Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb Positive Reviews

Almost perfect port of minesweeper!I’ll just start out by saying that if you’re looking for an overall good minesweeper game then look no further. This game is a very good, classic strategy game and these developers brought it over to mobile and it works amazingly. I’ve noticed and love the feature where if I’ve flagged the mine and the the number the rest of the tiles get revealed without having to be tapped; it’s a real quality of life improvement. The ads on this game are not very intrusive and are added in very well. The only issue I have with the game is when starting a new game ( in this version) your first tile that you tap will be a freebie. This is good and is how things should be. The issue arises when only one number is revealed and I’m forced to tap blindly around the number until I can find a larger field (or empty space). I find that most new games will end on the first few taps because I have no options but to randomly tap around my first number and hope for the best. There are some other versions of minesweeper that fix this issue by making your first tap reveal a nice field with plenty of options to go and spread out. It doesn’t even have to be huge; just large enough to give a new game a chance to go on. All in all the game has no problems except for the one mentioned above and that really isn’t that big of a problem just more of an annoyance than anything else. I definitely recommend this game..Kirstin😁😘Version: 3.8.6

Really Recommend (but fix some things please)This has been the only minesweeper app I have ever used. I have had it for many years now. It’s efficient and clear. I highly recommend it compared to other apps out there. There are three issues with the app however and I really wish the developers would fix them!! Firstly, the records section never really makes much sense and doesn’t record my times correctly or even in the right difficulty section. The second is that there are times where I will play a specific board and then the next time I open the app to play, the first game is the exact same board. It happened for weeks once and it was fun to see how much of the board I could memorize but it’s an overall glitch. My last issue is the most frustrating. The ads on the app stop my music from playing mid-game. I don’t mind if an ad has noise but it should silence my music when an ad is not being played. For the love of god find a way to fix that. At this point, nothing is going to make me switch to another minesweeper app but there’s room for improvement with this one..J.t.s.jayVersion: 3.8.6

STOP! May be SCAM. Apple password?Something shady going on here. when I first launched the app, I got a pop up asking for my Apple ID. It looked legit and I thought it popped up for something else. I almost wrote it too cuz I was distracted, but then stopped and realized that was odd, I never seen a game ask for Apple ID out of nowhere, especially the beginning while it’s asking you acces to your notifications. So I deleted the game, reinstalled, closed everything and it asks me again. You can just hit cancel and it goes right back and you can play. Why would a game asked for your Apple ID password at the beginning of the game, when there no purchases or any other I can see that it’ll pop up. Has anyone played a game before that ask for Apple ID like this? Anyone give this game their password and experienced funny things going on. What’s the deal guys? I’m giving you guys the Benefit of the doubt, cuz it could mistake or glitch. If this comment ends up being missing somehow, I will report this game. I should’ve already..ScottMcQVersion: 3.12.1

Win/Lose Animation takes too longA while ago when I first had this app, after winning or losing there was no animation and you could instantly start a new game. I know some people just play casually or try to up their win percentage, but I play for the fastest time on normal mode. When my average time is about 40s, it adds a lot of frustration to go through a winning and losing animation after every game. I can play over a hundred games an hour, and it just adds a lot of time. I love the rest of the app, it’s the best U.I. of any of the minesweeper apps out there. But I can’t bring myself to use it with the win and lose animations. If there could just be a setting to turn it off, dependent on your preference, that’d be great. This app used to not have those animations, so I feel it would not be hard to implement. I don’t see the appeal to the animations anyways, since it’s pretty clear when a bomb lights up that you lost. Or when the smiley face pops up in the middle you’ve won. And the win animation doesn’t even include the time you got..LowevonmitternachtVersion: 3.15.14

Works just like it should.I searched for minesweeper a couple of weeks ago after remembering playin this on a PC as a teenager. I loved this game. I like this app because the ads are sparse and unobtrusive, the game play is consistent, fast, and seems to work like it should. I’m glad in download, even though it negatively affects my productivity. A couple of notes for the developer: 1) Though I play in the “Difficult” mode, the stats page records every game I play in the “Medium” mode. It actually says I’ve played zero difficult games but won 234 of those zero games. So there’s a slight glitch in the stat recording. 2) If I’m listening to a podcast or music while playing it forces the music to stop. It doesn’t always happen right away, but it eventually does. Minesweeper takes over as the active audio player even though Minesweeper has no audio. That’s annoying and always ends with me ceasing to play..Ken BestVersion: 3.8.6

Good but FlawedThis is a very good app and playing the classic minesweeper is simple and fun. The major problem I have with this app is that it does not allow me to listen to music while in the app. Unlike other apps where they just pause the music when they load, this one actively stops music and audio from playing at all times while in the app even though no audio is needed for the game. The gameplay and features are great but I don’t use it as much as I normally would because of the audio problem which should have been fixed in past updates..Tito$$$:)Version: 3.15.12

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..White Chedda DragonVersion: 3.15.2

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..SmippydooVersion: 3.12.1

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 :(.Jc77538Version: 3.15.6

Almost perfect!This is my favorite Minesweeper app and the game is so addicting. I can spend hours playing when relaxing. I only have 2 suggestions for developers and pray they make these changes to help make the app perfect. First, whether I win or lose, I want the opportunity to see the play screen before it jumps to screen telling me I won/lost. Sometimes I want to look at how I messed up, or if I beat a board I’m proud of, I’d like to take a screen cap, but the app immediately switches screens before I hardly knew what happened. Second, I wish I was able to play with the screen zoomed out where the whole board was showing at once, and also able to zoom in further than what’s currently available. Otherwise, love the app and keep up the good work!.Bulmas_applesVersion: 3.18.2

Used to be a favorite, not anymoreI’ve played this game for years, and it was a great reprise of the windows classic. In the past few months, though, the developers upped the amount of ads. I only noticed recently noticed, and now I can’t stand the game. It had always had banner ads which were fine. Now, the banners seem to be more animated, distracting me from the game. Also, there now are full screen ads after some games. I play the game with the sound off, but the ads have full volume. I now can’t play the game in some places as it’d be inappropriate to have an ad start blaring because I won a game. There is an ad free subscription, but I feel it is over-priced at $6.99 or so a month. I would do that Pe year, but not per month..SilverspaceVersion: 3.12.1

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..Wannabecowboy6Version: 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..Shifted hiVersion: 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!.Cactus boxing glovesVersion: 3.9.3

Maximum age limit on Minesweeper?I’ve loved this version of Minesweeper for years. I opened the app today and was immediately prompted with a request to enter my birth date, which I found slightly strange, however what I found stranger than that was when I tried to put in my birth year of 1955 it wouldn’t let me set it higher than 1970. There seems to be no way to skip this inquiry to play the game at this time. I understand the purpose having a minimum age requirement for certain games, but what is the point of this? I could lie about my age to get in, but instead I decided to put my thoughts out here in hopes of getting an answer. I can’t be the only person 52+ playing Minesweeper. It’s a classic!.Punk Rock TubaVersion: 3.15.13

Great game but...Overall I've had a lot of fun with this app! I used to lose a lot of games due to accidentally clicking a square instead of putting a bomb, but I got used to how the game goes and that hardly happens now. Something that is bothering me though is that sometimes when I go to start a game, I have to click multiple boxes before I get anything to work with. So the first box I click may only reveal that box, which obviously doesn't help at all. So I've lost multiple games due to that, especially the higher I go in difficulty. I'm even looking at other apps, because I'm struggling getting the more difficult games started because of it. Other than that I don't have any complaints. The adds are bearable..NaNa WhipVersion: 3.8.6

Good gameGood game that I love playing on my free time. Playing it is almost second nature to me. Sure, there can be some problems with the rng and sometimes I don’t tap sufficiently to select the Bomb on the top right. But besides all of this it make for a very clear, well run game. Message for devs: I know you probably won’t get this, but I just want to know what’s going on. I’ve been getting this message called “you’ve gotten the fastest time on expert mode, please put in your name” or something of the sort. Sure, I’ve beaten my time multiple times, but only twice have I received this message as appose to all the previous times I’ve beaten the alleged record. If you can tell me why this message shows, that’ll be greatly appreciated. Thank you!.Capt. LolzcatzVersion: 3.8.5

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..Katiebc94Version: 3.15.14

Good. Add a function.I have played over 100 hours on this game over the past four months, and have recently cleared the difficult board in 188 seconds. I end up spending a few seconds tapping for a flag, and unflagging a flag if I make a mistake, so if the developers were to allow me to specify the time it takes to flag a flag, and i were to be able to make it barely longer than revealing a block, I’d be able to clear the board faster than my current speed potential of roughly 165..Door_matt123Version: 3.8.6

It’s a good version, just slightly inconsistentI randomly downloaded this because I wanted to get back into minesweeper and for the most part it’s a great version of the classic game. At times tho, there are inconsistencies. In confidence, I’ll press some of the spaces that I know aren’t mines and it’ll be a mine because they put the wrong number of mines sorroundingnit. For example, ‘any times there will be a 1 and I already found the mine touching that 1 so i’ll press the other ones and there’s another mine???? It doesn’t happen every game but when it does it’s super annoying because i’m essentially wasting my time on a level where i’m set up to lose..KuwtqwVersion: 3.15.12

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..Bo3omar11348Version: 3.15.14

Great interface but needs a fix for 5 starsI love everything about how this app runs this classic and addicting game. There is a fix that should be addressed, however, that multiple other reviews mention. The first click should always reveal more than just one box (per how the game has historically been) so the game can get started without disrupting stats. It’s rather annoying on difficult having to start over multiple times because my first click only reveals one box which can’t get me started. Often times my next few clicks across the board only reveal one as well until I inevitably hit a bomb and have to start over..Kelinja23Version: 3.8.6

Almost a perfect mobile minesweeperThe game is fantastic! However, I noticed that I still run into a similar issue as another reviewer had a year ago. When I start a new game, while the first spot I press may always be safe, sometimes it will only expose that one tile. It is a fantastic game, and if I open more than one usually I can win a game if I'm not dumb. However, it is frustrating when you cannot always win. Because you hit a bomb and had no openings, and even more frustrating when the game tracks your success rate. This needs to be fixed. I should not be rage quitting Minesweeper. Thank you I hope this helps!.Zo2sVersion: 3.12.1

Good game except ad mechanicsUPDATE: it is only an issue with the Amvuttra ad. Love this version of Minesweeper, but not infrequently enough I will have issues where the screen is completely unresponsive except for the ad, meaning the app is completely unplayable. This occurs while the timer is still running. If I close out of the app and reopen it, it will sometimes fix the issue, but often it will quickly become unresponsive again. I actually went a long period of time without experiencing this issue but it’s acting up again. I specifically notice this with the Amvuttra ad that plays at the bottom of the screen..Pip RokVersion: 3.18.2

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..N8 the PirateVersion: 3.15.13

Slight problemOkay so it definitely is minesweeper, there is no doubt about that. you can play the classic game. in fact it maintains the box that lets you put in your name when you break a record despite not offering a way to see the top scores which is funny, but perhaps pointless. the only issue i have is that it automatically pauses any music or podcast you might be listening to, which sort of ruins the fun of playing a game like minesweeper! i don’t know why it does that because as far as i can tell, the game itself has no music or sound effects built into it, it just decides to inconvenience you for no particular reason. if that was fixed, it would be five stars. i’m not one to care about ads (though you can get back to back ads when you lose and when you start a new game), i just wish i could listen to music and play the game at the same time, like how i can with other phone games..BackseatgamerVersion: 3.15.12

Almost perfectI love minesweeper. my best time on expert is 1:43 and i am trying to get down to 1:30. i got the ad free version and it makes a huge difference!! i only have 2 complaints. most times the first tile you pick is just 1 number. my stats go way down because i just randomly tap tiles until i get a playable space. the other thing is the “GAME LOST” cutscene. it takes so long. i wish it would just pop up or end the game and you can immediately start a new game instead of waiting for the cutscene to finish. otherwise, really great game..HgblidyVersion: 3.15.14

Couple tiny issuesI enjoy the app, however there are a couple things to take note. There is always a mine in the bottom left corner of the map on the beginner difficulty. Also, sometimes it seems as though more mines will appear next to a tile than stated by that tile. The latter is most likely only a misunderstanding, however it still probably still worth looking into looked into (if there isn’t anything of much importance on your desk). At the end of the day, I like playing this classic game and probably won’t really care if any changes from now occur..Carrotsand🍌🍌🍌🍌Version: 3.8.6

Please read thisEver since the app update I get so annoyed by the game. 1. Every time you lose, you have to wait for the “Game L-o-s-t” to load and it’s annoying when I just used to click the smiley face and it was an instant restart. The new visuals aren’t cool, they just get in the way. 2. When you lose the game you can’t see the board you were playing on. You used to be able to zoom out and look around at how far you got and now you can’t see any of your stats or visually see how well you did 3. Maybe consider adding a “hint” option where you can set a predetermined number of hints before you start the game and say you select 4, then throughout the game you can select a “hint - 4” button, and select the tile you want reveled. The hints would now be at a count of 3 and you get a free tile. Please make these changes and the app would improve so much..Hannah_122_Version: 3.16.0

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..LoganL2Version: 3.9.3

Nearly perfect version of the classic gameThis is nearly a perfect version but with one GLARING problem. Random sounds will start playing in background with Bp way to shut off without shutting down the game. The only positive is that when you open app again, you start off where you were. If this is a way to get me to pay to remove the ads, it’s a pretty crappy way to do that. Fix that and allow to change tile design without paying for it and you’ll get a 5-star rating from me..Joe2D2Version: 3.15.14

Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb Negative Reviews

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..DestructaboyVersion: 3.15.13

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..ScratchyournoseVersion: 3.15.2

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..LoLEdiaraiVersion: 3.9.3

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..SanyexaroshaVersion: 3.8.6

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..WillJ61Version: 3.15.12

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..SaveBitlifeVersion: 3.15.14

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..SoozafoneVersion: 3.15.6

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..Felipe28gVersion: 3.9.3

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..Cade H.Version: 3.15.13

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..MisccrlVersion: 3.15.13

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..Green_SamuraiVersion: 3.15.13

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.RandomPhantom0009Version: 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 😃.Alii015Version: 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..JeffpnVersion: 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..CaseymcgillVersion: 3.15.6

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.Oxford-commas-n-Oxford-shoesVersion: 3.8.6

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..Hoodwink42Version: 3.15.14

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..Metso DormVersion: 3.15.14

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?.CoehessVersion: 3.15.12

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..GjkvdfVersion: 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.RahuajdnxVersion: 3.15.14

Game doesn’t workThe numbers are completely incorrect (will have a completely swept field, but the number is telling me there are 5 mines). I will flag all mines in a game, and the game should be won, but nothing happens (as if I have missed one, but after I set a mine off, it clearly showed that I have labelled them all correctly). Literally makes no sense, you can’t even win. And then they throw ads in every 30 seconds. Huuuge money grab/scam.IceFireFanVersion: 3.18.2

Terrible monetization and adsI downloaded this game a couple of years ago and there were zero ads and little to no monetization. Now, you can’t even lose a game without getting an annoying 30 second as that you can’t skip. Game modes are locked behind a $20 a month subscription service that is marketed in a predatory way. I assume the game was bought by a scummy mobile game publisher and monetized to an extreme level. Do not play this game, you cannot enjoy it to the fullest without paying a ridiculous amount..MichelstppVersion: 3.18.2

God awfulThe first time you start the app you get at least 4 pop ups and it is littered with ads unless you pay. Just going to stick to my computer..Kris2128Version: 3.18.2

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..DhncfygcdtjcdVersion: 3.16.0

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..SmogsanVersion: 3.16.0

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..Jer_jiVersion: 3.15.14

AdsGame is fine, but it runs weird scam weight loss pill ads. Not very responsible of the developers.DansirohVersion: 3.15.14

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..Graysam2Version: 3.15.14

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..NoteTaker12345Version: 3.15.13

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.BlackMitVersion: 3.15.13
