### 5/5 — Classic minesweeper

*2021-03-21*

What a fun version of my favourite windows game

### 5/5 — addictive yet annoying

*2021-03-05*

Addictive and annoying

### 4/5 — Nice

*2021-01-09*

An old game, still nice realization

### 5/5 — Un classico

*2020-12-13*

Sempre adorato. Purtroppo ci sono partite in cui non è possibile capire il contenuto di una casella perché le circostanti hanno numeri tali per cui la casella può essere sia mina che no...lasciando tutto alla fortuna..

### 4/5 — Plz update with the option of press a number and clear if mines are marked

*2020-11-07*

Very fun the game I spend a lot of time for unlock achievements and enjoy a lot. I just wish that in a future update have the option that if I have the bomb mark and I press the number it clear the space around as others minesweeper games do. Idk if I explained well enough. Thanks a lot

### 5/5 — An old fave!

*2020-07-28*

Happy I found this! Fun!

### 5/5 — Great classic

*2020-04-19*

Time passer

### 5/5 — Simple yet effective

*2019-12-31*

I enjoy the various styles you can choose from

### 4/5 — Great game - thank you

*2019-10-09, version 1.60*

Squares tiny - bit hard to see and to tap the right one

### 5/5 — Vintage e perfetto

*2019-10-06*

Che dire. È il classico campo minato. Funziona bene e fa tornare alla mente la fine degli anni 90

### 5/5 — Amo questo gioco

*2019-05-02*

Dopo anni che non giocavo a campo minato (prato fiorito) ho deciso, un po’ per sfidarmi, un po’ per scherzarci, di scaricare questo gioco. 
Come il classico prato fiorito, il sistema di gioco complesso è facile da comprendere con un minimo di allenamento, tutto un gioco di logica e ragionamento!
Consiglio questo gioco a chi vuole usare un po’ del suo tempo per un gioco logico ed intuitivo.

### 5/5 — Einfach und gut

*2019-04-27*

Danke

### 5/5 — Un classico, intramontabile

*2019-04-14*

Un “must” per chi ci ha giocato ai tempi di Windows 98.

### 5/5 — Il vino buono non invecchia mai

*2019-03-21*

Il gioco ovviamente è vecchio come stila ma sempre spettacoloare dovrebbero estenderlo per renderlo piu difficile

### 5/5 — Campo minato

*2019-01-28*

È un passatempo divertente che tiene occupata un poco anche la mente. Non il solito gioco. Qualcosa di originale.

### 5/5 — Minesweeper

*2019-01-21*

Il buon vecchio campo minato su iOS!

### 5/5 — Ricordi

*2018-12-30*

Mi piace perché mi ricorda quando da piccola giocavo sul pc di papà

### 1/5 — So many ads 🤮

*2018-08-25*

Right from the beginning this game is filled with ads. So 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Was great

*2018-06-06*

This was a great app until the last update, now only crashes when trying to open

### 1/5 — Avoid. Just terrible

*2018-01-06*

Better minesweeper clones out there. This one is hard to flag. Not managed to complete a game without setting off a mine. Would read the tutorial in game if that worked but does not.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-08-03*

Won't play just crashes

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2016-05-06*

The game is boring and there are loads of adds

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2016-03-23, version 1.00*

This game is fun to play and works great... when not crashing. Happens all the time.

### 3/5 — Good besides ads

*2025-01-29*

It works well but the ads are pretty annoying with no way to get rid of them

### 3/5 — Werbung lässt sich nicht entfernen

*2021-05-16*

Das Spiel ist ganz nett und retro, aber die Werbung stört das Gesamtbild und lässt sich nicht entfernen.

### 3/5 — The classic look, but no way to remove ads

*2019-12-31*

I like this game a lot. You can’t do the custom sizes like the Windows original, but it does have 3 skill levels (board sizes). Banner ad during game and full-screen after each game. I’d gladly pay a few dollars to remove the ads but I see no option to do so.

### 3/5 — Great game, terrible glitch

*2018-08-01*

I love playing minesweeper but when I close the app it won’t let me back in
I tired downloading the game again but it still won’t let me in
Can you please fix this?
