2048 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Frustrating Bugs and AdsI’ve played this game for years and loved it. Years ago it was the perfect game. I took a break of several years, and came back to a very different experience. Now the ads are way more annoying. At one point the app was very sluggish, to the point it was disrupting my play. At that point I switched to the other “original” 2048 app. I missed the bragging rights of the Game Center leaderboards of this app, so once the sluggishness was fixed I came back. But now the leaderboard and score tracking doesn’t work!! My high score from months ago still shows up as “today” and new top 5 scores don’t show up in the recent top scores. To avoid risking not getting credit for a new high score, I’m switching back to the other app again. That app is better in so many ways: less ads, more responsive, friendlier 2/4 ratio, no unpredictable tile appearances, etc. If the other app was connected to Game Center leaderboards, I’d never touch this version ever again….Version: 2.4.35
✓ Fun game but ads are nonstopI enjoy the game but despite purchasing the no adds, there are still ads after each game. Huge waste of $3.99..Version: 2.4.2
✓ CopiedThe original is by Gabriel cirulli.Version: 2.4
✓ Great game - so many AdsThis is a great game with a very simple set of rules but gets increasingly hard as you progress. It only gets 3 stars because it is spoiled by the constant bombardment of ads, most of which have deliberately tiny X’s that if miss-clicked take you out of the app and on to the ads page. Very annoying!!.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Addictive game but developers insult the playerThis is a very fun to play and addictive game that would be very enjoyable if the developers didn’t decide to insult the players by shoving the ads down their throats. I mean, I have nothing against ads to support a free game but when players are presented with a full screen add and the option to close it by clicking the x in the corner, it is extremely annoying that developers decided to ignore players decisions. Clicking on the x to close the ad is a well established GUI convention but instead of closing it, the game simply introduces a delay (often enough to start a new game) and then forcibly opens the App Store, showing the app from the add. This behavior is a serious breach of rules and is equal to programming a cancel button to act as an Agree button. As soon as I find a way to do it, I will raise a formal complaint with the App Store..Version: 2.1
✓ The game is addictive and fun but…I just paid to remove the ads. Then after a game an ad immediately pops up. You happily took my money, my bank balance and the game settings prove that, so why am I still plagued with unwanted ads?? 😤 you’ll get five stars once I no longer feel cheated..Version: 2.4.25
✓ Too many adsI like the game itself but the amount of ads is insane, if there were no ads it would be a 8/10 but they just ruin the experience especially since you exist one ad and then it opens two more.Version: 2.4.37
✓ High scores don’t workIt’s supposed to save the five best scores. It does not. It saves the five times that you beat your old record. If you didn’t beat your current record, it won’t keep the score in the five best, even if it’s a higher score than one if the saved scores. What it *should* do is remove the lowest of the saved five and save the higher score, even if it was lower than the current best score. But no. A second best score just goes away. Annoying. And the ads are ridiculous. You have to watch a full minute of the crap. They don’t call it a time sink for nothing..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Ads are too much.The ads, like many people have said in the reviews- are a lot. Where my problem was, is where I purchased the ‘no ads’ that a lot of apps have. I played another round, and at the end I got an ad. Like every other time. It ruined by experience, not only do I feel scammed, but the interface itself to find the no ads purchase was weird. When you lose or finish a game there’s a Facebook like button, to take you to their page: except it’s broken, the font is all jumbled up, and it’s hard to read. I like this puzzle. Not how it was made to fit into an app..Version: 2.4.23
✓ Game no longer opensCrashes if it tries to play at ad, freezes if it skips the ad and logs into game centre (and then crashes), and crashes instantly on open if I turn off mobile data so it can’t load the ad or log in..Version: 2.4.41
✓ Every minute shows you a 2 minute advertisement.Totally unusable.Version: 2.4.41
✓ GlitchyThe current version is really glitchy. It plays very slowly and takes a long time to catch up with the moves made. Please fix!.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Used to love but recent updates have made it virtually unplayableI used to love this game but unfortunately a recent update has brought with it a rectangular box at the bottom with ads that just start to play at random intervals. I understand the purpose of ads in games such as this and don’t mind the actual pop up ones that are generally silent if your phone is on silent mode and can be closed after a certain amount of time. However, the new bottom of the screen ads *always* start with sound even when the phone is on silent mode and although there is a button on screen to silence them, this doesn’t always work meaning you have to fully close and re-open the app. Either way, ads with sound on silent mode are incredibly frustrating as it interrupts any music you’re listening to or heaven forbid, you’re trying to play the game in a public place you have to awkwardly scramble to mute the ads before people start looking at you. As I said, I understand the need for ads in free versions of games and I appreciate the attempt to do this in a way that doesn’t interrupt gameplay however, if ads are going to keep auto-playing with sound (and quite frequently!) when my phone is on silent mode then I’m left with no choice but to stop using it..Version: 2.4.25
✓ Ad attack. Great game but...As you play it keeps redirecting to ads. Try another game and not this. It is more than annoying..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Stop unnecessary push notificationsGreat game ruined by the developers over zealous use of push notifications. Even after declining to allow push notifications you still receive alerts like "come back and get to 2048". If a game isn't good enough for someone to play it without constant reminders then what's the point. The HTML version not only has no adds but it doesn't bug me constantly. I've removed this app now. More developers need to understand that unnecessary use of notifications ruins the experience..Version: 1.1
✓ Good games but ads are a deal breakerThis game is fun and I like it but I’m gonna have to stop playing it. The ads were annoying but understandable at first. There’s that delay people mention so you accidentally are always clicking the ads when you go back to the app, but that’s whatever. HOWEVER, it seems to be recent that the bottom banner ad will begin to play audio WHILE you’re playing. This makes it so that every 15 seconds my music will stop playing so I can hear the ad! That is WHOLLY unnacceptable. If I can’t listen to my podcasts or music while I play this on my metro commute: This. Game. Is. Not. Worth. It. Please change this..Version: 2.4.25
✓ Game, add, game, add ugh!I really enjoy this game and play it often. There ads though, annoying as anything here is also no option to pay to have them removed, and I like the game enough that I would actually do that!.Version: 2.4
✓ AdsI understand for the occasional ad here and there but you don’t need an ad every time you die, it’s unnecessary and annoying to the point I barely play the game now because of this.Version: 2.4.7
✓ ScamPaid to get rid of the ads years ago. Now it still has ads. Complete waste of 3 bucks..Version: 2.4.39
✓ The adds stopped me beating my record!I was playing one day and doing really well but had to end for the night so came off it, so I came on a few days later a add popped up clicked the cross on it, for a few seconds nothing happened, then it kicked me out of the game and when I rejoined I was back to square 1 again. Whether this is the add or a bug it needs to change as I can’t really come off now until I’ve finished! It takes ages to get to 8192!.Version: 2.4.7
✓ Take away undoBest game ever - have been addicted for a long time now. Just an observation - it seems as if some users have an undo option and others don't. I think you should take this option away entirely as it makes it difficult to compete between friends..Version: 1.2
✓ Ads have ruined a fun gameThis is a simple yet very addictive game which was a lot of fun to play. However, all of the fun has been removed by the never ending stream of ads in the game. I understand the developers need to get their money somehow - but seriously, an ad popping up 10 seconds after I start playing?? The ads would at times cause the app to freeze and crash. They also pop up randomly so you will press it without realising, causing more problems. Do what the others do and put them at the end of the game. Until that change is made I won’t play this any more..Version: 2.4.8
✓ After paying for ad free the ads have returnedAfter paying for ad free the ads have returned. Ripped-off! Yet another app I have had to delete from my device after they change the rules of purchase. Filmic Pro app wants to charge a monthly fee after I had purchased the app, Goodnotes did the same. I am sick of what Apple is allowing Developers to do to customers through their App Store..Version: 2.4.43
✓ Invasive advertising ruins the gameI genuinely like the game, but the advertising is very intrusive (more than what you’d expect). You can be in the midst of playing a game and an ad will start playing in the background and you can’t get rid of the sound, so it will override the podcast or playlist or anything else you were listening to. There are certainly too many pop ads (emerging mid-game) that you can’t close for a certain period of time, but at least you get the option of closing it after 15 or 30 seconds. I decided to delete the app after two years as there is no upgrade available for those who are willing pay to get rid of the ads..Version: 2.2
✓ Toooo many ads!!!It’s really addictive but there is WAY too many ads like every time I die there’s an ad😫😫😫. I’m trying to listen to music and every time there’s an ad it stops the music for the ad music which is really annoying because I have to keep going off the game to put the music back on😠😭😤🤬😡.Version: 2.4
✓ Stopped working!Latest version fails to load on my iPhone 12 which has just updated to ios 17. The screen opens for a few seconds but then flashes an advert and goes off. It’s still loaded on the background but just has a black screen. Doesn’t matter if I have an Internet connection or not - both WiFi and mobile, (Vodafone), don’t work. Any chance of an upgrade to fix what I think is an ios 17 problem??.Version: 2.4.41
✓ CrashThe app is opening an add and crashing instantly.Version: 2.4.41
✓ Ad noise can’t be turned offWhile I understand the need for ads The noise can’t be turned off unless you each time a new ad pops up at the bottom when playing you game, cancel it again, and again, and again.Version: 2.4.25
✓ Needs Polish, Undo and Dark Mode!!!This is a very simple and addicting game but it has very annoying shortfalls. I‘ll update my rating upon any developer response. This 2048 version can be endlessly frustrating given the lack of a few a few features. I’d happily pay again if the following options were added… 1. Swipe anywhere mode -Allow swiping both on and off the board to control movement. -More empty space would help (#5 below) -Would help keep hands/fingers out of gameplay view 2. Undo! (single step is sufficient) 3. Dark mode!! -Allow for more comfortable use at night, in dark rooms -Current white-only design is jolting!! 4. Landscape view (especially on iPad) -iPhone: use while relaxing, resting -iPad: use while connected to keyboard case (ie. Magic Keyboard) 5. More empty space -Smaller board (little on iPhone, much more on iPad) -Minimize design of top menu/score/logo area -Would aid gameplay view while swiping (#1 above) -Would aid new landscape view UI (#4 above).Version: 2.4.10
✓ AdsAds.Version: 2.4
✓ AdsIt now includes ads in the app when you launch the app and it caused a couple of times to freeze my iPhone and then when resetting the app it starts from Zero losing all you have built and you have to start from the beginning. Very annoying..Version: 2.4.38
✓ Advert noiseI’ve muted the app. It is unacceptable that adverts play sound. The app itself is great. I enjoyed it for years. But if I suddenly need my entire phone to be muted. And I have to remember to do this before opening the app… I might as well delete the app. One unhappy ex customer here. If this business model works for you. No need to change on my account. As I said. Ex customer..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Remove ads rip off!!Paid the 3 bucks, still get all the ads. Brutal..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Can’t remove ads👎🏼.Version: 2.4.38
✓ Recent update killed it?I think there must have been an update recently. The game is now incredibly sluggish and unusable. Otherwise, the concept is great..Version: 2.4.44
✓ Too many addsToo many adds, so Un-installed this app.Version: 2.4.30
✓ Not bad, but the ads are a bit much.It’s 2048. Not really much more that I could ask for from the game. However, there’s definitely too many advertisements for my liking; enough that I end up losing interest in the game from having to deal with them a bare minimum of every 7 minutes. Especially when I’m met with an (sometimes even more than one) ad the moment I open the app, I really find it distracting from the game itself. The game itself, however, is just as I said at the start it was: exactly what I expected. Because of that, I can’t exactly give this a poor review. Rather, I’ll go ahead and give a rating of 3 stars - or what I feel is more or less a neutral rating..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Update bugOther people have pointed it out but this isn't working on ios 5 since the update - there any chance of a fix for this? :).Version: 1.4
✓ Adds with Sound + App Store redirectPlayed the app a lot. It is pretty much un playable with all the adds now. Adds pop up with loud noise and it is impossible to close the add before getting redirected to the App Store..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Ugh!Okay, every day I play this game but I can only get to 256. I know it’s ridiculous but it’s not that easy to get to 2048. Why is it called 2048 when you can’t even get to that number easily?! Also the ads are really annoying, it happens when it says game over. Also I got to 2048! But why does it say to get to evn bigger numbers? I don’t get this game. 🤨.Version: 2.4.38
✓ Tiles lag to catch up with swipes and intrusive adsThe game is fine it’s self but the tiles are lagging to keep up with the swipes and I thought it was my screen at first but it was the app itself. The ads are intrusive and I find it difficult to enjoy the game..Version: 2.4
✓ Ads with sound made me delete the gameI love this game and didn’t mind the ads in between games but now the ads in the lower thirds play while i play the game. To the point where if I’m listen to music or a podcast on my phone, the sound on whatever I’m watching cuts out while the ad plays. To make matters worse, if i exit out of the game tab to press play on whatever i was listening to, when i get back to the game tab the ad begins to play again. So it’s a never ending cycle of ads. Really disappointed in this decision to add this ad feature. It’s quite literally unbearable..Version: 2.4.25
✓ Don’t bother downloadingAs soon as I opened it it took me to a game. A grid with numbers. It asks you to make the number 2048. There are no instructions on how the game works, how sliding numbers works. If you hold a number and slide it often slides other numbers. It makes no sense and is not explained. I have no idea what to do or how to find out. I keep sliding and it keeps going and never ends and until it ends I can’t do anything as the rare no options. And after reading other reviews it seems to be more ads than it’s worth anyway. So don’t bother unless you are the most patient person on the planet. And trust me, you re not..Version: 2.4.23
✓ This isn't hardI love the classic game, 2048. It's fun, relaxing, and overall a good game. So when I download an app to play it I'm not expecting adds every 5 seconds. Jesus Christ, how money hungry do you have to be to have that much ads? Another problem is the sounds. It is not challenging AT ALL to make/find a sound that's nicer then whatever monstrosity you chose. It is so infuriating to hear. If I had to spend five more minutes hearing that sound I would rip off my ears and hang myself. Like why would you add such an unsatisfying sound whenever you move?? One more thing. The colors are so boring. You have access to the entire color spectrum, and you choose the most depressing colors to ever exist. Whoever created this app should delete it immediately and stop embarrassing themselves my God..Version: 2.4.20
✓ B-Good game but number of ads ruin the experience. I understand the concept of making money, however I would be more likely to buy extras if I wasn't so annoyed by pop-ups..Version: 1.9
✓ Pay for nothingPaid to remove ads, guess what. After one update they are back. What a rip, $5 for nothing and now pop up ads all over the place. Don’t bother..Version: 2.4.10
✓ IOS update 11.2.5 killed it. Runs about 15 s secondsJust took the latest iOS update from apple on my iPhone X and this game no longer works. I annoyingly bought the ads free version this time which I can’t get a refund on because 2048 no longer runs. When it was working it was great. I really enjoyed it. Like another comment I would like a back button though !.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Abusé adsC’est rendu que même si je suis connecté, j’ai plein de ads du jeu Dommage pcq j’aimais bcp. Installé.Version: 2.4.2
✓ ScamI got this game it’s fun but when I press skip add it just took my money away and gave me no ads when I didn’t want to pay pls give me money back I press skip on the add and boom 5 dollars is gone..Version: 2.4.23
✓ Invasive ads made me deleteFor some reason swiping the tiles on this game will randomly open a pop up ad in safari. It never used to do this and it happens without clicking the ad banner at the bottom of the screen. It’s so annoying and if you really need the ad revenue you’re only getting it in the short term if you are forcing people to click your ads by hiding it in the game, I promise people are going to delete the app from their phones..Version: 2.4.37
✓ App keeps crashingSo I open the app and when an ad pops up the app crashes instantaneously and no matter what I do (Turn off WiFi, Turn on/off mobile data) the app counties to show and ad then crash straight away other than that it’s a good game and I enjoy playing it a lot but I’m unable to, it’s a shame.Version: 2.4.41
✓ Rip offPaid for no ads but still getting ads!!!!!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Too many adsPlease give an option to purchase to remove the ads! There’s too many and it affects the enjoyable experience of the game.Version: 2.4.32
✓ Good game ruined by advertising.I downloaded this game after having played elsewhere and really enjoyed it. The game itself is good but it’s completely ruined by its in game adds. I have muted the game so you can play whilst listening to music; but was over rode by a political ad campaign that came on in the background and couldn’t be turned off. I found this completely unacceptable, shouldn’t have to listen to politics whilst playing a game, and if it’s been muted there shouldn’t be any noise come out of the game. There isn’t even a purchase or remove adds option. Needs to be fixed or not worthwhile downloading..Version: 2.4.37
✓ Fun with pleasant design but intrusive adsI really enjoy how intuitively the app works but ads have started to pop up on a lag so you’ll start a game and then mid move the ad pops up and your move will be considered a click that’ll send you to the App Store. It’s a whole mess; I wouldn’t mind ads otherwise cuz like I -get- it, you know? But the way they’re being carried out is really messing up the whole experience for me (I can count the number of reviews I’ve written on one hand but the ads singularly drove me here in this case). Move their location, make ‘em less obstructive/ ‘mandatory viewing’, and/or incentivize watching them for some type of reward and you’ll create a better experience for players..Version: 2.4.10
✓ A great app….But!I understand the need for greed and am willing to accept a few reasonable ads but the condescending, ridiculous Royal Kingdom ads spoil the whole experience. Get rid of the vermin..Version: 2.4.41
✓ Kills my battery and overheats phoneLove the game but can’t play it frequently because my battery will go from 100% to 60% in minutes.Version: 2.4.38
✓ IAPs are false advertisingPaid to remove ads, game still shows ads. Very dishonest behaviour.Version: 2.4.19
✓ Ads and lack of undo spoil itThe delayed pop up ad at the beginning of the game is so annoying that I refuse to download any other games from this developer on principle. Also there is no undo feature which would be really useful for that one mistake. I'm sure the game had it on previous versions though. Overall I do enjoy playing it and it's a good mental exercise without being too stimulating so great to play for a few minutes in the evening. Much better than threes which I hated playing..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Good Game, Too Many AdsI quite like this game, and have played it quite a lot, but the ads are becoming ridiculous! I can understand at the end of the game, but during its sooo annoying..Version: 2.3
✓ Advertising does not let you know your scoreYou know that you are about to get to end of the game (not more moves are possible)... and suddenly an advertisement appears so you do not know what was your score!! Nice game but advertisements spoil the outcome for users unless you purchase the game!!!.Version: 2.4.23
✓ Slow ads and high battery useAds are very intrusive and slow so that you keep hitting them while they are loading. At times ads slow the app down to the extent it takes 5-10 seconds to respond. Also causes high drain on the battery..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Enjoyable but annoyingI really enjoy this game but every time I play it it opens up the AppStore as if I have clicked an advert and when I go back on the game it games saying ‘open failed’ and keep trying to opening the App Store. It’s very frustrating and I don’t know how to prevent it. I have to put my phone In Aeroplane just to play the game without it doing this!.Version: 2.4.10
✓ When ad free is not as freeKeeps playing ads even if you’ve paid for ad free 🤬.Version: 2.4.38
✓ Ads are the worst!These ads are the worst I have experienced on any game. It frustrates me so much that this is the only app I have ever bothered to review. I had this game on my phone with a different carrier and it was fine, they would have a silent ad before/after a game, and it was easy to exit out of. However, since I got my new phone on Verizon, the ads keep popping up all the time - before and after, as well as throughout the game. The worst part is that the ads pop up with full volume (despite my game settings being set to silent), and then it freezes with full volume for a sec while I frantically try to stop it. I didn’t have this issue when on TMobile so I am thinking the cell carrier has something to do with it, so I would strongly advise you to skip this game if you have Verizon..Version: 2.1
✓ Better on my iPad. The sound is annoyingI love playing this on my iPad. I also have it on my phone. The reason I’ve not given it 5 stars is there is no option to switch off the sound. I could put my phone on silent but if I’m listening to music or a poddy while playing, the loud dings carry on dinging and spoil my listening pleasure. That is so annoying and un user friendly it lost two stars on that basis. The game is great though..Version: 2.4.10
✓ Won’t launchBruv.Version: 2.4.39
✓ MehI love the game itself, brilliantly addicting and enjoyable. However, for some bizarre reason, I keep getting sent to the App Store, when I touch the MIDDLE OF THE PLAYING BOARD. Would’ve been a 5 star review, had it not been for the infuriating ads and constantly being rerouted to the App Store..Version: 2.4.10
✓ Always crashesAmazing game love it ! So addictive but crashes all the time I have a newish iPad not many games or pictures no reason for it to be the iPads fault but I will be getting really high numbers then all of a sudden crash and when I go back on it starts me from the start tried re downloading it but still a problem..Version: 2.4.38
✓ There are too many ads.Good game but get rid of the freaking ads. There never were any years ago when I used to play. I get that u need to make money from a free app, but I can tell you, surely you don't need that many! It also consumes data at an incredible rate, making it a dangerous app to own if you do a lot of travel. Putting lives at risk for money is not okay. It is simply selfish for your company. Remove these ads, and YOU company, could save lives. With that, you get a better rating. That's all I can say..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Battery drainerDOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL NOT THIS DEVELOPER! The original has adds that aren’t anywhere near as intrusive! This app seriously kills your battery. Played for about an hour on a road trip and went from ~90% to 10% with my phone on about a quarter brightness. Plugged in my phone and kept playing and my phone said charging but it was not going up, it actually dropped to 9% after a few minutes. I killed the app and switched to a reading app and my battery climbed back up to 50%. Started playing this again and the battery fell to 47% after 10 minutes. Either this game isn’t optimized or it’s doing all kinds of stuff in the background..Version: 2.4.31
✓ Great game, annoying adsIts a fun game, however, every time you open the app, there's a delayed ad designed to make you click on it. These ads freeze the app. Plus there are enough ads on the games' interface, idk why the need for a pop up ad. And the ingame ad banners when switching ads lags the game. Cut out the pop up ads and fix your banners..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Ad ploy makes it a no goThe game is good but the way the ads are designed forces a click on the ad and makes a false move in the game that moves the tiles so spoils the move and therefore the game. If you restart it it happens again. Pointless. I don’t mind watching the ads and understand the business model of needing to do so but forcing click throughs is a step too far for me. There are better versions that work without the cheap tricks..Version: 2.4.6
✓ Ads take you to the App StoreAds are a part of business, I get that. But now when I try to close them they take me to the App Store. Uninstalling this.Version: 2.4
✓ NOT THE BESTThis game is ok but it's not the best it crashed once and I was getting so far that I had to start again😡. Also the ads...the adds are the worst part because when I click the x to get rid of it, it always comes on to the AppStore even when I've tried to get rid of it. Last bit that's bad is it's just like threes and they have copied most of it.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Too many adsToo many.Version: 2.4.41
✓ Good Game, But It LiesSo, I enjoy this game - it’s a good brain thinker and easy time killer. Would have been a 5 star review, but I’ve been lied to! I scored 2048 (as the game is titled) and felt rather proud thinking I’d beat the game. But then it pops up saying now try and reach the 4096 tile! Like I’m sorry but the game is called 2048 not 4096 - very misleading and very disappointing to discover that I have in fact NOT beaten the game!!! So for that I give you 3 stars..Version: 2.4.10
✓ Invasive AdsNormal phone game: ads after every few runs, maybe some banner ads on the top or bottom. This phone game: ADS THAT POP UP DURING GAMEPLAY AND BEFORE THEY LOAD, YOU’RE ALREADY TAPPING ON THE AD. How do you play a game when ads stop you from playing?.Version: 2.4.28
✓ Ads 🤮Fckg ads in such an insignificant app..Version: 2.4.38
✓ The ads are bugging out the gameAfter 6 years of playing this game, the ads are ruining it! I get that ads are needed, it’s after all free, but they are affecting the playability in later updates. 1. Some ads you cannot close at all! Making you force quit the game! That in turn freezes your game when you open it next time, and then clears your board the third time you open it. 2. Ads open slow screwing up some of your moves 3. Recent update now sometimes freezes the game. I’m playing on a iPhone XS, so the processor in it should have enough juice to run 2048 I think....Version: 2.4.2
✓ To many ads!I really regret updating this app. The newest vetsion has an annoying pop-up ad every 10 seconds or so, meant for you to accidentally tap on. It was a good game before that..Version: 1.9
✓ DumbToo many adds! Bad don’t get so bad!🤬.Version: 2.4.25
✓ DecentThe game itself is enjoyable for a short amount of time. However, unwanted push notifications do ruin it sometimes. Otherwise, a decent game..Version: 1.8
✓ Ads completely ruin the experienceI’d like to start this review by saying that this developer is not the original creator of the 2048 game and it’s a little off putting to me to see this developer profiting off of a copied idea with not many changes. that said, the amount of ads on this app are ridiculous. every time you open the app, you’re faced with an ad. when you click to close it, it reopens, or another ad is presented. you are also presented with ads when you lose the game. so, not only does the user get frustrated when they lose the game, that frustration is then compounded when the user is presented with an ad that takes many clicks to close. the padding on the X button on the ads is also ridiculously small, and if you click anywhere on the ad, even seemingly ON the X button, it will take you to the app store, or close and reopen the same ad. basically, this is more of an ad platform than a game experience and i will be deleting 👋🏼.Version: 2.4.10
✓ Keeps crashing and restarts game after updateLove the game, but after the recent update, it keeps crashing. When it reopens, it starts on a new board. I tried reinstalling it, lost my high scores, and sadly the problem still exists. Will update to 5 stars once the problem is fixed..Version: 2.4.44
✓ BuggyI have enjoyed this game over several years but in recent months it has become very buggy. The game freezes up when trying to display ads and on quitting loses the ongoing game. This has happened so many times that I have now deleted 2048 from my device..Version: 2.4.23
✓ Ads??I used to love this game so I redownloaded it only to discover that after every second move an ad pops up which is annoying enough but they seem to be unlimited as every time I click x to close the ad another pops up so I have to keep refreshing the app. At first I thought it was a glitch but after the fifth time I gave up. So disappointed..Version: 2.4.10
✓ Ridiculous!You can spend a couple of hours building up a high score, but then, if you have to stop for some reason, there is no way to RESUME your game. You have to start from scratch again. I would have given 5 stars, but the lack of a RESUME facility means there’s no point starting a game unless you know you have a spare 3 or 4 hours ahead of you. So I rarely bother. Shame!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Unpredictability is killing me!Good game, the app is fine, the adds don't bother me-they don't cause a crash and you just exit out of them. My problem is the unpredictability that only happens when you're right on the verge of getting a higher tile. Once you hit a new tile, that possibly took months or years-then you can hit it almost every try after that. It's not that your skill drastically increased, only that the game FINALLY let you. For instance, I'll only be 1024 away from my goal tile when suddenly I have to swipe up because the game decides to be unpredictable. Then a number (90% of the time) appears under my highest tile. Then it gives me a four instead of a two, which of course doesn't match, and just like that-poof. The game is lost. I don't give up then, but I'm again irritated at the unpredictability. It's not a learning game at that point. It's chance. Or better yet, a sick sense of humor by the developers. It's not poor planning by the player. Okay, most times that is the problem, but a few times-it's not. You'll play perfectly to the strategy that works all up until suddenly the game starts changing it up for no reason, and with no purpose other than to make you loose. I actually like this about the game-but not after a year or more of being stuck on the same tile..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Too many addsYou cant perma mute the adds at the bottom of the screen so they’re constantly repeating the audio every few seconds and of course the couple of adds at the end of a game cant be muted either and take too long to get to the part where you close the add to play again and the adds still some how play even on air plane mode, the game its self is more frustrating than satisfying played 3 games but the add spam has put me off 1 star as cant give 0 more adds than game bored of it within a few mins.Version: 2.4.25
✓ HmmmThe game just decided rest my score to zero, so thank you bye..Version: 2.4.39
✓ Overheats my phoneI used this app once and immediately got asked about my data. why is one of the options precise geo-location?? i turned everything off including legitimate interest and vendors and when i first died i got an ad, so i close the app and turn off mobile data (im not on wifi rn) and my phone is already pretty warm. opening the app again it asked about vendors again (though it saved my choices) and after just 2 or 3 more runs my phone was too hot to comfortably play! i use an iphone xs max, this should not be happening..Version: 2.4.45
✓ Totally broken in airplane modeUtterly broken in airplane mode, feels like it’s maliciously chewing through the battery (ultimately to the point of the app UI becoming unresponsive) as it can’t connect to the net to serve ads. More generally, there are free (and seemingly identical) versions of this game on the web. Ad free. Packaging a web page and then crippling your device for the privilege is utterly unacceptable and downright hostile. I’m surprised it’s allowed on the App Store..Version: 2.4.44
✓ Noisy ads .. even with sound switch offI can handle adverts .. both before and after a game. But ... when the ads cause loud tingly music to happen — even when my phone sound switch is set to OFF — that’s pretty nasty. I’ll keep using it occasionally .. but certainly never buy anything the ads are selling. Will probably uninstall next time it happens.Version: 2.2
✓ A LOT OF ADSThis game is quite fun and challenging. However the advertisements are in the wrong places. I wouldn’t mind if they were at the game when you die, but not in the middle of a game. The game is good but the ads are terrible.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Not goodI play for a while and then the game suddenly shuts down. Frustrating..Version: 2.4.40
✓ Ads are too intrusive.Ads are timed and it placed the so that you accidentally tap on them without even seeing them properly which is frustrating for the user and unfair to the advertiser. The in-app purchase option to remove the ads is not made obvious..Version: 2.4.2
✓ I paid for no ads and now they have adsI paid to not to have to see ads, and now theyve updated it to show me ads anyway..Version: 2.4.43
✓ Advert !Used to enjoy this but adverts too much now ... I may delete.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Ads that break ur phoneGlitches my phone into shutting down completely..Version: 2.4.2
✓ SorryWe’re sorry to inform u that you have gay.Version: 2.4
✓ Inappropriate advertisingUnfortunately 2048 has become unfit for purpose (unless it’s ONLY purpose is to advertise). This was my favorite game years ago. I came back to it today and could not play more than 2 moves without a new advertisement beginning. It literally made the game unplayable. I deleted and reloaded the game but still the same problem. Something has drastically changed about the advertising ratio in this game and it is not able to be played anymore. Such a pity a great game has been destroyed. Hopefully developers will see this and fix it. I won’t be playing again unless ads change.Version: 2.4
✓ CrashCrashes every time I get an ad, which is very often. Incapable of playing..Version: 2.4.44
✓ Fun but LaggyExcellent game. Very fun to play. I play on an iPhone 13 Pro Max which should handle this app perfectly but for some reason it heats my phone up and lags a lot. This makes it difficult to play and has forced me to delete this app and find another..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Good Game RuinedThis is an awesome game made unplayable by the ads. I would be happy to part with a few dollars to get rid of the ads. Surely you could make some money offering that as an option?.Version: 2.4.25
✓ Unplayable since the 2.4.6 updateI used to love playing 2048, but since the update to version 2.4.6 it's become unplayable on my iPad 3 (running iOS 9) as the animation is really sluggish, and it can take up to a second from swiping the screen until the move is made. It seems to be worse the more tiles are on the screen, so perhaps you've changed the way you do your graphics animation and haven't tested it on older devices? A great shame..Version: 2.4.6
✓ So many adsOk, show some ads, i didn’t pay. But i swear to buddha, some ads don’t have the close button. Annoying af.Version: 2.4.25
✓ Must delete it!!!Enjoyed this game when it just came out until last week. This app consumed 18G (50M every minute) of my mobile data while my iPhone 6S was connected with Wifi and also this happened while I was sleeping. Nevertheless, I haven't touched this app for a long while. So how this all happened. This is ridiculous, seriously! Not only cost my big fortune but also concerned my safety of the info in my phone. So please think twice before u download this App. Please delete it for good and safety. I mean, just in case!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ AdsToo much ads ! It’s appearing just after you lose a game ! So annoying.Version: 2.4.24
✓ Oh, oh, oh! The ads oh!Bruh ads. I saw a lot of reviews say: “The $3.99 no ads thing doesn’t help, it just wastes your money.” Yeah, I don’t want to do that. I played the game for 10 MINUTES, 10 MINUTES, and already saw about 120 ads. Yep, that’s right, 10 minutes and 120 ads. Also, every singe one being unskippable and 30 minutes long. Ok ok, people who spam “turn off wifi.” I get it. I mean it does work but I’m a lazy and dumb guy, I forget that I turned it off so now I’m like “why does it say ‘no internet, please connect to the internet to continue?’ I don’t get it!” Yeah, that’s me. Also, the LONDLESS OF THE ADS CAN WE TALK HERE?!?!?!?!?!? There’re so loud. Now what is my plan? Delete it, keep it and play it, or keep it or not play it. Ok, I wanted to have a game where I can test my IQ, but just isn’t the one. Bye bye 2048, bye bye. THAT’S RIGHT, I’M DONE WITH DUMB, GAME CREATORS WHO ADD 1M ADS INTO THEIR GAME. I’M DONE!.Version: 2.4.19
✓ NopeWas a good app until they added ads that play music. Unacceptable. Deleted.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Too many adsNot sure if this game is any good, too many ads to actually play it.Version: 2.4.38
✓ Love the game, hate the spamApp auto-opens Ads auto-open Dev's are scum....Version: 2.0.4
✓ Freezes on adsGreat game, but I keep having to reinstall it as it freezes on the ads and no other way to restart it..Version: 2.4.29
✓ This used to be awesomeIf I was ever in a spot where I needed something to occupy a little bit of time I would choose this game. And then they started messing with it. See, I figured out the trick to it. Getting 2048 is pretty easy. No problem. 4096 is a challenge but I would often get it. Then they messed with it. I’m not sure how and I’m sure they will deny it but it got even HARDER. No biggie right? After all, I’ve gotten 4096. Well, the next step of 8192? has become impossible. The tiles don’t come that u need and the game ends. Crap! And on top of that? They added advertisements. The worst thing for me because I can’t stand them. So every time I loose? Another advertisement comes up. Often times I actually have the game on my phone and I still have to watch them. So it’s come time to part ways. Thanks for the great game. It added hours of enjoyment for me. Wish u didn’t feel the need of changing things..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Needs fixingMe and al my friends have been playing this game for quite some time now and yet none of us have ever got the 2048 tile that might just be because were trash but I’m upset at the fact that when you try and play a game together it NEVER works I really think it’ll be cool to actually play with pals but it just won’t work and we have tried nearly everything and have kept trying multiple times but it can never seem to start a game.Version: 2.4.23
✓ Bad rip-off of ThreesHaving played "Threes" for the last month, I thought I'd check out 2048 to see how closely they copied it. (Apparently 2048 appeared on the App store a day or so after "Threes" was released and it shows.) The basic idea is the same, but as far as gameplay goes it's like chalk and cheese. There is very little strategy required. Don't recommend..Version: 1.3
✓ AnnoyingThe game is great and I love it but I have reluctantly removed it because the app loses my game or freezes up altogether and I have to reinstall which loses my place, high score and everything else. This happens too often, especially on my phone but only a little less often on my iPad. A pity..Version: 2.4.7
✓ Deleting too Many adsAn ad while I'm playing messing up my game. 2-3 ads when I have to start over Ads when I first open It's all ads. Deleting the game..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Ummmm....This game is a good game i’ve played it on my phone but i cant get it on my ipad it just lets me download it than it goes blank and this ipad has lots of storage left i love it but if they could fix this for me i would hive u guys 5 stars.Version: 2.4.10
✓ Abusive adsI used to play this game a lot. It now pops up ads and sends me to the App Store abusively while I'm playing. Uninstalling..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Stupid adsCan’t even play as when the first initial ad pops up it boots me out of the game and goes to my Home Screen, disappointing because I played this when it first came out and was great now it’s buggy as hell.Version: 2.4.43
✓ ITS IMPOSSIBLEThis game is great once you turn mobile data off for it and wifi the only issue is they don't have anything to help you reach your objective (game creators if you're reading this you should give like a button that makes one piece disappear or something - LITERALLY ANYTHING TO MAKE IT EASIER. I'm 20 and I've spent at least 10 hours playing this trying to actually get 2048 AND YOU CANT).Version: 2.0.4
✓ Paid for no adsReceiving ads again.Version: 2.4.43
✓ Paying to remove ads does NOT remove adsTitle says it all..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Pastes from other appsThis game and the bricks version pastes from other apps every time you open it. Beware of having anything in your clipboard as it will be stolen. I put up with it for a while but it was the last straw when it pasted from my password manager and I uninstalled it..Version: 2.4.30
✓ Unacceptable adsI have played and loved this game for years. I’ve played it on many different phones and devices and have told other people about it too. But recently the banner ads at the bottom of the screen have started playing songs that you have to mute, even if your phone is on vibrate. It’s ridiculous to essentially have to mute a new “pop up” ad every few seconds when all you want to do is play the game. Ads between games are one thing but this is not the right way to place them and is actively pushing me away from the game..Version: 2.4.25
✓ AnnoyingLove the game but am going to delete it as it’s impossible to play on my phone with all the ads that pop up and won’t go away even when ‘done’ is pressed. It’s so frustrating that even when you try to shut it down and open it up again the half played game is still there, but then the App Store ad for more games comes up again and I can’t get out of it! Fed up!!.Version: 2.4.37
✓ Crashes and restartsI love this game, especially since i can play underground on my commute to and from work. But it crashes and starts over the game way too often. I literally beat my high score and got the 16,384 tile with no sign of being close to losing, I go back into the game next day and it restarted. It’s really frustrating when you put all that time and effort and it gets erased. The developers really need to work on this or create a save point. I’m just going to stop playing if it’s just going to delete my progress every time I go back in. Especially since it’s not something you play quickly. It’s one of my favorite games. Please work on this..Version: 2.4.5
✓ Flickering adsI used to love this game but I can't play any more because of the flickering ads at the bottom of the screen that make me feel ill.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Awesome! Ads are a menace.Ads interrupt the game, and you can't mute them! Sometimes you get an ad pop up 12 times during a game. Aaaagh! Now it has changed my device, so when I swipe up, in any app, one of its stupid ads appears. Game is fantastic..Version: 2.3
✓ BuggyVery buggy. freezes, crashes and slows down randomly. i’m pretty sure this isn’t even the original creator of the game.Version: 2.4.44
✓ What a crockI paid to remove the ads and then when I finish a game, I get an ad. I’m getting a refund!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Apple TV version is very poor.The gameplay is the same but the implementation on the controls is so sensitive that it only a matter of time before your strategy collapses through a poor move. I would leave feedback under the Apple TV app store but I cannot work out how! Whatever happened to it just works?.Version: 2.0.4
✓ CrashesJust closes after 3 seconds not working anymore.Version: 2.4.41
✓ Now annoyingThis game was ok until this latest incarnation. It keeps bugging me about Game Center, and the adverts are extremely annoying especially since they don’t honour the app’s sound setting i.e. muted. I will no longer play this game until the adverts are at least muted, and preferably have a visible quit button; also the option to disable Game Center nagging permanently..Version: 2.4.10
✓ IT DOESNT WORt ANYMOREIt is my favorite game but I can’t play anymore bcs it crashes every time.Version: 2.4.41
✓ Great game but consistently crashes!!Great game but it consistently crashes which is EXTREMELY frustrating. I was close to a new milestone at the 16k tile (which takes quite some time to get to), picked up my phone to continue where I left off and like clockwork: 1) the screen freezes for 10-15 seconds and 2) then the app crashes! I have a brand new phone so I know it’s not an issue with that - please fix the game otherwise it’s not worth playing anymore! All that is needed is a way to save your current session when you put your phone down for an hour, day, week etc. PS - I will adjust my rating to 5 stars once/if this is fixed..Version: 2.4.39
✓ Please cool it with the adsThe game is a lot of fun, but oh my gosh the ads on this game are so incredibly obnoxious. Every time you lose, there's an ad that's unskippable for thirty seconds, and there is no option to even pay for an ad free version. Every time you load the game there is an ad that doesn't load and freezes the game until you tap on the screen, which then pulls you into an app store loading screen, where you have to tap the X, and it'll load the ad which you have to get rid of again. Please, at least offer an ad free option. Without the ads I would give this app 5 stars..Version: 2.4.21
✓ Good, but....The app is fun, more than likely addicting. Me and my buddies at school are always off in the corner playing this game online on our iPads. It is a very challenging and fun game but there’s one thing that makes everyone angry. It’s when you get to the point when you are at a high number. Then you have to swipe because the game is being unpredictable. And when you do swipe, it decides to play a sick little trick on you, making the number not capable of going into another one. Do you do this on purpose? Cuz maybe you shouldn’t. It’s making everyone disappointed and irritated. It’s annoying and you should really address the issue. Thank you for your time..Version: 2.0.4
