It always grabs the audio focus and silences background audio. Therefore it ends up not getting played and will be deleted. ### 3/5 — TOO MANY ADS ! ! *2022-04-18* Fun enough game if one can get by all the ads. And the majority of ads they play has no way to mute them. A game needs to be developed that when the game is muted, the ads need to be muted as well ! ! ### 3/5 — No Ads *2022-02-17* I want to have no ads yet cannot make my payment with a card. Please correct this, I am not the only player wanting to do this. ### 2/5 — Great game but… *2022-01-14, version 2.3.7* I liked it so much that I bought it. Ads are gone BUT offer to watch ads are still there! Please eliminate that part asking me if I want anything when 128 or higher balls are created. At least change it to ask every time 1024 or higher! 5 stars without it, 2 stars with it. At least for paid customer, give us a choice to turn it off. ### 1/5 — Removing ads doesn’t work *2021-09-17* I've paid to remove ads so they no longer come up automatically but every few goes the game still pauses to ask me if I want to watch an ad for a bonus. It still interrupts the gameplay and is not what I expect from a paid for game. So I still have the interruptions but now I've paid as well. I feel like I've been scammed. ### 1/5 — 改悪された *2021-08-27* アプデでアイテムの位置が逆になったのは何故でしょう？間違えるので戻して欲しい。 ついでに、広告が重くてアプリが落ちるので非常にイライラします。 ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2021-08-07* Far, far too many ads. Whereas I realise that there is a need for ads to keep apps free, this app goes too far. Nearly every time you get a high level bubble it goes to an ad even if you request to skip and you have to watch the first five seconds. Breaks your concentration. ### 2/5 — Fun but too glitchy *2021-07-20* It stinks that every single time you merge (512+) the game stops for an ad. It should only stop the first merge not Every. Single. One. Kills the game. Shame. I love playing but it's too much with the constant ads and no way around it ### 1/5 — Literally more time spent waiting for ads than playing the game. *2021-07-18, version 1.5.2* It’s a fun game but the advertisements ruin it. If there was a paid version I would buy it. The ads make it unplayable. ### 2/5 — 面白い！ *2021-06-26* そうか、広告流せるだけ流してやれの精神なんですね！あっぱれ！ ゲーム自体は面白いです。 ちなみにスピンして広告が始まったらすぐにアプリをスワイプで終了して再度アプリを立ち上げれば数秒しかロスしないで次を打てます。ひと手間ですが結構ハマったのでこの方法で楽しみました。ボーナスが欲しい時だけちゃんと見れば大丈夫です。 ### 2/5 — Get a new ball - see an add *2021-06-15, version 1.5.2* Way to many ads. Liked the game and would pay for an ad free version. But can’t play with so many ads. SO MANY ADS! ### 1/5 — Fun turned to Frustration. *2021-06-10* This is a FUN, FUN GAME! But, every time you score a large ball it pops up and you can’t keep the “ball rolling so to speak” and keep playing. I understand the ads need to be in there. It’s a fun game ruined by every few pops. Change that so I can play for a continuous run until my balls give out and I’ll write a RAVING REVIEW. Don’t waste time on this 2048 game. ### 1/5 — Not relaxing *2021-06-10, version 1.5.2* I play games to relax. The game is okay but, you guessed it, way too many ads. It is making me feel agitated. Not worth it. ### 3/5 — Please let me pay for no ads!!! *2021-06-08* I enjoy this game except for the ads- happy to pay to get rid of them . I’m especially sick of the ad for Royal Match -it turns off my radio and I have to go back, turn the radio back on and then return to game . Plus Royal Match OFTEN freezes and I have learnt to turn the phone off and then restart- Have decided not to play until you fix these issues!! I can see that lots of people have already complained about the ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened? *2023-12-02* It was a fun game, nothing earth shattering but a good way to spend a few minutes. I liked it enough to pay for no ads. And now … it does nothing. Completely broken. Are we fixing this, or are we just giving up on life? ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-12-01* Bubble 2048 was my most played game until the latest update. I even paid to remove ads. Now it doesn’t work at all. It launches, but then just shows a screen with some fruit and a cloud and you can’t click anything. How can I get the old version back? ### 1/5 — Bring back the old version *2023-11-28, version 3.0.5* Why would you do this? Just make a second game with the stupid fruit. ### 1/5 — Please return me my paid app Bubble 2048!!!! *2023-11-27* Just a few days ago I went to my phone and see an unfamiliar app where my favorite app was sitting. Find out that it’s called Bubble Watermelon and the app is frozen! Can’t go to settings or any other menu! I never automatically update apps and therefore if you changed the game for some reason, I still have access to my old game. So please give me back my Bubble 2048 WHICH I PAID FOR TOO!!!!! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-11-26* I had a really high score on the old version and you just go ahead I wipe it out and give us this version…sack the management I’m really not happy with this ### 1/5 — スイカに変わってから起動しなくなった *2023-11-24* フツーの玉のやつで楽しく遊んでたのに、流行りのスイカに見た目が変わったとかでアプデしたら起動しない ### 1/5 — They changed the game! *2023-11-23, version 3.0.5* They updated and it’s not the same game I downloaded! This is NOT okay! DONT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-02-01* Wayyyyyyy tooooo many ads. Good game lots of fun but sick of the ads. There’s an ad after every move. Freezes and glitchy. ### 1/5 — Endless game? *2022-01-04* It's ACTUALLY a super nice game, yes, if it weren't for those interruptions from a new ball of 128. It used to be no problem: play offline that game, and no interrupters bothered you. But since the last update is that bothering back, even offline. If the programmer doesn't want you to be able to use the game, why is he making it available in this version? Let the games decide when a bonus could be available. ### 1/5 — Fun and peaceful game, until the ads start *2021-11-15, version 2.3.7* The ads after every single shot ruin what would otherwise be a very fun experience. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Génial *2023-12-02* Original ! Un mélange entre un 248 et un Bubble tee ! J’adore et graphisme trop mignon ! 🥰 ### 5/5 — Bubble 2048 *2021-12-07* I kind of went down the rabbit hole playing this game. I purchased to remove the ads while playing… I guess you can say I’ve mastered it!!! Current score is at 15,580,996 with 2417 bombs, 450 more shots, and 100 combines… I guess I’ll keep going to see how far is too far… ### 5/5 — Ad Freedom… *2021-10-01* Great game! First game at 77 thousand or so… Second game at 22 million and counting. Noticed something interesting about the game while playing on an airplane in flight. ### 5/5 — Enjoy this game! *2021-08-29, version 2.3.7* This game takes the stress out of my crazy life! ### 5/5 — Solution to “Too Many Ads” *2021-04-03* If your playing on a phone using cellular, turn off this game from using cellular in Settings. If you’re using on Wi-Fi, do the first step and then turn off your Wi-Fi access in Settings. This will allow you to play without having to watch ANY ads!! Also works on any other game with annoying ads. ### 5/5 — New highscore *2021-03-09* Pretty sure I just achieved the world record in this game. Got to a point where the app told me that I had achieved a ball that no one else had achieved. Had a score over 490,000. Developers please get back to me if you want proof. ### 5/5 — PLS PLS READ THIS *2021-01-09, version 1.5.2* Please make a version that costs where you can have endless balls!!! CAUSE I WILL BUY THAT VERSION, FOR GODS SAKES!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Glitches *2021-01-01* When you’re building momentum the game stops and pops an ad up. After the ad is gone so is your momentum. Also the longer you play, the game will lock up for 15 or 20 seconds. ### 4/5 — You could make this a five star *2022-05-25* If you get rid of the bonus wheel it would be a perfect game. ### 4/5 — Good concept but flawed *2021-11-11* Playing this game was a challenge. I ignored all the adverts and the offers of bonuses and was happy that there were no bugs. OK, I scored well (555000 + a 32000 ball with others waiting for uplift before I ran out of luck) but this then highlighted the major drawback. Once you run out of balls…you start again from scratch. It took a lot of playing time to make the initial big score. Starting up again was not an attractive proposition. So it’s play well once, then delete! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
