Some layouts are simple and I always win, and some are so hard I've never won! And there's stricken to see available tiles - just touch a tile that's NOT open, and it shows you what is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating at times *2014-10-12* This game can be fun to play until the game gets stuck and won't let you select the correct match. Then it's frustrating! It can also do with getting a little challenging. Sometimes it's too easy. ### 3/5 — Fun to play but not perfect *2013-10-26* This game is fun to play, but lags quite a bit during actual gameplay. Sometimes the timer will keep running even after you pause the game. It would also be nice if you could unlock the additional puzzles after beating the first ones with three stars instead of having to pay- especially since there was no mention of having to pay for anything anywhere! ### 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???? ### 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‼️ ### 4/5 — Great Time Burner When Sleep Won't Come *2015-06-08* Easy to learn and challenging. I use it while I listen to books. My only complaint is sometime it kicks me out and starts over when I just want a shuffle. I race against my previous times and enjoy the change from solitaire or sudoko. ### 4/5 — Good playability *2013-11-29* Have played several of these on various platforms. Its always a bit like learning a new language (since it's roots are in pictograms), but this one seems a bit easier to learn. Enjoying it so far. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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! ### 5/5 — The best fun *2015-07-13* This is one of the best games because their are challenges with each game. Some may seem simple , while others throw you off by haven't you work harder by working the edges on the outside , others by working the edges on inside. Just when you think you know where you are going , you get stopped by realizing that some of the tiles are standing out. Luv the challenges of this game, one of the best I've found, never get tired of trying to figure out the game strategy. ### 5/5 — Best mahjong app I've found *2015-05-14* This is a beautiful game. Very basic, no options besides sound on/off. However, there's no reason to change the background or the tiles: they are designed in such a way as to feel almost tactile, cool as stone. The koi at the bottom of the screen adds just the right nuance for atmosphere. Why has no one hit on this before? I could not recommend this game more highly. ### 5/5 — 24.7 mahjong *2014-10-26* This is a great game for keeping your eye's moving. And it gives you help if you need it. Or if you get stuck you can change the tiles around with out costing you the game. Love it Rob ps found out that it costs you to move on and you can't find the missing games to finish off the first level. How can you move on to the next ones??? ### 5/5 — BEST MAHJONG *2014-10-03* I love playing this fresh version of Mahjong. The interface has a pleasing blue relaxing color and the sounds when you pair is just as one reviewer said, its like hitting the lottery! I just found all of the other plethora of developer apps they have for seasonal mahjong! My next app will be for Halloween! Thank you for the best version of Mahjong yet! I will delete the other mahjong games and replace them with these collections! ### 5/5 — Great way to pass time! *2014-08-29* I love this game! I always make sure I have my iPad with me so I can sneak in a game or two when I am out and sitting around. And I make sure I play at least a dozen games every night before I shut down! If I only knew how to beat my own time!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
