Love the game it’s relaxing but I have some ideas to make it better 1: please add colors to the game once you make it to 4096 the black color gets a little bit boring so make a color scheme please. 2: add different grids to the game like 3x3 and 5x5-8x8 because I’ve got to the point we’re I’ve got so high I can’t get higher because there’s not enough room so add more grids please. 3: please add more then one undo make it five so people can make more progress, and please fix the undo glitch sometimes when I need to undo I Press the button and it doesn’t undo and I have to restart and that’s annoying so please add these to the game Thankyou.

Overall, I love this app. Not a lot of iOS apps have the original game’s 10% 4 spawn rate, and the game runs really smoothly. However, I do have two big issues with it. The first is the fact that there is no indication at the game over screen as to whether or not the undo button was used. I’m in a 2048 Discord server where we host tournaments and the rankings are based on the sum of your top legitimate scores, and without being able to see if the undo button was used it is very difficult to see if a score was faked or not, since you can simply toggle the undo off before you die and it will not appear on the game over screen. I feel that it would be better if there was a counter at the game over screen showing how many times the undo button was used over the entire run, regardless of whether or not it is toggled on at the end of the run. My second issue is that I fel that the app is much too sensitive to swipes. I have had this app register a literal tap as a swipe before, even though my finger barely moved at all. This can benefit players who are trying to get a faster time, but I have had games ruined because the app registered a swipe up when there was none. At the very least I think there should be a feature that allows players to adjust the swipe sensitivity to guard against these accidental swipes.

I’m sure you’ve all heard this if you read the other reviews but I just CAN’T stand the ads. They appear literally every game and you can’t X it out. And with the amount of sensitivity the screen has, you’re bound to blow the game. I swiped right and it went down, and everyone knows that’s the worst thing to do. Furthermore, when I was told I could change sensitivity in the menu, there wasn’t one. I’m not sure if an iPhone 6s is too old to access the update, but I can’t believe that just accidentally touching the screen with a bit of skin can count as a swipe. The game itself was glitchy and stopped working entirely for a whole 2 minutes in the first 10 minutes I got it. In the first round, I made it to 256 with 6 misinputs. The only thing stopping me from giving this 1 star is because I do like the game itself and don’t really find it boring yet. I’m deleting this app, it only lasted 15 minutes(including the time it took me to write this review). In short, I’m extremely disappointed and recommend an online version with no ads. There are a few that are websites and don’t have ads. Hope this helps!
