### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-03-08, version 3.3*

Used to like this game. Very addictive and enjoyable but lately seems like the game is against you. Has turned into a very frustrating game. Will get 3 or 4 of the same colour in a row or blocks you somehow. Will not recommend or play anymore.

### 3/5 — Odio la música

*2026-01-04, version 3.3*

No se en que momento actualizaron la música pero está horrible, como lo juego en ratos que espero algo no usaba volumen alto, pero la música de antes era perfecta ahora la odio, me fastidia, al menos pongan una opción para poder poner la música de antes.

### 3/5 — Bring back the old music!

*2025-11-06, version 3.3*

Who thought it was a good idea to scrap the excellent soundtrack for this game and replace it with something bland and boring? Part of the joy of playing this game was the music. Please either bring back the old music or allow the option to play it. I’m knocking off two stars for degrading the music.

### 4/5 — i miss the og threes music ᴖ̈

*2025-09-26, version 3.3*

would give this game five stars as it is amazing to get lost playing especially at 3am. i’ve spent months playing threes until i pass out but recently…. the new uhhhh remix of sorts just isn’t reminiscent of the game i fell in love with,, anyways if ur gonna change the music at least add a setting for players to change the theme!! currently have to play with the music setting turned off and the original threes soundtrack playing in my music app😂

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-09-25, version 3.3*

Great

### 3/5 — iOS26

*2025-09-18, version 3.3*

Since iOS26, the app works really slowly. 🙈

### 5/5 — Greatest mobile game ever?

*2025-08-29, version 3.3*

I don’t think any other game surpasses Threes! In terms of simplicity, fun, and challenge.

### 5/5 — Best game on iPhone

*2025-07-12, version 3.3*

This is the game I have been turning to for over 10 years now to pass time and relieve stress. I’ve never noticed it getting harder.

### 5/5 — ずっとやってる

*2025-06-11, version 3.3*

最初にダウンロードした日を見たら9年前だけどずっとやってます。まだクリアできません。
新しいBGMも良いけど前のBGMも好きなので、選べるようになってほしいです。
追記:夜カラーをOFFにしたら前のBGM聴けました。
でも好きな組み合わせで遊べたら嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — あ

*2025-06-10, version 3.3*

アップデートしたら開けなくなりました。早急に改善してほしいです

### 2/5 — Seit dem letzten Update nicht spielbar

*2025-06-09, version 3.3*

Ich liebe dieses Spiel und habe extra die Version ohne Werbung gekauft, ABER seit dem letzten Update ist das Spiel nicht spielbar, weil beim Öffnen ein black screen sich öffnet und nichts weiter passiert. 
Leider antwortet der Entwickler nicht auf Mails. Sehr sehr schade!

### 5/5 — Superb

*2025-06-06, version 3.3*

Love this game. The music makes me so nostalgic. So great to see an update!!!

### 5/5 — 몇년째 하고 있는데

*2025-06-06*

갑자기 게임 실행이 안됩니다. 왜 그런건가요.

### 2/5 — New update not work for iPhone 12

*2025-06-06, version 3.3*

I enjoyed the game for years and after the update the app would not load

### 3/5 — What did you do to my favorite soundtrack?!

*2025-06-05, version 3.3*

It’s a super cute game and I love the sound design as much as the relaxing play. That said I do not love the new soundtrack!! Please add an option to play the old one.

### 1/5 — つまらない

*2026-08-18, version 3.3*

即やめ

### 1/5 — Poor support

*2025-11-17, version 3.3*

Game stopped working (launches with blank screen) and I can no longer get it to work. Support acknowledged issue but unable to fix it

### 1/5 — Bad on iPhone 17 Pro

*2025-10-27, version 3.3*

Too many accidental swipes on 17 Pro now. Very frustrating. Please fix.

### 1/5 — App not loading after update

*2025-09-01*

I have updated my app today and now it is not loading. Give me my money back

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-06-23, version 3.3*

The only reason I ever played this game is because my stepson’s play it. You cannot develop a real strategy with this game. Their rules are just a suggestion you think that they are following them and they don’t

### 1/5 — Gone bad

*2025-04-21, version 3.0.1*

Long time player here. >17K games. Used to be a fun way to wile away idle moments, but since the game recently changed, fun has gone away. Playing it leaves a bad taste. Too unfair and manipulative. Can’t really recommend it.

### 1/5 — Game Center ruined this

*2025-03-02, version 3.0.1*

I have played this game for many years. All of a sudden Game Center sign in was required. No reason no benefit. If I turn Game Center off, the app nags me ever time I launch it. No way to disable it at all

### 1/5 — Crooked

*2025-01-13, version 3.0.1*

Deleting this piece of S.  This game breaks its own rules. It’s supposed to bring a tile in whenever there is a match.. Randomly it’ll just decide to bring the tile in and another piece of the board. And then it’ll decide suddenly that all of the next tiles are going to be all red or all blue. It’s not random. It is rigged to make you lose. I enjoy it, but I hate it. Because this game decides you know it decides that you’re going to lose.  At least in chess there are rules that you can understand.  With this game, there’s no understanding.

### 1/5 — Waste of money, worse than the free version

*2024-08-21, version 3.0.1*

This version often considers up-down moves as right-left, or otherwise. Often! The free version rarely.

### 1/5 — Can’t open new game

*2024-04-09, version 3.0.1*

I gave to continuously remove app and re download app to play a new game. Very frustrating!!!

### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2026-06-11, version 3.3*

It’s a great game. My only problem with it is my wife’s way better at it than I am.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-06-02, version 3.3*

Fun, easy to learn, challenging and educational!

### 5/5 — 似てるモノとは別格のベストオリジン

*2026-03-27*

軽快で心地良い4方向のスワイプでスペースを確保してタイルを合わせるゲーム。鬼ごっこみたいで楽しいし、個人的には1536に達すると気分が良い。何かを成すにはチカラが無い、眠りたくても眠れない、そんな時の思考と操作に実に合う。単調な類似品と違って凄くパズル性の高いタイル配牌、じっくり慎重に進めて４桁、うっかりミスであっという間に同色並んで終了はココロとカラダに悪いがやめられない。文句を言いつつ楽しむ、その繰り返し。メインメニューからボードをクリアできる事が本当にスッキリ嬉しい配慮、感謝。

### 5/5 — Still a great game

*2026-03-22, version 3.3*

I keep coming back to this one. Just downloaded it again after having not had it for a few years. It works great. Small file size, good on battery, saves progress when you close the app, and I love the dark mode color scheme. Do I get great scores? No. Do I still enjoy it when I have a minute here and there? Yes. Well worth the purchase, and I’m glad the developer has kept it updated. Thank you for a great game!

### 5/5 — I see the tiles in my head

*2026-03-09, version 3.3*

I see the blue move into the red. The 6s and 12s. I see them all the time.

### 5/5 — 세로모드 고정되게 설정 버튼하나 만들어줘요.

*2026-03-07*

이 게임 처음 나왔을 때부터 지금껏 거의 매일 너무 잘 즐기고 있습니다. 그런데 누워서 하다보면 화면이 자꾸 돌아가서 불편합니다. 게임 설정 메뉴에 고정버튼 하나 만들어줘요. 물론 아이폰 자체기능 쓰면 되겠지만 더른 어플들 이동하다보면 이게 은근 불편해요. 그냥 게임 내에 하나 만들어줘요! 어렵지 않을것 같은데 다음 업데이트 기대합니당!!!

### 5/5 — Charming and fun, better than the counterfeit 2048

*2025-12-26, version 3.3*

Great game

### 5/5 — Enganchado es decir poco

*2025-12-02, version 3.3*

Estoy total y absolutamente enganchado a este juego… y no es pasajero o por novedad… lo tengo desde hace mucho y me cuesta un montón dejar de jugar cada vez que me pongo.
De hecho; en las estadísticas del juego dice que he echado 2848 partidas… y eso son solo las de esta versión de pago sin anuncios… antes me eché un montón en la versión freeplay 😅😅😅😅😅😅

### 5/5 — Love the updated soundtrack!

*2025-10-19, version 3.3*

I’ve been playing this game for years and I didn’t realize just how much of a change the soundtrack would do to improve the chillness of this simple, yet brilliant game.

### 5/5 — This game should be more popular

*2025-10-08, version 3.3*

It’s been one of my regular games for years. I never get bored of it. Easy to pick up but more difficult to advance. I even paid for it. And I hardly ever do that.
