### 1/5 — Don’t bother unless you have old iPhone!

*2025-08-10*

Artex hasn’t bothered to update this app to accommodate the Notch that has plagued iPhones for EIGHT YEARS now! This game can only be played with a horizontal screen so any icon that comes in on the side where the Notch is, can’t be completely seen so the game is obsolete unless you have an old iPhone!

### 1/5 — Still hasn’t addressed the Notch

*2025-04-02*

I would give this game 4-5 stars if the view of the board wasn’t obstructed - but - it’s been SIX YEARS since the notch came out and none of the Artex Mahjong 3D games have addressed this yet. 
The game can only be played horizontally and the tiles that need to be matched come out on the left and right edges - because of this, it screws with how much you can see because at least half of the tiles on one side are covered by the notch. With less than half the tile visible, it sometimes takes 3-4 presses just to select it because you have a much smaller area of pixels to press on. In the Valentine’s day version of this game, some of the tiles are so similar in design that you can’t even tell which design it is.
I HATE the notch but it’s clearly not going away - why can’t Artex just move the left and right edges in even just a little since there is already tons of dead space on each side?
Dont even bother with the iPad versions of this game - Artex completely changed the style of the tiles and sped up the game so much (at least the Hard version), that it’s not even fun to play anymore.

### 1/5 — Why bother with this game.

*2025-01-12*

This is for a 2 year old!

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t work

*2019-03-06*

Downloaded to my iPad. Got through the screens, but wouldn’t let me choose the first level. Oh well. Deleted app.

### 2/5 — DOESN’T WORK with newer iPhones!

*2025-09-08*

FIX THE GAME! The iPhone Notch has been out for 7 or 8 YEARS! All you have to do is move the sides in (where there is TONS of dead space) so the notch doesn’t cover the incoming tiles! Come on!!
