They’re a distraction & the numbers are difficult to see. Mostly thought it’s weird to spend hundreds of hours on a puzzle to have it end so abruptly and unceremoniously. I hate that. ### 4/5 — Misflagged tiles *2026-05-20, version 3.0.5* Your modification to allow users to find falsely flagged tiles makes this game playable again, but there should be a better way ### 4/5 — Fun *2025-10-21, version 3.0.4* I like that you get multiple shots. The board is so much bigger it would be awful to lose it all with one bad click. ### 4/5 — One Shy *2025-10-10, version 3.0.4* 1 Undo ### 2/5 — Love it, however *2025-08-09* Love the traditional game - and the larger font. But there’s no way to turn off the loud bombs blowing up or the celebration music when you win. I don’t want to have to turn down the volume on my phone every time I play. Most games have settings to turn off the noise. Sorry - deleted the app. ### 4/5 — Good i guess *2025-05-22, version 3.0.4* fun activities I guess ### 3/5 — Bought, but now don’t get free coins *2025-04-11* I have played this game for over a year, but 3 days after I purchased for no ads, the free coin feature disappeared. What happened? Restart computer, look for updates, that doesn’t seem to be it. Can this be fixed? ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2025-03-24, version 3.0.2* Really helps with the thought process. ### 5/5 — Amazing update. Please make Apple Pencil better *2025-02-27* I love all the new changes! Especially the button to search unexplored! I have played the game for years and I love it! Thanks to the creators for an amazing game and for being responsive to feedback! They have taken all my suggestions! My only feedback is, can you please make the Apple Pencil work with this app? ### 4/5 — 2nd Impression *2025-02-22, version 3.0.2* Fewer exploded mines….getting better. Missed the HD images but it was easier puzzle with consistent background. ### 5/5 — The Best Minesweeper Game! *2025-02-09* I love minesweeper and this is the best ios app i’ve come across! my one suggestion though would be to allow for colour editing of the board as i play this before bed and even at the lowest brightness the board can be a bit taxing on the eyes. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-01-20, version 3.0.2* Game is fun 👍 ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-01-17* Great! Love it! **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 3/5 — Update changes :/ *2025-01-07* Really thrown by the update. Can’t figure out how to remove the photo embedded on the board - I would much rather the classic color scheme than this photo. Also lost the yellow warning when a flag is incorrectly placed. Any way to change these both back to how it used to be? Have been playing this for years and I’m really regretting updating the app. ### 5/5 — 32000? *2024-12-18, version 3.0.1* Took forever! 🤣 ### 5/5 — Beaucoup de plaisir. *2024-12-15, version 3.0.1* Minesweeper is a Mind Sweeper. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-11-16* Needs logic and patience ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you are seasoned *2025-03-06* It asks if you know how to play and need a tutorial right when you open. I click no. It proceeds to put me through an excruciatingly long tutorial that I didn’t finish. I just downloaded an app that didn’t force me to go through an insanely long tutorial. You might download it just to see what I’m talking about how absolutely ridiculous of a design choice it was. Download any other version it will be less waste of time ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-01-12, version 3.0.1* I pressed no tutorial, but it still forced me into one. Then I tried to start a game but it got stuck on “tutorial”. Even when I finished the tutorial it never let me start again. I tried shutting the app and opening it again but it didn’t work. I’d highly not recommend ### 1/5 — This sums up everything that’s wrong with mobile gaming *2024-02-25, version 2.7* The game is fun which is why it’s a staple on computers just like solitaire but in no way does that justify the monetization for what’s regularly a free game. I’m definitely erasing and not going back after it wanted to charge me for undos. Get outa here. ### 1/5 — . *2023-08-31, version 2.7* 广告模拟器 ### 1/5 — Good game *2023-05-29, version 2.6* Yes ### 1/5 — problem *2022-01-04* using the flag, the system doesn’t recognise my choose; ### 1/5 — Downloaded update now app wont open *2020-04-24* I played this game on my computer years ago. It took a few tries on the app for me to get my groove back. But it was like riding a bike. 🚲 💵 I don’t buy apps or do in app purchases so I found the game frustrating. New ‘lives’ are added after 25 minutes. This is something I don’t remember from playing on the computer and is a little excessive. More frustrating 😠 is when I opened the app to play it asked if I wanted to update so I did. Now the app won’t open. It was kinda fun while it lasted but time to delete I guess. 😕 ### 1/5 — Unplayable due to Ads *2020-03-06* Really good game, but too many bloody adverts.. just another one of those games you download and delete after a few days because of ads ### 1/5 — Stupid game *2019-04-25* I had been playing a game for more than 8 hours and it just despaired when I was playing ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time...... *2018-04-27* So I have loved this game from way back to my first computer. I have been playing the app version of the game for some time now from another developer. When I saw that this was an extra large version of it I was geeked. I downloaded it and started playing immediately. The first game as flawless. I continued to play it many times over a 24 hour period and from the second game on it became ultra glitchy. It would set off bombs when I wasn’t even touching the screen. I play the game in fast/flag mode and I would mark a bomb and it would remove it immediately. I would mark it again and it would remove the flag and set it off. I sent the developer a message and never got a response or even acknowledged for my submission. If these things were fixed than this would be the most amazing game and would deserve 5 stars. Until they fix it I will give it a one. **Developer response:** In fast mode, long press will clear tile/set off bomb, short press will mark/unmark a tile. There is a 'Long press duration' parameter in settings dialog. You can change its value for better experience. We apologize for not replying your feedback in time. We do research every feedback and make efforts to solve them in new version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly perfect *2026-07-08* I’ve been playing this game for a few days off and on completing my first game and it took my a total of 3.5 hours to finish it but it definitely is very satisfying and fun especially if you know how to play ### 5/5 — Please make Apple Pencil better *2026-06-14* My only feedback is, can you please make the Apple Pencil work with this app? Please add a setting that fixes the sensitivity of the Apple Pencil panning the screen instead of clearing tiles or quick flagging. I love all the new changes! Especially the button to search unexplored! I have played the game for years and I love it! Thanks to the creators for an amazing game and for being responsive to feedback! ### 5/5 — Love the undo *2026-06-07, version 3.0.5* It's nice to be able to correct those accidental taps and finish the game. ### 5/5 — Beaucoup de plaisir. *2026-05-14* Minesweeper is a Mind Sweeper. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-04-18, version 3.0.5* Fun for the lucky few who understand this game ### 5/5 — Love the size and originality *2026-02-22* Solid game here, takes minesweeper as a concept, and just asks” what if it was open world?” I cheat in your game. Let me rephrase it; I’ve paid 4 dollars simply to become unbothered by something small like ads for the content is addicting I’ve played on and off this version for years and all I can remark is thank you ### 5/5 — Too Many Flags *2026-01-25, version 3.0.4* Your modification to allow users to find falsely flagged tiles makes this game playable again. Thanks ### 5/5 — Very fun *2025-07-01, version 3.0.4* This was a lot of fun ### 5/5 — Review *2025-06-21, version 3.0.4* Love this brainy game…only complaint is having to purchase coins for more play time. Bummer! ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-04-16, version 3.0.3* Awesome game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
