Merge matching tiles and reach the target. The rules are clear in a second; the depth shows up later, when the board stops forgiving a careless move. THREE MODES Powers of 2 – the classic. Powers of 3: three tiles merge into one, more room, costlier mistakes. Fibonacci: neighbours in the sequence merge, not identical tiles, and habit works against you. FIVE BOARD SIZES From 3×3 to 7×7. The smaller the board, the harder the game: every combination of mode and size keeps its own best score and its own leaderboard. DAILY PUZZLE One board for everyone, a single attempt. Share the result as a card, and keep the streak – it is the only thing that carries from one day to the next. DUELS Send a friend a link to your own deal. They play the same board and see the score to beat – even without the game installed. NOTHING EXTRA No ads, no subscription, no sign-up. The app collects no name, email, or address. Records live in your iCloud, and we have no access to them. TILEFOLD PLUS A one-time purchase: three palettes beyond the five free ones, game statistics, and the archive of past daily puzzles.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

2048 CAT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048 CAT has 49 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of 2048 CAT's written reviews are positive against 93% of Tilefold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

2048 CAT ships an update every 6 months, Tilefold monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
