### 3/5 — app not recognizing a mah jong

*2026-08-20, version 1.3.2*

i have all the things and app isn’t recognizing it and/or
giving me a mah jong button

### 5/5 — Love—just one question

*2026-08-19, version 1.3.2*

This is a great app. One of the best bot games I’ve seen or played. I like how you can add friends, I just haven’t done it yet—but am eager to see how it works. My friends and I play with blanks, and I like having them in the Parlour games, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to exchange them. Seems like it would be intuitive because everything else, but every time I try I end up discarding something I wanted to keep. Any help?

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-08-09, version 1.3.2*

Super cute and easy to use I play with my mom and friends on this app. Love love, love!!!

### 4/5 — Great App, 1 problem

*2026-08-06, version 1.3.1*

I absolutely adore this game. I love the artwork, the calling of tiles, the opportunity to have bots play slow or normal speed. 

My only qualm is not having the option to look at the whole score card. Since I’m paying money for this app, getting the option added to open it during my games would be spectacular.

### 4/5 — Lessons on iPad needs help

*2026-08-06, version 1.3.1*

I really like this app and play on my iPad. But the lessons don’t work. The screen doesn’t scroll down and the continue prompt doesn’t show so can’t move on. Discovered this after adding app to my phone.

### 1/5 — Remember when everything wasn’t a subscription?

*2026-08-06, version 1.3.1*

Why on earth would I pay $7/month for a mahjong app? Remember when you would just buy an app for $0.99 or MAYBE $1.99. And then you would just be able to play the game…without ever having to pay more…
Or sometimes there was even a free version you could use until you wanted to upgrade and pay that $1.99 one time fee.

This just feels so icky. Also, buying tiles sets within the game? Come on. Capitalism at its worst.

1 star because the design seems good but you can’t play for free unless you let them have your credit card info.

### 5/5 — Game Play is Great

*2026-08-05, version 1.3.1*

Amazing game play but I think it could use a notification setting to see when friends invite you to play.

### 4/5 — So fun - some visibility issues

*2026-07-29, version 1.3.0*

This is my favorite online mahjong game. The only issue is unless you play with “high visibility tiles” the tiles are laughably unreadable and there is no way to make them bigger. It’s very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-07-26, version 1.3.0*

I really love this game! It’s beautiful and I love that you can play with friends. my 2 biggest wishes would be more tile sets, and the ability to play with blanks in the real game.

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-23, version 1.2.8*

Beautiful tiles! Only 4 stars because I would like to have the Mahjong beginners round back to relearn steps.
