Play Minesweeper on iPhone & iPad, Without the Ads!
Minesweeper is a classic, throwback PC game that provides hours of fun - plus this version has no Ads or Advertisements & is great for iPad!
30 years later and I still don’t know how to play
you're highly regarded
ah good old times
Somehow not as much fun if it’s not being played in the back of a school computer lab on windows 3.1.
Can you use Apple Pencil?
Last updated 5 years ago so expect to see it unsupported in future iOS versions. Still, free is free so get in and enjoy it while you can! Less than 30Mb to download so nice & lightweight, too.
once it's unsupported, you can always fall back on this pretty good google minesweeper:

How is it?
The best version of minesweeper ever was the launch version for Windows Phone 7, I sorely miss that version. It had a very simple red tiles, the touch responsiveness and accuracy was amazing, the red tiles all flipped over on a black background like the core OS theme, and it had no BS adventure game mode, which they eventually turned minesweeper into some disgusting semi adventure, missing the entire point of the game and losing the the simple and basic aesthetic that made it more like using a Rubik's cube than playing a baby version of kings quest. If course they ditched the initial version from the app store so when I change jobs I couldnt even get it. I bought a cheap phone just to play that game :(
I read the other day that Satya believes letting go of windows phone was one of if not his biggest mistake.
I would say HPs was dropping the Touchpad before launch because they saw… Wait for it…. Windows 8
It says with IAP, is it automatically ad-free once installed? No further steps to redeem or activate?
Yup
haven't seen any ads but app privacy report showed the following domains, thus plenty of tracking (as shown on app store listing) uninstalled as I don't need this
app-measurement.com
play.googleapis.com
ads.mopub.com
device-provisioning.googleapis.com
onesignal.com
inappcheck.itunes.apple.com
Its coming up as $15 to subscribe to pro version on my end as IAP
Same. Expired?
Mine still has ads.
Doesn't work - asks you to pay $14.99 a year to subscribe.
They pushed an update late overnight that removed the FREE PRO and turned it into a yearly subscription with IAP tracking. Cannot redeem previous purchases back to Pro.
Removed the App
Yep… Came here to complain too. uninstalled. Dodgy trick.
I just filed a complaint on app support for fraudulent claims about product functionality. To file a complaint you use the “app support” button on the apps store page. This type of complaint goes to apple.
Same experience here. Bait and switch. Terrible practice. I have also deleted the app.
The pro version is no longer free and is a paid subscription.
The app has 2 updates in the log, 5 years ago, and 1 that was 9 hours ago from posting this comment.
I suspect the update 9 hours ago was the one that changed the pro version to subscription based.
Same. Feel like being scammed :(
Don't sweat the small stuff… just delete the app and get on with your life.
Just turned into adware, removed app and un-up-voted.
Now the app has ad wth

Thank you OP! Trip down memory lane, pretty sure this is good for the brain?
