ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scene It? holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper! has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Minesweeper!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Scene It?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Minesweeper! ships an update every 4 months, Scene It? every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
