Woodber vs 2248
Woodber is a good game for those who enjoy number puzzles, but its overwhelming ad frequency and technical issues make 2248 a more reliable and enjoyable choice.
Woodber offers an engaging number game experience, but it is heavily criticized for excessive and intrusive ads, frequent lags, crashes, and freezing. While 2248's reviews are not provided, the stark negativity surrounding Woodber's user experience makes it a less appealing option despite its core gameplay.
Head to head
Evidence note: The comparison is heavily one-sided due to the lack of reviews for App B (2248). All 'b_take' fields are empty, and 'edge' for most dimensions is 'tie' because there is no evidence for App B. The assessment of Woodber is based solely on its provided reviews, which are overwhelmingly negative regarding ads and technical performance, despite positive comments on its core gameplay.

- [R5] Woodber Woodber-Classic Number Game: Very interesting thinking game
- [R11] Woodber Oddly Relaxing: I have no Clue why but the concept of this game is very relaxing and I finally might go to sleep
- [R12] Woodber Updated Review: 3rd time this is happened. I bought an ad free version I love. Been playing for several year and easy to play while listening to audio books. I loved the Journeys that had harder challenges and now not seen a Journey in several weeks and playing the classic game the 1st 2 stages are “Classic” them the 3rd one is a different format. I can’t do that hard one and concentrate on audio
- [R16] Woodber Great game: Fun and challenging. Only suggestion would be an undo option.
- [R2] Woodber Too many ads: Loved the game pre IOS 26. It doesn’t play well at all with the new system. Lags, crashes or freezes. And, yes, way too many ads. Please make it compatible with IOS 26.
- [R3] Woodber Nice: Love this game just lags REALLY bad. Fix this and I’ll up my stars. (Lags as in when I press a box it takes a while to register)
- [R7] Woodber Love it but it doesn’t work: I’ve downloaded it 5 different times. I love it! But it lasts about 3 days and then stalls… delete … reinstall… 5 times. Every single time it crashes. I’m so glad I never made a purchase. I had been seriously thinking about it.
- [R29] Woodber Until you update for Tahoe: Those of us who update can’t open the game. Way to stay up on your apps. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled. Woodber STILL won’t open.
- [R1] Woodber Ads are too much: Good game but the ads are too much. Sometimes 4 and 5 minutes before the Royal Match/Royal Kingdom ads allow you to X out. Sometime you have to watch 2 ads to progress. Developers - surely you can do better by us.
- [R6] Woodber Ads are relentless: Good game, challenging but interesting. But the ads are relentless and I mean they pop-up multiple times during the course of around. If you leave your screen untouched for 10 to 15 seconds next time you touch, there is an ad, and I mean the ads are long. The ads ruin gameplay. I could understand if there’s an ad at the end of each round but not multiple times over the course o
- [R9] Woodber Ads and more ads: The higher level you accomplish the more frequent the add- annoying!
- [R10] Woodber TROP DE PUBS: Excellent jeu mais beaucoup trop de pub.
- [R13] Woodber The ads are INSANE: Every single time you minimize the game to do something on your phone an ad plays when you reopen; and I mean EVERY TIME so even if you JUST watched an ad, another one plays just for reopening the game. Then, they even added mini ads that play sound you can’t turn off in the bottom corner of the game WHILE YOURE PLAYING. So it is not relaxing at all. I had to delete it. Unplaya
- [R17] Woodber Too many ads: This game would be awesome if it weren’t for the ads. 30 seconds of play, then 1 1/2 - 2 minutes of ads plus your device locks up. I really liked it but I’m sure there’s better out there and if these ads are a ploy to get me to pay for ad free…..sorry, no dice.
- [R37] Woodber You’ll watch ads one way or another….: Don’t be lured into paying the additional $10 bucks to get ad free, you won’t. You’ll be watching ads for features you normally get for free if you play on YouTube.
- [R45] Woodber Obnoxious Ads: I get it that ads pay bills. However, this App needs to curb the length of them! Waiting 1-2 minutes through an ad is over the top. The game is fun. I even paid for ad free. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean ad free…..
- [R48] Woodber Way to may ads: Way to many ads. Every time that you want a hint or need to add a line or even clear the screen it’s an ad. How many ads do you need or they charge $10 per month to not have them. So frustrating
