Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this app so much. Well worth the investment to go premium. We have over 5000 games played on advanced itself. No wifi needed so its a great game no matter where you are.
The game is exactly what was advertised, which is all we needed. The controls are intuitive and work well consistently. We also appreciate the options for customization, both for the visuals and the settings. The thing that made us pick this app over all the others though was the companys privacy policy. This was the only Minesweeper app we saw that doesnt sell your personal data, and thats a rare thing these days! So to Spica, thank you for creating a great app while also having a great privacy policy. Ill be sure to look out for future apps.
We can play up to intermediate but does not show the board above intermediate. If we tap the blank area it responds but cannot be seen. Updated our rating because the developers worked with us to solve this issue. If anyone has this issue, you need to set your iPhones display from zoomed to standard.
Currently the advanced level not working since update. The bug fixes created a bug that doesnt allow you to play. Its been over a week. Not sure if they are even going to try and fix that this point.
Ive been using this app for years.. > 15,000 games and still lovin it.
Works great, configurable to your play style, and most importantly NO ADS! Totally worth the $2 or whatever trivial amount theyre charging.
Love the themes. Works flawlessly. A lot of fun.
Best interface we've used. Feature request: Support multitouch, in the sense that one may move the map with one finger while tapping mines with the other. This, plus a horizontal mode, would make this app 6/5 stars.
This is the one app that we will be truly sad if it becomes unavailable. This app is simple and works beautifully. We have ours set to metro so we have to pay attention to the numbers and not the colors. We hope this app gets all the support it needs to remain active.
This is one of the only apps that we paid money for, and the reason is that it simply nailed the minesweeper touchscreen interface like no other app has. It's pretty much the only game we've kept on our phone over the years, not only because minesweeper is such a wonderful and intellectually-stimulating game, but also because it makes so much sense as a touchscreen experience! In flagging mode you can go very fast, and although you might hit a wrong tile once in a while, enough practice will give you the control to play without errors. We recommend the blue and orange modern layout, it's aesthetically quite pleasing and doesn't hurt your eyes when playing at night. In short, this app provides the ultimate touchscreen minesweeper experience, and we recommend it to anyone with any interest in challenging puzzle games.
Love the game! Ive emailed the developer to please make the game for Android for the longest time, but we guess it will never happen. No other app for minesweeper like this one. Oh well…so sad. Id give it 5 stars if it came to android.
We tried several Minesweeper games before choosing this one. It is fast, fully configurable, works consistently. The price to remove ads seems fair to us; writing and supporting software takes a lot of work.
We really love this game a lot, it is the only game we play and we are great at it, it helps us with our mental focus.
Love it! Great game whenever you have a few minutes to kill. Never gets old.
Fantastic game. Highly recommend.
Good but update so it's not an app from iOS 5 please. Thank you.
We love Minesweeper and have played it for 20 years now. This is a wonderful implementation of the game and continues to be our preferred version of Minesweeper to this day. We play every day and rarely play any other versions because there's no need. Plus, they tend to be inferior, in our opinion. This app is a must have for Minesweeper players.
Complete garbage. We just went twelve games in a row that came down to two blocks. One is a ours, the other isn't. Every time it's the wrong one. Completely pointless to have to guess which is a ours and then lose the game. No brain or strategy required. Until they update, get a different one.
Love the game, till it comes to a spot where you have to guess.
Plays just like it should. Appreciate the rolling statistics.
Awesome game but this new update has a tendency to switch modes for no reason. One second your flagging mines and then the next ours you flag goes off because the mode switched on you without notice.
We love this game. This is a great interface.
We keep looking for the best ones and right now this one sits on the top. Lots of options for tweaking how you play and it runs very well with no bugs or issues. We would like to see more theme boards :) This app also seems to update and is current. This should feed the Mindsweeper fix.
Very enjoyable. Doesn't crash in our experience. Highly recommended. Wish there were more skins.
Love this game looks just like the computer.
1 suggestion though make diagrams so that we could of learned it faster but soo awesome thanks for the ios version.
Best minesweeper game we could find on the App Store.
Great minesweeper. However, with iPad, the screen fails to re-size with intermediate and advanced levels, so you are having to re-position the playing field so it is visible through a much smaller window. It's a shame the game can't take advantage of the entire display.
We never liked Minesweeper, but this app changed that. We are now an everyday player of the game, thanks to the easy to use layout and Quick Flagging and Quick Change modes. Normally we don't pay for apps, but this was worth it.
Great game, but we would like the option of being able to see the whole board at one time, even if it is a larger board and the squares become tiny. Minesweeper rocks though. :).
Great game, could use higher difficulties, maybe and endless mode. And you determine what percent the mines are.
Has very thing you would expense Ina stood minesweeper app.
Fulfills our need to play, love it. Excellent fully functional near standard gameplay.
Very stable, functions well, awesome.
It's almost as good as the Windows version, but there was a trick in the windows version that would highlight all the squares around a number.
So far so good with this minesweeper game. Good view of the playing service. Controls good. Seems like a stable app. No in game music, but that's okay b/c there's no interference w/ iPod music.
We've tried lots of Minesweeper apps, and this one wins by a mile. The developer clearly understands user interface and design.
After all these years it's still as addictive as ever … THANKS.
Basic minesweeper. Can't go wrong.
Well worth the money. We dig. Haven't played the game in years and it's exactly how we remember it. Flawless.
Not as great as the classic computer version but gets you your minesweeper fix.
For .99 we would expect more themes and options then the free version but besides that it's an awesome app. Didn't think we would be using this app that much :D.
We had another Minesweeper app for our iPhone for about a year and wanted to upgrade to the full version but it did not exist, so we went searching for another. We downloaded the free version of Minesweeper Q and after playing it for less than 5 minutes we decided it was worth it to buy the full version because the controls operated the same as our old game we had gotten used to (best time 10 seconds on the old game, 14 so far). We bought the Platinum version because we hate ads using our limited data plan and also hate clicking them on accident. Other than no advertisements, there really are no more features we noticed. It would be nice to have a few more features. Although we do not know what they could be, because we admit we have not fully explored the game. If you are looking for the best version of Minesweeper, then this is the app to buy. Add us as a friend on GameCenter please! Our username is M3 GTR! We look forward to updates to this app because we know Minesweeper Q will always be one of our best and most played games on our iPhone. We have an Apple iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5 with 3 provisioning profiles for apps installed. This information should help others in deciding if the app has or will crash on their device.
No way to input your name under high scores. Otherwise it's pretty good.
