Mine Finder Professional – Board Game Review
Mine Finder Professional is a Board/Puzzle/Education game from Sergio Licea, first launched in 10th September 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 34+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Mine Finder Professional Stand Out
The classic MineSweeper challenges you with 4 different levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and a Custom minefield where you can adjust the board size and the number of mines.
The goal of the game is to clear a minefield without detonating any mines. You win the game when all the squares without mines are revealed. Touch on the squares where you believe there are no mines to reveal those locations. If a number appears, it indicates how many mines are present in the 8 squares surrounding that number. You can mark any square where you think a mine may be with a flag, and if you have any doubts about the presence of a mine in a given square, you can mark it with a question mark.

Community Insight:
Bought this for a buck and the second game we played was just wrong. A square marked as a 2 with only two possible squares for mines was clearly wrong. If your CHARGING money for the app (incredibly simple app no less) at least get it right.
It is not unusual for the flag button to not switch on when tap it. It is possible in some rare instances we may miss the tiny button unknowingly and of course the tap on the causes the ours to explode. We cant be the only person who has this issue. This can be avoided by simply letting the entire flag button bar respond to the tap and not just the tiny button. Also frequently it doesnt respond when it IS tapped. We dont know if this a phone problem or a ours Finder issue. There are times when it takes 3 or 4 taps to make it respond. When youre trying to beat the clock its annoying.
Very good game with excellent graphics. Two suggestions that might make it a great game with improved popularity: 1) Add the ability to adjust the speed of the game. 2) Add the ability to tap a number so all squares that dont have a ours would open up. Otherwise, very good job.
Dont waste your time or your dollar. This game is just slow and so bad.
