ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iMinesweeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Queen Rules has 133 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iMinesweeper's written reviews are positive against 92% of Queen Rules's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iMinesweeper ships an update every 21 months, Queen Rules every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 9, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
