Community Insight:
Bubble 2048 was our most played game until the latest update. We even paid to remove ads. Now it doesnt work at all. It launches, but then just shows a screen with some fruit and a cloud and you cant click anything. How can we get the old version back.
Why would you do this? Just make a second game with the stupid fruit.
They updated and its not the same game we downloaded! This is NOT okay! DONT DOWNLOAD.
We kind of went down the rabbit hole playing this game. We purchased to remove the ads while playing we guess you can say Ive mastered it!!! Current score is at 15,580,996 with 2417 bombs, 450 more shots, and 100 combines we guess Ill keep going to see how far is too far.
Great game! First game at 77 thousand or so Second game at 22 million and counting. Noticed something interesting about the game while playing on an airplane in flight.
This game takes the stress out of our crazy life.
If you get rid of the bonus wheel it would be a perfect game.
Fun enough game if one can get by all the ads. And the majority of ads they play has no way to mute them. A game needs to be developed that when the game is muted, the ads need to be muted as well.
It's ACTUALLY a super nice game, yes, if it weren't for those interruptions from a new ball of 128. It used to be no problem: play offline that game, and no interrupters bothered you. But since the last update is that bothering back, even offline. If the programmer doesn't want you to be able to use the game, why is he making it available in this version? Let the games decide when a bonus could be available.
The ads after every single shot ruin what would otherwise be a very fun experience.
If your playing on a phone using cellular, turn off this game from using cellular in Settings. If youre using on Wi-Fi, do the first step and then turn off your Wi-Fi access in Settings. This will allow you to play without having to watch ANY ads!! Also works on any other game with annoying ads.
Please make a version that costs where you can have endless balls!!! CAUSE we WILL BUY THAT VERSION, FOR GODS SAKES.
When youre building momentum the game stops and pops an ad up. After the ad is gone so is your momentum. Also the longer you play, the game will lock up for 15 or 20 seconds.
Hate those adds. Need balls over 65536. We have just created the third 65536; the first two disappeared.
We have NEVER wrote a review for a FREE GAME! Because good or bad they are FREE!! We get that! This would be a very FUN game except EVERY TIME you create a ball 128 or larger its time for a spin with a 45 second commercial!!! What the heck?? We wouldnt mind if it was like after the 1024 ball!! But dang dudes!! After you combine two or three balls!!! Get over yourselves!! Cut back on the ads! That would keep folks from getting mad.
It stinks that every single time you merge (512+) the game stops for an ad. It should only stop the first merge not Every. Single. One. Kills the game. Shame. We love playing but it's too much with the constant ads and no way around it.
Way to many ads. Liked the game and would pay for an ad free version. But cant play with so many ads. SO MANY ADS.
We like this game a lot. Its fun and challenging. We very seldom complain about ads in a game, we usually just suffer through, but this game is ridiculous. We would even be willing to pay for an ad free version, but since none exists, we will be shelving this game until hopefully one comes along.
Fun but way too many adds and like every time you get a few combos, and the videos are way too long.
Too, too many ads! The game itself is fun, but theres not even an option to pay to remove ads. Uninstalling and looking for something else.
This could literally be our favorite game ever..we love games like this..but when theres an ad after every shot you make, that turns us off. We dont mind ads but this is overkill.
WAY TOO MANY ADS!!!! Anything from 128 and above produces an ad! We get the developers make money that way but your going to turn people off by forcing your players to constantly stop to watch ads! We like the game but Im probably going to drop it.
Like other have stated the game itself is fun and addictive, but we literally have ads popping up every 10-15 seconds which takes us out of the flow of the game. Maybe an as every 5 minutes or when you create a new ball, but we will make 2 balls and we get ads. Deleted.
Way too many ads, not to mention ads for some adult games not appropriate for kids.
Its a fun game but there are way too many ads for it to be worth it. Everytime you create a ball 512 or above you get an ad. Even after youve scored way above that. Every. Single. Time. Its too much. We played the game for less than 30 minutes before getting frustrated and deleting it. It would be fine if you had ads maybe every time you create a new ball with a higher number than youve previously created. That would make sense. We get that these games make money by showing ads but if youre showing so many that people stop playing after 30 minutes like us then doesnt that defeat the purpose? Rant over.
We appreciate that the app does not have in-game purchases and the ads are the developers source of income, the amount of ads is driving us crazy. For once, we would purchase an ad free experience, because this game is great. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ADVERTISEMENTS.
Please no more ads!!!! For the love of all that is good and holy! Provide a way to eliminate ads! We really like the game but we have to delete it. Its not worth our sanity! The ads! The ads! They are coming for you.
Please give us a way to turn off the ads. We can appreciate the ones where you get a bonus but to say no thanks and still get an ad. This ruins the game completely.
Every time you up-score commercial, every time you combine two balls commercial! Every other move commercial, you say no-thanks to a spin, you get a commercial! ENOUGH ALREADY! The game itself is good and very relaxing and we would love to sit and play for hours,, but the constant interruptions in the game make relaxing IMPOSSIBLE.
We finally gave up. The time spent watching ads greatly exceeds the time playing the game. We would give this 5 stars otherwise.
A fun way to waste some time but theres way too many ads and we dont even see a way to get back to the main menu to purchase the ad free version.
Its a fun game but the advertisements ruin it. If there was a paid version we would buy it. The ads make it unplayable.
This is a FUN, FUN GAME! But, every time you score a large ball it pops up and you cant keep the ball rolling so to speak and keep playing. We understand the ads need to be in there. Its a fun game ruined by every few pops. Change that so we can play for a continuous run until our balls give out and Ill write a RAVING REVIEW. Dont waste time on this 2048 game.
We play games to relax. The game is okay but, you guessed it, way too many ads. It is making us feel agitated. Not worth it.
Not worth playing…way too many ads.
This game could be fun if there were not so many ads! Even if you turn down an award for something, hoping you wont have to go through another ad, here one comes! You spend more time looking at the ads than you do actually playing the game! If we could have rated it a ZERO, we would have! One star is being generous.
Like other reviews have said, you get an ad after nearly every move. Developer is very excited to show you the next ad. The first time we hit the 16,000 ball we didnt get to see it because….there was an ad while the balls were still moving. On top of the constant ads, the game freezes in the middle of a shot. Its ok for the first 15 minutes or so but after playing a while it freezes nearly every shot. Sometimes multiple times per shot.
This would be an awesome game if we didnt have to watch an ad after almost every shot. Deleted game in frustration after 15 minutes of play. Really a shame. If you ever reduce the number of ads, Id like to play.
We have been enjoying the game itself, but the ads are NUTS. Every move. Every. Single. One. There is no way to purchase a no ads option. We are deleting it now. If you are thinking of downloading- dont. There are lots of other pool-type games to choose from.
Every time you combine a new ball with a new number you have an option to spin or watch ad. Well if you hit no thanks…An ad will still show up each on 30 sec long. This game stinks.
If you like adds then this is the game for you! Screw the fun of playing 2048. Just watch adds after nearly every 2-5 shots and even back-to-back-to-back adds. The game could be fun but we couldnt even find a way to purchase the game to not have adds. This game is a waste of time.
We love playing this game. The number of ads is ridiculous. Even when you pick the option of no thanks to the spin – half the time it takes you to an ad anyway. How serious are you about programming games.
It is very difficult to determine if the game is good. Getting a ad after making one move. Supposedly its a good thing to make a new ball, why is the reward a 30 second ad.
We really like this game, but it is irritating that every time you make a bubble of 128 or higher, it pauses the game to ask you if you want to spin. Trying to make the offer go away to restart the game often results in releasing the next bubble in a random way as you frustratingly tap on the screen, and if they would offer the option of removing that feature, we would be happy to pay a reasonable price for this game. Otherwise, we would never spend money on it even to remove ads. We enjoy playing it, but the pauses ruin an otherwise very fun time-wasting experience.
Why cant you buy it and get rid of the ads? Frustrating.
… The proportion of actual game time to ad time is ridiculously wacked, and turns a fun time waster into a bore.
Rather interesting, but a bit to many advertisements, that unbalance the puzzle play time.
Pretty much watching ads with a little bit of bubble shooter in between. Its unplayable with the amount of ads you are expected to watch. Even on airplane mode, the amount of times you level up each level, that comes with an ad is every 5-6 combine. Insane.
A fun game if it werent so frequently interrupted by ads. As well, it keeps asking permission to connect to our network. There is no reason for an app of this nature to be so invasive to privacy. Deleted and will not download anything from this developer in the future.
