### 3/5 — Dark mode

*2026-08-19, version 4.0.7*

Dark mode would be great please!!

### 4/5 — Mute

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.7*

Should have an option to mute

### 2/5 — Crash and lost high score

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.7*

There isn’t much to this game, you could use AI to create your own. I was playing my second game, it crashed, and it reset to the game I continued over an hour ago losing 1+ hour of play and my high score.

### 4/5 — Ads are annoying

*2026-08-10, version 4.0.6*

Game is good buts ads are next level annoying

### 4/5 — Gemma -

*2026-07-31, version 4.0.5*

Ts a good game if you don’t won’t anything to social.

### 4/5 — 2048

*2026-07-29, version 4.0.5*

Good please more ads and more levels

### 3/5 — Ads seem to bug it down?!

*2026-07-29, version 4.0.4*

A recent change causes it to almost grind down to a halt. Seems related to the ads. 
Very annoying. Pretty much brings my iPhone 13 down...
I need to leave mid-game.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2026-07-27, version 4.0.4*

How this is even possible?! If there is only one possibility for having some sort of special option that will cause that you lose the game, this app makes that happen. I am in an exact situation right now and I would like to attach the screenshot of it, but I am afraid that is not possible. Can you please talk to your developers (if any) ?! Thanks a lot for your unbelievable game.

### 1/5 — Ads slow game to a crawl

*2026-07-24, version 4.0.4*

Video ad banner at bottom causes game to lag. Not worth it. Used to be a nest game once upon a time. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Update sucks

*2026-07-21, version 4.0.4*

I’ve played the game for years but the lag time on the new update is embarrassing

### 1/5 — 2,4,6,8,10

*2026-07-20, version 4.0.4*

1 out of5

### 3/5 — Good but scores don’t t save

*2026-07-15, version 4.0.4*

Long term user of this amazing game however my high scores aren’t saving no longer saving/updating which makes me not want to  play anymore

### 1/5 — Background music

*2026-07-13, version 4.0.4*

Background music will not stop playing from ADS

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I paid for no ads but ads still come

*2026-08-24, version 4.0.8*

????

### 1/5 — Great but made lame

*2026-08-18, version 4.0.7*

Best game on this handheld super computer but quite obviously it’s ran by greedy advertisement grubbers. I’ll always close the app before you show me an ad. Ad lads you are wasting money.

### 1/5 — basics

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.7*

The game is great. It’s a basic game. Why is there an ad after every single match? And why is it $8 to go ad free? $1 max

### 1/5 — Ads are loud even when game is on mute

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.7*

Trying to play a quiet game, have game on mute but at the end of a game it sends you straight to an Ad that blasts at full volume. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Terrible experience!

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.7*

Had enjoyed the app for years, but it becomes too clumsy to play and consumes too much battery, disappointed :(

### 1/5 — Undo button

*2026-08-14, version 4.0.7*

What happened to the undo button?

### 1/5 — propagandas lagando o jogo

*2026-08-12*

as propagandas que possuem vídeo/animação travam o jogo e fica impossível jogar

### 1/5 — Vício

*2026-08-12*

Nao consigo mais trabalhar

### 1/5 — Ads that do not end

*2026-08-05, version 4.0.6*

This game never had ads on android. Now there are ads at the end of a lost game that you can’t exit out of even after they have run their corse. All I can do is force quit and launch it again. Looking for another version of this game

### 1/5 — 🤷‍♂️

*2026-07-29, version 4.0.5*

Was good. Asked for my age. Deleted.

### 5/5 — To the app creators,

*2026-08-24, version 4.0.8*

Will you do, on this app, on the year, 2048? Please spread this message around everywhere so its noticed.

### 5/5 — What are you supposed to do in this game

*2026-08-15, version 4.0.7*

The game is super fun for a math class and it is really fun to play with your classmates and you’re classmates that aren’t your friends thay  will become your friends because they will be nicer than they were

### 5/5 — I like the relaxing games that make me feel relaxed when I’m playing them

*2026-08-13, version 4.0.7*

5/5

### 5/5 — WONDERFULLY GREAT

*2026-08-04, version 4.0.6*

Amazing download now👆👆👆👆👆👆
And Nyan Cat

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-08-03, version 4.0.6*

This game is ok

### 5/5 — 16384 tile problem with iPhone 7 iOS 11

*2026-08-01, version 4.0.5*

The game causes me to run out of room when I try to get the 16384 tile.  I understand that the tile is hard to get but if I'm using a good strategy, the board should have enough room to get me to the 16384 tile.  I want this to be fixed in the next update.  It's really annoying.  I've contacted you guys on twitter and you don't answer.

### 5/5 — Why do people have a problem with the ads

*2026-07-22, version 4.0.4*

It’s a no internet game so you only need to watch ads if you want to support them. It’s a polished well made game with fun sounds what more could you ask?

### 5/5 — bestgameever!!

*2026-07-13, version 4.0.4*

Oh gosh this really is an amazing game. Like someone else mentioned, I to play before bed and wish it had dark mode. Other than that, best game ever!! I play every day and am hooked

### 5/5 — 11/10

*2026-07-12, version 4.0.4*

This game is awesome. My boyfriend and I love to battle on this game. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Fix the glitches

*2026-07-10, version 4.0.4*

Always loved this app til it started seizing up
