You can’t mute the ad. You can’t bypass the ad. You have to fully close out of the app and restart it. So awful ### 2/5 — Timer nervt *2025-03-30, version 3.59.0* Zu gross, präsent und 100stel sind vielzuviel ### 5/5 — Nice game *2024-09-25, version 3.53.0* Very nice casual game! ### 5/5 — Bestes Spiel aller Zeiten *2024-09-11, version 3.53.0* Es ist ein verstecktes Juwel im AppStore, jeder sollte dieses Spiel ausprobieren 🔥 ### 2/5 — It’s cool but… *2023-01-17, version 3.33.1* This used to be a Jirbo version of mahjong i think it was called jirbo jong or something. Do you developers remember jirbo? Because I sure do, heck I remember playing jirbomatch child development edition on my iPod when I was 5 years old in the year 2009. And it’s sooooo special to me and I want it back and I still have 2 other old Jirbo apps. JirboBounce & Paperfootball version of Jirbo on my old iPad iOS version 5.1.1 and it still works and I so much love jirbo. Is there a way you guys have jirbomatch child development edition because I really want it back and if I have it on my back on my old iPad it would sure make my life a pile of gold and happiness! If you guys would bring back Jirbo match to me it would be awesome!!!! But if you don’t have it. It’s totally okay thank you and goodbye. ### 1/5 — Latest update ruined this *2022-05-29, version 3.1* Do NOT update this app if you haven’t already. Is there any way to reinstall version 2 of this game? The new feel is uncomfortable and no longer fun. Also many many more advertisements which are now necessary to finance the unfun new look. What a waste of a once great version of mahjong! ### 1/5 — New version too bad *2022-04-15, version 3.0* The board is too small and confused, the clock so big, disturb, the old one was much better, unfortunately I will stop playing ### 2/5 — Horrible Update *2022-04-05, version 3.0* I used to play this game a lot. The update that just pushed through is awful. The tiles are much smaller, and you can no longer see what’s under the tile once activated. Makes no sense that this app got worse instead or improving. Why make a small tile game have even smaller graphics. ### 1/5 — Hate the latest update *2022-04-04, version 3.0* I cannot stand the latest update. The tiles are so small I can’t see them. The format is different (and horrible). This was my go-to game but I’ve deleted it. If you haven’t updated yet, don’t do it. You’ll probably end up deleting it, just like I did. ### 1/5 — NOPE *2022-04-04, version 3.0* HATE the new look! Please give the old game back! ## Frequently asked questions about iMahjong ### What is this app? This app offers a mobile version of the classic Mahjong game.
