I had this downloaded for a while, all the modes were neat and all. But there’s ads the moment you lose, the moment you exit the page, the moment you restart. I rage quit just from ads alone. So I’ve deleted it and will look for a new app. ### 1/5 — Ads are insufferable *2023-05-06, version 3.1.7* Last time I am playing the new Minesweeper. Just darn too many and long ads. ### 1/5 — unplayable *2022-11-11, version 3.1.7* i got 5 ads after 4 minutes of playing ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2022-10-17, version 3.1.7* There are multiple ads after every move and they’re unskippable. Considering how many times you lose in minesweeper, it gets obnoxious fast. ### 1/5 — Few problems *2022-09-24, version 3.1.7* Zoom is pretty bad and the minesweeper segment in the game is incorrectly coded ### 1/5 — First time writing a review *2022-08-16, version 3.1.7* For starters I wanna say I never wrote a review for an app before. Whether that has been out of pure laziness or an app has never upset me as much as this one is besides the point. Completing the puzzle on beginner to medium is no problem. Once you get to level hard the play board is much taller unless you pay for ads the ads will cover the top 2 to 3 rows of the plate board. When you scroll up it automatically scrolls you back down. Even if you turn your tablet or phone into rotation mode you will still have the same level of resistance when scrolling up to the top 2 or 3 rows of the play board. It makes for gameplay past level hard impossible so that’s why I give this app one star. ### 1/5 — New banner ad broke the game *2022-07-14, version 3.1.7* The latest update has added banner ads while you play the game that take up the top 1/6 of your screen. It also overlaps the top row of the game and makes it difficult to complete it. If the devs stick with this find another minesweeper app because this is not the best any more. ### 3/5 — Please play *2022-07-14, version 3.1.7* Great playing on my old iPad again because of nostalgia ### 1/5 — Used to love it *2022-07-14, version 3.1.7* I loved this game and have beat the insane level a few times. As of today I am looking for a new game. I do NOT want to see a distracting ad bar while I am playing or have to sit through a long ad that I can’t close. ### 2/5 — Ads *2022-07-13, version 3.1.7* Love minesweeper, been addicted to the game for months now… but the ads are out of hands now. I get two ads between games AND the ad on the top bar while you’re playing makes the game unplayable. Please remove some of these ads… ### 2/5 — No longer playable *2022-07-12, version 3.1.7* As of today the ads cannot be dismissed, and the more difficult games cannot be played at all because of a new persistent ad bar at the top that covers the upper rows. Way to ruin a good app… ### 1/5 — Bad randomiser *2021-12-24, version 2.4* There are many many instances in this where there is nothing you can do except guess. That isn’t minesweeper, that’s trash. ### 2/5 — too many ads *2021-12-22, version 2.4* filled with ads!!! after every game, 10sec ad pops up! ### 1/5 — What the actual heck *2021-11-23, version 2.4* I dont know if the people who made this game ever actually played minesweeper, but i highly doubt it. Even ignoring the deluge of ads (which is very hard to do), the main issue i had was the fact that they dont seem to know how indicators work. You know when you click a box and it gives you a number? Thats supposed to represent how many bombs are in the eight blocks immediately around the box you just clicked. I played five games (and watched ten ads it felt like), and every single time id find a bunch of ones around a block i'd flag it and move on. When i inevitably died, lo and behold, those ones were surrounding an empty box. Like what the actual heck is the point if having indicators if they dont work? Id be just as well off smashing random boxes and praying ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-07-27, version 3.2.1* The app forces you into ads. If you exit and come back it forces you into it ### 1/5 — What a shame *2026-06-09, version 3.2.1* Love the modern version of this game but the ads have completely ruined the game. Select a mode - AD. Game starts - AD. Hit a bomb - AD Go to settings - AD Literally unplayable when not on airplane mode. ### 1/5 — constant ads *2025-08-07, version 3.2.1* this app is plagued with ads and asks an exorbitant amount to remove the ads from this mediocre app. there are better alternatives out there ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone 13 *2025-06-04, version 3.2.1* I like the app, but it’s impossible to play the harder tile sizes on my phone because the ad across the top blocks the top row and no amount of zooming in or out makes it work. ### 1/5 — Latest review has no improvements. Just ads *2025-05-16, version 3.2.1* The added unstoppable ads after every round. A good app turned awful immediately ### 1/5 — Ads are constant *2024-04-28, version 3.2.0* Can’t get away from ads, awful app ### 1/5 — Nothing but advertisements *2024-01-30, version 3.2.0* It keeps taking you to one add after another. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Ad banner *2023-10-25, version 3.2.0* Used to be great, but now there's a non removablead on the top of the board prohibiting me from finishing games!!! ### 1/5 — The ads!!! *2023-10-13, version 3.2.0* This WAS the best designed minesweeper game that I’ve ever played. Played it all the time UNTIL THE BANNER ADS WERE ADDED! How can you expect the game to be playable when a banner ad prevents you from reaching the top 3 rows of the board? I was always okay with ads in between games but this is completely unacceptable and I have been forced to find a different app to play this game. ### 1/5 — Deleting because of insufferable ads *2023-06-23, version 3.1.7* Adios! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I finally won *2026-08-20, version 3.2.1* Heheheheheheheheahahahaahahhaahahh ### 5/5 — Woo *2025-10-27, version 3.2.1* Yes ### 5/5 — best version of Minesweeper on the app *2022-04-08, version 2.4* get this one if you want minesweeper ### 5/5 — Best Minesweeper GUI on iOS *2021-02-03, version 2.4* For some reason all Minesweeper Apps on the App Store look like Windows 3.1. It’s a dated look even Microsoft abandoned after Windows XP. It looks out of place and boring on an iPhone. Minesweeper Go has a fresh look, is easy to use, and the ads are frequent, but brief and bearable. To date, it is one of the best versions of Minesweeper for iPhone. ### 5/5 — Easy way to get rid of ads *2020-08-04, version 2.4* Don’t pay to remove ads. Whenever one pops up just tap the top right corner of the screen and it goes away. ### 5/5 — great choices! *2019-10-18, version 2.4* theres a lot of ways to play this game! theres 4 game themes and 6 gamemodes + custom! this game is a great modern minesweeper. ### 5/5 — Can’t say this enough *2018-09-26, version 2.4* I’ve been searching for an intuitive yet aesthetic minesweepers app since 2011 and here it is. The answer to my prayers. When people joke “Maybe your future partner hasn’t been born yet,” this is what I imagine it’s like. All the past 23 apps I’ve tried were somewhat lacking in one of the two but this app is the best of both of worlds. Would recommend to anyone ready to satisfy their minesweeper addiction. ### 5/5 — Good *2018-05-22, version 2.3.2* Insane level is fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-05-01, version 2.3.2* Very addicting! ### 5/5 — Please stop telling me to rate *2018-01-10, version 2.3.2* Ecks dee Good game, a classic "reborn" not really, but whatever. It's minesweeper. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
