Now deleted. There are enough minesweepers out there. Second star because it “was”. ### 2/5 — So many ads *2022-12-29, version 1.5.4* Great game, just way too many ads. I had to close the App Store pop up four times in one ad. Very frequently you can get into a position where you have to guess and there is no definitive answer which is a mine. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2022-10-20, version 1.5.4* I love this app and play it all the time! It’s the best Minesweeper app out there. The one thing I wish they would fix is that whenever I open the app with music playing, it pauses the music. If they fix that, I’d be more than happy to give it 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Graphics make this one feel older *2021-07-24, version 1.5.2* The gameplay is good, but the graphics feel old. ### 1/5 — Was good until updated *2021-06-14, version 1.5.0* Update requires you to pinch zoom in and now there is a llllllllllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg commercial you have to sit through every 5th game. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Please change *2021-06-14, version 1.5.0* Ever since the new update, you can’t zoom in as much as you used to be able to on all the harder levels, especially the larger custom levels. The boxes become too much harder to press being so small, please change it back. ### 1/5 — Beware the latest update! *2021-06-11, version 1.5.0* I loved this version of Minesweeper for so long because the ads were just at the bottom of the screen not bothering anyone. With this latest update, after starting two games you get an ad out of nowhere! And if you’re like me, you’re starting new games every few seconds. AWFUL addition. I know y’all need money to keep it going but this was a terrible choice. ### 2/5 — New update *2021-06-06, version 1.5.0* Since the new update it’s not easy to play. You can’t seem to zoom in close enough. The squares are now 2 tiny. ### 1/5 — Full of ads. *2021-03-23, version 1.3.11* 0 stars - riddled with ads. ### 2/5 — Flawed *2020-11-01, version 1.3.11* I like this app for the most part but every now and again it says I’m wrong when if u read it I am not. Literally the game doesn’t know how to play the game. For example it wil hav a two so I find two and then when I click on a tile that should be nothing next to it it will be another bomb. Nice work developers ### 1/5 — Doesn’t fit the window *2020-07-04, version 1.3.11* I installed this app on my iPad and almost immediately deleted it. The entire mine field (99) squares doesn’t show at any one time! You have to scroll to see the squares along the edges. ### 4/5 — Can you add the option to undo a click after you lose? *2019-11-03, version 1.3.11* I’ve lose so many times because my finger slightly missed the button to select flags and then accidentally selected the spot that I knew was a mine and lost. I think it would be amazing if you added the option to go back after you fail because it feels so crushing to be doing really well on a hard and huge board and then losing to a spot you knew was a mine ### 4/5 — Inappropriate advertisement *2019-07-18, version 1.3.9* I really enjoy this game and it works well in the app. I’m rating it 4 stars because there is an advertisement that pops up showing a woman with a magnifying glass over her which shows her without clothing. I’d rather not have to see that stuff. ### 3/5 — App quits *2019-07-12, version 1.3.9* Generally a fairly good version but it sometimes terminates for no reason - the app just quits in the middle of a game for no apparent reason. It's maddening especially if it's at the end of an otherwise winning game. Also "statistics" are simple and uninformative. ### 4/5 — Basically a very fun game *2019-07-12, version 1.3.9* I have just a couple of issues with occasional screen crashes/freezes. Also it’s annoying when on some games, the last mine placement comes down to luck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad update? *2025-06-02, version 1.5.6* I’ve been playing Minesweeper for years, for the last few on my iPhone 12 Mini. Updated yesterday and I’ve lost three games in a row, and when the mines are revealed it shows that I’ve made the correct choice but it marks it as an error. Hope you can fix this, I play this a lot. iOS 17.6.1 (I’ll re-rate this back to 5-star once it’s working again) ### 1/5 — Terrible ads *2022-10-08, version 1.5.4* This used to be a great free minesweeper app, but now the ads are incredibly intrusive and ruin the experience, so I’ll be deleting it. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Obnoxious ads, can’t play in bed anymore *2022-10-03, version 1.5.4* I understand pop up ads for free apps. What I don’t understand is the blaring sound that you cannot avoid from a pop up ad. I stopped playing since this started. If I play this at night in bed, my partner, who is asleep m next to me, jumps up awake. I keep the ringer off to avoid other apps music but the ads in this go right through. ### 1/5 — Too Intrusive *2021-10-08, version 1.5.2* Can’t play a game without getting an advert wanting my age. This is in violation of Apple’s privacy statement. The developer should release an update to get rid of the intrusive advert request. I wish I could give a no star rating. That’s what this app deserves. The developer needs to get rid of unityads. Otherwise they are crap. ### 1/5 — New update no good! *2021-08-06, version 1.5.2* Just updated, and the size of the medium game in my iPad display has shrunk, compared to before the update! It was good for speedy play but now with the smaller display and little squares it’s much less enjoyable. The ads are MUCH more frequent and insistent as well, after my first 10 minutes of playing. I’m gonna have to try some other Minesweeper games... ### 1/5 — Ruined *2021-07-07, version 1.5.2* Pathetic update. Had this for years but now deleted. A game that relies on being able to restart new games quickly after hitting a mine now unplayable with the insanely annoying introduction of constant crappy-game advertising. Don’t bother. Searching for playable alternative. ### 1/5 — Zoom and Ads *2021-06-26, version 1.5.1* I used to love this game. The ads are unobtrusive at the bottom. With the update, you now get ads after every two games. If you're like me, you go through games quickly and see so many as now. Also, in the hard level, at the start of every game, it zooms out. I hate it! I wish it would just stay zoomed in like it used to. This update is horrible and I wish they would go back to the original version. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2021-06-23, version 1.5.1* I play on a large custom map and you can no longer zoom in close enough. It’s very difficult to tap the correct squares and it’s made the game unplayable for me. I hope they fix this! ### 1/5 — Uuuhhhhhhhh the ads. *2021-06-22, version 1.5.1* I used to play this so much and my high scores are bomb. But the ads after every single loss is intolerable. Help! Please fix this. I will pay for an ad-less version. ### 1/5 — Latest update *2021-06-15, version 1.5.0* They’ve updated the app and now you can’t zoom in far enough to accurately choose the square you want, making it unusable :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mines *2023-12-08, version 1.5.5* Challenging and doable puzzle! It keeps my mind active and alert. It also is relaxing to do in the evening. I have been enjoying this for a few years. ### 5/5 — Challenging *2020-01-23, version 1.3.11* I used to play a lot and rarely got blown up. Being away a long time, I am finding It more challenging. I enjoy more than most internet game. I enjoy the challenge of seeing how many game I can win without getting blown up. Fun and challenging! Mostly get blown up when bombs are stacked! ### 5/5 — Minesweeper *2019-10-20, version 1.3.11* Very good. ### 5/5 — Classic *2019-10-14, version 1.3.11* Always enjoyed this game and this app doesn’t disappoint. ### 5/5 — I LOVE this app *2019-09-29, version 1.3.11* We were about to get rid of an old computer we had stuck in a cupboard and turned it on to see what was on it before wiping it. I came across minesweeper and pinball. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. I was so happy to find this app so that I didn’t have to give Minesweeper up. This is just like the original. Well done to the creators. ### 5/5 — A new way to play *2019-07-04, version 1.3.9* My best time on this better than on the PC, and it has improved my game, because you have to think of strategies to avoid toggling between mark and clear. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great Adaptation! *2018-12-27, version 1.3.9* I have enjoyed this game since the nineties. YES! I would like the iPad/iPhone versions better with the left and right click controls. But that is just very basic mechanics. The game play is still the same. It provides a good workout for my brain and keeps me entertained. I am a real fan. ### 5/5 — The Best Version *2018-12-19, version 1.3.9* I’ve tried them all and this is the one that brings the good old game back. Once you get used to how to click or flag you can play like crazy. The hard level with 99 mines is very difficult. When I win at that level it’s a real thrill. Pay to get rid of the ads if you must, and you’ll have a new addiction. ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-10-13, version 1.3.9* Great game AND bug free for the past 4-5 years since I’ve played it ### 5/5 — Mindsweeper *2018-06-23, version 1.3.6* VERY addicting and TOTALLY awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
