### 5/5 — V.nic3

*2014-05-11, version 1.0.2*

V. Nice Harry! Very nice

### 2/5 — Alright...

*2014-05-01, version 1.0.1*

I'll compare this game to 2048
Pros:
-nice colour scheme 
-wildcard addition is pretty nice
Cons:
-slightly buggy (whole screen moves when swiping)
-laggy

So overall, it's a nice app except to be perfectly honest there really isn't a point of downloading this over 2048. Keep it up and keep improving producers

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2014-04-30, version 1.0.1*

Great game! Our household have become quite addicted already!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2014-04-27, version 1.0.1*

This is so bad it made my mute kid cry. The makers of this app are clearly inexperienced and merely want to exploit the publics love for 2048. I would call this the end of the popular maths game gold age and much like roman lead pipes you have led us into another dark age of mindless immaturity, I hope you're happy. Not to mention the bugs this game is riddled with, there is no excuse for this kind of behaviour. I will be seeking reparations for my time, I will take it to the law if u have to

### 1/5 — Such bug, very lag. Wow

*2014-04-27, version 1.0.1*

I downloaded this app and it keeps crashing and is very jumpy and there is also quite a delay. Not worth the download, don't waste your time

### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish

*2014-04-27, version 1.0.1*

This game is pretty much a copy of Threes and 2048. It is buggy, it's slow and it drains you battery life at unbelievable speeds for such a simple game. It is far too easy and makes me want burn someone's house down. By the way, there is no need for an apostrophe in "3's".

### 5/5 — Compulsive

*2014-04-26, version 1.0.1*

Another great time waster that is infuriating and compelling in equal measures!

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2014-04-26, version 1.0.1*

Its a massive improvement to 2048! Already played it for over 7.5 hours!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2014-04-26, version 1.0.1*

I have been playing 2048 but this is more fun. Love the wild card too. Good app

### 5/5 — So interesting!

*2014-04-25*

Keeps you wanting to play and beat your own score.  Lota fun.  Great little game!
