2048

This app was once a reliable tool that I frequently used and recommended. However, recent updates have drastically changed my experience. The introduction of ads has become overwhelming. With an ad appearing every 30 seconds, it disrupts the flow and functionality of the app. This constant interruption makes it nearly impossible to use the app effectively. Due to the excessive ads, I can no longer justify keeping this app on my device. It has gone from being a valuable resource to a frustrating.

Found a secret that is only noticeable if you use the undo button multiple times. The random placement of newly spawned 2's and 4's is not random. It actually picks the WORST place that could cause your game to get mixed up. There can be 11 spaces empty and it will place the number in the 1 spot that blocks you more than 75% of the time. 15 times in a row it can spit the same number in the exact same space. Clearly coded to make the game unfair.

This is not a game, it's shamelessly transparent ad-delivery software. It's programmed to corral the player toward a loss and, more importantly, another foreign-language Facebook ad by waiting until they are in a flow state and a high scoring game. That's when the game starts spitting out 4-tiles instead of 2s, and "accidentally" counting three swipes instead of one. This only becomes easier to see the more you play it, but honestly, don't bother at all. It's a massive waste of your time.
