GOAT
I love it
I paid for no ads but ads still come
????
Mute
Should have an option to mute
Crash and lost high score
There isn’t much to this game, you could use AI to create your own. I was playing my second game, it crashed, and it reset to the game I continued over an hour ago losing 1+ hour of play and my high score.
Dark mode
Dark mode would be great please!!
To the app creators,
Will you do, on this app, on the year, 2048? Please spread this message around everywhere so its noticed.
Great but made lame
Best game on this handheld super computer but quite obviously it’s ran by greedy advertisement grubbers. I’ll always close the app before you show me an ad. Ad lads you are wasting money.
Gemma -
Ts a good game if you don’t won’t anything to social.
Big Glitch
I have enjoyed playing this game for a few weeks now, but recently it’s not let me play it! It just turns grayish and doesn’t let me click it! Please fix this!
Ads seem to bug it down?!
A recent change causes it to almost grind down to a halt. Seems related to the ads. Very annoying. Pretty much brings my iPhone 13 down... I need to leave mid-game.
What are you supposed to do in this game
The game is super fun for a math class and it is really fun to play with your classmates and you’re classmates that aren’t your friends thay will become your friends because they will be nicer than they were
basics
The game is great. It’s a basic game. Why is there an ad after every single match? And why is it $8 to go ad free? $1 max
+1 for dark mode
This is a fun and relaxing game, but it sure would be nice to have a dark mode. It’s too bright at night when one is trying to wind down.
Ads Slow App to Crawl
This is supposed to be a simple puzzle game that can be played in airplane mode. The ads slow down the entire app—no, MY ENTIRE PHONE—to a ridiculously slow lag. I turn on airplane mode and suddenly my phone—and the game play—doesn’t take 15 seconds to respond to a tap. Figure this out if it’s not intentional to get pro to pay for ad free. Also, this app consumes more data than Google Maps, so be weary
Square Spawn Lag
“2” and “4” squares used to spawn immediately after a move. Now, there’s a clear lag between a move and a new square spawning in
I like the relaxing games that make me feel relaxed when I’m playing them
5/5
Ads are loud even when game is on mute
Trying to play a quiet game, have game on mute but at the end of a game it sends you straight to an Ad that blasts at full volume. Very disappointing
Dark mode, please
I’ve played this game for years and every night that I open it up. I wish there was a dark mode. It’s a great mind quiet app for the end of the day but it’s so bright.
The new update is broken
The animations in the newest newest update are horribly jerky and feel awful to play with. The app also doesn't even render all the text correctly anymore. I really hope they revert this change or I might end up deleting this app.
Too many ads
I’ve had this game for a number of years and always loved it for a quick interlude of swiping, and could go game after game without I interruption, but now there is a pop-up ad after every single attempt -sorry but game is deleted.
16384 tile problem with iPhone 7 iOS 11
The game causes me to run out of room when I try to get the 16384 tile. I understand that the tile is hard to get but if I'm using a good strategy, the board should have enough room to get me to the 16384 tile. I want this to be fixed in the next update. It's really annoying. I've contacted you guys on twitter and you don't answer.
Undo button
What happened to the undo button?
Version 4.0 is slow
Just updated to version 4.0 (May 2026) and the responsiveness to moves is exceedingly slow, to the point that it’s basically unplayable. Please look at what was “fixed” that might have caused this situation.
Ads too long
I like the game, but not enough to sit through 2 minutes of ads each play.
cool game but...
why is it so bright? lol can we at least have settings to make it less bright? i hate having to constantly change the brightness of my phone because this app feels the need to look like an electric billboard in times square also... what is this new snapping? please put the smooth scroll back - also, i found a bug: my grid just flipped itself and everything that was on the right side instantly swapped to the left.
#bestgameever!!
Oh gosh this really is an amazing game. Like someone else mentioned, I to play before bed and wish it had dark mode. Other than that, best game ever!! I play every day and am hooked
Ads that do not end
This game never had ads on android. Now there are ads at the end of a lost game that you can’t exit out of even after they have run their corse. All I can do is force quit and launch it again. Looking for another version of this game
Fun game
Great game to while away some time. Right now it has an annoying delay. Never had it before
Trop de publicités
Les publicité sont trop envahissantes, elles sont longues et on ne peut pas les sauter.
Can’t turn sound off
I used to enjoy this but in iOS 18 I can’t turn the sound off. Annoying
Super great for your brain and it’s fun
This game is super and great for your brain if you are at home or it is summer this is a fun way to learn and it is super addicting and it is not to easy it is actually really hard but fun at the same time!!!😃
Unbelievable
How this is even possible?! If there is only one possibility for having some sort of special option that will cause that you lose the game, this app makes that happen. I am in an exact situation right now and I would like to attach the screenshot of it, but I am afraid that is not possible. Can you please talk to your developers (if any) ?! Thanks a lot for your unbelievable game.
New update
Have loved this game for years - new update makes it unplayable on my iPhone XR
Disappointing
This was my favourite game for such a long time, but when the game started lagging it makes it really hard to enjoy. I had never had this problem before and thought it was my phone but it seems everyone is having this problem
Pretty good but…
The game cuts out every time I open the app I can get 1 every 100 times.
no i’ll kinda
nb tv ch
Update sucks
I’ve played the game for years but the lag time on the new update is embarrassing
Age rating…
Someone I know has this game and it seems fun and I really want to get it, but the age rating is 13+. This seems a bit too much. If you could possibly swap to 4+ (the default for simple apps) or simply even 10+ that would’ve greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Launches safari
When you lose a game, it opens a link. As you try to swipe away, it often launches safari and takes you to that advertising website without your permission. I thought this was enough of a security risk that I deleted this app and loaded a different version.
Game Over error
If I left the app mid-game and opened it later it’s always Game Over and all the progress is lost. Extremely annoying!!
Obsessed
I’m kind of obsessed with this game. It’s not expensive. Pay once, play forever. Play offline! What’s not to love!?
2,4,6,8,10
1 out of5
Ughh
Its a really good game but the adds are soooo long
Overheating
The phone overheats and lags significantly while playing this game.
Good game but multiplayer changed?
I was having a lot of fun with this game until I updated it and for some reason, you can’t choose whether you want to play against a friend or a random person online. You are instantly queued against somebody
Go to game for waiting rooms
Dark mode would be cool, but please don’t change anything else. This is a good simple game that is challenging. Doesn’t need and bells or whistles.
Background music
Background music will not stop playing from ADS
Too much adds
I love this game but, I wish there was less adds. Although, you guys should still download this app 🎮
Turn off sounds
Great game but really annoying that there isn’t a feature to turn sounds off
New update problem
The new update UI board has moved a bit up and is out of reach of thumb and is not convenient anymore.
