This has left me with an abysmal win ratio lol ### 4/5 — Nice App *2024-12-19, version 1.19* Love the modern look. Two cells don’t take a flag: top row second from left, bottom row second from right. ### 4/5 — just enough *2024-09-15, version 1.19* runs and plays well, and clean. I think a no-guess mode would be nice though also im #361 in the rankings right now!!! ### 4/5 — Amazing but could be better *2024-08-23, version 1.19* Amazing game, very fluent and easy to play, but I wish the levels could get more complicated. Like being able to have a bigger grid with more mines to add some challenge. ### 2/5 — would be perfect but... *2024-08-11, version 1.19* grid zooms out slightly whenever you place or remove a mine and there is no way of turning this off ### 5/5 — Definitely one of the best minesweepers *2024-07-07, version 1.19* The way the game feels and the looks are honestly amazing and there’s no adverts aswell and honestly just the best app for minesweeper on the entire App Store but I’d like to put in a suggestion. Most of minesweeper is luck and that’s the way the games intended but sometimes it’s can be so tricky, wether it’s from when you start or the very last 2 pieces which either can be mines so my suggestion is to add a skill based mode where you don’t have to rely on luck the next time you’re almost finished or when you start. Another suggestion would be that if I reached a certain difficulty I could go back to it so for example if I reached the skull difficulty and lost I could go back to the highest difficulty or anything in the middle to test my skills. Other than those 2 suggestions the game is perfect and beyond expectations for a simple game. Good job. ### 3/5 — Incompatible with iPad pro *2024-06-25, version 1.19* This is a good game... On iPhone. Looks like the developer forgot to check all aspect ratios - there's no scrolling mechanic I can find, making the first level impossible to complete on iPad pro. Once that's fixed, my review will be too. ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for… *2024-05-04, version 1.19* Love the clean look and dark theme. Nice work! ### 5/5 — Muy buen diseño simple y limpio *2024-05-03, version 1.19* Es el único que he visto que tiene una interfaz simple y bonita, además me gusta que tiene el modo oscuro ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-04-12, version 1.19* As the description says the game has no ads, the game works great and has no bugs. If I was pressed for a complaint I would like to see other board sizes but overall great game ### 4/5 — Me encanta pero tiene un error en la generación de niveles *2024-03-22, version 1.19* Me encanta lo simple que es y que no tiene anuncios lo unico malo es que por la forma que algunos niveles se generan los hace imposibles de resolver de manera conciente, es decir algunas veces no tienes la información suficiente para decidir entre si una casilla tiene bomba no entonces terminas dependiendo de la suerte. Me gustaría adjuntar una imagen con un ejemplo de lo que me refiero ### 4/5 — Beautiful take on a classic game *2024-02-26, version 1.19* I absolutely love the simplicity of this, no ads, no in app purchases, just a simple game, my one complaint would be the amount of guessing involved, I’m not sure if this was intended or not but not every board is solvable with just logic. You can get stuck in a situation where you have to make a 50/50 guess and that’s no fun ### 4/5 — Amazing and seamless *2023-12-30, version 1.19* Love the game, very simple design and progress counter. Although sometimes it is just based on luck. Hope you fix this later on! Once again, no bad thoughts, just a kind reminder of fixing the bug. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Гра класна, але є одне «але»… *2023-12-19, version 1.19* Дизайн гри прекрасний і загалом усе чудово. Хіба що мені не зрозуміло чому в деяких рівнях часом можна зайти в глухий кут, де вже неможливо зрозуміти де саме міна, і єдине що залишається це вгадувати. Так не повинно бути, треба, щоб можна було чітко бачити де міни по цифрам, а не навмання тикати, бо більше нема варіантів. Дякую ### 4/5 — Great *2023-12-14, version 1.19* Great UI, if only we could have like a « theory flag » different color so we can put them to say I guess “these I think could be bombs” so we can plan. Otherwise love the app ### 5/5 — Красивый дизайн, понравилось *2023-10-22, version 1.19* Начну с того, что читая отзывы я знатно ох@ел, столько зетников в отзывах - я не видел. Само приложение имеет современный дизайн, мне лишь не хватает возможность выбора количества полей, как в других приложениях. В конечном итоге - понравилось. P.S: Я за Украину, спасибо за флаг на значке приложения 👍 ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2023-09-04, version 1.19* Нравится, что нестандартный дизайн, приятно играть Нет выбора уровней сложности и просто стандартное поле, скучновато За флаг респект) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not properly programmed *2024-06-23, version 1.19* Any good minesweeper game will be programmed to avoid the 50/50 chance issue. I played 5 games and had more than one every game. ### 1/5 — Mal programado *2024-05-28, version 1.19* El diseño y la funcionalidad me ENCANTAN pero esta mal diseñado porque no siempre puedes determinar en donde hay bombas ### 1/5 — Ладно. *2023-07-11, version 1.19* Хыхыххыхых ### 1/5 — Обман *2023-03-12, version 1.19* Бывает, что стоят мины там, где не должно быть и из-за этого проигрыш. Даже заскринил, но хз как добавить скрин сюда. ### 1/5 — Простоту разработки сгубил рандом *2023-03-01, version 1.19* Бывают ситуации, когда даже мегагении не смогут пройти уровень, так как бывают ситуации на окраине карты, когда мина стоит в 1 из 2 ячеек, а в какой никакая цифра не подскажет. + за долбоебизм на иконке, сори, это реально провал, разработка игры подобает уровню интеллекта поддерживаемой страны, такие же непредвиденные проваленные исключения допускают ### 1/5 — It doesn’t make sense *2023-02-11, version 1.19* You give me too many flags for the amount of bombs and some of the numbers don’t even make sense like a 3 with only 2 bombs next to it. Fix your game ### 1/5 — Шок контент *2023-01-18, version 1.19* Вы логотип свой видели? Вы думаете уважающие себя люди скачают это? ### 1/5 — Игры в не политики *2022-08-30, version 1.19* говорили они ) ### 1/5 — Вот так) *2022-08-16, version 1.19* Небо с полем это лишнее в играх) ### 1/5 — Флаг было лишним *2022-08-13, version 1.19* Давно играю в вашу игру , но зачем тащить сюда политику , украинский флаг мне надо теперь держат на свояи рабочем столе как ярлык вашего приложения …. Не я пас ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-19, version 1.19* Great and free and no ads. Can you add a way to see your rank in comparison to total players? Im rank 57 and I don’t even know if I’m like 57/1000 or like 57/60 or sum. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Fire *2025-12-13, version 1.19* The design is way better than retro ### 5/5 — 🐐 *2025-10-29, version 1.19* No adds, takes up no space ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-23, version 1.19* I could rate this one star, but that’s my skill, and this is about the game, which is 5 stars definitely! First money-free AND ad-free game I ever bought. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — underrated and best implementation of the game *2024-12-18, version 1.19* i really love the simplicity and the aesthetics of the game. the minimalism makes it so enjoyable. no annoying menus or settings or anything. great job making it as straightforward as possible. i’m usually not one to write reviews but i was appalled to see such a low number of ratings. i literally can’t come up w something you guys can improve on the game. FLAWLESS!!! ### 5/5 — Найкраща гра типу Minesweeper *2024-12-17, version 1.19* Розробнику реально респект за такий продукт. Гра заслуговує на всі 5 зірочок не тільки через відсутність реклами, а ще й за чудовий дизайн. Саме з цієї гри я почав свій шлях до професійного рівня. Звичайний Minesweeper зовсім не заходить молодому поколінню, а такий підхід до розробки підігріває інтерес у дітей до легендарних ігор, які ще й розвивають мислення. Було б дуже цікаво бачити топ найкращих гравців. Я зупинився на «Краще ніж 99% гравців», але хотілось би побачити топ найкращий. Як на мене, це створить спортивний азарт і закличе нових гравців. Сподіваюсь, що з часом Mines зʼявиться й на ПК. ### 5/5 — Great ad free minesweeper *2024-09-08, version 1.19* This is a solid ad free game. One suggestion, it’d be nice if you couldn’t lose lives on the first level, since once you do you might as well die two more times to fully reset and have a chance at a longer run. ### 5/5 — So beautifully simple *2024-08-14, version 1.19* To those complaining about needing to guess, get better. Based on my game statistics as of today, I have 23,756 wins with a 75% win rate. My top score is 318,145. My best win streak is 💧💧💧. It says I’m ranked 32 amongst all players. It’s a game I enjoy playing just to calm myself or make sure I’m mentally sharp. It’s amazing in its elegance and simplicity. The iPad version being larger is also one I enjoy. ### 5/5 — One complaint: I’m addicted now *2024-08-03, version 1.19* Ad-free, simple design that’s easy to understand, pretty much everything you’d want out of a minesweeper game. This game is amazing already, but there are a couple of things I would love to see added: 1. A leaderboard. 2. This might be hard to understand but bear with me - When you start a new game/streak and lose the first round, it would be nice to not lose a life since there’s no difference from the time of that loss and when you started. Thanks, have a great whatever time of day it is! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-07-11, version 1.19* Would be cool if there was a leaderboard, perfect otherwise! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
