It is super fun! ### 3/5 — A potentially good app but with many drawbacks *2018-06-08, version 1.46* It could be an enjoyable app but a couple of things are not too clever. First, opening the game. Another version of this game I once had on my computer in the early 1990's (before the days of apps) would always open with a few squares exposed, so that you could always reason a way to the solution. This app often opens showing one square, and opening another (purely by guesswork, obviously) often hits a mine. Also, one can sometimes clear all but two squares and be left with two squares, one of which is clear and one a mine, and no way of determining by reason which is which. So the game ends with a 50-50 guess. That is not how the game should work and it's most annoying. Almost every time I open the app I am greeted with an advert for some silly children's game (for kidults) called Final Fantasy XV. It is necessary to wait before the (absolutely tiny) cross appears to enable one to move to the game. Clearly the system isn't designed to realise that I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THIS STUPID BLOODY GAME! ### 2/5 — Full of Adds *2017-12-09, version 1.46* Keeps going to adds or App screen whilst making moves. Dammed annoying. Very unstable!!!! ### 4/5 — Un bon classique *2017-01-25* Un bon classique ### 4/5 — Fast sehr gut *2016-10-16* Schöne Entspannung ### 5/5 — works good *2016-03-30, version 1.41* good app ### 5/5 — Always liked playing this game. *2016-02-29, version 1.41* Fun little game!! ### 4/5 — Excellent *2016-02-28, version 1.41* C'est parfait pour un petit moment de détenre pas compliqué. ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-02-03, version 1.41* Very relaxing, works very well ### 5/5 — It's minesweeper *2016-01-19, version 1.41* Good game to kill time, I wish on the harder difficulties you could play from the zoomed out position but all and all well done. ### 5/5 — minesweeper as we know and love it *2016-01-18, version 1.41* this is the classic game, with an interface which makes it fit well in the phone. zooming works well to see the whole map and having modes for flagging or revealing works well. tapping on numbers when you've found all the adjacent mines is a great feature. ### 5/5 — Minesweeper Unstable update *2015-12-09, version 1.41* It keeps shutting down when you go back to an interrupted game, so that you never get to finish a game in progress. However, with this latest update, it is now working perfectly. ### 5/5 — Does the job! *2015-12-08, version 1.41* I am very happy with this game. ### 2/5 — Crashes & Bad user interface *2015-12-06, version 1.40* Regularly crashes when going to a new game, forcing you to view an ad when you restart the app. Good for maximizing ad views. Not good for users. An already bad user interface turned awful with the addition of popup ads in the middle of a game. If you are racing against the clock, forget it. (Haven't seen this happen lately) Press and hold to place a flag is too slow to use on a regular basis. Flag mode helps that; but it is awkward to switch between modes, and you can't clear a single square while in flag mode. If you accidentally place a flag, erasing it is a pain, as you have to click twice to pass through the useless question mark. As you pan across the board, it would be nice to have a clear indication that you've reached the edge, such as a bright border. And then there are no statistics such as top scores or averages. No comparisons with other players. Even the help section has a bad user interface. Standard gestures don't work to flip pages. There is no way to go back one page. And what the help shows for a cleared square that is empty (white) is not what you actually see in a game (blue). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Copies your clipboard *2021-03-06, version 1.50* Probably shouldn't trust it. ### 1/5 — porn?!? *2018-09-14, version 1.50* I thought there was something wrong with my phone - I’d been playing casually for years - when all of a sudden porn ads popped up in the middle of a game. That’s just awful, I have kids who play on my phone, so I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Porn ads *2018-02-27, version 1.46* Ads showing people having sex keep popping up. Choose another app! ### 1/5 — Ads gone wrong *2017-01-22, version 1.46* Used to be a simple app. Ads at the bottom of the screen. It did one thing -- Minesweeper. Now it's unusable. In the middle of a game, I'm suddenly kicked to the App Store to view an app like "letitgo". No warning, no full-screen ad that I accidentally clicked on -- just tossed into the App Store. Makes the app unusable. Never know when I'm going to be dumped out of a game. ### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down!!! *2015-12-06, version 1.40* It use to be good, but now you cannot play 2 games in a row without it shutting down and forgetting what you were playing. It's no good on the 6S 😞😟😟 ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2015-12-06, version 1.40* The app crashes if you tap New Game on Medium and Hard settings. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing after you select new game *2015-12-05, version 1.40* The title says it all. ### 1/5 — App keeps closing *2015-12-04, version 1.40* When I lose in the hard mode, and I hit the button for a new game, the whole app closes. Then I have to reopen and start a new game that way. Not a huge deal, but still hella annoying. It only does it for the hard level. ### 1/5 — Ouch *2015-10-16, version 1.35* This minesweeper game is terrible ### 1/5 — New Icon *2013-11-08, version 1.35* Plain and simple, it needs changed, showing that 8 is promoting idiocity in logic. If something shows an 8 then all 8 spots surrounding it needs to be a bomb, but I see a 1 and 2. This is like the Apple Maps Icon telling you to get off an overpass, you've heard of this right? Fix this problem you've created in your Icon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game but. . . . *2024-08-21, version 1.50* Played the game for years. However it needs an ‘Undo last move’ button. 😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — Extremely inspirational *2019-11-29, version 1.50* Extremely inspirational ### 5/5 — I would pay five bucks for this game *2019-08-07, version 1.50* It’s doesn’t ask for ads It’s free and it’s amazing it’s perfect ### 5/5 — Old school! *2019-07-05, version 1.50* Very nostalgic game being an 80’s child! If there’s a 10 star rating I would give it a 10 Star! ### 5/5 — Minesweeper *2018-09-25, version 1.50* Fun game makes me plan. ### 5/5 — Play every day! *2018-07-15, version 1.50* Fast, easy, and fun to play.

Enjoy it a lot. ### 5/5 — Fun free few ads *2016-08-17, version 1.41* Classic windows game.
