However, many report significant issues with the display size—being either too small or too large—and limited zoom scaling options that make gameplay difficult.

I Like To Play The Og minesweeper Thank You So MUCH!

When I opened it, it wasn't even as big as an image for a phone screen, just a square without the whole grid. Didn't know how to fix that. Nothing for a full screen that I could see.

When I set the scale the zoom from 200 to 100 it makes it impossible to change the settings.
