I'd rather pay for the app. ### 3/5 — Adds *2026-08-10, version 5.2* I thought this said no adds but it has adds🙄😡 typical game ### 2/5 — Ads are unbearable *2026-07-22, version 5.2* Inappropriate full screen ads that can’t be closed easily ### 4/5 — It’s fun, but.. *2026-06-20, version 5.2* This game is addictive at the beginning, but I have a feeling something is missing.. The thing is we need bigger squares, like a 6x6, put this in the Settings. And make the max probably 15x15. Please! ### 3/5 — FIX THE TILE MOVEMENTS! *2026-06-06, version 5.2* I NEVER, EVER leave reviews. Yet, here I find myself, utterly inspired by RAGE! PLEASE fix the tile movements—I swipe relatively fast, and when I do, the tiles falsely move in a direction I did NOT swipe them in, causing me to completely mess up the board! This is an atrocity and is making me no longer enjoy the game. The original version of 2048 does NOT do this! PLEASE FIX SO I CAN PLAY PROPERLY ### 3/5 — Addicting and fun but…. *2026-05-08, version 5.2* $10 to remove adds? That’s crazy…I wanted to support the developer so downloaded this version…but it’s the most expensive one. No other features being added with that $10…just ads removed? Which by closing and opening the app can do for free? ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-01-17, version 5.1.5* Great challenge. ### 2/5 — Landscape - WHY NO UPDATES? *2026-01-11, version 5.1.5* Please make it so that I can play in landscape on my iPad. It is uncomfortable to play in portrait. I end up never playing on my iPad because of this. I’m hoping it is not a big deal. Most games allow you to play in landscape, and I’m surprised frankly that your expensive game does not. Why aren’t you updating like all the other games do???? ### 5/5 — Ahegdudjeing for the game “2048” *2026-01-08, version 5.1.5* Ahegdudje is when you always think reality is suspicious but fun! ### 5/5 — idk *2025-12-20, version 5.1.5* good ### 2/5 — Ads between every game *2025-12-18, version 5.1.5* Good luck if you’re not good enough to get past the 256 block. ### 3/5 — Hate the ads *2025-11-16, version 5.1.5* Love the game. Hate the ads. I would pay for ad free version. Also, I miss the ability to undo unlimited moves going back as far as you want ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-10-26, version 5.1.5* Cool ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — undo button doesn't work *2026-05-16, version 5.2* sometimes the undo button doesn't work when i press it. ### 1/5 — I’m trapped into having this game *2026-05-14, version 5.2* I just want to play 2048, and I would gladly pay to have it, but instead it’s supposedly free. Now I get trapped into playing other games when I’m trying to play 2048. I finally got out and deleted your version of 2048. I can’t imagine ever downloading another of your games. This is the worst game playing experience I’ve ever had. ### 1/5 — Horrible ads *2026-02-27, version 5.1.5* Played one game, had fun, got an unskippable game ad that forces you to play for who knows how long and can't skip. Oh brother this app stinks! ### 1/5 — boring *2026-02-25, version 5.1.5* Boring no more color choices, should. Be more like block blast ### 1/5 — Cannot open game *2026-01-27, version 5.1.5* Game won’t open. Stuck on “creating account” screen, probably bc I disable cellular data for all my games. Why the heck do I need to create an account to play 2048? That’s dumb. ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads *2025-12-29, version 5.1.5* Deleted after 10 mins of pmay. I Could not figure out how to exit the ads that show up after the conclusion of each game ### 1/5 — Same worthless 2048 app *2025-10-04, version 5.1.5* Exactly same issue reported for another app. You can play one game, then you are forced to play a demo of one game and to install another app. No option of playing another game. Also I find it annoying with all noises and some moves I didn’t make were executed. Bah. ### 1/5 — don't work on ios15.2 *2025-09-27* don't work on ios15.2 after update. That sucks! The only game on smartphone I play. **Developer response:** Sure it does. Contact us direct for support. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work correct on iPad *2025-09-14, version 5.1.4* I need to close and reopen if I have a game over. I can’t simply restart the game ### 1/5 — I love it but *2025-06-19, version 5.1.3* I dislike how other games are pushed on me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-07-30, version 5.2* Very cool game ### 5/5 — Please no ads *2026-06-29, version 5.2* Can I please give you money so I don’t have to watch any more ads, lol? I really enjoy this game! I’ve now had 2 chances to go for 4096. I will get there! ### 5/5 — Very simple game but lacks any sort of soul or polish *2026-06-22, version 5.2* Good fun little game, bt feels like a “vibe coded” project before vibe coding was a thing. Theres so much potential missed here and is lacking basic things and just “quirks” thats simply annoying: - Game center integration - Undo more than once, even in the paid version - lack of color of the tiles, specially as you reach higher and higher numbers. I saw yellow all the way through to 2048 - alongside, the sound design is such trash. To start theres no music at all, n If you merge higher and higher tiles, the sound should match accordingly n be more exiting. - dont get me started with the animations and the complete lack of art design or creativity oof Like when i hit 2048 i had the most underwhelming experience from a game ive had in a while Im saying all this as a dev myself cuz i love it and want to see it do better. Or am i not talking to the original dev, n its just some sop game copying publisher from some third world with only focus of making money? ### 5/5 — All time *2026-06-18, version 5.2* Love this game been playing it for years Undo ability makes it fun What's everyone's highest tile ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-05-23, version 5.2* Very cool game ### 5/5 — Five stars *2026-05-16, version 5.2* Honestly, it is very calming and I recommend it for everyone ### 5/5 — . *2026-05-08, version 5.2* I wish you had the same buttons to remove and swap tiles like on the webpage, but overall I love the game. ### 5/5 — 💕❤️ *2026-04-25, version 5.2* I love this game it’s so fun and easy to get ### 5/5 — Why I like this game. *2026-04-14, version 5.2* I have a lot of fun with this game and I’m very experienced at this game. ### 5/5 — A classic that is still being updated *2026-03-23, version 5.2* I love the new features Gabriele! It's nice to see a solid mobile game done tastefully and still being worked on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
