Verdict

The call

2048 Blast and Merge Cube Mania both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of 2048 Blast's written reviews are positive against 50% of Merge Cube Mania's. 2048 Blast also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Merge Cube Mania's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Merge Cube Mania holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048 Blast has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of 2048 Blast's written reviews are positive against 50% of Merge Cube Mania's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
