Mineswifter Lite (Minesweeper)

This app saved my marriage

Please for the love of god just slightly increase the amount you can zoom out; in medium games you can zoom out perfectly to the point of 1 column missing on the left or right. That column being perfectly out of sight has ruined so many of my perfect streaks because I thought there were no more tiles in that direction.

I’ve played a few different versions of Mine Sweeper and this is probably the best. It’s so much more satisfying when you finish a game because you figure out the pattern instead of being on the lucky side of a 50/50. There are a couple of things that I wish it did better though. First, I like that it vibrates when I hold it to place a mine, that small haptic feedback is very important, but I don’t like that every time I tap on a square, even if it’s just to move around it vibrates. Also, this is small, but I wish it had a more classic Mine Sweeper color scheme option. Aside from those it is the best Mine Sweeper I’ve found.

Love the daily challenge and I only see ads when I play the difficulty over and over. I only play the daily and it’s perfect.

I downloaded Mineswifter specifically because the App Store and the dev said it was ad-free, but ads play whenever I open a new game. Would have otherwise been 5 stars if it actually WAS ad-free, but the bait-and-switch drops my rating severely.

At last solvable minesweeper. I am pleased. Thank you.

No ads, no unnecessary purchases, and the penalty system allows for learning while also providing a reasonable penalty that still pressures the player to sweep quickly AND perfectly.

Sleekest design, good daily challenges

I love the app! It’s super sleek and looks great, especially on dark mode. It works great and I’ve had no issues. Two suggestions, however. Provide an option to disable the “undo” button and just end the game immediately. Second, a feature where you can create a custom board size and mine count.

The guess free function doesn’t work perfectly but it’s pretty good. I enjoy this game.
