Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb for Negative User Reviews
✓ Get rid of adsThe video ads pop up at random often. And when they do, it is one after another by another - repeat. The game relies on the pressure of the touch, so a sudden pop up of a video kills the game. Get rid of those video pop ups if you want the game to continue..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Avoid at all costsThis game is designed to get you to buy their subscription and that’s it. If you’re looking for a minesweeper game on iPhone just move on.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Increasing adds and bugs taken it from 5 star.Updates have added a lot more adds to the point it makes me stop and play a different app. Also introduced a bug that causes the game to freeze when first opened. Must quit and close the game to continue the game. Other than that it is a enjoyable version of the old windows minesweeper game that can be quite challenging on higher levels..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Good game play. Very true to originalI enjoyed playing Minesweeper on Windows 3 years ago. I found this to be the best app of its type. Some ads can be a little long. A 25 second ad after a 3 second game is over the top. I would say that this game has the potential to spend more time viewing ads than actually playing the game. I just opened the app after a time away from it. Now it starts with a pop up asking me to confirm my date of birth before I can play it. That’s very intrusive. I get that this game owes its existence to the developer who wants to sell ads, but it’s just a game! I don’t play too many other games on my iPad, but none of them care how old I am..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Annoying adsUsed to love playing this app but now their ads are far too frequent and far too long, which means I’m watching an ad half the time I’m in the app..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Pornographic advertisingYour game just showed a pornographic ad (a woman masturbating). This is a game my children play. How can I be sure they haven’t been exposed to this ad? I will check all the settings on my phone but this is the first time any of the apps I have installed has done this. Minesweeper is such an innocuous game and the ad was completely inappropriate..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Obnoxious first impression.After losing a game you are immediately bombarded with ads and prompts to leave a review. After writing this, the prompts lessened, but I find that I think the 90’s PC version was still superior if only because you could see your failure there, whereas here it immediately cuts to a different screen, which is kind of jarring and doesn’t allow me to reflect on my mistake. When also paired with non-stop prompts to leave a review after EVERY GAME, it’s also really obnoxious. It’s just kind of dumb to expect a review after I’ve played the game less than a minute. I guess they want my first impression… well, it’s negative..Version: 3.15.13
✓ The ads are annoyingWhile I understand the purpose of ads, these are horrible. They show between each game. The ads are all video demos of other games, with sounds, and you can’t skip over them. After playing the game for about 30 mins, the app became buggy and it kept freezing. I’d tap the screen and nothing would happen. Then tap again and again. Then it would catch up on all my taps and sometimes it’d be on a bomb! Grrrr. Then I have start over after watching another ad. Overall this is a great rendition of the original, but so the ads have to consume so much of the experience?.Version: 3.15.12
✓ Not accurateIn most games the numbers say that it’s touching 2 when it’s touching 3 there has been games I have lost because it’s not accurate :(..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Gd game, bad controlsThe game is fun and addictive but also constantly frustrating due to the controls being somewhat temperamental unless your fingers are the size of a pin.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Ads are ridiculousWhy so many ads? I’d be happy to pay to have them removed, and if such an option exists, it’s too hard for me to find..Version: 3.8.6
✓ BAD UPDATETakes too long to restart! makes me not want to play.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Got trapped into purchasingThis is a good port of the game; no complaints on that end. But I must detract stars because I feel that I was manipulated. When an ad popping up cost me a game (by effecting the space that the game takes up and shifting it over), I tried pushing the “X” thinking it would send the ad away. Instead, an option to pay for an ad free version popped up and I was trapped in a loop of trying to exit from the payment prompt and being sent right back to it. Stupidly, I put my thumb to the home screen button to try to quit the game, but of course that just resulted in the payment going through. Its a pain to try to get a refund for these things, and ultimately I’ve decided that it’s not worth the struggle, which I’m sure is exactly what the developers want. Don’t make the same mistake I did!.Version: 3.9.3
✓ Buggy StatsWhile I enjoy the gameplay (loved it in MS Windows OS) this app has a bug in the stats. I only play the Difficult mode. The wins/losses are recorded under ‘Difficult’, but the games played are recorded under ‘Medium’..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Used to be goodNot sure why they changed but now after playing a single game you are presented with only an option to purchase a Pro ($ pay) version with no option to play a free version. Have had this for years, just deleted it. Goodbye (not good buy).Version: 3.15.13
✓ Great game; too many ads.I would understand the occasional ad but this is a bit much..Version: 3.15.6
✓ RiggedThis app is rigged a lost a game where there was a tile that said “1” with 2 bombs touching it.Version: 3.16.0
✓ You have to play to see the adsThis is potential to be a great advert streaming app, but you have to occasionally play minesweeper to see the adds. You only get to spend about 90% of your time looking at demos of other apps and services. Luckily, you occasionally only have to hit one square before you can get back to the adds for a few minutes. Please remove the game so we can focus on the ads 100%..Version: 3.15.12
✓ TerribleAbsolutely shocking app full of all sorts of bugs and issues, an absolutely criminal amount of ads and generally just an annoying app to try and use. Do better!.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Was great until...Most recent update ruined the game for me. Now, every time I open it, it asks me to Sign In with Apple ID. And the ux is worse. I don’t like the zoom out when the game ends and the ads seem more intrusive now. Time for me to move on..Version: 3.12.0
✓ Why don’t diagonals count??!!I downloaded this game thinking it was gonna be fun, until I found out diagonals don’t count in this version of games. Not fun..Version: 3.15.14
✓ UnplayableDownloaded the game as I had played it a lot many years ago on my computer. Thought it would be fun - I was wrong. There are way too many adverts. The ads come after everything you do. They even put long adverts in the middle of games! After downloading it I tried playing it for an hour and gave up and deleted it. If you are nostalgic for the game - it’s not the game you remember..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Too many addsThere are waaay too many adds, I couldn’t get two games in without adds popping up which completely ruins the experience..Version: 3.15.12
✓ FreezesGame freezes a lot on start up and have to shut it down multiple times to get it to work. Even then uninstall and reinstall app is only way to fix. Other than that good game..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Fun classic game but..I’ve noticed twice now that there are hitches in the numbering. I.e, says 3 bombs but actually only two around it. Makes me feel like I can’t trust the numbers at this point. Other than that, plays as it should.Version: 3.16.0
✓ Game over screenI have been enjoying this game for a while however at high difficulties I have to guess mines in order to have a decent start that I can logically build on. In guessing process normally I'd fail many times which is disturbing itself. What makes it even worse is that each time I have to wait for the game over screen and animation which is around 4 seconds which is a very long time for a repeated guessing process. Hopefully some adjustment would be made regarding the start on higher difficulties or at least making the result screen optional so the player can choose either view score or instantly restart by the clicking the classic emoji face..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Unfair start and so many adsBomb shows up on a adjacent tile when the first click was a single tile. Literally impossible to play when you can hardly ever get past the second move. And so many ads after every game. Makes playing experience insufferable..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Bad update and now a bad appBad update. You can’t look at the minefield after you lost. What is the point of the next screen. Over complicating a very simple game for profit. No point. Ill just download a different version of the game. Your app isn’t special and people aren’t going to pay for it. Ads are fine but this is a little bit dumb..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Intrusive ads and crashesThe adverts that play after each game automatically pause your music and don’t play it again after. App also gets stuck on loading screen quite often. I like the game but this version of it seems like a rush job.Version: 3.15.2
✓ Starting taps are annoyingly limitedI know the challenge mode is predetermined patterns but I have just had 9 games in a row that only showed a single block for the first tap ended by me clicking a corner and it revealing a whole 4 blocks. And although it is random generation I don’t think it is fair to start with a 3 by 3 square let alone just a single block. I am using a custom size board but if the game isn’t able to process the whole board they shouldn’t have a board that big..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Frustrating controlsTouch doesn’t register correctly at edge of board on large boards so instead of trying to place a flag you uncover a mine instead. Seems like all the minesweeper games on AppStore are the same..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Too many adsWas super fun to play but now everytime you click anything an ad will start playing.Version: 3.15.12
✓ Why the ads???This game used to not have ads or at least very few, now there is one every few games. Also GET RID OF THE WIN/LOSE SCREEN! For a game that is reset very often having a long unskippable animation between each game gets VERY annoying. Used to be able to reset instantly. Win lose screen is easily the worst addition to this app..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Worse and worseAds galore. The interface is so bad that it takes eight or 10 seconds before you can start a new game when one of them ends. This may not sound like a lot, but if you are playing at a level where there are a lot of minds, it could take 10 or 15 tries before you can open an area to get started. Every time, you lose, a bunch of text slowly populates the screen, and then another screen appears before you can start a new game. It is a total waste of time. And now, in the most recent version, ads pop up and swipe across the screen in the middle of games that you have to delete. if you like to play at difficult levels, this version of mine sweeper is definitely not the one you want to get. Move on..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Delay makes game unplayableIt seems like there’s an effect when you mark a mine where the symbol drops onto the mine square in an animated way. This animation causes a delay that means you have to hold down for longer or the game interprets it as you just clicking on the square. I have accidentally eventually clicked a mine I was trying to mark every single time I played the game, so now I’m removing the app. In a timed game like minesweeper that people who used old computers are very accustomed to, adding a delay to the game play when the game otherwise looks identical to the original is just frustrating..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Love the actual game but…There are SO many adverts. More worryingly, it totally crashed my phone. Literally nothing worked- couldn’t close the app, change the sound, screen was unresponsive, wouldn’t lock. It was incredibly hard to turn the phone off. This is probably a bug but it makes the app seem properly dodgy so I immediately uninstalled after this on the off chance that there was something malicious afoot. Probably wasn’t but that’s enough to make me mistrust it..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Ads Ads AdsThe ads never stop!! 3 minimum between each game, each setting change. It’s ridiculous.Version: 3.15.12
✓ BugSo far I’ve played about 10 games. 3 of which the game was wrong. There were more mines around than the numbers suggested. Happy to send a screenshot.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Game is unplayableGame sucks, whenever I start a game and I tap a square it only revels one never a bunch, I have to continue tapping until I hit a free are but I usually hit a bomb before then. And by usually I mean 9 times out of 10. When I hit a bomb it goes to a loading screen that takes seemingly forever to get rid of as well as lots of adds. It is frustrating when I just wanna play minesweeper.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Can’t Play Music in the BackgroundCan you guys update it so we can listen to music (ie on spotify) in the background while playing the game? Ty.Version: 3.15.12
✓ It resets mid game if app is leftInterface and mine marking work fine, but the game doesn’t save if I switch to another app for a minute (like to answer a text or set an alarm). I lose all my progress and since I play expert the games take a while and have a lot of tedium. To be clear: I’m not exiting the app, just leaving it for a minute or two. Switching to a different game app for now. Let me know if you fix this..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Not savingThe game deletes progress if you change pages sometimes.. very frustrating when you are about to win.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Buggy, slow, unresponsive UI.This is the only half decent version on the App Store, so please improve it! Buttons don’t respond anything like fast enough, and means you hit a mine when you were trying to flag it instead. Super frustrating in a time based game. Reset button has same issues. Larger flag button would be great. Some ads are unskippable, buggy and force volume to be on for them. Stats section completely doesn’t work at all and needs an overhaul. This could be a great app, but please improve the responsiveness and UI elements. Playing on iPhone X..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Near Impossible to Play More than One Game in a RowThis game is infuriating. There are too many ads before and after every game. I got 3 ads in a row after losing a game. It brought me to this aggravatingly slow retry/start over screen. After tapping play again, I got another 2 ads in a row. In the game that I did get to play, I only got to tap on 4 squares before tapping on an ad. I play minesweeper a lot. My lowest time on hard is 64 seconds. It’s not uncommon to play 10+ games per minute before you get a good board. Even then, it’s more common than not to get multiple 50/50 chance squares in any given game. So to have up to 5 ads in between games, each taking roughly 15 seconds each, this game becomes unplayable. Add to this the fact that the monthly premium option is an outrageous $13/month. This is crazy. The game is slow and glitchy too. Even as I write this review, my keyboard keeps going away. The problem isn’t my phone either, I have an iPhone 14 pro. Don’t waste your money on this game. I’m going to uninstall it. It’s pretty bad..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Ads destroy gameThe design of this game has been around for many years which does not justify having to put up with long ads constantly. Considering there is nothing original meaning copy cat design, this is just greedy for no reason. Shame, would put up with a few ads but this is ridiculous..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Ads after ever game.I was playing this game fine for a full day. Initially I was resetting the game by going into the menu and clicking “play”. By doing this it would just reset my game. Eventually I realised I could just click the sad face up the top. Now every time I reset the game I have to watch 1 or 2 ads. Way to ruin the game, sometimes I don’t even get more then one square on the first go and lose resulting in me watching MORE ADS..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Good game; too many adsClassic Minesweeper game, no issues with the game itself. The ads are over the top though. Sometimes there are multiple ads in between games. I get that ads are a necessary part of free games, but this is a bit much..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Rigged!!I love this game, and a lot of the time I win. But after all my meticulous calculating to steer clear of mines, there are times where the game has glitched and set me up to fail. I have screenshot proof of games where a mine is where it shouldn’t be. It’s enough to make me delete the app permanently out of frustration! If the developers want proof I’m more than happy to send them my screenshot rigged games..Version: 3.8.6
✓ New version sucks!Now when you lose it brings up a game lost screen and you gotta click through. Old version was better. Keep it simple it’s minesweeper….Version: 3.15.13
✓ Pretty AnnoyingIf you’ve ever played the Google version of minesweeper you’ll likely be bored by this version. While this version is truer to the original game, the amount of times you will click to start off the game, reveal one square and hit a mine on your second click is far more likely than hitting a large patch to start deducing the mine placement from. A boring waste of time for the most part..Version: 3.16.0
✓ IF I COULD GIVE ZERO I WOULDThis app forced me to pay $20 to get rid of ads after I accidentally clicked on an ad and I was unable to exit the app without authorising payment with my Touch ID. I decided to let it go and just wear the $20, only to open the app a week later and see that the ads were still there, and it was trying to make me pay a SECOND TIME to get rid of ads. NOT HAPPY JAN.Version: 3.9.3
✓ Unacceptable AdsWhile playing this app, a voice advertisement started playing in the background advertising adult chat rooms. There was no way to stop or close the advertisement and this is completely unacceptable for an all ages app. I will be reporting this directly to iTunes as this is a violation of their ToS..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Old version was way betterUpgrade sucks.Version: 3.16.0
✓ Definitely trying to steal your infoThey ask your age then you finish the first puzzle and they tell you you have the fastest time and ask for your name then I deleted it.Version: 3.15.14
✓ SlowToo much time between games. Go back to the old version this one sucks.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Last updateThe addition of the game lost screen is not necessary and just slows you down from getting into the next game unlike before when you just reset by hitting the face which funnily enough is what showed you if you’ve lost.Version: 3.15.13
✓ New “Game Over” ScreenI like to play my game with the most possible bombs on the map, so I fail a lot. It used to be that I could instantly start a new game by tapping the face at the top of the screen, which was fast and enjoyable to the experience. However, this new update added a new game over animation that is impossible to skip. There is no option to turn it off, and it ruins the ability to simply reset and continue the game. Instead, I have to wait for the animation to play out before I can reset. In addition, the new update has thrown out the ability to look over your mistake. If I am doing well and I suddenly lose, I want to be able to look where I made a mistake. Overall, this new update has ruined my experience, and I hope there is a version rollback coming soon..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Used to be greatUsed to be a great minesweeper app, didn’t mind the ads either, now there’s something wrong with it it literally always pauses my music or podcasts. Not sure if it’s something to do with their ads but its honestly crap now, will be deleting and downloading a different version.Version: 3.15.12
✓ Buggy and too many adsIt’s minesweeper not wish.com drop the ads also not too hard to code I don’t know how you messed this one up.Version: 3.15.2
✓ Audio interruptions and unbearable adsGameplay is perfectly acceptable and fairly faithful to the original game. However, when playing if listening to audio from other apps, I’ve been frequently interrupted by an unspecified source and audio cuts out—not fun. Recent addition of 15 second ads in between every game has made it almost unbearable..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Too many adsThe gameplay is classic, as expected, but there are too many annoying ads. I deleted after a few days..Version: 3.15.6
✓ The real hidden bomb is the micro transactionsThe new update ruined a classic game.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Good but glitchIt’s a good replica of the classic mine sweeper we all know and love back on our old computers. But there’s a glitch we’re even if a square is touching multiple bombs, it will only register as one meaning you can only win out of luck sometimes.Version: 3.15.6
✓ Tons of ad’s and a UI that has gotten way worseFilled with ad’s everywhere. Also, app refused to load when I was not connected to internet (on a flight); It just kept trying to load an ad and would not let me play without loading the ad first. The UI has gotten considerably worse compared to when I first started using the app. There’s a ‘Game Lose’ animation that takes seconds to complete before the “New Game” and “Try Again” options load. Also, why was the “View Board” option removed? If you want to see your board after a mistake, you have to press New Game and then back in order to see it. Took me a while to realize that, and even now I’d say it doesn’t make sense. None of the recent updates or changes have made the app any better; It just loads more ad’s (to make more money…) and makes using it more annoying. I had used this app for years, but will be looking for a replacement since this one is a pain to use now..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Another abandoned appThis looks like the original Microsoft game but it’s not designed for mobiles. The game doesn’t rotate so the hard difficulty which is a horizontal board constantly zooms in and out when trying to select a square. There is an ad after every mine explosion, so getting started on hard difficulty could take ages with another 2 minute ad every time. It looks like it could be fun but it’s clear the developers haven’t bothered using the app themselves in years. Even the app store product description is for a skating app and nothing to do with Minesweeper..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Best one out of a crappy lotI wanted to give it less stars but all the other minesweepers are even worse. The two things that really irk me are the zoom out on game over and the ads making your music stop. The first is going to stop me from playing and I will literally have to stop because it’s making my eyes hurt from the constant zooming actions. The second is annoying but I can deal with it. There was one minesweeper that allows you to toggle off the zoom out on game over but the animation on placing a bomb for that game is too slow to make it playable. I really just wish the devs here would get rid of the zoom because I don’t understand the need for it at all. I only play the biggest board.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Buggy and luck basedOnce you get to the bigger puzzles there are always spots where you are completely unable to deduce the squares with actual logic. Because of this in every game you will HAVE to guess and rely on luck, meaning you can make it to the final, say, 10 squares and have to guess, leaving all your progress and hard work up to pure chance which can cost you the game if you get unlucky. Need to have better puzzle creators that get rid of this error. No minesweeper puzzle should rely on luck at any point. Not to mention several times whilst playing one of the larger puzzles the app will kick me out and reset everything. Seriously needs to improvement.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Adds are intrusive and annoyingThere is no way to quickly clear mines around a known area and the mechanism for marking mines is inefficient..Version: 3.12.1
✓ Disappointing nowWay too many ads and weird freeze upon opening. Frustrating and won’t use this app anymore..Version: 3.15.6
✓ There are better versions of this classicIt’s takes too long to start a new game, and considering how often you need to go through this process, design flaw in my opinion. In addition I think the zooming mechanics need improving. I hated how when attempting to take a close look at the squares, it would return to its default the instant you removed your fingers. Yet I did like the stats page not all other versions have this..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Great game. Frustrating app.Fun game. I would normally rate 5 stars for this game but not this last download. When you start a game the time on the game gets frozen due to the adds either loading or processing. Very frustrating. Time stops. Everything freezes for a period of time. Sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes more and repeats. After it allows you to start again it freezes for another time period. It has to do with the adds at the bottom of the screen coming on or changing, in my opinion. I don’t mind the adds but not every 20 seconds and freezing my game. No way to go fast and improve your time. It didn’t use to be like this. It seems adds are more important now than the game. Hopefully someone can look into this and get it corrected with a future update..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Too many casino adsI deleted the app, the amount and duration of the ads was too hard to deal with..Version: 3.15.12
✓ UselessDownloaded this game and when I opened the app it nothing work!.Version: 3.15.2
✓ Too many adsI have enjoyed minesweeper for years but now it seems I get an ad every time I tap anywhere… beauty of minesweeper was always the speed of the games. I won’t be playing any more..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Defeat menuUsed to be the best Minesweeper app. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Buggy with intrusive adsKeeps starting with the same game. Starts a different skill level than set to. Records high scores against the wrong skill level although it’s flattering to see it thinks I did the hardest level in an impossibly fast time. After a small number of starts full screen ads take over for irritatingly long time often blaring music. Have now deleted it..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Advert HeavyGood game but the amount of adverts through it is insane. It takes longer to get to the next game than actually playing it. Other than that it’s a good old classic..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Puzzle enthusiastDisappointed with latest changes. You need a finger the size of a single pixel to close the adverts, and you need to know the exact point to hit. (X is not the spot by the way). Cycles between advert and download page for 10 minutes so you can play a 2 minute game. Know you have to have adverts, but having adverts you can’t close pointless..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Too Many AdsIt’s a good game but way too many ads. I normally only play hard mode, and when I choose my first tile it normally only reveals that one tile, so I am forced to tap blindly on the blocks surrounding that tile, hoping for the best. Due to this you will lose most games in the first few taps. After you lose an ad immediately pops up. After I finish watching that ad, I will try to start a new game, then another ad pops up. Then I finally get to start a new game, just to lose in the first few taps, and restart the whole process. However, once you finally get a good/lucky start the game is very fun. On average I will have 3-5 games that I die in the very beginning, for every 1 game that I actually make progress. So I’ll end up watching 6-10 ads for every 1 game of minesweeper, which I find unacceptable..Version: 3.15.12
✓ MinesweeperGood game but far too many persistent irritating adverts..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Tried to charge me £15 every second even when off the appI don’t normally leave reviews but when an app tries to scam me out of £15 i obviously will, when you press the home button after being on the app it brings up a notification to charge you £15 using your fingerprint (while your finger is on the home button). Luckily my fingerprint failed but when i pressed cancel it instantly brought up the notification. Even after restarting my phone i still got this popup for £15 and the only way to get rid of it is to pay the money or restart your phone and quickly uninstall the app before you get the popup again. TLDR: This app is affectively malware that forces you to pay £15..Version: 3.9.3
✓ An amazing game ruined by AdsI love this game and how it has been adapted to use on an iPhone. However, there are two main issues working together: the random guessing of single tiles to start the game (as talked about by many other reviews) in tandem with the frequency and length of Ads that play after a small x amount of attempts. The problem is, I’ll take anywhere from 5-10 single taps to get a game going, but in that span of 5-10 tries I’ll get up to 3 ads! At that point I’d have spent 90% of my time watching ads instead of actually using the app. I liked the game better when the ads were less frequent. Nowadays I’ll exit the app after the second ad cuz it’s truly a waste of time. There’s nothing worse than watching a middle aged man fail easy games for 30 seconds just because you can’t randomly guess a lucky combination of tiles on the first go. at least make them good ads :(.Version: 3.15.6
✓ Age verification?Why I’m the world do I need to verify my age to play minesweeper of all games, that has been out without a care in the world since 1992. This would make sense if you had 18+ ads and that was your marketing strategy but at least tell the user base this first. Secondly why are there 18+ ads on a game that’s nothing more than logic and facilitates cognitive development? The last thing someone would be in the mood for while playing minesweeper is getting into a private chat room with someone.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Too many adsIt used to be good but has changed so now an advert or two plays between each attempt, sometimes pretty long ones. It’s extra annoying if you click one square and then the next one is a bomb and then you have to watch ads to play again. I’m deleting this and downloading a different minesweeper app..Version: 3.15.2
✓ New Update sucksI used to love this app but now the new update includes everything I never wanted.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Too many adsThis was a fun game,, but there are way too many ads now.Version: 3.15.12
✓ Sticky controlsIt froze a lot so I couldn’t keep playing while the timer went. Held down for a flag twice, very long presses, and instead it exposed the bomb..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Great app for ads, with slight gameplay in betweenLove how the app gives you numerous ads when you open it however there’s an issue, it seems to display the minesweeper game for a few seconds. But other than that the ads keep going. love it! keep up the good work!.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Better, less glitchy minesweeper apps out thereTRY A DIFFERENT APP. This game has a few issues that I don’t love and IT WILL LOSE YOU YOUR GAME. I’ve gotten very far on the hardest board multiple times only for a glitch to lose me the game. Issues I’ve found after less than 3 hrs of playing: 1) It allows you the option to long press to flag, but if you don’t press for long enough, it taps the bomb. There is no way to change the long press length. 2) If you select flagging mode, you can tap multiple times to flag, then to “?”, then to reset it to normal. There have been multiple times in flagging mode where the game thinks I’m not trying to flag and uncovers a bomb for me. Extremely annoying. 3) As other people have mentioned, your first tap doesn’t uncover a large section. You have to tap around and pray you can uncover a large section instead of clicking on a bomb or else you’ll have to reset and try again. 4) Game will freeze and not let you reset sometimes. You’ll have the restart the app. Not a big issue if you love wasting your time. 5) There is no way to continue playing after one of these glitches. Mess up? Too bad 😃.Version: 3.15.2
✓ It's sometimes wrongI have noticed that sometimes it will say there is only one mine adjacent to one of the squeares. However, this is not the case. It only seems to do it when the mine is diagonal, and it only seems to so it for ”1” mine adjacent. If this was fixed it would be as close as you could get to the original!.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Good game, endless adsI’ve been playing this for a while and the game itself is excellent. It’s just like the original and plays well. However, they’ve recently changed their ads and you now have to ‘x’ out 3 times per ad to get back to the game. Makes it unplayable so I am deleting and trying a different version..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Ads and one number tilesThe ads that interrupt you with a 30 second video when you finish a game or lose aren’t good for the player. I get distracted by the ads and it throws me off my game. The best ads are the ones that you can close right after they pop up. Please show these and these only. Normally when you start a game, you will always open to an open space with plenty of options to go. But this app makes it so you usually open to a single number and from there, it becomes a guessing game. I still have fun but sometimes this issue becomes so bad that I find myself losing 5+ times in a row because I couldn’t guess where a mine was gonna be based on a single number. All of this, just for my single attempt that got sort of far to be interrupted by a 30 second video ad when I lose. You can see how it can get really frustrating. Hope these issues can be acknowledged somehow..Version: 3.12.1
✓ Ambiguity bug, battery drain, good appGenerally a good app. There's a bug with ambiguous situations. Say you have 1 mine left, 2 remaining tiles, mostly surrounded by mines and 2 numbers next to it. In cases where it could be either one, original Minesweeper made sure you can pick either one without hitting the mine. This avoids frustration, where you lose games just due to pure chance. Issue also occurs with 2x2 blocks in the corner. Also, battery drain is pretty heavy. I'd also like to have the ability to adjust the duration I have to keep tapping to place a mine..Version: 3.8.6
✓ AdsGame is fine, but it runs weird scam weight loss pill ads. Not very responsible of the developers.Version: 3.15.14
✓ Latest Update isn’t so great ):I’ve had this game on my phone for years and always enjoyed it. A very simple app, perfect for periods of no cell service. That’s what I enjoyed about it. That’s why I’m giving the app 3 stars despite removing it. This latest update has added one feature that has caused me to remove the app from my phone: that “try again/new game” screen that pops up within 0.1 milliseconds of clicking on a bomb. It prevents everyone from seeing the board solution and it slows down starting a new game. The other features that came with the latest update seem to be great, and I don’t even mind the ads (they’re unobtrusive). I just don’t like being unable to see the solution of a difficult board..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Game freezesThe app often freezes while in use making the game useless..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Too many adverts!!!!!!!Had this game for years and love it but recently the volumes of adverts is ridiculous! Literally after every time you hit a bomb or win, even when you are trying to find your starting point in a game and hit a bomb. I get they need to make money but every time?!!!.Version: 3.15.6
✓ Ads mute my music/podcasts!When you introduced ads? Fine When you pushed ads after every game? Ok When the ads took 30 seconds to finish and you can’t skip? Alright, I can deal But when the ads start automatically pausing my podcast or music running in the background? And I can’t pre-emptively mute the ads? Do you think I’m playing minesweeper in meditative silence or something? This is an easy thing to fix and you should, unless you want to lose your players..Version: 3.15.6
✓ New update has ruined itBeen playing this game for years and been loving it; however, with this new update it has been ruined. The game feel clunky and slow to restart after finishing a game, and it also now features aggressive monetisation. Hugely disappointed..Version: 3.15.13
✓ An old favouriteEnjoyed Minesweeper for a couple of days but have just deleted the app because a Visa ad kept coming up every 3 to 5 seconds regardless of whether I let ad run to end, it would reappear a few seconds later rendering Minesweeper unplayable. Would otherwise have been 5 stars from me.Version: 3.8.6
✓ The app is fun but has a few bugsThe app is great fun but quite often the game will give you the wrong number and cause you to click on a mine e.g. It will say 1 when there is 2 mines next to it.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Ads ads adsThis app is ridiculous. Ads constantly. Absolutely terrible. If it was an ad every 3 games, I could handle it. But there is usually 2 ads between games if you fail. 1 if you succeed. Frustrating and greedy..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Awful since adsUsed to be one of the most well functioning apps, now there is an ad every time you lose. The app takes you to various different screens after you win or lose and the whole process of playing is now so clunky and frustrating. The ads are barely skippable and take so long, deleting after years of having it on my phone because it’s simply not worth it to play now..Version: 3.15.13
✓ New Update BadThe game used to be so good but the new update sucks so hard! It’s so bad that I’m writing my first ever app review (I think). It takes way too long to start a new game, used to be one click and now it takes forever.Version: 3.15.13
✓ UnplayableThe new update has made this game unplayable. Every single time u lose u have to watch “game lost” SLOWLY appear on ur screen and then go to the select screen to play again. Before the update u could just tap the yellow face and restart instantly. Whose idea was it to change this??? PLEASE never make a game again.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Good app but stats are buggedI really enjoy the game but the stats are bugged and even if I reset it shows medium time of 11seconds with no games played, and when I play games it gives a high score for difficult but says I haven’t played any games. Other than the stats feature not working properly the app is good..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Latest Version Has Annoying BugsWhen you select a square that is already uncovered next to squares that are not uncovered, all of the adjacent uncovered squares change state. One might think it was a shortcut, except some of the state changes don’t make sense (e.g. a flagged square changes to ?). I can’t reproduce it exactly yet, but pressing certain squares cause adjacent squares to uncover, but the uncovered squares are empty and some of them should have a mine. Pressing an empty square causes it to cover up again. The game is playable but annoying..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Liked it better before the updateWhat used to be one of my favorite games - simple, straightforward, and fun - has been ruined with the new updates. Every time you lose it brings you to a screen where you have to click to start a new game (graphics telling you “Lost Game” takes several seconds, and then it brings you to the settings page (annoying to get out of) or an ad. The new paid updates seem fine if you want to pay, but if you don’t want to pay the ads for it are annoying. I understand l they want to keep relevant and make money, and it has made it tedious and unappealing. I’m fine watching an ad every few games, it’s a business and I get that. The change where it feels clunky and not streamlined is my main issue..Version: 3.15.13
✓ End animation ruins experienceI really like playing this game and paid to remove adds so I can quickly start a new game when I die, especially as it can take a few games starts to get properly started, but very annoyed that the developers added an animation after ever game ruining this. Please add a setting to disable the end animation after ever game as its very frustrating to the game play..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Adverts take longer than the game!!!Painfully long adverts that you cannot avoid. Every once in a while you have a bad start and you have to watch one very long advert. If they were shorter, people would be more likely to pay attention but currently I shut my eyes because they’re far too long. Game isn’t worth playing when adverts are longer than each game attempt..Version: 3.15.8
✓ Fix level generationIt's not exactly exhilarating gameplay to have to keep refreshing and not being able to play the game because the first click leads to a single "3" or something. Nothing to go off of, and all I can do is randomly tap around for the HOPE that I might have something to actually get started with but to no avail. Half the time I do get a half-decent start, it leads nowhere. And I'm talking no 121 rule, no patterns, it's just a rectangle that forces you to guess into another dead end. I'd rather go to Google minesweeper, except for the fact that I can't play it offline. It's a mediocre minesweeper port at best until they make the game playable. I enjoy minesweeper for the logical solutions and satisfaction from being able to clear it based on what I've learned. Not constantly guessing because the level generation gives you nothing to work off of. Disappointing, looked promising. Maybe it's just the advanced difficulty, but even then Google minesweeper is better in all respects..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Lots of errorsThis is not as good as the original, as I have encountered errors where it has shown there should be 2 mines around a number but there is actually only one..Version: 3.9.3
✓ What the heck happened?I downloaded this game when it first came out and it was fun, addictive, simple but hard. Fast forward many years later, I was sitting here today and something reminded me of this fun game I used to play and so I went through every app I have ever downloaded and I found it! I downloaded the game again and what the heck happened?? You have overcomplicated a simple game. What’s with paying now and navigating through all the different menus??? Seriously you have ruined it. You know simple is better in life..Version: 3.15.14
✓ BuggyThe game is fun and you can play a few levels without paying. But the issue is the numbers don’t add up sometimes. Which can lead you to clicking a bomb where the numbers tell you there shouldn’t be one..Version: 3.16.0
✓ Game does not function as intendedNumerous times the mine proximity number is wrong. Statistically there should be no mine but there is indeed a mine there. You can have 2 mines adjacent to a 1 tile, in any of the 9 possible tiles. Can’t functionally play it I understand the need for adds but if you hit a mine on the first click you have to watch adds, once that’s over and you start a new game and hit a mine again first. Yep you got it. Another 30second add. Haven’t even played a game and it’s been 1 whole minute. that’s just ridiculous. Pray for those people who hit a mine on there third go ☠️.Version: 3.15.6
✓ BugsDecent game. Sucks you have to pay for the different levels. Numbers aren’t always correct while playing the game..Version: 3.15.14
✓ The Game is Fine but Plagued with AdsThe game works fine, but creating a minesweeper game is not really that big of a feat to begin with. Placing flags is a pain and not at all convenient the way in which the UI is set up. However, the real reason this only gets two stars from me is the 30-second ads that you get sometimes consecutively after multiple losses. As everyone know some games can be as quick as a few seconds, so getting a 30-second ad after a game is a huge pain and a real turn off. I’ve had this app for months and I forget I even have it because I stop playing after 5 minutes of game play spammed with 3 or 4 30-second ads. For a game that used to be a default free game with every computer back in the day, this an actual hump that I can’t get over. Uninstalling..Version: 3.9.3
✓ Pop-Up Ads!Using the free version, I accept that there will be ads, that’s fine - but this app randomly opens pop-up tabs in Safari! Deleted straight away..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Numbers Lie!It’s very close to the Microsoft PC version, however the numbers lie. If a number says 1, they’re should only be 1 mine surrounding it - whether horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Example, if there is a number 1, within the 8 squares surrounding it there should only be 1 mine. There’s been a number of occasions I’ve lost this game because it doesn’t recognise that a mine placed diagonally & either vertically/ horizontally next to a square should register a higher number. It’s very frustrating..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Game BrokenTiles do not display correct number of mines..Version: 3.1
✓ Restriction of choicesWhen I got this I happy that I can play it on both vertical and horizontal where the others won’t. With this one I’d very restricted on the size of the box and find that I can’t make it bigger. When I try I get directed to another game with the bells and whistles to it! I don’t want to make it “more fun” or not so “boring” to play; I don’t get “bored” when it doesn’t. I want a full screen that’s not for s seasoned player. Why do we get always get directed to another game?.Version: 3.15.12
✓ UpdateThis was honestly the best minesweeper app I had ever used. I have definitely played at least a hundred hours on this app alone, love the game and this app was one of the best way to do it. But most of what I loved is missing with this new update. The very barebones settings design and a game meant purely just to play the game. Now they added animations when you win and lose, take away being able to see what you did wrong after you die (making it much harder to learn from your mistakes), which overall makes the gameplay much slower and less satisfying. I completely understand that creators can do what they want with their creations, I just have to say that what they added to it took away most of the appeal this game had to me personally..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Too many ads and takes too long to start new game.Too many ads. Update to show game lost or won slows things down too much..Version: 3.16.0
✓ FailIt isnt correct. The numbers are wrong. Waste of time.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Too many advertsIt’s an ok game and I understand that they need adverts but they are so frequent it’s extremely annoying. Especially if you’re listening to music and it’s interrupted my some stupid advert. Wouldn’t be so bad if the adverts were purely visual. Irritated me to the point I’ve downloaded another minesweeper.Version: 3.15.11
✓ Too many advertsI understand having an advert here or there but too many games are an add at both the start and end of a game, so after you get game over if you mess up you have to wait for an ad for 30 seconds, then you go to start a new game and again you’re hit by **another** ad. Shame as otherwise well made..Version: 3.15.6
✓ So buggy since the updateI play this all the time when I have mindless time to kill and it’s SO BUGGY. Freezes literally all the time. I’ll mark a bomb or click and open a space and then I take a few seconds to figure out the next move and when I go to click or mark the next box the whole screen is frozen. Have to close out completely and restart to resume. Doing this 40 times in a 10 minute period gets old and disruptive to my mindless time and I’m seriously considering deleting. Downloaded a few other versions to try. Hopefully they won’t freeze constantly. If they work this one is likely gone..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Simple, fun gamePretty good adaptation of the old Windows game, but I find it annoying that the “You Win” message covers up the board and there’s no way to remove it to review the game board after winning. I like to have a look at my work after I’ve finished! Change this, and the game would be great..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Too many adsUsed to be a great app, now there’s way too many ads. A new ad between ever game. So if you get a mine on the first go that’s another 20 second ad to watch. Deleting the app now.Version: 3.15.12
✓ Frustrating for a few reasonsIt’s absolutely saturated with ads. That’s par for the course at this point. The problem is that there’s another full screen ad every time you lose a game. Most games are lost on the second or third tap, when you’re still poking around looking for a starting point. So it goes tap, tap, tap, hit a mine, watch 5 seconds of an ad, wait for the X to show up, tap the X, wait for the X to show up on the SECOND part of the ad, accidentally tap one pixel to the side of it, exit the App Store page it just opened, and repeat this about five times just to get a game started where I can start applying actual logic. On top of that, I’ve lost games because it randomly doesn’t register my long tap to place a flag and blows up the mine instead. And then it’s time to watch 5 more ads..Version: 3.15.6
✓ I’m 100% confident that this is the worst version of minesweeper I’ve ever played.#1. The game was not coded properly. Starting the game is notoriously difficult because there are no guaranteed tile reveals on your first click, which means you’ll be losing 20 games at random in order to simply start playing with enough context to make educated guesses. #2. As if being able to simply start a game of minesweeper in this version was difficult enough, you will also be shown an ad after every time you fail and have to reset to try again. Ads were not shown as often as they were not long ago, so this implies that the developers of this app only recently decided to up the rates at which they’ll be shown. Both of these problems should be of small significance considering it’s standard for these apps to shove advert down your throat, however, when two problems tie so critically with one another, it’s a recipe for frustrating your player base and forcing them to find better alternatives of this app. With that, I’ll now uninstall this app and never touch anything these developers release again. Don’t put yourself through torture, everyone. There are far better versions of minesweeper on the App Store for the time being..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Disappointing honestlyWas my all-time favourite app until these recent updates. I understand ads for profit before but the amount now is absurd. The cost for premium is quite something too. Loved this game for its simplicity, but now the extra UI stuff just made it unnecessarily complicated and wastes time (like the Win/Lose screen, we just want to restart and play). The design was better before as well… Will likely move to another minesweeper app..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Not happyThere are a few problems I have with this version. The first and most glaring is that it recycles games; I frequently get stuck in loops of playing the same layout over and over again until I lose. Secondly, it doesn’t give a free first move. This means that oftentimes I will lose automatically simply because the first square I clicked on was a bomb, or a numbered square that provided no utilizable information. Thirdly and most recently, the game has been freezing up on me randomly when I am on a winning streak, forcing me to close the game and start over. This has taken all the fun out of playing. I will say that I enjoy the simple, classic design of the game, which is why I initially selected this Minesweeper version: It does not try to be flashy or deviate unnecessarily from the original. However, it’s not worth the problems; I’ll be looking for a new Minesweeper for the future..Version: 3.8.6
✓ AwfulThere are ads after every game, there is no flag button, and it is just overall not worth playing this app compared to the thousand other versions in the App Store..Version: 3.15.14
✓ Not an improvementGame finishes too quickly. Screen disappears before I can see what time I’ve got. Tells me then I have the highest score/ fastest time and asks me to input my name before taking me to another screen with a different high score/ fastest time on it..Version: 3.15.13
✓ ADS will make you lose your mindI’ve had this app for years and always loved it. In the last couple months, though, the ads have gotten totally out of hand. When you hit your first tile, it rarely results in a big playable space; it’s usually just one number. This makes the odds good that you’re going to hit a bomb before you actually get to make any real plays. This has always been a minor annoyance with this app, but it is making the game actually unplayable now when combined with the ads. After EVERY single one of these micro games, where you hit two cells before deploying a bomb and having to start over, a 30-second ad plays. It’s painful. And I will be looking for another app because of it. Ugh..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Music randomly starts playingI really like the game but sometimes loud music will start playing for a few second and then turn off. Then today it was continuously playing loud rap music until I fully exited out of the app..Version: 3.12.1
✓ Could use safe start option.The version of minesweeper on my laptop starts you with at least one open square, no matter which square you chose. I like my laptop version a little more because your first move will always be a non-mine and non-numbered square..Version: 3.15.12
✓ Very flawed. Don’t bother.The game doesn’t accurately register press-and-hold to flag mines. 5 out of 10 games on Normal difficulty ended with attempting a firm, centered press-and-hold to flag a known mine, only for it to trigger and send the game immediately to an ad, which makes me suspect that this is intentional game design since ads are how developers profit from a free mobile game. It’s not an issue of my phone’s screen tap sensitivity as I have not had this problem with ANY other app or game, including other free Minesweeper games. I thought the top Apple Store comment (about having to tap multiple places on the screen to open up a section) was just someone who forgot that *sometimes* original Minesweeper had that problem on the first tap, or maybe a later tap to reveal more of the gameboard. But no, this is excessive. Out of 10 games on Normal difficulty, all 10 required 4-8 taps to open up a section to actually start playing. It’s annoying, but the real problem is how much that increases the chance of triggering a mine before you’re even started. Again, this is more excessive than any other Minesweeper iPhone game I’ve played. There are TONS of free Minesweeper ports in the Apple Store. Find another one. Don’t waste time downloading this one. Edit: To test my theory I immediately downloaded the next 3 Minesweeper games in the Apple Store- all played smoothly with none of the design flaws this game has..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Most of the time it's ads75% you're looking at an ad.Version: 3.15.12
✓ New update makes it unplayableUsed to like this app but now if you hit a bomb it takes ages to restart while you have to wait for the game lost sign to go across the screen. Much better when it was like the classic minesweeper and could just press the square at the top of the screen.Version: 3.15.13
✓ Decent Game with problemsThe game itself is fun. The gameplay is smooth, ad integration is good, but there are 2 major problems. First of all when you start a new game and hit a tile, there is a good chance that it will reveal 1 number and not a larger playable space. When this happens you have to randomly tap around which makes the game somewhat impossible. I think the issue is caused by each play having a set board and your taps being random. An easy fix would be to set the board after the first tap so you get a playable space. The other issue is sometimes the numbers glitch and display the wrong number. At first I thought this was just me but I looked and saw that the number is wrong. For example there would be a 1 with 2 bombs surrounding it or a 2 with 3 bombs. These issues could be overlooked if they didn’t happen as often. If these issues could be fixed this could easily be a 5 out of 5 game..Version: 3.15.2
✓ Has bugsI have a print screen showing a bug where the numbers are not possible. Uninstalling..Version: 3.15.13
✓ Technically WorksOf course, I don't give 5 stars to an app for that technically works. I actually downloaded this one because a different app didn't let you zoom out. However, that doesn't mean it's perfect. Here's just a short list of adjustments I'd appreciate: • When you start a game, it should always clear a small field. This is a logic game, not a guessing game. The player should always know where the next mine is by deduction alone, not chance. • The new game button should be on top, available with one tap, not two. • A feedback option directly in the app. I shouldn't have to review the app to give feedback..Version: 3.9.3
✓ AdsTried to play one game, got an ad when i opened the app. I lost on my second tile click and was given another ad for losing, then a third ad for resetting the board. I watched more ads than i had moves. I know you can pay to remove them but that many adverts is beyond ridiculous. Deleting the app..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Needs improvementI enjoy playing Minesweeper, but this app has a significant bug that needs attention. Sometimes when the app is suspended, it restarts the game, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the subscription model for an ad-free version doesn’t feel justified; a one-time payment option would be more reasonable. One of the core aspects of Minesweeper is analyzing the board when you hit a mine to understand your mistake. Unfortunately, the app immediately throws you into a game over screen, presumably for advertising purposes. This interrupts the natural flow of gameplay and can be discouraging. In summary, while Minesweeper is a classic game, this app falls short with the restart bug and an unconvincing subscription model. There are better options available that offer a smoother and more user-friendly experience..Version: 3.16.0
