ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb has 66K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's written reviews are positive against 44% of Minesweeper 2017 !'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb ships an update every 3 months, Minesweeper 2017 ! every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
