This app allows her an easy way to connect with friends when traveling to visit the grandkids. The interface speaks to every generation and is super easy to use. So excited to learn more, as this app seems to have it all! ### 5/5 — Obsessed - get this app *2026-07-30, version 1.1.3* This app brings so much joy and connection, and I’m floored by how user-friendly and intuitive it is… Not to mention the elegant yet whimsical aesthetic. I’m still pretty new to mahj, and I’m grateful for the space to explore/make mistakes and play with ppl at a similar level without pressure. At the same time, it’s super fun to connect with friends from all over in this way! BDC is such a value-add and I’m so excited to keep playing. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-30, version 1.1.3* Visually stunning and it's fun and easy to use! Finally a proper Mahjong app!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-27, version 1.1.3* Some feedback I have is when you close out the app, you lose the game with the AI table. Sometimes they take a while to play and I have to close it out because it’s like they never take their turn. ### 5/5 — Mahjong On Demand!! *2026-07-24, version 1.1.3* As someone who’s only started playing Mahjong in the last few years, this app fills a gap I didn’t even realize was missing. It lets me play anytime, which is perfect when there’s no one around to play. I love that I can try different hands, practice new strategies, and experiment without any pressure or consequences if I make a mistake. The app is easy to use, fun, and has become my go-to whenever I’m in the mood to play. It definitely scratches that Mahjong itch. It’s beautifully developed, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating it. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves the game! ### 5/5 — My new fav app *2026-07-22, version 1.1.3* Very easy to us and learn to play!! This is such a great way to stay engaged and learn new ways to play. The online community is growing and I’m so excited for more people to get to learn and meet new MJ planters! ### 5/5 — AMAZING app to practice and learn! *2026-07-10, version 1.1.3* I’ve been wanting to learn Mahjong and this app has been a really helpful way to practice playing at anytime and get ready to go live with my friends! ### 5/5 — halftime happiness *2026-07-06, version 1.1.3* I love having this app on my phone. I’ve been playing it between watching all the World Cup matches and I can get a round in during halftime. I love playing against the bots and the confetti at the end as the reward for getting mahjong! ### 5/5 — Favorite Mahj App! *2026-07-05, version 1.1.3* If you are looking for a mobile Mahjong game that respects the classic tradition while delivering a flawless modern experience, this app is an absolute masterpiece. As a new player to the game, this app allows me to practice my skills in a user friendly and beautiful way! This app is visually satisfying, allows for practice with bots or live games with friends! Way to go Bam Dot Crack!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI Game Freezes *2026-08-03, version 1.1.3* Tried two AI hands. Both times the app froze. Completely unrecoverable. Deleted the app. Will not download this again. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2026-07-29, version 1.1.3* I was so excited to try this, as I used to live in Charlotte, and the maker of the app is from the area. I could not upload a profile photo, couldn’t upload my 2026 card, and when I attempted to play my first game with bots, the bots never passed me my first Charleston. I’m so disappointed. I typically play online with I Love Mahj, and was hoping to find something a little better. I will give this a shot in a few days to see if this is just a glitch. ### 1/5 — Want to love it *2026-07-28, version 1.1.3* I really want to love this, it’s so beautiful but you can’t call without declaring mahjong, can’t sort your own tiles (only auto-sort), and it’s a little glitchy. Sometimes it won’t let you select a tile to drag and drop. Please fix and I’ll come back and play! ### 2/5 — Mixed *2026-08-12, version 1.1.3* I love the idea of this. But it seems to get hung up a lot for me. Either the AI bot never goes. Or the drawing of the tile seems to pause and never get going again. ### 2/5 — Very glitchy *2026-08-10, version 1.1.3* This app is glitchy. It freezes a lot. The sound randomly starts and stops and it doesn’t always let you play jokers when calling for flower tiles to make a pong etc. ### 3/5 — Nice interface *2026-08-04, version 1.1.3* Love the ability to reference my card via a photo I shared to the app. But like others I’m also experiencing buggy glitches while playing with bots. The time between plays makes it almost unplayable. Many minutes between hands. I tried the suggestion of card shuffling. Worked on one occasion but no such luck tonight Aug 3 at 11:30pm est. I realize you’re still new and getting the kinks worked out. Hoping it’s resolved soon because I see so much potential here!! ### 3/5 — Fun game, glitches need work *2026-07-29, version 1.1.3* I miss getting to play mahj with my friends in person, and this app is the fix to that!! The only issue is that it has some glitches. Some of the time during the Charleston, it glitches and shuffles all my cards, giving me different tiles, and finishing the Charleston automatically. I’m sure it’s an easy bug fix - hoping it so resolved soon. PS the GUI is super cute! ### 3/5 — S L O W…. *2026-07-29, version 1.1.3* I played this today after downloading and was really excited to be able to practice game play. In the evening, I tried to play again and it was taking soooo long for the bots to do the Charleston and discard tiles. I’m talking like 15 minutes between a pass. The only reason I kept trying was because I know it worked earlier today. Not sure why the server is having issues but hopefully it is just a small glitch ### 3/5 — Excited but having setup issues *2026-07-29, version 1.1.3* I’ve heard great things but the app is in a constant state of “thinking” when I upload my Mahjong card pictures and I can’t advance past that screen. Working on latest iOS on an iPhone 17 pro. ### 4/5 — Game freezes up *2026-08-03, version 1.1.3* I got this app several weeks ago to practice my very beginner skills. It is fun, fast, and - I am learning! But…almost every other day - it just completely freezes up in the middle of play - forcing an exit from the game. I have played maybe 70 games against the bots - and reported about 1/3 of the game freeze-ups. But…it is a little frustrating - especially if you think you were about to WIN! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful and user friendly app *2026-08-23, version 1.2.15* Finally someone has created a user friendly and aesthetic mahjong app! ### 5/5 — User friendly - nice design *2026-08-19, version 1.2.15* This is a very solid mahjong app it has a nice design and intuitive interface and also gives me the ability to play remotely with friends or randoms or bots so that no matter the time of day I’m never alone lol ### 5/5 — BEST AMERICAN MAHJONG APP *2026-08-19, version 1.2.15* this is the most beautiful and sophisticated mahjong app out there. tiles art is awesome and easy to read. i love that i can play with bots 🤖, other people on the app, or my friends 🫶. easy to access friends list 🔥. love seeing the leader board and comparing my stats to other players.
