What's New in MAHJ

2.6.26

July 15, 2026

• Play with a Crew: invite friends and they can join whether or not they've installed the app yet. • Smoother, more consistent tables - hand racks are now the same comfortable size across lessons, drills, and games. • New "Do you want to be East?" choice before each game. • VoiceOver and accessibility improvements throughout. • Reliability and polish: fixed a table-hint seat-name mix-up, steadier gameplay, and a smoother in-app experience. Hit a snag or have a suggestion? I'd love to hear from you, reach out anytime at info@welcome2mahj.com. Happy playing!

Thank you so much! This genuinely made my day! 💚 I really appreciate you giving me the chance to help. Taking care of my players is the whole reason I built this, and I'm always just an email away if anything ever comes up. Enjoy the game, so glad to have you here! 🀄️

This made my day, thank you! I set out to make mahjong easy and welcoming for beginners, so this means everything to a one-person business like mine. And thank you for sharing it with your friends!! 🀄️💚

Response from developer

Thank you so much, "clear, easy, precise" is exactly what I was hoping for, so this genuinely made my day. 🀄 I put a lot of care into the examples, so I'm thrilled they clicked for you. If you ever rope a few friends into learning too, that's the whole dream - mahjong's best with four! Enjoy!

Incredible

This app is incredible. I can tell the developer really takes pride in it. I used it to learn the basics a couple of months ago and it was great. I restarted progress from scratch the other day and can see the app is clearly upgraded significantly from top to bottom to make learning even easier. Plus the ask the coach feature utilizes ai very well so questions are answered clearly. On top of all of that the app is free which is unusual for an app like this.
Keep it up!

Thank you so much, this genuinely made my day. 🀄 I'm a one-person team, so hearing that the pride shows through means the world. You noticed exactly right: I've been rebuilding the app top to bottom - lessons, drills, and especially the AI Coach - to make learning even easier, and reviews like yours are how I decide what to improve next. So glad you came back and started fresh, and even happier the Coach is answering your questions clearly. Welcome back to the table! 💛

Response from developer
