Perfect offline game!

Used to play on Android and bought it again on iOS. Sadly the latest update reset my stats and unlocks.

Great app! But most recent update wiped all of my data

I love this app! Really lets me get my Mahjong fix in. But, this most recent update absolutely wiped all of my data. So, now I have to start all over…

The Best.

Excellent tutorials and reference. Charming interface and atmosphere. Addictive and endless fun. I always wanted to learn to play this seemingly complex game, this made it so easy. A frictionless, top tier app. Well done devs!

Cute and Fun app

It’s a cute app and worth the cost. Whenever I can’t play Mahjong Soul, this app fills my need for riichi.
