ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super 4096 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 438 and 381 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Super 4096's written reviews are positive against 86% of 2048's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Super 4096 ships an update every 4 months, 2048 every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
