### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2017-07-30*

I love this MahJong game! It has tons of layouts, & none of them is just easy peasy. The only thing I'm concerned about is that I keep getting notices on my iPhone that this game will not function on IOS 11 without an update! Pls, pls update this great game!! Thanks!

### 4/5 — Great game!!!

*2017-06-21*

I played Mahjong online about 15 years ago and was looking for THAT version, when I came across Mahjong 24/7 and so far it's been good. 
I had several problems with Hollow (Starter chest) not retiling but other than that one it's a great app.
I've played well over 30 games in the starter chest but it won't go past 16/30!!! Why????

### 3/5 — Frustrating but okay time waster

*2017-06-04*

There are a number of bugs with this game, and not enough information provided in some areas. Sometimes when you need to shuffle the tiles the entire board resets and the timer keeps running. Frustrating. Also there is no mention of how to unlock the next set of boards. This game is just okay, not the best mahjong I've played for free online.

### 5/5 — Exciting Game

*2017-05-23*

I really like this game.  You have to think while playing the
Game.  Your concentration is on the game and being able to solve on your first round.  Very challenging game!!

### 4/5 — MAHJONG 24.7

*2017-02-28*

This is indeed very addictive. Tile images are clear and easy to match‼  I have one suggestion ~ give an explanation of what the stars mean and the ratings below the chests.  Lack of instructions forced me to give 4**** instead of 5*****🤗  Otherwise it is a great game‼️

### 3/5 — Not free

*2017-01-26*

You can only play a few games then you have to start paying.  Don't say free when it's not. While you are playing if you come to where there is no more matches, you can click shuffle, but I had several times it would start my games over but the time kept going.  That bug differently needs fixing.

### 2/5 — Frustrating game

*2016-05-22*

This game was fun to start with but has become very frustrating. You only get 12 boards to start with and you have to get 3 stars on ALL of them before you can open the next set. It can become quite boring when you have to keep playing the same 3 boards over and over again because you can only get 2 stars on them. I am ready to quit and look for a different mah Jong game to download!

### 5/5 — Perfect. Nothing annoying.

*2016-01-11*

I have so far played four games, and haven't been bothered with ads or a need to buy something. As  far as I can tell, it is perfect. Beautiful, too.

### 5/5 — A senior likes

*2015-09-11*

This is great for seniors who need to keep their minds working. Graphics are large and bright, you can take your time. Love this game. Want more that don't keep shutting me down.

### 5/5 — Mahjong 24/7 AD FREE

*2015-09-02*

I really am hooked on just about,any Mahjong game. but this one takes the cake!   It's obsessive, because when returning to it and finding no stars lit, it's absolutely a given you'll drop everything and go into getting at least one star lit.   Fantastic, frustrating and fabulous!
