### 1/5 — ROOM

*2025-07-28, version 7.1.5*

The game won’t let me create  room

### 1/5 — Sorta fixed...

*2020-05-27, version 5.2*

Fixed crashing issues and such but changed game play... impossible to win now... literally haven’t won a single game since last update

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2020-05-05, version 4.8*

Latest version crashing on air 2

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-04-05, version 4.4*

Crashed 3/5 games...

### 1/5 — Glitching

*2019-06-17, version 1.7*

Keeps giving false wins due to glitching!!

### 1/5 — Terrible Appl

*2019-06-02, version 1.7*

Mahjong is suppose to have 4 of the same kind, often run into 5-6 of the same tile, example, after I kong, the fifth one came out and there was nothing I can do but discard the 5th one. Game is also very slow, don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — It does not recogize winning when a pair shown up n chow when winning

*2019-05-25, version 1.6*

It does not recogize winning when a pair n also with chow

### 1/5 — Fair and Needs Work

*2019-05-19, version 1.6*

The game is fair, slow and needs work.  It passed me by and did not allow me to pung, the next player received the card (chow).  You should be able to play with 3 fans with flowers.  Cannot see the whole table top to view what other players are displaying.  Will probably come back when corrected.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t let you win

*2024-07-19, version 7.1.3*

I have played this at all levels and I’ve yet to understand why when I have a win the app will not let me win. I understand that you’re supposed to have at least a one point value to win on a chicken hand, but I had a mixed pong hand, and all I needed was my pair and it would not let me win. That has happened several times and it’s very frustrating.

### 2/5 — very glitchy & buggy

*2020-06-08, version 5.3*

single player use is fine but then when i add friends & try to invite them to play, i just get stuck at the loading screen & i cannot play with friends. pls fix the multiplayer function

### 5/5 — Hong Kong style mahjong

*2022-02-24, version 6.0.5*

I am enjoying playing the game. Can you tell me why I keep playing the same level over and over? Thanks Judy

### 5/5 — Stable 6.0.2 highly recommended

*2021-02-12, version 6.0.2*

J-SEI Mahjong Club has been using the HKS Mahjong 3D app since March 26, 2020 after COVID closed our Senior Center. The latest 6.0.2 version solves the crashes on Self Help Mahjong and Kong. Crashing on a Self Help Mahjong used to be a consistent problem with iPad and iPhone devices and less frequent on Android devices. This app crashes when using Zoom video on the same device:  use 3-way call or an audio bridge instead.  Still some initial online challenges with seniors registering, disconnecting and not being able to see Join or Show Roomlist. After the pandemic is over and we get back together each Thursday playing with physical tiles, there are lots of advantages to continuing to play online a couple of hours each Monday and Saturday and remotely with family.

### 4/5 — Great… but bugs

*2025-09-02, version 7.1.5*

Great app, it’s awesome for playing mahjong. The only issue I have is that when playing advance level the computer opponents play chicken hand level… would be great if that can get fixed

### 4/5 — Audio suggestion

*2020-06-11, version 5.3*

Hi, I really enjoy playing this game as it gives a good explanation for those who aren’t so good at playing it and it’s really simple to use. However I am unable to play any background music on my iPhone when using the app. 
Many thanks

### 4/5 — Great but multiplayer glitchy

*2020-04-11, version 4.4*

I love how I can play w friends but it keeps disconnecting after 2 - 3 rounds. And sometimes after you Kong, the game freezes. Hope it will improve because I love the multiplayer function

### 3/5 — Needs fixing

*2019-06-05*

I held a Kong in my hand but could not find an option to lay this so that I could replace the tile.

I picked up a winning tile, holding 5,6,7,7 tiles I picked up a 4 and the game did not recognise this as a win.

Love the appearance of the game, but needs some fixes.
