Minesweeper Classic 13+

Brain Candy (for those w/small to med sized brains)

Easy to learn and for some to master. Inexpensive, low tech game. I love Minesweeper! When I need a little stress breaker, I play Minesweeper. When I need to cool down,I play Minesweeper. When I feel I just need to exercise my brain, I play Minesweeper.
Competing with myself, I try to break my time record every time I play.
Oh heck, I just like playing Minesweeper.
Hope you will, too.

Latest version complete scam

New update is just an ad for $9.99/mo subscription service even though this was already a paid app. Unbelievable how unethical Maple Media is

~~

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

Dishonest App Developer

I paid for this app in 2010, and now the developer has converted it into an ad-filled cesspool with a subscription fee of $9.99 per year.

On top of that, the app is now buggy, whereas it used to function flawlessly. Attempting to place flags on squares often causes nearby existing flags to turn into question marks, making it likely that you activate a mine rather than flag it. So basically, the paid app was loaded with bugs and then converted to a subscription model.

I strongly encourage anyone reading this to avoid downloading any app from this developer, especially one with a “one-time” fee. I hope this developer’s money grab for an already-paid-for app backfires on them magnificently and causes them to lose future subscribers.
