What's New in MAHJ

2.6.33

August 5, 2026

• New lesson — "Your First Full Game": a complete hand start to finish — turn order, getting skipped, and reading the payout. • Smarter practice: opponents are read from their visible tiles, and the coach no longer suggests discarding from a hand you could already win. • Purchases made clearer: better cross-device Restore, a Family Sharing note, and an easier way to reach us. • Reliability + latest store billing under the hood. • Plenty of polish and small fixes.

Best tool to learn mahjong!

My spouse and I both took the lessons in the app and are so excited to continue playing this game! I’ve recommended this app to so many of my friends!

Perfect and fun tutorial!

I’ve spent forever watching videos, reading blogs and trying other apps to learn how to play mahjong from scratch. This is the only resource that explains it completely while still keeping it fun. Great app, thanks!

Totally taught me

This app is awesome. The lessons are concise, easy to understand, and thorough with the short meaningful quizzes at the end of each lesson. I got invited to a game after I had completed lesson 9 and I knew enough to hang with the players. Highly recommend.

Response from developer

This made my day, truly - thank you! 🀄 Getting invited to a game after Lesson 9 and knowing enough to hang with the table is the exact moment we built MAHJ for. Teaching the tiles is just the start; the real goal is getting you to a real table, ready to play and belong there - and you did it. So glad the concise lessons and the quizzes landed for you. Enjoy every game ahead!

PERFECT APP!!

Omg I’m SO thankful for this app! Mahjong appeared too overwhelming, but this app has been beyond perfect for me! I’ve sent this to all my friends that have discussed starting to play! Thank you to the developer of this app! So grateful! 🤗

Gina, this absolutely made my day, thank you! 🥹 "Mahjong appeared too overwhelming" is the exact feeling I built this app to melt away, so knowing it clicked for you means the world. And sharing it with friends who want to start? That's the dream - Mahjong is best around a table with people you love. Wishing you so many happy games ahead. Tell your crew I said hi! 💚

Response from developer

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! 🀄️
