Speaker not following sound preferences

The new ad model makes this game not desirable as you can not set speaker volume for ads
Too many ads
sheltiewoman
I was willing to put up with the ads because it was a reasonably decent version of the game, despite some glaring bugs. But the ads have become too obnoxious. Time to find a better app.
Harassment for ad free purchase.

This used to be a great game. Just recently they changed it so that you have to say no to buying ad free game after practically every game. The ads never bothered me, but this forcing of asking to pay for ad free after about every game is really annoying. I can’t find any where to turn it off. I am sure there are other mine sweeper copycats that don’t do this. I’ve had this game and enjoyed it for several years, but now it is so annoying that I am starting to look for other games to replace these beggars for money. If they are that hard up for money, they will probably be dropping off the app site anyway, so it is probably prudent to start looking for a developer that is not on the verge of bankruptcy or going out of business. This is the only conclusion or opinion that I can draw from this change in behavior. In addition to this they also turned on a function that asks if you want to pay for hints after practically every game too. What other conclusion can you come to? Maybe they bought a 300 foot yacht and need to pay for it. Us minimum wage people don’t have much sympathy for that either. Annoying to the point of harassment.
Amazingly simple and wonderful!

I love the design and the simplicity. Graphics are not harsh on eyes and no need to inconveniently scroll the field on higher difficulties. Great Minesweeper app for idevices.
Best minesweeper app

Best minesweeper app in the app store, I love all the features. This app should cost $$$&
Not Accurate
BlackWax
I've played minesweeper for over 10 years and I love the original game. This app is nice BUT IT IS NOT ACCURATE! Out of first 4 games I played, 3 had mistakes in them. Come on, why would there be a cell labeled "1" on the field with NO mines nearby. Another example is a separately standing mine. If there are no mines nearby, it should be surrounded only by cells labeled "1". The very last game I played had this type of mine surrounded by "1s" and a single "2" cell which did not have ANY sense. Sorry, but i cannot give more than 2 stars for the game that has mistakes In it's very core making it unplayable.
Buggy

This is way to buggy to play. Often the number, 5, for example, is not touching 5 mines.
Good interface, but . . .
CrimDefenseLawyer
Just about game I have played so far has errors. Numbers do not accurately reflect number of mines in surrounding squares. Turns a well-known classic time waster into a frustrating, not so fun annoyance.
This is from the developer

For some complaints about inaccurate squares, please read the last section of the description carefully. We tested the game with much care before releasing, to be sure that you have the best experience. The reason that some of you think some squares having wrong number of surrounding mines is because those squares are on the edge of the visible board on the screen but not on the edge of the real one, hence you did not see other blank squares around them. By using preview mode or dragging the board around, you could easily see the issue. Please, drop us an email telling about the problem to be sure that we deserve a 1 star or bad reviews. We are always happy to give discussions or support. SkyPaw Team
Work perfectly

I love this classic game and this app is the best Minesweeper in the store! Beautiful graphic and fast movement! Don't know why some people complain about it accuracy? Look at the mine numbers on the top to see do you still have mines unflagged before thinking that numbers on cells are wrong calculated!!!!
