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.

Мультиплеер

Хотелось бы как-то в мультиплеер поиграть, пасс энд плей или по сети. Благодарю за отличную игру!

Riichi at its furry finest

I bought this already knowing how to play Riichi. But this app is patient, understanding, fun, and clever in its teaching methods. You will feel confident in learning. Options to swap out the Japanese Character tiles for anglicized numbers is a welcome choice for those who wish or need it. The multitude of characters are awesome. Programmed in with different playstyles and thus "difficulties" is a grand touch. Speed of discard is able to be modified as well so you can play a faster game too. What sets this game apart is that is a one time purchase with zero ads. Ever. And can be played fully offline. There is no matchmaking lobby BUT if you have three friends who wish to play you can create a room and play against them, live. I highly recommend this game!

Bug that prevented Pung

I was liking this, aside from the fact that the tiles are extremely small. I found a bug that prevented me from punging a 3 of bamboo even though it was the player who went ahead of me who discarded it and I had chow/pung notifications turned on. Devs should fix this. Otherwise it obfuscated the rules.

シンプルな内容、広告無しの買切り

スマホの麻雀アプリで、シンプルな内容で広告無しの買切りは珍しいし、これらの点だけで十分評価できる。ただ、不自然な序盤の1・9牌のポンが気になるので、ルールに「後付け」の有無を追加して欲しい。
