It comes down to entirely 50/50 guesses. I have the “guess free games” setting applied but it does nothing. I don’t want to guess to win. I want to solve to win like a sudoku. Also why do the daily challenges give you so little time? I’m no slouch and move very quickly but there’s no way to find all the mines in time. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful looking and feeling game ### 3/5 — To hard *2026-08-23, version 1.4.14* To hard and easy ### 2/5 — Please give an option to switch back controls *2026-08-22, version 1.4.14* When I first played it was 1 click to place a flag and 2 to clear the spot. This felt much more fluid than constantly switching between modes and felt closer then the fluidity of left/right click of pc. My enjoyment has been severely lessened due to this ### 3/5 — Another ads screen *2026-08-18, version 1.4.14* Another game where you spend more time in ads than playing ### 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 ### 2/5 — $3.49 for no ads.. *2026-08-07, version 1.4.14* —That’s a humiliation ritual. ### 4/5 — 24 hr doesn’t work *2026-08-05, version 1.4.14* Daily challenge 24hr timer doesn’t work. Sick of loseing my daily record after only 12hr. Is this because im from nz (a day ahead) ### 3/5 — Don’t know how to play *2026-08-05, version 1.4.14* Hard ### 3/5 — Bunny vs Monkey *2026-07-23, version 1.4.14* It’s to hard I hate it ### 2/5 — not beginner friendly *2026-07-22, version 1.4.14* Please remove the timer in levels for starting players so they can learn the game. The fact that there’s a timer just shows that the game has to be at such a high scale ceiling right in the beginning. It’s really not necessary so uninstalling this app to play a classic minsweeper app that doesn’t time me like this bs ### 3/5 — would rate higher if ads were less *2026-07-22, version 1.4.14* see abovw ### 4/5 — J’ai adoré jusque là. *2026-07-20* J’ai adoré jouer à ce jeu des heures et des heures. Malheureusement depuis quelques jours l’écran reste noir lorsque je le démarre. J’ai fais les mises à jour du jeu et de mon téléphone mais rien à faire. Pour le moment je ne supprime pas le jeu dsns l’espoir que ce soit corrigé rapidement. ### 4/5 — 有广告 *2026-07-17, version 1.4.14* 直接会跳转 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-31, version 1.4.14* This used to be playable. Now the greed of ads has ruined it ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Nonstop ads *2026-08-02, version 1.4.14* You can play minesweeper for free online without getting an ad every time you want a new game. ### 1/5 — You’ll spend more time with Ads than actually playing *2026-08-01, version 1.4.14* Just like the title says. Also marked a bomb next to a 1 and it somehow how two bombs next to it..? Don’t recommend this game at all. ### 1/5 — Too many forced ads *2026-07-28, version 1.4.14* too many forced ads ### 1/5 — don’t install *2026-07-16, version 1.4.14* full of ad ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-07-15, version 1.4.14* I really love the layout of the game and playing it but the amount of ads genuinely makes me so mad. After everytine you play one game you have to watch an ad, and they’re so long, I could go 20 seconds between rounds and have an ad, so annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — EDC *2026-09-05, version 1.4.14* TM ### 5/5 — нишевая игра, ставлю лосяру *2026-08-31, version 1.4.14* 😎🤙🏻 ### 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！ ### 5/5 — Рецензия *2026-08-14* Лучшая мобильная версия Minesweeper по моему мнению. В основном за счет огромного магазина тематик (всегда есть на что тратить монеты) и кастомные уровни. Много дополнительных функций, которые можно подогнать под себя. Особенно тут хороша система подсказок, так как в отличии от других игр, они не раскрывают конкретно где находится бомба, а лишь на область в которой логически можно ее обнаружить. Что касается ситуаций 50/50 - в настройках есть функция, позволяющая исключить игру в Теорию Вероятности :)) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Love this guy! *2026-07-19, version 1.4.14* Failed like 6 times for me to not even win at all love this game ### 5/5 — 💥💥💥 *2026-07-13* ЕСЛИ ИНЕТА НЕТ ТО ВООБЩЕ ЗАХОДИТ НА УРА. СПАСИБО ЧТО ВЫ ЕСТЬ ### 5/5 — NOSTALGIC *2026-07-12, version 1.4.14* Really nostalgic ### 5/5 — 5 out of 5 *2026-07-11, version 1.4.14* Great without ads, sizes are customizable. Good app overall. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
