### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-28*

Simply the best puzzle game in the world. Fantastic app version with authentic interface. I’ve had this for over a decade and still play regularly.

### 1/5 — Needs Updating!

*2026-01-27*

I have enjoyed this app for many years, but the new iOS updates limit the game to just a blank screen.  I have been asking for help since August 2025.  There is no solid update or active assistance with this.  Spica doesn’t care anymore!

### 1/5 — びみょー

*2025-12-20*

微妙です、マスの見た目とか得られるけどなんか見にくい。
あと印が旗だけなのもちょっと、ハテナとかそこら辺も欲しい。
あと、9×9と16×16、16×30の3種類しかマス数がない。
もっと増やして欲しいこれなら無料のやつの方がいい。お金で買う価値ないって感じする。

### 2/5 — 6-25-25 not working

*2025-06-25, version 1.46*

Currently the advanced level not working since update. The bug fixes created a bug that doesn’t allow you to play. It’s been over a week. Not sure if they are even going to try and fix that this point.

### 5/5 — My favorite app

*2024-12-07*

I love this app so much. Well worth the investment to go premium. I have over 5000 games played on advanced itself. No wifi needed so it’s a great game no matter where you are.

### 5/5 — 広告なしでストレスフリー

*2024-11-03*

広告なしのマインスイーパー探してたので嬉しいです！
マスの個数や爆弾の数カスタマイズできるのも良いです。
たくさん遊びます！

### 5/5 — great

*2023-10-24*

One of the perfect game

### 5/5 — Works

*2023-03-24*

It’s minesweeper it works 👍

### 5/5 — Great App With Great Privacy!

*2022-06-18*

The game is exactly what was advertised, which is all I needed. The controls are intuitive and work well consistently. I also appreciate the options for customization, both for the visuals and the settings. 

The thing that made me pick this app over all the others though was the company’s privacy policy. This was the only Minesweeper app I saw that doesn’t sell your personal data, and that’s a rare thing these days! So to Spica, thank you for creating a great app while also having a great privacy policy. I’ll be sure to look out for future apps!

### 5/5 — Advanced game not working

*2022-02-26*

I can play up to intermediate but does not show the board above intermediate. If I tap the blank area it responds but cannot be seen. 

Updated my rating because the developers worked with me to solve this issue. If anyone has this issue, you need to set your iPhone’s display from zoomed to standard
