ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Minesweeper Classic 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper Classic 2 has 7.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Minesweeper Classic 2's written reviews are positive against 75% of Minesweeper Redesigned's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Minesweeper Classic 2 ships an update every 2 months, Minesweeper Redesigned every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
