No matter how many cubes I combine, my score of 1,033,329,784,901,026 just flashes and stays the same. ### 3/5 — easy asf *2026-08-15, version 1.143.1* this the easiest game i ever played, since i downloaded it, i haven’t lost and im on 295 million score. fun tho ### 2/5 — Hate new update *2026-08-15, version 1.143.1* I actually really like this game. It’s great for my anxiety but I hate the new update particularly that the interruptions and rewards are based on high score instead of block numbers. I don’t get a dopamine hit from my score but I do get one when I make a large number block. Also I like being notified of a large block and often if the game board has several rows full you don’t know if a big number was created way in the back. Please change back ### 2/5 — Ads every 30 seconds *2026-08-14, version 1.143.1* I understand that it’s free to play with ads but it’s not enjoyable to play and I’m not spending 8 bucks a week to get rid of them. The greed disguises me. ### 2/5 — Are this many ads really necessary?? *2026-08-01, version 1.142.0* The game itself is fun & not terribly difficult. The frequency of commercial interruptions is just simply way over the top!! Depending on your progress, they can pop up within 10-15 seconds if each other & last for 30 or more! I am spending twice as much time waiting for ads to play through before I can actually resume play. I’m seriously considering deleting this game. ### 2/5 — Ads Ads and more Ads *2026-07-31, version 1.142.0* If you love ads then you will love this game. It used to be fun but now they ruined it with ads every other sequence. ### 2/5 — Poor ad *2026-07-19, version 1.142.0* Playing another game and an ad comes up for this game. And yet the ad is repeated many times in the one ad cis they couldn’t think of anything else!!! What a waste of time! ### 4/5 — I love this game, but… *2026-07-15, version 1.142.0* I always come back to this game. After quite a few years and too many restarts, I finally made it into the quads. But with the recent upgrade,I noticed I could no longer see the global high scores in the leaderboards. I really miss that feature. Please bring it back. OTOH, I am constantly amazed at the vibrant colors, and the mesmerizing fluidity of movement. When I get a streak going, it’s like watching an acrobats and dancers. Never fails to make my day! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-07-10, version 1.142.0* Obvs have adds and add on payments if want specials but it’s still fab game ### 2/5 — Trop d’interruptions *2026-07-06, version 1.141.0* Petit jeu amusant, relaxe. Toutefois, il y a beaucoup trop d’interruption pour nous féliciter d’avoir tel cube, nous offrir une récompense et de doubler la récompense en regardant une vidéo. De plus, il y a maintenant un plus long délai pour refuser de regarder la vidéo. Bref, cela rend le jeu moins intéressant. ### 4/5 — Love the game *2026-06-28, version 1.141.0* Love the game but the ads are beyond ridiculous. Between that and the pop ups and then it’s 99$ a year for some version of vip. ### 3/5 — Good BUT *2026-06-25, version 1.141.0* I do enjoy winding down at the end of the night with it . It is calming to me . HOWEVER $7.99 A WEEK for VIP is CRAZY!!!! You should rethink that. ### 3/5 — Fun but ADS ADS ADS even in the middle of level! *2026-06-14, version 1.141.0* Without all the ads it would probably be fun. And the weekly fee to remove ads is shocking. What planet are they on? Don’t waste your time. ### 4/5 — Highest record bug! *2026-06-13, version 1.141.0* Hello, I would like to report a possible issue with the global leaderboard in Chain Cube: 2048 Number Match. My current in-game high score is: 10,248,245,992,213,040 However, my score on the Global Leaderboard is displayed as: 1,089,098,280,213,040 (Rank #686) I noticed that the player currently ranked #1 has a score of: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 which is exactly the maximum value of a signed 64-bit integer (2⁶³−1). This makes me wonder whether the leaderboard may be limited by a 64-bit integer overflow issue, preventing scores above this value from being correctly uploaded or ranked. I have attached screenshots showing: * My in-game high score, * My current global leaderboard position, * The top-ranked player’s score. Could you please investigate whether scores exceeding this limit are being handled correctly? I achieved this score using the official game mechanics and boosters available within the game, without any hacks, modifications, or third-party tools. Thank you very much for your time and support. I really enjoy the game and would appreciate any clarification regarding this issue. Best regards, Dr. Marvast ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-09, version 1.139.0* Every 60 seconds another ad. Deleted ### 4/5 — Counter stopped working… *2026-06-07, version 1.139.0* After latest update, counter stopped working when I hit 236 trillion…needs to be fixed or stare a limit you can score. ### 1/5 — Love this game but *2026-05-27, version 1.138.0* This game offers endless relaxing play. After playing for such a long time I wanted to support the developers so made a purchase. After purchasing dug a bit deeper and looked into their subscription offer. I was quite disappointed to learn that the monthly fee would be $19.99 for such a random game compared to other apps that are viral and come in at less than half that amount. Annual subscription is discounted to $99 which is still ridiculous. Sometimes less gives you more. Wish they would reconsider. ### 2/5 — Grandfather clause??? *2026-05-25, version 1.138.0* Listen this has been my idle game for years now. After the first month I “bought” the game so that it would be ad free and could play offline. With recent updates, and restoring my purchases, I continually am blocked from playing in offline mode. This game is not an $8/week game and it’s not an A-list release like halo, cod, forza, etc so I’m sure not paying $100/year for this. I have yet to “lose” the game, am sitting at something like 67T in points and I have no idea how many power ups I have because all I see is 999+. If you had already paid for ad free and offline play then the developer should automatically grant those players the same level of perks. It WAS those players after all who helped you get where you are now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I paid the 5.99 for no ads and I still get ads. Scam fun game if you can get over the 5011 ads they *2026-08-16, version 1.143.1* I still get ads after I paid the $5.99 no ads fee. Scam fun game if you can get over the 5011 ads they ### 1/5 — And I’m not even complaining about ads *2026-08-15, version 1.143.1* I’m so tired of all the pointless changes to the game. You keep changing the cube colors; why? A while back you changed the format of the “congratulations” screens where you form a new cube or drop the lowest value cube. What did this change help? Now you’re popping up congratulations just for reaching some random new total score. That is a very uninteresting thing to celebrate. I mean, numbers do tend to get bigger when you perform addition and multiplication… Is someone bored over there? Or does nobody really understand the difference between substantive changes and cosmetic changes? The last meaningful change you made was to add thousands separators for the current score. People who didn’t enjoy running their thumbnail over the screen to count digits were happy, but how many years ago was that? For all those people who hate the ads or the silly expensive subscriptions, the game wouldn’t be as expensive if you weren’t wasting so much time making nonsensical changes. ### 1/5 — Unfair pricing practices *2026-08-05, version 1.142.0* I paid for the premium tier with no ads years ago and now the ads are back. They want me to pay for it again! ### 1/5 — Fun but too many ads *2026-08-01, version 1.142.0* It’s a cute game and I had a good time playing it, but I couldn’t even finish my first game because I was up to 15 ads for one game. It was literally every 30 seconds to a minute there was another ad. And the answers are close to a minute and you have to click tiny little buttons. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even able to finish my first game before I deleted it ### 1/5 — This game is a money grab. *2026-07-21, version 1.142.0* Game is ad heavy and unplayable unless you pay for the ads to be removed. ### 1/5 — Fun but constant pop-ups are VERY frustrating *2026-07-19, version 1.142.0* Constant pop-ups & ads. I’d buy the app if they had a one-time app purchase price like these iPhone games used to have, but now they want $8/week?!?! Or $100/year?! That subscription pricing is absolutely insane. ### 1/5 — No longer free! *2026-07-17, version 1.142.0* I have been playing this for years. Now it's trying to get me to pay for no ads. I already paid for no ads years ago! Now it wants me to pay per week! What a con! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-07, version 1.141.0* I got this game, started playing, and was forced to watch two ads in the first three minutes of gameplay. Usually apps give you at least some time to figure out if you even like the game before they start spamming ads. Not this one! I deleted it and will never know if I was having enough fun to buy the ad free version. ### 1/5 — No free rewards *2026-06-19, version 1.141.0* The update takes away the free rewards, now you have to watch the ads. BS. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-06-15, version 1.141.0* I am very disappointed in the trajectory of the game. I have played this game for quite some time now and this news subscription service seems extremely overpriced, especially when you have loyal members that has played for a while. My game continues to reset and for someone who’s up there in the millions billions and then randomly reset again I am not paying $20 a month or $20 a year for a game this basic. Yes, perhaps $20 a year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ultra good but… *2026-08-20* Im one of the best in the leaderboard but there is a hacker in first place his score isn’t possible with the rules of the game **Developer response:** Hello! It's fantastic to hear of your leaderboard success! We appreciate your vigilance regarding fair play in the game. Your feedback is valuable, and we're committed to ensuring a level playing field for everyone. Keep enjoying the game and competing with other players—your skills truly shine! ### 5/5 — Addictive and… *2026-07-06, version 1.141.0* OK so I’m addicted. That being said I wish the game offered a little more challenges. I wish there was a amount you could add to “weight“ to the cubes so they could have more gravity so to speak, and I wish there were more levels I could achieve more bonuses. It’s also annoying that the game will encourage me to get, let’s say for example, 64,000K when I already HAVE 64,000K. I feel like this game was designed by someone new to gaming. Or if not at least they were just aiming for sort of a low bar. I wish they would update it so it would be more interesting ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-04-15, version 1.138.0* I’ve really enjoyed this game over the years. There has been some updates to make it look cute and more enticing. Yet the premise has remained mainly the same. However, this most recent change to the colors is ghastly and must not endure! ### 5/5 — NOICE *2026-04-12, version 1.138.0* I truly love this game. It’s awesome!!! Tysm for making this game!!!😁 ### 5/5 — Zen cubes bounce and merge *2026-03-06, version 1.135.0* This is indeed a relaxing game. The cubes bounce both fast and slow; the numbers keep adding up. Does not require thought. And if you put it down for a few months, you don’t forget how to play! ### 5/5 — Making Me Pay Again!!! *2026-02-22, version 1.135.0* In 2022 I paid $5.99 to stop getting ads. Recently the ads reappeared and now they say it’s $7.99 PER WEEK TO GET RID OF THE ADS!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Greatest game to play in *2026-02-03, version 1.133.0* GREAT GAME!!! I’ve been playing this for years and still love it! The Highest Score of All Time needs to be updated please…I’m currently listed as # 10 when I actually have the 2nd Highest Score of All Time! Thank you ### 5/5 — Greatest game to play in *2026-01-28, version 1.133.0* GREAT GAME!!! I’ve been playing this for years and still love it! The Highest Score of All Time needs to be updated please…I’m currently listed as # 10 when I actually have the 2nd Highest Score of All Time! Thanks you ### 5/5 — Improved action… *2026-01-27, version 1.133.0* I think this is a fun game. I think it would be more fun if the blocks would ricochet off one another better. Sort of like pool balls. ### 5/5 — 終わらないマージ、どこまでも *2026-01-23* マージし続け、負けることも目的もありませんが、ただただマージするのが何か面白くて数百万点たまりました。 オフラインにすればCMは出てこなくなります。無課金でCMなしで無限に楽しめて、いい暇つぶしになります。 **Developer response:** わーい花丸さん、楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです！無課金での体験やオフラインプレイを評価していただき、ありがとうございます。これからもゲームを続けて、たくさん楽しんでくださいね！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
