04-18, version 1.1* Great game it is just a shame the leaderboard has been hacked. Difficult to believe that the high scores send up with odd numbers when we only play with 2 & 4s ### 3/5 — New version keeps crashing *2019-04-04, version 1.1* Love it otherwise ### 5/5 — Easier Than 2048 6x6x6 *2018-06-21, version 1.1* It Is Much Easier But Easier Than 2048 The Crash Makes Gold Of 4096 To 69K Is Easy ### 2/5 — Poor response of an iPad update *2018-05-26, version 1.1* Works great on my phone but iPad version stops ever 20 seconds or 45 seconds ### 4/5 — Fun and addicting *2018-02-08, version 1.1* Love it, the colors are ugly but whatever. I would suggest an option to get rid of a few tiles before you're about to lose. Kind of like we have 3 try's to get rid of some tiles before we lose and then after we use all our tries then we can buy more. Something like that. ### 4/5 — Ok so *2017-11-20, version 1.1* Here’s my review. This game is nice, as a player of 2048 I do like this second version in 5x5. However, I have some ideas about things that could possibly be changed. First, the app logo is quite unoriginal and not very appealing. It would be nice if there would be something similar to the original game but in its own way, in a way it is both differentiated from 2048 itself, and unique as well, without going too far from its theme, you see? Also, I am sorry but the colours are very, very disturbing. If you could change them for better, suiting ones, it would be awesome. Thank you ### 3/5 — keeps crashing - pls fix *2017-09-27, version 1.1* the latest version keeps crashing ### 5/5 — I need undo *2017-08-19, version 1.1* Tu Do, I need undo in this game. I want to make highest tile easily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can't play *2025-09-17, version 1.1* Update the APP ### 1/5 — Ugh *2021-11-25, version 1.1* I HATE THIS GAME IT NEEDS A UPDATE AND ITS TAKING SO LONG ### 1/5 — Crashes every 5-8 moves *2021-03-29, version 1.1* I used to love this game but have been away from it for a while. Now it’s crashing with every handful of moves. Most disconcerting. ### 1/5 — Crashes now *2019-08-17, version 1.1* Great brain exercise but broken. Maybe since hasn’t been updated in 4 or 5 years. ### 1/5 — Persistently switches itself off *2017-12-23, version 1.1* Extremely frustrating. Will not play again. Doesn’t even deserve the 1 star I seem to have to give as a minimum. ### 1/5 — How do you get original colors back? *2017-08-26, version 1.1* I need help to get original colors back! I hate that color and sound! ### 1/5 — Keep kicking me out *2017-08-07, version 1.1* When playing the game I couldn't go 10 seconds with out being kicked out of the app ### 1/5 — Crashes every minute or two *2016-03-04, version 1.1* Had to delete this game, crashes way too often! ### 1/5 — So many pop ups. *2016-01-17, version 1.1* I originally loved this game. I would play it as a way to calm my brain before I slept. Now I can't play it for more than a minute without some pop up or the game slowing down to the point of being unusable. I will check back if there are updates, but until then I'm done with this. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-12-24, version 1.1* It makes the 2048 game so boring because u can never lose!!! I tried to lose and it took me a long time...TO LOSE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!! *2026-07-22, version 1.1* I really want to download this app but it needs to be UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!! update this right NOWWWW! ### 5/5 — best 2048 game ever *2026-01-16, version 1.1* so smooth. no glitches. NO ADS. challenging at first then becomes an odd mix of exciting and soothing. 💜please update💜 I WOULD DEFINITELY PAY FOR THIS APP! ### 5/5 — Really fun !😋 *2025-12-23, version 1.1* Plus so far no ads ### 5/5 — Playing it for 9 years now! *2024-12-16, version 1.1* After 9 years I’m still a fan, however lately some stellar scores are being registered by some users out of nowhere. 2 users out of the blue posting ~190million highest scores days apart? Looks like someone has AI cracked it? Would be good to add a histogram to timeline users score - if it is Ai then it would be plain to see. If you don’t want to compete it’s a great game. ### 5/5 — This app needs to be updated by the developer. *2024-06-12, version 1.1* I love playing this game back in 2015 and this app needs to be updated. ### 5/5 — This app needs to be updated by developer. *2024-06-11* I love playing this game back in 2015 and this app needs to be updated. ### 5/5 — 2048 *2022-07-22, version 1.1* An addictive brain storming game that certainly can do with some tweaking to transform it into a more challengeable gamd to entice players to think harder and quicker. Otherwise. Great enjoyable game ### 5/5 — Please update this app!!! *2022-01-24, version 1.1* This is my favorite app of all time, and I feel lost since I can’t use it anymore since the recent iOS updates have rendered it unusable. Please update this as soon as possible. I would gladly pay for an updated version. There are many like me who would do the same! ### 5/5 — Goingon *2021-10-08, version 1.1* Great and very addictive but the more you play the better it gets ### 5/5 — Please fix this app *2021-05-05, version 1.1* This is hands down my favorite app. It is fun and great for stress relief. In the last few weeks it says that it needs to be updated by the developer. Please update. I would be willing to pay for this app because it is that good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
