I just started to play Mahjong and downloaded several apps to learn. I found this one to be the easiest and most intuitive. I taught myself the basics in 1 day. I think it’s because the yearly card is on the screen when you play. I have a lot to learn and I haven’t had the opportunity to play with people yet but until then I’m having lots of fun playing alone on my iPad. I had a question re: the subscription costs. They answered me within a day. The only negative is that I can’t stop playing the game!
