I know my 2019 card better, using this app for just TWO DAYS, than I did after 3 or 4 months by just playing a couple of times a month. ### 5/5 — passes tiles you didnt pass! *2026-08-23, version 10.1.5* very irritating- this app passes tiles you didn’t touch this has happened several times ### 5/5 — 2020 Version *2026-08-22, version 10.1.5* 2020 version does not list entire card on the pattern section. Need to fix please ### 5/5 — Great for practice *2026-08-22, version 10.1.5* I have been practicing playing with this app for a couple of years now and it really helps me sharpen my skills. I play the challenge game every morning and enjoy comparing my score on the leaderboard results. It's great to see what other players have tried and will often replay the game again using the other players strategies. I like how the practice mode has two different visuals for suggestions as well. ### 5/5 — Good learning tool for beginners *2026-08-21, version 10.1.5* This app has been a great way to reinforce lessons learned the hard way when playing face to face. Thoroughly enjoyable, even though I lose lots! ### 5/5 — Real American Mahjong *2026-08-21, version 10.1.5* Great tool for practicing ### 5/5 — Helpful for a newbie! *2026-08-21, version 10.1.6* Great for reps. Helps me feel like I am starting to understand the course of play. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2026-08-21, version 10.1.6* Terrific tool to learn. Reviews hands and options.

Hehehe ### 5/5 — Hurry with 2020 *2026-08-13, version 10.1.4* Can’t go play, hurry with 2020 so I don’t go crazy while social distancing ### 5/5 — Learning Tool for Mahjong *2026-08-12, version 10.1.4* It's teaching me the way to win and how jokers may be used. ### 5/5 — Great practice tool *2026-08-10, version 10.1.4* Great app! ### 4/5 — Great tool for practice *2026-08-09, version 10.1.4* This is really helpful for building confidence for newbies and helping learning. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for beginners *2026-08-03, version 10.1.4* This app has a instant paywall for the 2026 (edition ). There is a 2018 version for free. However when you open it, it assumes you know how to play. Tells you to pick 3 tiles from your “hand” and drag one off. But no explanation of what are the objectives…or how the suits are made up. Wouldn’t be good for someone who is just learning. As Im just learning, Im deleting and choosing another app ### 1/5 — Enjoy *2026-06-23, version 10.1.1* Good way to practice ### 1/5 — app doesn’t open game !!!!! *2026-05-19, version 10.0.26* diwnloaded today from Apple Store. App is in landscape mode which i don’t like. App won’t open a game. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Not a mahjong *2026-02-26, version 9.52* I have a screen shot of an incorrect Mahjong declaration by the bots. This is the second time in the last two weeks. ### 1/5 — Froze up my iPhone *2025-10-09, version 9.21* I tried the 2017 card to see if I wanted to buy and it froze my phone up each time. Each time I had T powder down my iPhone 15Promax just to get my phone in frozen. Won’t be buying. ### 1/5 — Several glitches *2025-04-12, version 9.5* Ex. You can call a tile, show it on your rack and then hit “undo your rack” which allows cheating because it allows you to pick up a tile without having to show it. So while undo rack is a deliberate feature its execution is flawed because it allows you to pick up a tile and not show it. Developers should tweak the program to fix this. ### 1/5 — Full description of plays missing or not obvious *2025-04-05, version 9.2* Can’t read full description of plays, there’s an ellipsis but how see end of sentence. ### 1/5 — Unable to cancel *2025-02-26, version 8.28* I tried this app but have been unable to cancel using their instructions ### 1/5 — Not Free *2024-04-06, version 8.4* No where in the description of this app does it say that this is a subscription game until you install it and try to play. This should be made clear before install. Very disappointed as I thought this would be a good way to practice the new card, but I’m not paying a monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-11-09, version 7.26* Just awful ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Learning Tool *2026-08-27, version 10.1.6* Worth the $$$. ### 5/5 — Improved play *2026-08-26, version 10.1.6* Since I have been using this app, my play, choices and pivots have become more intentional. It’s great practice. I have been playing a little over a year and winning has become more regular. ### 5/5 — Really learning *2026-08-25, version 10.1.6* Love this practice ### 5/5 — Worth the money *2026-08-25, version 10.1.6* Great app for learning the card.
