### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-01-14, version 3.1*

It gets addictive

### 2/5 — Was great

*2023-05-21*

I have had this game for a long time.  I finally decided that I really couldn’t get more from it so I reset the whole thing.  What a mistake!  I can’t get rid of the sound; settings doesn’t allow total silence.  The coloring has changed so it’s harder to find matching tiles.  I used to love this game and have never found any as good as this one was.  Now there’s nothing.

### 4/5 — Great app, but without iCloud support

*2023-02-12, version 3.1*

I love enjoying it, but sadly, I not happy with the lack of iCloud saving or support for being worse. Let me know when you need help updating.

### 5/5 — Great competitive game

*2020-06-08*

My wife and I play against each other and we keep score of who beats.  We have gone through all sets a dozen times and it seems they get more difficult each time we go through them.  We have a lot of fun harassing each other.

### 5/5 — Love Love Love

*2020-05-24*

This is my favorite Mahjong game!  It is absolutely addictive but in a good way!

### 2/5 — Ad machine

*2020-03-14*

Ads between all levels stop play.

### 5/5 — Really enjoying

*2019-09-08*

Cool tile sets...great playing action. Many hours of mahjong action ahead. Very happy with purchase 👌

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-06-07*

Has helped with memory, hand and eye coordination and it’s just fun! I love to play it with little ones, it’s a game for all ages!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-04-29, version 3.1*

Have had this game for  3+ years, upgraded to unlock the full version and play it regularly, I started off by giving myself 5 mins to complete every one, those I couldn’t I went back to until I did.  Once I completed them all I just cleared it and started again, I love games that require thought/speed so this keeps me amused.  I am now on 3 mins or under to complete them.

### 4/5 — Jan

*2019-03-10, version 3.1*

I really love playing this version of mahjong I bought the regular puzzles as I completed all the others I don't think it's worth £4.99 just for that section.  The only problem with this game is there aren't enough puzzles as I could go on playing and playing I have tried others but most of then highlight the free tiles but I prefer to find them for myself

### 5/5 — Favorite Mahjong app

*2019-03-07*

I tried several Mahjong apps before finding this one.  I finally purchased so I can play without all the annoying ads.  Love the variety of boards to choose from.

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2019-03-04*

After a stressful day, playing this particular mahjong game relaxes me.

### 5/5 — Mahjong

### 4/5 — Mah jong

### 5/5 — Mah Jong

*2018-12-02, version 3.1*

I am addicted to mahjong.  I love love it.

### 5/5 — Best Mahjong ever!

*2018-10-28*

I love this game! This is so much better than the free version. Lots of different sets and allows me to try to beat my own time. No ads and all games are unlocked.

### 5/5 — 1001 Mahjong

Great mental workout. Getting better as getting older. LiG.

*2018-01-28*

I absolutely love this game! Great way to pass time & have fun doing it :) Definitely worth paying for the deluxe version. No issues & No regrets in the 4 or 5 years that I've owned this game. I would most certainly recommend to EVERYONE!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No rating

*2019-09-22, version 3.1*

I’ve been playing this particular game for 4 years. Keeping my stats and with each time I finish my 1000 puzzles, I give myself a “new personal best” score to reach. I am so upset. Opened game tonight? EVERYTHING GONE!!!!! EVERYTHING! All my scores, the games completed, ZERO STATS. I want them back. This is important to me because this is an age and dexterity program (I know it’s a game).  But it helps, truly helps as a brain game. All the backgrounds changed as well.  They are ugly. I hate the darkness surrounding the tiles. PLEASE FIX THIS. You are all “app creators”.  Pretty sure there’s at least one smart person who can restore my game.

### 1/5 — Used to be amazing

*2018-02-10, version 3.1*

Something changed about 3 or 4 days ago, my app crashes on load time after time, I can’t even get it to load which makes me sad. This was a favorite game, and I bought it, and now it is garbage :(

### 1/5 — Ms

*2017-07-20, version 3.0*

Locked out of boards...went back and bought the app again...still locked out.
Totally frustrated...this had been my favorite game on two iPads and my goto entertainment!!!
7/20/17...still locked out even after game provider company changed AND  paid $0.99 and all app updates applied...also no game store options yet.  Beyond frustrating!

### 1/5 — Mahjong

*2017-06-22, version 2.9.9*

Very disappointed. Bought the version so I would stop getting the videos on the free version. 
The new version highlights are backwards and very hard to see. Would have not purchased it if I new.

### 1/5 — Bug in game

*2016-04-25, version 1.1.5*

Was loving the game. Then after playing over 100 games, the next one comes up with a frozen screen where the top lit up tiles do not respond at all. Please fix this bug. It was my favorite Mahjong matching game until this happened and now it's useless.

### 1/5 — **NOT a Mahjong puzzle

*2015-09-15, version 1.1.1*

This implementation of Mahjong does not generate solvable puzzles.  I quickly discovered this once I played some of the smaller tile set arrangements. Consequently, there isn't any true challenge in this App. Pretty disappointing to realize there is no way to exercise any skill with this one.

This explains why it's always reshuffling when you reach a "dead end" with tile matching. It's not done to "help" you continue because you accidentally have become stuck...it's because it is a necessary function of this App if you are to ever try and "complete" one. You could undo all you want but you'll reach a dead end irregardless of any attempts at skill mixed in with chance, unless the random generator it employs just happens, by chance, to throw out the tiles in such a way that there is a true solution to find. But don't count on it, since it's not programmed to make one.

A puzzle is something with a solution that one tries to figure out. You may feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle with this, when in fact, you're just matching however many tiles you can, then it reshuffles so you can start matching again. Save not just your money, but also the wasted effort of trying to figure anything out. Find a true Mahjong puzzle elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2015-07-22, version 1.1.1*

Full of bugs, game regularly stops saying 'no more moves' when there clearly are more moves to make, very annoying.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2014-10-29, version 1.0*

I played this game and it keeps crashing after every other game!!!! Very frustrating update needed or I will be after a refund!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Could be much better

*2014-10-11, version 1.0*

Latest download is very buggy and crashes at almost every game. I deleted it so therefore an not getting what I paid for. Crashed my music when I stopped playing, screen won't rotate, no idea how many 'achievements' there are. Until these things are resolved I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. There are lots of similar games out there. Pick one.

### 1/5 — Freeze

*2014-10-09, version 1.0*

This app constantly freezes and crashes making it useless.
