What's New in BamBuddies

1.1.77

July 16, 2026

New — Priority invites: group organizers can "star" their key players in a group so they get first crack at new game invites, with everyone else invited shortly after. Turn it on per group. Groups, front and center — we swapped the tabs so Groups is easier to reach. Smarter invites — when you text someone to invite them, we remember it and stop nagging you to reach out again. A gentle heads-up if you typed a player's name but forgot to add them before sending invites. Fewer unnecessary notifications from actions you took yourself. Faster answers with improved in-app help, plus behind-the-scenes fixes and polish.

So fun and easy!

I love being invited to mahjong games with this app! It’s so helpful to have all the details and who is coming in one place instead of scrolling through a bunch of texts.

Best app for mahj meetups!

I love this app! Once you set the game up if someone doesn’t respond it gives a gentle reminder. Great work developers - you thought of everything!
