This game has amazing staying power. I've gotten the 8096 tile. Stick with it.

Michel Anders

update: playing with the new version a couple days now and i wish i could revert: the overly big scaling causes me to make mustakes. with a 10 inch tablet the scale is just too big. Also some labels scale outside the squares and the replay button is almost of screen. Nice app & no adds is great but the app fills the screen and on my 10inch tablet that is a little bit to big for comfort. i wouls love an option to scale the screen (or set it to 'small' ie. Like 80% or so)

This was a great game but the latest update is terrible. Why do developers feel the need to mess with a perfectly good app, and make it worse? Please restore it to the previous version.

Why did they have to change it?

Great but addictive but great :)

We are looking at some scaling options. For now, turn off the Extended Swipe on the Menu to minimize mistakes.

Great game, app performance not so much I LOVE 2048, as a CS major and a math minor this game has got my number. The app performance in the time trial mode is lacking though. Several times the board has filled up while not reacting to multiple swipes. Better performance makes this a 5 star app! UPDATE: Recent update to app has improved performance in the time trial mode enough to get 4 stars. Still not quite as responsive as it needs to be to get 5 stars.

Irbaz Ahmed January 28, 2015

Great game, not so great app. I love this game. Thank you for creating it. I'm in college and I'm gonna rewrite this game in C++ as a part of my course's final project. And don't worry, I'm gonna give credit where its due. The web app as well as other play store apps are great and flawless. But this app doesn't perform well enough compared to others. It somewhat lags while other apps work just fine. I read your blog and understand that you're not experienced in Android. It's fine. This app is still very good and playable. I mean I just scored 5k+ in my first turn. It just needs to improve over time. Peace!

Madhurjya Roy September 19, 2016

Great, but needs improvement. I use this version among the many present in Play Store because this is the one made by the original creator of 2048. That said, this game isn't perfect and I am expecting a lot of improvements in future iterations. Some of them include [1] better responsiveness, [2] an option to remove ads or a paid version without ads, [3] an amateur mode with an option to undo the last move and [4] an option to use a dark colour scheme.

David Stafford June 22, 2014

Great game Have enjoyed playing this game. A few little bugs, such as the screen jumping when on more than 100k points and it can't put the decimal point value in next to the controls, but otherwise quite stable. The ability to adjust time trial mode speed would be nice. It's too fast on this phone. Ghost swipes were a small prob initially but worked out how to avoid them. Perhaps app needs to be more hardware aware, to allow for different device capabilities.

Sara Nielsen June 13, 2014

Add Night Mode! I love the game, but like others have said, it drains the battery on my Galaxy S3 REALLY quickly. It also sometimes swipes in directions that I didn't swipe and then all of my strategy gets ruined. I would suggest adding a "night mode" setting with a dark background so that it doesn't use as much screen brightness.

Giuseppe Cervino September 5, 2014

Buono Qualche lag ma niente di insopportabile. Suggerimento: col tempo il gioco tende a perdere interesse nella prima fase e si potrebbe consentire a chi ha raggiunto diverse volte (3, 5, 10?) 2048 di ripartire direttamente da lì.

Mr. Victory August 20, 2014

Flawless, except for... A very small glitch. When your score reaches 10k, the game board does this little shift downwards. And when you hit decimals on your score after hitting 10k it shifts back up. It keeps doing this at every 1k. Other than that it's a flawless addicting game.

Lisa D May 23, 2014

Not responsive to swipes This version of the game is terribly unresponsive to my finger swipes...I sometimes have to swipe 4-5 times per move to get any reaction. I could never play the timed version for this reason, but even the untimed version is so frustrating that I resort to playing one of the "copycat" versions which I also installed. No other apps have this issue on my Droid Mini.

Cyrano Jones August 7, 2014

I wish it were just a little better. I wanted to like this app. The webpage version is great. But the fingerswipe is a bit sloppy. At least once a game you'll see your tiles go somewhere unexpected. Very frustrating. ED: I have returned to drop a star, for the frustration caused when one of the few mixups takes you from 'poised to sweep the board' and deposits you abruptly in 'game over'.

Michael French July 12, 2014

Better Operating Versions Available Touch area needs to be entire screen, not just puzzle area. Game can not keep up when making quick successive moves in any mode. I do like the simple addition of a timer. Would like to see top personal scores list with time.

Crystal Machado June 30, 2014

Great game, great mind puzzler/strategy. Occasionally lags, can't do speed round.because my phone or the app can't register my moves as quickly as i would like it to. But it's fun, and I've spent half an hour in one round (so far high score is 11.5k)

Melody Soriano September 21, 2015

Copies are better... It's sad when the imitations are better then the original... The game lags to hell and beyond, the ads are intrusive and there is so much wasted space on the screen it's stupid. Edit: tried it again almost a year later and it's somehow worse.

Kacey Parkinson December 31, 2014

Newest version is great Game is brilliant. A bit like Rubik's Cube meets sudoku. Very fun to play, and oddly relaxing in a zen sort of way. If you want this one because it's from the original dev, I can confirm that on my LG Volt phone it's absolutely playable with the performance improvements in the latest patch. The battery drain issue may still be trouble for some folks, but there are other games out there far worse than this one in that respect.

Bryce Andrews June 20, 2015

Official app finally It's great that there's an official app now. Unfortunately, the scaling for android tablets (Nexus 7 2013 here) is terrible. Only the top quarter of the screen is used. Apart from that, it's not bad, but having a proper tablet implementation would be fantastic.

Asjad Hasan June 28, 2014

Great game My only grime is the ads and the small grid as compared to the other versions. All the credits to the original creator, but the other versions of this game have surpassed this one, clearly. No ads on those with a larger grid and better animations. Although I think that this game employs better algorithm. Can't beat the original with pretty only! 😊

Swarupa Chatterjee October 24, 2014

Galaxy Note 3 Absolutely addictive. Simple yet fun. Slightly laggy. Tiles do not move as fast as my stylus. This has a brief time based version which is different from the others. It's like 2048 on turbo.

Lisa Barrett December 19, 2014

Ads and drains battery I was keen to use the official app as I thought it would be the best. However, the performance is quite slow compared other versions and this version has ads. Also, my battery gets eaten away very fast and my phone is constantly complaining about overheating. It'a still a fresh game though!

David Lieberman May 14, 2014

Low responsiveness limits the fun. I like this game a lot, but end up always playing the non-timed version. The controls aren't very responsive on my phone, which makes the speed play tough for the wrong reasons. Droid RAZR M.

Michael Ploujnikov July 24, 2014

Simple fun Great for passing time and being antisocial at parties. I would rate it higher if the numbers were drawn more sharply. The pixelated images are hard to focus on and look amateurish.

Verde Mancato May 14, 2014

The ORIGINAL I fell in love with this game on the PC and have waiting for an authentic app version. I'll admit, I had one of the knockoffs before, but this one, the original one is best. Small ad banner at the bottom during play and some small bugs (score additions stay hovering over the top of your score) are the only two problems I see and those don't add up to a star reduction. Great, simple to play, and fun.

Steve L June 7, 2014

Great game but poor implementation Tried on 2 devices. On older one it was so slow I found it unplayable. Newer device more playable, but still feels clunky. In other better implementations, blocks follow swipe, but this one they only start moving when swipe complete.

Kabir Kuznetsov July 3, 2017

The game is great, the app was mediocre, now it's awful. The last update (2017-06-28) made the gameboard significantly bigger than the screen of my device. Is that what you call better scaling? Too bad.

Solebon LLC June 29, 2017

We haven't seen this behavior but thanks for bringing this to our attention. Can you send a screenshot to us here (solebonapps@gmail.com) so we can take a look?

Asif Abbas June 3, 2014

Great game but bad app Nerd to thank Gabrielle for creating the game. But the app is very badly designed. Poor responsiveness and crashes frequently. So will continue to use unofficial app till app becomes smooth

Jake Heneghan February 21, 2016

Needs better controls I've played this on both my smartphone and tablet, and both have the issue where swipes are recognised incorrectly. I've lost track of the number of times I've ultimately lost a game thanks to these bad swipes. Otherwise, it's functional.

Matt Delalac May 24, 2014

Using innovator apps can be so painful. Lets you play 2048. Also lets you experience inexplicably massive battery drain and hiccups in gameplay. Stable, though.

Daniel Mendoza May 13, 2014

Good start. The game is awesome, but the app isn't there yet. Everything looks blurry as if it were stretched out. Framerate has been improved, though. Will change score layout and controls improve.

Mark Mullen August 25, 2014

Entertaining with the odd bug Fun little time waster although every few games you get a bit of lag or bugs up after going past 2048 (can be sorted by going back to menu then continuing the game). Would be nice to have more colours for the 4096 and 8192 tiles instead of just black.

Ian Wait June 30, 2014

Original First off, this game is really fun, no matter whether I am playing the original or another accurate clone. But something seems better about the original. I guess that it's both authenticity and the fact that the original game was actually designed and thought out, not just a stolen idea.

Andreas Böhm May 13, 2014

Going the right way, but still not quite there It's a bit smoother now and the performance has notably improved, but the app still lags a few paces behind competition. It still stutters occasionally and input is still delayed. Until the point is reached when I don't have to repeat a motion in order to move tiles I will keep one of the other games in order to actually play 2048.

Jason Kester July 1, 2014

I really love this game, and I want to support the original, but I've got a couple of things holding me back. First, the game doesn't fill the screen on my tablet, and second, swiping is limited to the game board, which is only a problem because of the first item. It also seems to respond slower than some of the clones, but I'd easily overlook that for either the game board size or swiping anywhere on the screen. Fix those and it's 5 stars, all the way!

Seth Holmes May 13, 2014

Fun game, bad app I enjoy the web version of the game. But suddenly, there was this blurry bar appearing. Despite not being able to read it, it took me to the iTunes store. But I'm using Android. Clicking another unreadable location took me to the play store. The game itself is laggy. On a phone it looks fine but on my tablet it's about as big as it would be on the phone. The clones are designed much better but I'd really like to see this one improved.

Suraj Sharma April 18, 2017

Good but why is there a large space between the board & ad? UX would be better if the entire play screen detected swipes rather than just the small board. Other improvements could include undo button, change board size, dark mode, etc.
