Minesweeper Classic Wiki

Fun game. Works really well, but it really needs a restart button for when you accidentally hit something with your hand. So frustrating to have to start a completely new game.

I have been playing MinesweeperClassic forever. This game is and always will be a classic game. Some things don’t need to be changed!

Simple and entertaining brain exercise The only game that I play throughout many years.

Played for years, and continue to enjoy !

I’ve had this App on my devices for years and I always come back to it. IMO, it’s the best minesweeper for iOS because it’s so down to earth and - in the best sense - simple. I will amend my review to five stars as soon as the developers manage to fix that pesky bug that sometimes delays the posting of a flag, especially and mostly on the right side of the largest playing field.

This a faithful reproduction of the old Minesweeper that I used to play on early versions of Windows and, in terms of game play, works well. However, there is one problem with the game - the “Flag” button uses two shades of grey that are almost indistinguishable unless the light is right, and you are holding the device at the right angle - it is far too easy to blow up a game inadvertently by thinking you have tapped on the “Flag” button and not noticing that actually you didn’t. Why not two easily distinguishable colours, instead of two shades of grey. This loses the game two stars for me. And....ads, in a paid game? Really?

Really disappointed in the “flag” button. When you’re trying to go fast, I frequently end up not activating the flag button and inadvertently blowing up. Very frustrating. Has to be a better interface. Game was much better with a mouse!

I lose a lot of games because I think I’ve hit the “flag” button, but it doesn’t register. The button should turn RED when a player chooses to flag a square/squares, and should turn black when the flag is removed.

I bought this “pro” version because I hated the ads on the free versions, but this app has a pop up when you open it, as well as banner ads between games.

Please bring back the ability to rotate my screen and play in landscape. I find it uncomfortable to play the game now. The ability was fixed and then is stopped working again.

Love the game but would love to see the stats data fixed. I play hard games and like to keep track of my stats. The hard games register as medium games. Everything else is great

The gameplay in this version is the best out of all the versions I’ve tried in the App Store. However, ever since the iOS 14 update, I’ve discovered that the app reads whatever I have copied into the clipboard. Why does a classic game need to snoop on what I copy/paste? Also, I had to disable background app refresh for this game. Why does a classic, single-player game need to access the network? It doesn’t even support syncing high scores with iCloud, so it should never need access to the network or the contents of the system clipboard. I would give this game more stars if Maple Media was transparent about why they are collecting user data that this game doesn’t even need.

When I'm in the middle of a game and switch to a different app on my iPhone, unless I come back to the game within the hour or so, the game always blows up as soon as I get back to the game window. It can't seem to remember my spot even though I left the app open. Irritating.

It’s been nearly a year since this game was handed to a new developer and ruined. Appreciate that the developer has been responsive to feedback, but still in all that time, hasn’t been able to fix the basics— -new stats page still doesn’t work. Expert games play are counted in intermediate but expert games won are counted in expert -average time does not calculate correctly (currently looks like an average of my top three scores since the update) -flag button in the top right is still too hard to press -border around game often shows up incorrectly (have to open settings or switch to landscape to fix) -ads still occasionally appear on startup and are present in settings page ~~ Added ads to a PAID AD-FREE game. Still surprises me how this developer can find another way to ruin a classic PS Landscape mode doesn’t work now; as far as I can tell the update did not improve anything but added ads and removed functionality. Unbelievable and yet believable
