HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (47 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Too many ads36%

★★★★★ Tired of increasingly annoying ads.
★★★★★ I'm willing to accept ads, but NOT when they wreck my games.

Lost data, sync, backup18%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have lost track of the times I have been playing, was interrupted and had to go to the Home screen to save the game, only to come back and have an ad play.
★★★★★ But the latest release introduced a new "feature" that annoys me so much that I deleted the game and wrote this review.

Crashes and freezes14%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When I exit the ad and go back to the game, all I see is a black screen!

★★★★★ Used to like this game, but now it freezes all the time!
Price and subscription11%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I don't mind sitting through ads so that you can make money, but this is the first app that jumps out with noisy crud.
★★★★★ If you wanted more money, you should have created add on packs with different shaped boards to extend the game.
★★★★★ I would have payed a dollar up front but you tried to scam it out of me....

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Original Review: I just wanted to add a rare appreciation: I like the ad placement in this app. 3★, Jul 28, 2021
  • This game should have been retired 10 years ago. 1★, Jul 27, 2018
  • I wish it were possible to flag the guesses. 1★, May 23, 2016
  • If you wanted more money, you should have created add on packs with different shaped boards to extend the game. 1★, Feb 3, 2016
  • This has all the features and functionality Minesweeper should have. 5★, Sep 18, 2015
  • Really enjoy this game; the only thing is i wish there was a better way to plant flags. 5★, Aug 24, 2015
  • I wish you could take some of the guessing out of it and let the player use more strategy and technique 5★, Jul 13, 2015
  • It needs an "auto win" function so that when your down to the last five or so mines, with the rest correctly marked, it finishes it for you. 4★, Apr 20, 2015

Fantastic game just as fun as the original and without the invasive data collecting.

Not entirely compatible with iPadOS 26’s new windowing system

Still a good game after all these years, but after updating my iPad to iPadOS 26, the app doesn’t behave as well as it should. In particular, the app no longer covers the full screen, even if you try to stretch it to do so. And when you want to exit the app, you can’t just flick it up and out of the way anymore; you now have to use the red or yellow button in the corner. I suspect they’ll never fix that, as the app hasn’t been updated in four years, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

★★★★★Feb 3, 2024
Got to stay alert and not go too fast!

Watch “mode” closely

★★★★★Aug 24, 2023
Classic game, okay levels

At a certain point you end up having to guess between two squares where the mine is and both could be it because the game isn’t solvable. My luck is extremely bad and I’ve only guessed right once. Waste of time when that happens. Please fix that like maybe something that understand both are safe options due to the tiles around it

★★★★★May 28, 2023
It’s fun,

I like it because it’s really fun. It’s not too complicated and I am happy when I make my record at it.

Annoying Ads - ADIOS

Tired of increasingly annoying ads. Betting ways to occupy my time online. Deleting app.
