Great Mahjong app

This is a fantastic Riichi Mahjong app. Great tutorials and game play. Really well designed u/i and very stable. 5/5

Amazing, Honest App

The developer is clearly a lover of riichi Mahjong, as this app is clearly a high quality Labour of love.

Excellent Rulesets and sheets, always accessible at any point in the game or in tutorials, makes it very easy to learn and apply rules.

Excellent and thorough tutorials.

Not a single ad.

Simple and clean interface. It might be a little basic but it’s no frills, everything and every available action is made clear.

Some graphical style. Calling certain game actions is still satisfying, with some nice effects when you get a Ron, or call a chi.

Runs smoothly, and no bugs.

Seamless, easy multiplayer. Creating a match is as simple as creating a room with a name and having others join it by putting in the name of that room. The net code runs smoothly and I never have noticed any bugs.

All this makes the app perfect for learning mahjong as well as just playing it casually with others. As it’s free and easy to set up for multiplayer you can easily convince others to download it for.

Faulty

I have downloaded this game multiple times because it has glitches. I had high games between 8 and 9 million points. But since then the game times out right around 4 million points. The keys stop working and a screen pops up that says ‘couldn’t load the saved game’ and ‘Oh no! The save file did not contain a valid mahjong game.’ ‘Try starting a new game instead.’
I don’t want to keep starting over! Kinda lousy.

A beautiful app.

The computer players have a good level of challenge, the tutorial is well-written, the online multiplayer doesn’t have any active games yet but as the app becomes more popular that will change.

bad

this used to be a good app but the powers don't work anymore and there is a bug with it telling you you are in furi ten when you're not

Great and true to form

I was introduced to mahjong through the Yakuza games, and have been hooked since. My only complaint is that they don’t have the markers for Riichi after it’s been called by anyone, but other than that, it’s an absolute comfort game with a bit of risk and a lot of complexity that anyone into intuitive gambling games could appreciate.

It works but…

It’s a bit jank. Too much focus on silly things like table flipping and not enough on UX. My biggest issue is it’s too hard to see tiles, they are too small on the screen and when you zoom, it doesn’t stay zoomed in. Permanent camera control would improve my rating significantly. I do like some things like how setup is shown, double tap to select tile, and the transparent scoring. Ups and downs, i bet this could rival PC/web clients if it it was a bit more focused on usability.

True to Japan

I’ve played dozens of times in Japan but this was the first app that helped me learn some of the things that had always been lost in translation because as you probably know much of the words are Chinese, even in Japan, so they have a hard time explaining why they score things the way they do. Anyway, just about my favorite app ever.

Goof game

I ron :D

Great app

I like that the opponent difficulty can be changed, other apps are lacking this feature.

Would be nice to have a 3 player mode similar to Tenhou Online.
