It states that you can disable them, but nowhere in the app is that available. ### 3/5 — No Videos???? *2022-06-07, version 2.2.14* There are no videos available to discard a card to continue. If you’re or going to have the discard feature on them, why do you have it there. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! Mozartmama ### 3/5 — Disappointing Update *2022-03-05, version 2.2.14* Disappointed in the update that happened about a week ago. I used to make it pass a million points, now I haven’t made it past 10k! ### 2/5 — Frequency of Ads way too high *2020-09-02, version 1.2.4* Ads are a part of free game play, acknowledged. The ads in this game make it boring though. They’re popping up every few seconds, so it feels like literally half of the experience is waiting for ads to finish. It’d be like watching tv and a commercial played every 30 seconds. Very disruptive. ### 2/5 — Changes!! *2020-01-05, version 1.2.4* Apparently there was an update and it wasn’t for the better. The game is 4096 and I’m on level 5 and haven’t seen anything higher than 512. It’s boring now. ### 3/5 — I love it (2 suggestions) *2019-12-30, version 1.2.3* I love it it’s really nice but I feel like you should consider sound I think it would bring out the effects more also to many adds every time you level there’s an ad but the app is still pretty good ### 3/5 — Great game killed by too many ads *2019-04-30, version 1.1.2* I absolutely love the concept and challenge, but momentum is broken by an ad popping up after every level, after selecting a clear all, or discard. It would be worth paying for a premium version. Until then, it’s a hard no for me. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2019-03-21, version 1.1.1* This is a great game... too many ads. I see in the App Store you have an in ad purchase for no ads but I can’t find it. ### 2/5 — No instructions *2019-03-20, version 1.1.1* Impossible when you don’t understand the goal of the game. Nothing in the download describes what to do. ### 2/5 — Complaint *2019-03-18, version 1.1.1* TOO MANY ADS!! You make 5 plays & get a 30 second ad. Again & again. I really enjoy the game but can't waste all that time. Should limit the ads & cut down on the 30 second ones. Sorry but I'm passing this information on to my friends. Spend more time on ads as the game. ### 3/5 — Too many adds *2019-03-13, version 1.1.1* Too many ads and no instructions for how to get more points and further along. Could be really fun. Great concept ### 2/5 — Fun but ads ads and more ads *2019-03-05, version 1.1.1* I know the ads make money, but there could be an option to purchase no ads. Otherwise, this game is a lot of fun. ### 2/5 — Fun with numbers *2019-03-04, version 1.1.1* I never thought I’d have fun with numbers. This is made it more fun to do math! However well it is really fun, there are WAY, WAY too many adds. ### 3/5 — Ads *2019-03-03, version 1.1.1* Even to be a free game, there are WAY too many ads. Every time you level up, which is about every 2-3 minutes, there’s a 30 second ad. It’s kind of ridiculous. I like the game, but I’m going to delete it due to the myriad of advertisements. ### 3/5 — Ads *2019-01-12, version 1.1.0* Love the game but way too many ads. I may delete the game and find something else similar. ### 2/5 — Merge match *2019-01-04, version 1.1.0* I just don’t load “ad apps” from a game with too many ads—no downloads and advertisers go away we expect ads in “free” games but when there is more time for ads than time to play game, it’s BS especially on such a great game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2019-05-25, version 1.1.4* Do NOT download! This game plays an ad every 5-10 seconds. That’s not even an exaggeration, I literally counted. I’m not sure if it’s in relation to the level up or if they’ve just selected to play ads every 5-10 seconds. Either way, it’s ridiculous. I get that they get paid for ads but you can’t even enjoy the game with all the ads that are played. I downloaded the game and deleted it within the span of 3 minutes because the ads were ridiculous. I’m not sure how I feel about the game because most of my time was spent watching the ads and not playing the game. Don’t waste your time with this one. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2019-04-15, version 1.1.1* Too many ads and its driving me insane. It would be a better game without all those ads every time you level up. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2019-03-25, version 1.1.1* There's an ad every 10secs, and you need to watch a bunch of ads in order to get past 5 mins of this game Not enjoyable, very annoying ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2019-03-23, version 1.1.1* When you spend more time watching ads than playing the game, I quickly delete awful games like this one. What a waste of time. I want to give it zero stars. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2019-03-17, version 1.1.1* When there’s a 30-second ad after EVERY level, you end up spending more time watching ads than actually playing. No thank you. ### 1/5 — The adds are horrible *2019-03-14, version 1.1.1* The adds just pause and you have to reopen the app up to get rid of the add, and to play the game again, with them playing every 30 seconds, you can’t play the game. ### 1/5 — Good game with too many ads *2019-01-02, version 1.1.0* I was enjoying the game until I ran into 10 ads in less then 5 minutes .. I know you guys are trying to get paid ... but not like this guys .. seriously deleted the game right away .. sorry but not sorry ✌🏼 ### 1/5 — Ads even after no ad purchase *2018-12-24, version 1.1.0* App charges you $3.99 to remove ads but all of the ads still pop up. Game was fun but do not recommend based on false purchase of ad removal. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-12-24, version 1.1.0* Downloaded in spite of all the ad warnings. No joke. WAY Too many ads. Devs try to keep you interested by showing your global rank in the top corner (supposedly, I got to 62) But when a single round is interrupted 6 times for ads, then requires another ad for a chance to “continue” if you run out of moves, then interrupts every 10 seconds AGAIN... it’s obnoxious! In a nutshell: 6 minutes of ads for 1.5 minutes of gameplay. (Yes, I timed it!!) AND unlike other merge games, the number of fields don’t increase at all. There’s strictly the grid of 9 which sets you up for failure after 2 minutes (if you’re lucky) - then you have to start all over again. Stupid! I only played the game for about 45 minutes - I have better things to do. There are better apps out there in this genre. This is a BIG pass. ### 1/5 — Too many ads ! *2018-11-27, version 1.0.4* Way too many ads. Anytime you level up you have to watch a 30 second ad. It was an okay game, I can see how it would get addicting but I’m getting so annoyed with the ads that Im probably just gonna delete it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Splendid *2021-01-26, version 1.2.4* Better than watching the movie accountant ### 5/5 — Big fun *2020-07-28, version 1.2.4* Way better than solitaire!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-11-07, version 1.2.0* I love merge games like this one! I can play for hours. Not too hard but not too easy either. ### 5/5 — Addictive Awesome Puzzle!! *2019-07-20, version 1.1.8* This game is so addictive and fun and it would really help children add!! ### 5/5 — 4096MergeMatch *2019-04-08, version 1.1.1* I love that I found a game like this one ### 5/5 — Top 1% *2019-02-12, version 1.1.1* I really like numbers! So this game is a lot of fun! I can’t believe I’m in the top 1% for my high score! ### 5/5 — To many *2018-12-28, version 1.1.0* It’s understandable to have advertisements and things but there are way to many ads it’s like ad after ad constant that really needs to change cause it’s a awesome game it help waste time and stuff but to many ads ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-11-17, version 1.0.4* I really love this game and it’s very challenging and it’s a lot of fun to deal with him and I read it as a high so they could because it’s fantastic game. ### 4/5 — 4096 Merge *2023-04-10* There are too many adds in this game. I want to have less adds and more of playing the game, ### 4/5 — I love it, paid for it, but no sound *2019-07-23, version 1.1.8* This was an instant hit for me. So I purchased it due to ads. My only problem with it is it doesn’t have sound, all the beautiful colors and effects and no sound. Maybe it’s a glitch, but I feel like it takes away from the experience. Please add or fix the sound. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
