The original version gives you options to change the face of the tiles so you do not get board of the same tiles. This version only has ONE tile option where the only change you can make is to change the background color of the tiles, which to me just makes the board look so cheesy.
The original version allows you to shuffle when there are no moves left. This version forces you to start a new game. I understand that it is part of the challenge with the score, etc...however, having the option would be nice.
I paid $5 for this app & completely regret it! I play it, hoping I will learn to like it, but I always end up playing the original version.
