Very annoying! ### 2/5 — Long ads *2026-08-27, version 0.0.99* Have decided not to play this game for quite awhile until they get control of the ads they allow. Too many of them run far too long and I would rather be playing f the game than waiting for an ad to complete. Tic toc is one but there are others. ### 2/5 — Annoying ad after every game *2026-08-25, version 0.0.97* It was great through the first level. Then after every game it made me download a different Mahjong game. Could not return to the game. Had to kill the app and start again after every game. ### 2/5 — Cccc *2026-08-22, version 0.0.97* You did not let me finish with the other 3 stars ### 3/5 — Highly annoying ad *2026-08-14, version 0.0.97* There is an ad that keeps popping up that says this game is obsolete and can’t be supported any longer and then the ad is almost impossible to delete. I’m satisfied with the current game and don’t want to start another version but the new game advertised is very annoying as it’s very difficult to delete and therefore I will NEVER upload it regardless if this game goes away or not. I just want this annoying ad to disappear. Make it happen. Don’t send me a msg requesting more info just make it happen or I won’t continue to play this version of the game. I assume the email or msg I get to be a stalling tactic so if I get one I will take measures to download another version of mahjong in hopes they don’t let this annoying ad pop up on it. Fair warning!!! ### 5/5 — Arcadia Mahjong *2026-08-09, version 0.0.97* Now this is a brilliant I mean, brilliant game. Yes. ### 5/5 — Mahjong- as I have a good time going along! *2026-08-07, version 0.0.97* Like the sound of crunchy Tiles. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-06, version 0.0.97* Easy to play. Love playing this game ### 2/5 — Ads are annoying and plentiful *2026-08-04, version 0.0.97* When I downloaded the game and played for the first time it was great and fun. There were no ads, just the game. I really enjoyed it, but then when I opened the app and played the next time, an ad banner opened at the bottom of screen and moves, very distracting! Then after every game you play, a full page ad for another game pops up on the screen and you can’t get out of it for minutes. Incredibly annoying!! I will end deleting the app. So disappointed! ### 2/5 — Not worth your time *2026-08-03, version 0.0.97* Intrusive advertising after each level that never ends. You have to close and open the game again. Some unscrupulous developers. I'm deleting it to hell! ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-07-31, version 0.0.96* Good: I enjoyed the larger tiles and the levels engaged me and not too difficult. After a few levels of play ads starting appearing after each game. I’ll look for a different Mahjong game. ### 5/5 — Dorothy Blair Sity is nickname *2026-07-31, version 0.0.96* Love this game give me more games like that please ### 5/5 — Old lady *2026-07-29, version 0.0.96* Brain is great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 麻雀 *2026-08-30* 麻雀消しゲームはやりたくないのです ### 1/5 — Be warned *2026-08-29, version 0.0.99* Downloaded not seeing the “in-app purchases” tag, figuring it wouldn’t be bombarded with ads. Began playing, made it up to over 30 levels without ONE AD! I thought “great!” Started to play next day, boom. Ads after every level No thanks. *DELETE APP* ### 1/5 — WAS a Great Game *2026-08-16, version 0.0.97* Used to love this game. But now, there are so many ads you can’t even play the game anymore. Used to be ads between levels - that was ok. Now they have pop up video ads in the middle of game play. So frequently, that it’s no longer worth playing. I’m going to leave it idle for a bit and see if they fix this, if not, I’m deleting it. ### 1/5 — traitor *2026-08-12, version 0.0.97* tricks you into thinking it doesn’t have ads and then adds them in after level 10. i’m betrayed. i’m distraught. How dare you ### 1/5 — Play for a minute, hijacked by ads! *2026-08-11, version 0.0.97* Starts out fine. Then, ads, ads, ads, ads! Good bye. ### 1/5 — Werbefrei ist gelogen *2026-08-08* Das Spiel hat anfangs Spaß gemacht und ich hab mich schon sehr gefreut, dass es keine Werbung gibt, aber nach ungefähr einem Tag spielen kam dann immer mehr Werbung zwischendurch und somit hab ich das Spiel wieder gelöscht. Es ist so schade, dass es nicht einmal eins gibt, wo auf diese blöde Werbung verzichtet wird. ### 1/5 — Werbung *2026-08-05* Ab Level 30 wirst du mit Werbung so zu geballert, das es keinen Spaß mehr macht. Es läuft immer ein Werbebanner und dann kommt nach jedem Spiel zusätzliche Werbung. Ohne Werbung heißt ohne Werbung! Habe die App gleich wieder deinstalliert. ### 1/5 — Toooooo many ads *2026-07-12, version 0.0.96* Can’t enjoy game. Hate it. ### 1/5 — Rotation *2026-05-29, version 0.0.93* This app doesn’t allow for rotation of the iPad. Loaded and deleted within 30 minutes ### 1/5 — Won’t download *2026-05-17, version 0.0.91* Tried twice it wouldn’t download ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2026-08-31, version 0.0.99* Easy to use, addictive to play. Good sounds and music. Just make sure you take a break every 20-30 minutes to give your eyes a rest. ### 5/5 — Angel painter *2026-08-31, version 0.0.99* Fun and fast the cards are easy to read! ### 5/5 — I love every minute *2026-08-28, version 0.0.99* Fantastic Game ### 5/5 — Neia *2026-08-27* 10 ### 5/5 — Arcadia Mahjong *2026-08-22, version 0.0.97* Fun to play ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-21, version 0.0.97* Good game no commercials ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-20, version 0.0.97* Challenge to play ### 5/5 — Arcadia *2026-08-18, version 0.0.97* Great ### 5/5 — Mentally relaxing, let’s me relax my brain *2026-08-14, version 0.0.97* 5 Stars ### 5/5 — Good so far *2026-08-13, version 0.0.97* So far able to play without ads!
