Super glitchy!! So many times it won't start up! And then when it does if you get a phone call in middle or a notification on my phone it automatically instead of pausing it makes you lose! It's glitchy so it doesn't register moves and does moves you don't intend because of lag etc. The standard 2048 is smooth like butter no reason why this should not be Fix the glitches and you got a winner over here ### 2/5 — Don't waste your $ *2016-04-09, version 3.6* The game is fun and the idea of it has a lot of potential. It's an unfinished product. Half the time after a game it takes 10 minutes to send the data and even if it does that there are issues with receiving the information of the person I am competing against, which leaves game in limbo. The fact they would published an unfinished game for money is rubbish. ### 3/5 — Cool but super not cool *2016-03-30, version 3.6* I love 2048 so when I saw this I was super excited and at first it was fun however, after finishing a round the app would short out and not give me my earnings or it would say I won and still deduct my my tokens and the earnings I was supposed to get as if I lost. The idea is super awesome but it would be even more awesome if the app worked. ### 1/5 — Scam *2016-03-12, version 3.4* In order to cash out your winnings, they ask you to verify your identity by scanning and emailing a photo ID. Obviously a scam. Their mailing address is in Malta. To cash in, I was able to use PayPal no problem and assumed cashing out would be the same, but alas this is a scam. The App Store should remove this app from the store. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2016-03-06, version 3.4* Please don't get this game. I played 2048 and loved it and always wanted to play against other people in an app like this. But trust me, it's not worth it. Its a bad version of 2048 that is glitchy and makes you lose a ton of money if you invest it. It also asks for a bunch of personal information that shouldn't be given out to an app like this. Tread with caution if you get this app. ### 3/5 — Good game *2016-03-02, version 3.2* The people who thought to make 2048 into a gambling game are geniuses and I commend you for it. The game it's self works well and is completely legit. I have both deposited and withdrawn money fairly smoothly. However I think the app needs a pretty big update as it has a lot of bugs like random double swiping, games ending for no reason, and money from won games taking up to hours to be credited into your account. Overall it's a good game but has some minor issues. ### 1/5 — Are there negative stars? *2016-02-28, version 3.2* Doesn't work, lucky I just played on the free play for a while, but games all of a sudden stop and give you low easily beat scores, finally got to 11,000 and suddenly the server was unreachable and I got 987, so yeah I'm done. ### 2/5 — Very glitchy *2016-02-27, version 3.2* Sometimes games stop with time still left. Sometime games don't start at all, though you've placed your money. Also, the gameplay is different than the original game... Sometimes one swipe will move and collapse the tiles like you've swiped twice. Ruins the strategy. ### 1/5 — Clever scam *2016-01-28, version 3.1* 1. Game cheats and double swipes at random times. 2. Falsely written app reviews to make game seem better. 3. Extremely hard process to cash out if you are lucky enough to actually win. 4. Gives you 5 minutes to complete 2048 puzzle for a chance to win against another person. 5. The rate you have to swipe is so fast it is nearly impossible to complete in the allotted time. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2016-01-19, version 3.1* The concept of betting money on a small game is interesting, hard to score the 2048 tile in such a short time but the money effect make the entire experience stimulating. ### 1/5 — Please Read This. Warning Against This App *2016-01-18, version 3.1* I really hope that people read reviews before buying apps because I didn't and I paid for it. This app is a scam and I'm telling you to not get it. You play a round of 2048 and suddenly the game stops and you're told that you've lost. Well, that would be fine but you placed a bet for the game and now you've lost money without even losing the round! The app's customer support is horrible. They don't respond or respond with flippant responses. As appealing it might seem that you can win money playing 2048, don't get this horrible excuse for an app. It's a blatant scam. I hope Apple takes appropriate action against them. ### 1/5 — Dont even bother unless you can score over 12k *2016-01-15, version 3.1* So yeah this app is a scam. Go ahead and try it, i put 10$ down just to try lol. And yeah you can only cash out with 10$ in your account so after one round of loosing i wanted to cash out but couldnt, they also charge like 7¢ every game so if you pay with 10$ you only get 9 games (thats if you loose themall) everytime i played people have been scoring insanity high scores like 10K, 12k and just BS scores but hey if you like throwing money down a drain this is definitely the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2019-02-20, version 4.1* Game doesn’t load, just shows the puzzle piece loading screen indefinitely. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even load *2018-12-11, version 4.1* I’ve downloaded this app a few hours ago and it’s just loading won’t even go to anything ### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense/scam *2018-07-16, version 4.1* Doesn’t make sense bc u have to use real money - $20 to play to get only $2 in the game! I wouldn’t download this app. I read the reviews and all but I just wanted to try it out and check it out for myself. Turns out, all of the reviews were right. So don’t download it unless u want to waste it. ### 1/5 — Scam *2017-12-09, version 4.1* This app is a scam. Added money to my account now I cannot get it back because it says the app is under maintenance. ### 1/5 — Under Maintenance *2017-08-11, version 4.1* This app has been under maintenance for months. ### 1/5 — Scam *2016-08-01, version 4.1* I never leave a review for any app, but now I just forced to. Before playing this game I read a lot of negative reviews, but I thought that maybe I would be lucky and earn extra money. I was so wrong. I put in this app $20, cause I was sure I would win, as I so good in this game. I was right, I won and the won amount was $110. it was 5 months ago, and I am still not able to cash out. I emailed customer support many times(more then 10), I received response that my money are sent to my credit Card. As I told already it was 4 months ago:) It was a really good idea with this game and I hope one day some developers will create the same but REAL game. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Waste of Time & Money *2016-06-14, version 4.0* Where do I even begin? While I love the game and the concept of this app was intriguing, I should have followed my gut and just stayed away. It seems harmless enough but the organization and layout of the game is unclear and analog. When I earned back my original amount and decided to cash out, the trouble started. They asked for a photo of my ID which was fishy. Then said the refund would be issued but lo and behold more than 2 months later.... nothing. During which I reached back out to them 2-3 times. Staff seemed helpful enough and while they said it was processing and whatnot, I highly doubt it. Frustrating that the only way to get in touch is email and not by phone. Hard to tell if I've ever been talking to a real person thus far. Long story short, ill-designed app where you will NOT be getting your money back. ### 1/5 — Very unresponsive and slow compared to original *2016-04-13, version 3.6* Hate it, this is my first review the App Store so I can o my day that this poor game design, UE and interface gave me the push towards making a review. Stick with the original and forget about cashing in your skills at 2048 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-04-02, version 3.6* Scam, scam, scam. It always pairs you up against "someone" who has a higher score than you - they set you up to lose. If you do find a way to rack up some money, it's near impossible to cash out. They ask for some form of identification to prove you're over 18. Not only do they do this, but then they ask for pictures of your credit card. COMPLETE SCAM, DO NOT EVEN TRY IT OUT. I would give 0 stars if possible. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever. *2016-03-18, version 3.5* Loved the regular 2048 so thought I would try this. Terrible idea. You have to sign up to play with money and then it just loads forever. Not sure if there just aren't enough people to play against but I lost $6 just giving up waiting for the game to load, not even playing. Don't waste your money!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — good game *2018-01-28, version 4.1* good game ### 5/5 — If you like 2048 this is for you. *2016-04-17, version 4.0* Much better UI.

Helpful support staff. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2016-04-16, version 4.0* Well done on this version . Haven't played for real money but the free play is outstanding. The only criticism I can offer is the latency in the match making. ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-03-12, version 3.4* Has a few glitches, but you actually get real money if you win. ### 5/5 — Very good ! *2016-03-07, version 3.4* I played 2048 and loved it and always wanted to play against other people in an app like this.
