Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It is so much fun to play and it has different levels of places.
2048 gives us the adrenaline to get through our day. This is better than coffee or any type of caffeine. Nothing satisfying than getting a perfect 2048. 2048 singlehanded cured our depression when our friends and family ignored us. 2048 is a true lifesaver and we wish more people would give it a chance.
This is a really good mentor game for your brain with no ads which is good.
We love this game it pushes us to use our brain.
This game is fun overall to play on your Apple Watch but its very hard and its hard to make two numbers join sometimes but overall its a pretty good game. We just wish there would be more game modes and different colors and functions.
The game is good and doesnt have too much ads, the games are fun and their are tricks to win every time.
Why does it not show our score when we look at the scoreboard? It shows some scores.
Seems like a fun game when it works, however the ads start and you cant get past them. Have to exit and wait some indeterminable amount of time and come back.
This game is fun and relaxing! We love it.
It is an amazing game and gets your mind ready for a long day. We do it everyday before our math class and it gets our mind going and ready to learn. We really request this game.
Very fun completes the job and barley has any ads. Perfect! If you ask us we wish there where was somewhere you could play your continued game and that the numbers wouldnt disappear. Other than that, we love it !! Good on apple watch too.
We love this game. Its simple, and very easy to play on the Apple Watch. We didnt think there would be many games that are playable on a surface that small, but this is perfect! Its challenging enough to keep us entertained, but not so difficult that we find ourselves giving up. Great game.
This game is really good but two things we dont like about this is that the sound for this is really annoying and that when you leave the app and then come back your game becomes blank and you cant see the numbers, other than that the game is really good.
We like this game but we just dont like how when you move you cant but try again you cant then the 3rd time you can.
If we could then we would give 0 we only put 5 to let others see it first yes we are big brain.
We do not like this game it is horrible we would give it 0 star if we could.
Never get this. Its boring, it spys on you like talking Tom, and it can put you in danger.
10/10 game, nothing to complain about.
We downloaded this game and its very fun. But it doesnt show up on our watch. How do we get it on our watch.
Just an eh doesnt works just ok with Apple Watch but its just eh.
This is by far the worst game on our watch we can hardly play because of all the problems it has and on our iPhone we cant even delete the app. Other pro are there including our iPhone, this isnt even a time consumer it just broke our phone thanks.
This game seems decent on iPhone, but every time we try to open it on our Apple Watch (series 3) it says it needs to be installed on our iPhone, and that we cant play, but we have it installed on our iPhone. Ive tried all forms of restarting, as well as deleted the app on our phone and watch, and no luck.
We would give this 5 stars because its programmed well and optimized for Apple Watch but the menu button becomes your worst enemy when you play this. When we play the game on the Apple Watch each round we press the menu button on accident at least 50 times. It really ruins the fun of the game please somehow make the game so you swipe each way to combine tiles instead of tapping so you dont end up clicking that a ton. Thank you and we hope you read this we will continue to play this game despite the menu button.
We really like this game but can you please add the back button where u can redo your last move? We think it would make this game more fun and make things a lot easier. That way people could get a very high score. (Very relaxing).
Great game to relax by and use your brains.
This is such a calm game and we love to play it in the mornings while Im eating breakfast before school. If youre looking for a calm game you should get this one. Its challenging but fun at the same time! 5 stars.
We have 20 points from the challenge area but we cant see a leaderboard.
This is the best game! Besides being fun and challenging, it is the perfect game to keep you entertained while waiting; in the doctors office, the DMV, car repair shop, etc. No worries if you have to quit in the middle of a game; if you close it you just start over.
This game is fun and very easy/ interesting for everyone.
Cool game but maybe add something new? But still a good game to play when bored.
This is a good game, we recommend it for people that like challenging games and they also like puzzles.
Like and subscribe to mr BEAST and you will find money on the street today.
So simple and so impossible. This stress inducer actually helps us relax and learn to accept life as it comes.
The game is good just add more game modes please.
Got this game as a game to wind down withsort of an active meditation. After a month or so of not winning on the 2048 level, suddenly we were going further toward the end. At first we thought maybe we were improving, but when our 4 year old opened the app and was getting as far as we did, we started to wonder. For a few days, we just randomly slid the tiles. We kept getting within a few moves of winning. The time we won, we wasnt looking at the board half the time. Reminds us of all the Bejeweled type games where you slide and match. The program determines whether you win or not based on what it gives you after each move.
Ive got only problem with the game- after a lot of playing we finally managed to reach the 16384 tile in a classic game, but was not allowed to continue. The game told us to start anew, rather than allow us to continue. Unfortunate choice to limit the player on an otherwise fantastic edition.
Wayyyy too many ads in this game and the UI is very clunky needs some major improvements it looks like it was coded by a 1st grader.
Dont by No Ads. It does nothing. Has to be restored every time the app is restarted.
We just got this app and has been great so far! A little bit laggy on our watch, but otherwise it was great.
Still haven't tried it but can it work on the Apple Watch WITHOUT the iPhone?we mean,we have 2 iPhones but bc we go to school and we give our phone to our dad.our other phone is broken.
… And that's good enough for us! As in the title, needed a way to kill time on our watch.
