Good game but there are bugs
Particularly in situations where the human and a computer player have competing claims for a tile or for Mahjong. Computer always wins the dispute, regardless of position on the board or power of the claim. I’ve also seen a case in which the game failed to recognize a Mahjong.
Not as good as the PC version
I’ve always loved the Four Winds Mah Jong - it taught me how to play the game. Whilst this is a reasonable basic version, it has none of the many configurations available on the PC version so I can’t play my favourite American Modern game. I hope that it is amended with future updates.
My main issue is that it prevents me from discarding some tiles when I’m trying to be strategic which is immensely frustrating.

Disappointed
I have been playing the free version for quite a while and thought I would invest in the paid version to be able to alter settings etc. very disappointed. You can't even change opponents names. I would like to see more changes, such as ability to turn off chows and a more accurate scoring system. Landscape orientation would be good too. Since there hasn't been an update in quite some time I'm not holding my breath. I should have just stuck with the free version.

Exceptional
Really do like this game. Could do with better selection of special hands and most definitely no chows option. That would make this more entertaining. Notwithstanding though great graphics, no nonsense game. Hats off to developers. A multiplayer option would be good, would love to play this with daughter when on long trips away!!!

Very good.
This is a very good representation of the real game of mahjong, as opposed to the many 'pairing' games that seem to exist.
It does the scoring for you, thus removing one of the off putting aspects for people unfamiliar with the game but doesn't help much in explaining how or why the score is arrived at.
The graphics are fine for iPad but the Mac version makes me squint.

Don't be duped
Not real mah Jong.
Best I have found
Best real mahjong game I have played. I recommend.
Frustrating!!!
Will not let me discard tiles without providing an explanation. No tech support or help feature.
Scoring
The scoring makes no sense and there is no way to look at why a player got the score they did.
Great Mahjong app
I love this app. It is a really great translation of the mahjong game to the iPad. Nice clean and intuitive interface. The instruction manual is really useful.
I would like a couple of improvements:
- more special hands, or the ability to define a special hand,
- the option to break down the scoring of a hand (possibly before moving to the next hand),
- landscape mode.
Notwithstanding these items, the game is great.
Thanks

Great Chinese rule version!
Finally real Chinese mahjong! NOT the silly matching game or the retirement home American version.
Great time
For someone who doesn't want to play the American matching mahjong this is great!
Just wish you could mahjong with "silent" hands, mainly with kong (4 of a kind) I had that and the system would not give the option to announce Mahjong.
Minor issues but still very fun

Rediculous
No info on how to play this game. It's NOTHING like national rules. A big waste of money!
Awesome
What a fantastic game!!! Nothing to dislike, great graphics, brilliant way to spend a bit of down time, fun and very enjoyable. If you like Mahjong, get it and have some fun.
Not the best MJ app available
Not the best MJ app as it has a few flaws.
1) players pick up a discarded tile as chow then discard the same tile or the other end of the run, which doesn't make sense at all.
Some complains about this program are senseless, for example:
A) you can not chow if the last discarded tile was not from the player to your left. That's the rule of the game that I know ever since I started playing this game .
B) it is very easy to discard any tile, all you have to do is drag that tile to the center of the board and make sure that there is a replica of the image next to the last discarded tile.

Very nicely done!
Immensely enjoy this. Works and plays wonderfully. Some suggestions for future versions:
- tutorial
- ability to see how the score was arrived at
- ability to turn off automatic showing that you can use a discarded tile. You would have to interrupt yourself.
Love the game. Thanks!

Trouble discarding
Wish I had read the other reviews. Seems like we are all saying the same thing. Can't discard tiles I want. Restarted whole game twice because of that. Please fix this. I'm new to the game and wanted to use this to practice. Disappointed.
Not real mahjong- buggy
I bought this app to practice my game. This is not realistic, has many bugs. I assumed since it cost so much it would be a good practice tool. Never assume. I would like to know how to request my money back.
Not worth it
App will not let you make legal moves. Don't buy this if you want to play a good game!
Definitely NOT worth the $$$
I'm from HK and the scoring makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Pointless!
