## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2018-04-11, version 3.0.0*

The controls are not sensitive enough. Double tap doesn't function reliably.

### 1/5 — Not a fan

*2014-02-17, version 2.0*

I like the head-to-head function but what throws me back is the single tap for flag placement and double tap to clear the block. Anyone who's used to playing classic minesweeper will get thrown off. They should have programmed it as the original or if they truly felt this was a better setting, then they should have the option to switch.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-02-23, version 1.0*

Downloaded the game. Played beginner single game. I was placing flags in every single box??? Tried expert: same thing!!!

### 4/5 — Minesweeper

*2012-07-29, version 2.0*

Excellent game! Love it! Keep it up!

### 4/5 — Great way to pass the time!

*2012-04-26, version 2.0*

Just like the original but with some modernization.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2012-02-29, version 2.0*

Sometimes hard to double tap when your going fast

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-06-29, version 2.0*

Exactly what I expect just like the original.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-06-24, version 2.0*

If you like minesweeper you'll love this game. And free!!

### 5/5 — Nice game, very attractive!

*2012-03-27, version 2.0*

I absolutely love the UI and game play of this app! The menu is a little tricky, but everything else is fantastic. Also, have to mention that the "double tap" feature has thrilled me, really. Nice job guys, looking forward to see an iPad version. And you should think of adding robots to the game center, as it's currently not easy to find an opponent to play a deathmatch.

### 5/5 — Minesweeper

*2012-01-26, version 1.0*

Good game for free! Thanks

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2012-01-24, version 1.0*

This game reminds me a time when I was playing minesweeper on my first PC with Windows 95. It is easy to play and the game itself is very addictive. 
Looking forward for new versions.
