  1. [R8] Number Match 5/5 · GB So addictive: I play this game far too much honestly speaking, for how little there is to be done I’m so addicted to playing it all the damn time. I play a lot while watching tv which is definitely a habit I could go without however I just enjoy it so bad.
  2. [R39] Number Match 5/5 · GB A good game to play: I think this game is good for relaxing,fun and lots more so if you are ready for a challenge then play this game
  3. [R21] Number Match 5/5 · GB Satisfying game: I played so many games this weekend, all downloaded randomly, but I think I have enjoyed this one the most.
  4. [R15] Number Match 3/5 · GB Decent but flawed: The game is very playable but the ads are very intrusive and far too often interrupt game play. Most of the ads are for scam games where they promise you can win real cash… Also, a flaw in the game is that they haven’t included any increasing difficulty as the game progresses, meaning that if you have a basic understanding of how these games work, you can play endlessly. In on
  5. [R25] Number Match 4/5 · GB Fun, flawed and addictive but too many ADS: Fun, simple and gets you hooked on getting progress. However game performance seriously suffers and seems to train battery life and also suffers from terrible lag which can also lead to mis inputs and hinder your progress. Needs to be smoother to play and worst of all, far far far too many ads. You play almost 4 moves and it’s throws up another ad.
  6. [R2] Number Match 4/5 · GB Glitches: Keeps glitching. Stops during play and I have try to turn my phone off so it will clear. Disappointing.
  7. [R3] Number Match 3/5 · GB They need to fix their bugs mate: Fun game but it keeps randomly crashing. As in my entire phone becomes unresponsive and then I get booted back to my lock screen. I thought it may be my phone but I just got a new one and the same thing is happening.
  8. [R4] Number Match 1/5 · GB Fix it.: fix your game it crashes my phone.
  9. [R5] Number Match 5/5 · GB Game crashing: Hello, I’m experiencing consistent crashes in Number Match: 2048 Puzzle (Version 572). Device: iPad 9th Generation (Model A2602) iPadOS: 26.5 I’ve been playing the same game for approximately six months and have a cumulative score of 2,539,542. For the past seven days, the game has been crashing directly back to the Home Screen. The crash occurs repeatedly after about 20 minutes
  10. [R18] Number Match 1/5 · GB Most buggy game I’ve ever installed: Constant freezing mid game. Freezes your entire phone. When you can finally open the app again all progress is lost
  11. [R19] Number Match 5/5 · GB Addictive and thoughtful game: The adverts were oppressive, but the game is easily good enough to justify the one-off cost to remove it. It is easy to lose hours playing this game.
  12. [R22] Number Match 2/5 · GB Ads: Paid for no ads still getting ads
  13. [R13] Number Match 1/5 · GB Don’t bother: I purchased this game many months ago and enjoyed playing it up until a week ago. I had a new phone and since then my progress has been completely lost. I have submitted a support ticket and received nothing but an automated response. Restore purchase didn’t work so now I am stuck at level 0 and have lost all my coins I had built up. Very annoying.
  14. [R20] Number Match 1/5 · GB Doesn’t Go Passed 137B: I was enjoying and managed to achieve the 137B marker and eliminate the 1M squares…. After logging out and back in the score had not registered and I still had 1M squares…… to my frustration ….. I played ALL DAY and spent £20 to use tools to get through this level again!!!!!! Lo and behold I’m back in AND my score has not been kept and I still have the 1M squares and top bl
  15. [R65] Woodber 1/5 · US Rip off: I got really tired of the ads so I paid the $10. Still got ads. Restored purchase-said ads were removed. Guess what still getting ads
  16. [R70] Woodber 3/5 · US Ad is misleading: I really enjoy the game but beware that it is not the same as advertised. I paid for the ad free version and I still end up watching a lot of ads to play it properly - so only 3 stars.
  17. [R77] Woodber 1/5 · US Ad handling is broken: I enjoyed the game and finally purchased it. However upon getting a new phone, now the app shows ads. I hit the restore purchase, and it says successful. I deleted and traded the app and I still get ads. Now I have to try to get a refund from Apple.
  18. [R24] Number Match 2/5 · GB Great game but freezes too often!: Was hoping after an update that the freezes would have gone but still another update where the incredibly annoying freezing keeps happening. Such a shame because the game is so good! But becomes almost unplayable. Considering it’s cost me £6 to get rid of the adverts, for such a simplistic game I would hope that it would at least be reliable. REALLY HOPING TO F
  19. [R6] Number Match 3/5 · GB Not for children: Be cautious about allowing your child to play this game with ads as, although the game is 12+ there are a lot of adverts for 17+ apps (fifty shades of grey style novels/audio books). The adverts have suggestive pictures in the background also. That said, I do love the game but can’t give it a top rating due to the poor ad filtering.
  20. [R78] Woodber 5/5 · US Inappropriate Ad: Please review the ads before allowing them to post. Just saw one with young girls dressed inappropriately, digital or not.
  21. [R98] Woodber 1/5 · US Too many ads, too many inappropriate ads.: For one I had to delete the app because I have nothing but black screen when I would open it. After opening it, every ad was AI generated not appropriate for children who also play this game on my phone. So deleted it again and will not play.
  22. [R33] Number Match 4/5 · GB Super fun and enjoyable: I was reccomended this game by a friend and it is one of the best games I have. I play it so much and it is so addictive It is fun, gets the brain working, saves progress and there aren't a crazy amount of adverts. The only flaw with this game is that there is no increase in difficulty and so you just keep on playing without it getting any harder.
  23. [R38] Number Match 2/5 · GB Boring!: On my first ever play through (started 2 months ago) I am now at a billion, billion, billion with no sign of ever losing! The game does not get harder so you just keep on going! However, as you can probably tell, it is very addictive!
  24. [R44] Number Match 1/5 · GB Addictive but futile: Strongly addictive but very dull. No progression to the game, just more of the same.
