The only couple of issues is the resort button really needs to be less of an easy target or have a “Do you want to do this” secondary question as it is way too easy to accidentally hit. Smaller issue is the Congratulations on winning fonts are really not in keeping with how great the game looks. On the plus. There are no exploding stars everywhere like many games are so fond of. ### 2/5 — Mah *2025-01-22, version 2.3* Pop ups for other game downloads constantly!! ### 4/5 — ALMOST Perfect… *2024-12-27, version 2.3* This is my favorite Mahjong game, but I do have one minor complaint: when tapping a tile in the upper left hand corner, it reshuffles the tiles, even when the tile is not all that close to the shuffle icon. Please fix that! Otherwise, it’s a great app! ### 3/5 — Error *2024-07-16, version 2.2* Hi, in the subscription version some layouts auto reshuffle part way through the game ever when there are still moves available. Would be great if available moves where also indicated, as is done on the other version that has advertisements. Janet ### 3/5 — Beautiful Mahjong *2024-04-25, version 2.0.1* App itself is OK but ads after every game are damned annoying. ### 2/5 — Lästige Werbung nach JEDEM Spiel *2024-02-11* Hier geht die Werbung zu weit!! Direkt zweimal hintereinander nach jedem Spiel die Aufforderung, andere Spiele zu installieren. Direkt wieder gelöscht!! ### 3/5 — Difficult to See *2024-01-16* It is very difficult to see the different layers in the tile layout which makes completing the game difficult. This is a real issue on the iPhone with a small screen. Otherwise it is a nice game but it needs some work. ### 2/5 — Beautiful but not convinced… *2023-12-13, version 1.7* There is no way to shut off the sounds, that I can find. So annoying. I might have to delete it and try some other one. There are others that are not AS graphically beautiful, but at least you can shut off the annoying clicking and other sounds. Please add that option. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Wish you could turn off sound *2023-11-10, version 1.7* Everything about this app is so great, I love that you can customize the tiles and the background and I love that there aren’t a lot of ads. But I am disappointed that you can’t turn off the sound. ### 3/5 — Great game, shame about the ads *2023-09-24, version 1.7* Lovely game to play, tiles look very real and a selection of layouts to play. Every time you complete a game you get a random person telling you how great the game they’re trying to get you to download is - because it’s ad free. Don’t they get irony?!? ### 1/5 — A. House of mahjong cards. *2023-07-25* Great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Concerning update *2024-05-27, version 2.0.1* Your latest update has done nothing but screw up ### 1/5 — Unplayable until the reset tiles hot spot is reduced! *2024-03-23, version 2.0.1* The hot spot for the “reset tiles” icon on the top left is too big, which means that in some of the layouts, when you select the tile in the top left hand corner, you inadvertently cause the tiles to be reset mid-game. This is frustrating to the point where the game is unplayable until this is fixed. I am playing on iPad. It would be a 5 star experience otherwise. ### 1/5 — Added a Subscription to remove ads *2024-03-10, version 2.0* They added a monthly subscription? I do not do subscriptions. I either buy once or not at all. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Difficult to See *2024-02-20, version 1.8* It is very difficult to see the different layers in the tile layout which makes completing the game difficult. This is a real issue on the iPhone with a small screen. And if you large fingers, just forget about this game as your "touch" will not be accurate and it becomes very difficult to touch the correct tile. ### 1/5 — Ad takeover *2024-01-09, version 1.7* Eventually the ads take over and you can’t play anymore. I would purchase the game outright, but there’s no option to do that. ### 1/5 — SCAM SCAM SCAM *2023-10-30, version 1.7* This app and similar ones by this “DOGMELON” creep are all scams. First of all, this is not designed as a game. The sole purpose of this download is to bombard you with repetitive ads with the hopes that you’ll click on one, so they can make money, and this is after every…single…game. So, the game is designed to cheat in order for it to end faster, so they can blast you with yet another ad. The ads are loud and obnoxious on every level. If you want to play Mahjong, buy from a reputable programmer, not con artists like these. ### 1/5 — Has adverts *2023-10-21, version 1.7* false reviews say no ads. ### 1/5 — Recent changes.. *2023-10-19, version 1.7* Recently, the app has been ‘updated’ a few times. Each time it has been made worse for the sake of greed. Adding in more places for ads to pop up. The latest update has ruined it completely, and now I’m off to find a different mahjong. The RNG of the tiles has been altered such that you essentially never win. I know this game well, and there is no way this hasn’t occurred. You can see the very deliberate way the tiles are placed to ensure that you can rarely match them all. I lost twenty games in a row just now. Before the latest update I win more often than I lost. A sad shame. Greed kills all mobile games dead in the end. ### 1/5 — Loved it until *2023-08-31, version 1.7* I used to really enjoy this game even though it has adverts. They weren’t too bad as they were only ever after I’d played two or three games. However, they’re now after every game! I’ve decided to delete the game! ### 1/5 — No ads? *2023-07-26, version 1.6* Wrong! Another good game spoilt by ads! Why not offer an ad free version at a reasonable cost? Personally, I fail to see what the advertiser gets out of the deal as I am yet to find anyone who watches them - ad blindness is a thing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it. *2025-05-09, version 2.3* Perfect. Quiet. Simple. Beautiful. ### 5/5 — Don't pass this up *2025-03-19, version 2.3* This has been the best Mahjong that I've played. I like the different types of boards that are offered.i wish their were more. ### 5/5 — Great game—lose the flash! *2024-02-01, version 1.8* I really like this game. It is clean and simple and quite relaxing to play. The 3D effects are very helpful for easily telling which tiles are available. BUT, this lates release in Jan 2024 has, for some unknown reason, added a bright white flash that happens each time a board is loaded or closed. For folks like me on night mode, it is jarring and makes me want to stop playing. Please get rid of it! Thanks ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2023-10-14, version 1.7* So good to discover a game that isn’t ruined by adverts or constantly trying to take money. Kept simple and pure to the actual game, perfectly authentic. This is a rare find, the developers are to be congratulated! ### 5/5 — satisfying *2023-08-30, version 1.7* maybe finishing game with timing(best) or perhaps a reward like the fireworks in earlier version , ### 5/5 — Prima Zeitvertreib *2023-08-13* Funktioniert stabil. Während des Spiels keine Störungen durch Werbung. Keine Geldgelüste. Vorschlag: einen wahlweise aktivierbaren Zeitmesser einbauen. ### 5/5 — A. House of mahjong cards. *2023-08-12, version 1.6* Great…. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2023-08-03, version 1.6* Super ! ### 5/5 — Adictive *2023-07-30, version 1.6* This is so much fun! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-07-13, version 1.6* Epic game when you want to relax and take your mind of things --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
