### 5/5 — Good game!

*2026-08-19, version 1.4.14*

In Chinese 这个游戏非常有意思，能让人沉迷在其中！

### 3/5 — Another ads screen

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.14*

Another game where you spend more time in ads than playing

### 1/5 — Not even playable now

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.14*

I tried to play Minesweeper for the first time in a while today. I used to love this game, but it’s not even playable anymore! Just a few seconds in, pop-up comes over the whole screen wanting me to play a different game. I don’t see any way possible to go back to the game I was playing, so I closed.. I reopened the app and started another game, only to get a different game pop-up. This one looked vaguely interesting so I tried playing it. In the middle of playing the new game I was sent to the App Store to get it. Ok, they got me. When I went into the new game I was just getting the hang of it when another new game popped up & I was unable to get out of it again! I was annoyed by this point, so once again I reopened Minesweeper & this time played a whole game. But when I tried to start another, once again they covered the screen with yet another game!

I occasionally play a game or two when I want to relax. I don’t want to play just to get frustrated & annoyed. So I’ll be looking for a different version of a Minesweeper type game.

### 1/5 — Ads.

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.14*

In the middle of a game up pops an ad that I didn’t want.

### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2026-08-17, version 1.4.14*

Too many adds

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2026-08-16, version 1.4.14*

Still a lot of glitches like the game told me it had 1 bomb touching the time and I already I had 1 bomb touching the ones and it still had another bomb touching them which would make it them a 2 instead of a 1

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-08-14, version 1.4.14*

Not worth the ads. Games I bugged, so 1s show when there should be 2s

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.14*

Minesweeper is cool verity mention

### 5/5 — 5 star but there is no way to restart the game

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.14*

It is a good game but I can’t restart the game please reply

### 2/5 — $3.49 for no ads..

*2026-08-07, version 1.4.14*

—That’s a humiliation ritual.
