### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-06, version 1.1.3*

Minesweeper is always a classic

### 5/5 — 👍

*2023-11-05, version 1.1.3*

Fun app that respects your privacy unlike every other minesweeper on the App Store

### 1/5 — Paid for $2.99 ad removal, and ads are back

*2022-11-18, version 1.1.3*

First of all, I don’t want this to be a negative thing, because I love this game. 
BUT…Just like the title says, I ended up paying the $2.99 price tag to remove those annoying ads and, wouldn’t you know it, that made the gameplay so much more fun. 

Like every game, I stopped playing it for awhile, maybe a couple months or so. When I came back to it, as I’m playing, gee golly, an ad started on top of the screen. Then, after I won a game, an ad started playing. And I thought, I know I paid $2.99, what is going on here. So I looked to see if there was a restore your purchases. All I can find is the same, 
Spot that says…
Unlock and remove adds for $2.99
Well, I did that already. 

Not only am I playing this game, the game seems to be playing its own game with me. Not cool!! 

Am I out the $2.99 or can you fix this? I’m hoping you can fix this. Please let me know.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Dubs

*2022-06-10, version 1.1.3*

Easy to cheat heheh

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-06-07, version 1.1.3*

Game

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2020-06-06, version 1.1.3*

Two major issues. The first is that a flag frequently gets marked when I'm just trying to move the screen around. The second is that the intermediate level only comes in a rectangle. I just want a larger square.

### 3/5 — Decent but...

*2020-05-10, version 1.1.3*

Great with very few adds but marking bombs is frustrating

### 5/5 — Back to Childhood

*2020-03-28, version 1.1.3*

Love this app, it’s an excellent rendition of a game that brings me back to a simpler time when Minesweeper was one of the only games on my computer.
I enjoy simpler puzzle games like this and the app runs smoothly and is easy to adjust in settings.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-03-20, version 1.1.3*

Can’t beat the classics! Sometimes you just need a nice simple game. Thanks for working to keep this going

### 5/5 — As it should be!

*2020-03-17, version 1.1.3*

Love this app... brings back memories!!

Would love to see a landscape mode without a scrolling board (if it works).
