### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2025-08-09, version 2.8*

The game is fun but too many adverts, it would be nice if they can make a No Ads option for a small charge.  Otherwise I think will uninstall the game cos too annoying.

### 3/5 — Love the game…but

*2025-05-27*

How do you keep the score from the previous day? When I close out a session and reopen it the next day, the scores are all changed to lower amounts, especially when I had a very high score. Still happens in 2025.

### 3/5 — Love the game…but

*2025-04-12*

When I close out a session and reopen it, the scores are all changed to lower amounts. Weird
Update: The game freezes every so often and I have to delete the app and reload and start over again.
Also some of the ads are offensive using bra sales to show women’s breasts or violent games of shooting animals and hearing their screams!!!!

### 2/5 — 怎么老是死机

*2025-04-02*

怎么打着打着老是死机不能打了呀？程序有问题？

### 3/5 — Nonstop Ads

*2025-03-18, version 2.8*

Why isn’t there an option to pay for no ads? There are so many that I cannot enjoy it. The number of ads seems to take up more time than the game itself. For this reason I have to delete this game.

### 4/5 — For the genuine article, start here.

*2025-03-07, version 2.8*

As someone who started gaming in 1983, I've always preferred playing against the computer, regardless of what game I play. 

This game is well presented and even though i don't fully understand the rules, I won first time. When you have a run or a set, the option to play it is presented. So even if you don't know what you're doing, you can often win without trying. That being said, I wish this game came with a tutorial. I know there are plenty of resources on the internet to learn the rules but learning while you play is always best.

### 4/5 — No paid version

*2025-02-02*

Great game, scores as it should, I play with tiles twice a week and this is spot on. Would love to pay for a version with no adds.

### 4/5 — Love the game…but

*2025-01-19*

When I close out a session and reopen it, the scores are all changed to lower amounts. Weird
Update: The game freezes every so often and I have to delete the app and reload and start over again.

### 4/5 — At last a real mahjong game

*2024-12-30, version 2.8*

This is a good implementation of the proper mahjong game not just the facile matching programs. One improvement which would cause me to buy the game at a reasonable cost would be the ability to play against real opponents rather than just the computer controlled avatars. If this were implemented this would be a tremendous game.

### 4/5 — Love the game…but

*2024-11-11*

When I close out a session and reopen it, the scores are all changed to lower amounts. Weird

### 3/5 — Wish for a paid version without ads

*2024-10-22*

Too many ads, and each ads has a different way of closing plus a timer. It is difficult for me to hunt down different ways to close an ad, and I cannot image how hard it is for less savvy players (my mom) who can manage it. The massive ads disrupts game and ruins it. I would love to pay for a version without ads to support the developers and enjoy this game to its fullest.

### 3/5 — Can you convert the Mahjong Rules to English

*2024-09-14*

Nice game but would be great to have the ability to have English Rules as well.  Also even slower speed for our slow Western Minds ; )

**Developer response:** We will provide English mahjong rules  in future versions. enjoy this game.

### 3/5 — 啥子情况

*2024-08-06*

以前有广告看完了关掉也忍了，现在为啥现在广告看完了也关不了？要关机才可以重玩

### 4/5 — The scoring system was inaccurate. Self-drawn points was only involved two parties.

*2024-04-07, version 2.8*

Self -drawn scorings was supposed to deduct from all parties, but only two parties were counted, so not sure how the party was selected. 
Plus, not all special types were counting as score points, such as only ones and nines, or no ones or nines.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-01-18*

I do have one complaint and a suggestion. When someone wins, it immediately jumps to a different screen. I want to see the hand and take it all in before finished. Just a pause at the time of the win with a continue button would be helpful. Nice to be playing the version i am familiar with. Have played Mahjong for many many years.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. After the score sceen appears, you can touch  the game screen to see the mahjong.

### 1/5 — 没有开网络权限，自动偷偷联网？

*2026-07-10*

没有开网络权限，自动偷偷联网？利用升级内置广告？？？这违法了吧？

### 1/5 — 乱透了

*2025-08-26*

### 1/5 — ？？？

*2025-07-31*

### 1/5 — 广告太恶心了，关不掉

*2025-02-20*

一糊了就强制看广告，关都关不掉。

### 1/5 — 垃圾 广告关不掉 一局一个 半局一个

*2024-12-02*

太垃圾了

### 1/5 — 垃圾

垃圾，打一把一个广告

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — 单机麻将

*2026-05-04*

个人觉得，不用实名制，已经是很多游戏的天花板！红中的规则对于广东的我来讲，有点不适应。不怕，还有中国麻将的财神，作用和红中一样，但规则就是广东这边的！想听牌就听！

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-11-20*

Very enjoyable and teaches strategy by repetition.

### 5/5 — 一些建议，望改进

*2023-04-13*

1、只有中国麻将有速度调整，建议其他麻将玩法也增加速度调整
2、没有南昌麻将
3、电脑胡牌太快了，经常自家才听牌他们就相互放炮，要是中国麻将也能增加血流成河或血战到底玩法就好了
4、要是每个玩法能增加选择双人麻将模式就好了
5、听牌时看到的番数、胡牌前看到的番数、最终实际的番数，经常不一样

**Developer response:** 感谢您的使用和反馈.提到的bug我们将会在接下来的版本中进行修改.谢谢

### 5/5 — 如何去广告

*2022-10-24*

如题，付费也行

### 5/5 — 希望增加辽宁麻将

*2022-04-05*

这是最近下载的最合心意的单机麻将了 种类多 画面不错 速度快 就是没有辽宁麻将 其他种类不太会玩= =广告有 但是可以理解

### 5/5 — 强力推荐

*2022-02-20*

里面包含的种类太多了，几乎每个地区的麻将都有。画面设计的不错，运行流畅，强力推荐！

### 5/5 — 玩起来感觉不错呢

*2021-12-29*

特殊原因没敢开声音，但是玩起来感觉挺好，上牌什么设计也蛮合理。广告也不多，时间很短。

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2021-01-14*

My employees and friends have been teaching me mahjongg. I have learned so much about scoring and strategy by just playing. I did have to ask my friend how to discard but once I figured it out it was great. It is all I play. I have had some trouble the last couple days with having a winning hand and it is not letting me win. The learning experience is worth the learning experience I am getting thanks to this game. 

Thank you for such a great ap. JJ

### 5/5 — 挺好的

*2020-12-28*

如果牌的模型更好看一点就好了，现在的牌看不大清楚

### 5/5 — 游戏很好但是声音是个BUG

*2020-06-17*

软件声音应该靠媒体声音大小吧，咱们这软件好像用的是系统铃声的声音大小来控制的。一样下个版本能更新。支持！良心开发

**Developer response:** 感谢你的使用和好评，我们将会持续更新。
