### 1/5 — Just opens and closes right away

*2025-03-13, version 4.0.1*

It use to work but now it just opens and closes right away. Apparently a bug was added to the game in the last month or two.
If there was a zero star it would be the most appropriate.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-02-07, version 4.0.1*

Version 4.0.1 crashes every time it is opened.

### 1/5 — Fyi

*2023-10-14, version 3.4.0*

Great game but now has too many ads

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2018-10-22, version 3.2.2*

I was willing to put up with the ads because it was a reasonably decent version of the game, despite some glaring bugs. But the ads have become too obnoxious. Time to find a better app.

### 1/5 — Speaker not following sound preferences

*2018-09-14, version 3.2.2*

The new ad model makes this game not desirable as you can not set speaker volume for ads

### 1/5 — Harassment for ad free purchase.

*2018-06-03, version 3.2.2*

This used to be a great game.  Just recently they changed it so that you have to say no to buying ad free game after practically every game.  The ads never bothered me, but this forcing of asking to pay for ad free after about every game is really annoying.  I can’t find any where to turn it off.  I am sure there are other mine sweeper copycats that don’t do this.  I’ve had this game and enjoyed it for several years, but now it is so annoying that I am starting to look for other games to replace these beggars for money.  If they are that hard up for money, they will probably be dropping off the app site anyway, so it is probably prudent to start looking for a developer that is not on the verge of bankruptcy or going out of business.  This is the only conclusion or opinion that I can draw from this change in behavior.  In addition to this they also turned on a function that asks if you want to pay for hints after practically every game too.  What other conclusion can you come to?  Maybe they bought a 300 foot yacht and need to pay for it.  Us minimum wage people don’t have much sympathy for that either.  Annoying to the point of harassment.

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2018-04-25, version 3.2.1*

Bugs when we put a mistake flag ! We can’t remove the false flag !!

... according to Sweepy Mines: Tap and hold the false flag.... it works !!!! But why this happens sometimes should be fixed 😉

### 5/5 — Great Minesweeper clone

*2017-11-08, version 3.1.6*

Looks and plays so much better than the original.

Paying up to get rid of the ads is highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Fun and fresh

*2017-08-19, version 3.1.6*

The classic minesweeper game with a much more interesting look to it.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2017-07-16, version 3.1.6*

This was a fun minesweeper game
