### 3/5 — 我感觉真的很

*2026-08-03, version 6.0.3*

一个是他教程太少了吧，而且工能很少而且打着感觉很乱，知道吗？

### 3/5 — Bug may need to be fixed

*2026-02-17, version 6.0.3*

Really enjoy this game, but sometimes the “winner” doesnt have the winning tiles.

### 3/5 — Mediocre

*2026-01-13, version 6.0.3*

Far too many consecutive “No Win” games and very seldom get bonus tiles in games while other three seats get numerous bonus tiles each game. Lucky to get a score above 3 in most games. So, must always chose “0” score option and can never win “4” score let alone “10” score option games. And why do we almost always get a wind tile or, if not, an honour tile. Using this to learn mahjong but it seems to only teach how to lose.

### 4/5 — Learning MCR

*2025-12-11, version 6.0.2*

A good app to practice MCR Mahjong. Not so good for absolute beginners (there is no tutorial nor a full overview of the rules); however, it may be recommended to players who are learning the game and need to get familiar with the multiple hand patterns.

### 2/5 — Good Game Ruined

*2025-10-06, version 5.9.5*

The game was amazing for many years.  This has been on my phone, since it came out.  
Recently, they have started to place ads in the game (I am all for revenue streams).

This issue is with ad placement in-game.  The ad blocks another players tiles, effectively ruining the game.  (Yes I have submitted feed back and no, this did not resolve the issue. 

Please let me know when it is fixed.

### 3/5 — Not worth paying to stop the Adverts

*2025-06-20, version 5.9.4*

Quite a good version of Mahjong but having paid to stop the ads, it would be nice if they actually stopped. I have deleted and reloaded the APP but nothing works. 
Definitely not happy and I would like my money back

### 3/5 — Love the game but now broken

*2025-05-15, version 5.9.2*

Love the game but the recent update for iOS 18 has broken the game for iOS 12. Just crashes now

### 3/5 — Good game and playing very day

*2025-05-14, version 5.9.2*

Good game and playing very day. But leader board cannot be accessed after recent update. Hope it can be resolved asap.

### 4/5 — Where’s the MJ game?!

*2025-05-12, version 5.9.2*

I’ve been playing for months on my 12.5 iPad with no problems. Now when I tap on the game icon it doesn’t open. I’ve deleted app and reinstalled several times, and clean out my cache.   Still no game. I noted a upgrade a few days ago; is this why I can’t get game?? Please help.  I miss the game!

### 2/5 — Poor

*2025-04-30, version 5.9.0*

Who wants to play a game where most of the time you won’t win. The player should have some % advantage.

### 4/5 — Best, most realistic, but cheats

*2025-02-28, version 5.9.0*

Great game overall.  The issue is that several times the game cheats by only having three tiles (rather than four) when holding two pairs drawing for one.  Yep, screenshotted.  It also cheats in that two of the bots generally are not trying to win, but keeping the human player *from* winning, yep, screenshots galore. Finally, the cheating by the AI intensifies once the human player passes 61% winning pct.  This is. Orraborated by several of my Chinese friends who were raised on majiang

### 5/5 — Classic and Great to play in small time

*2025-01-29, version 5.9.0*

Here this app provide very great game in classic and clear vision background. 
Just very greattt tho!
Five stars!

### 5/5 — A quick question

*2024-11-24, version 5.9.0*

What does “less than 4 points can not be a ready hand” means? Every time I think I have a winning hand this message pops up.

### 5/5 — Best killing time games👍😊

*2024-10-12, version 5.9.0*

If developer can update with multiple player for LAN it would be great👍👍😁😊😄

### 3/5 — It has issues

*2024-08-01, version 5.9.0*

For it doesn’t let you play correctly, when you have a set it doesn’t let you set sometimes even if you have all 3 of a kind or in a row .

### 3/5 — 湖不了

*2024-07-21, version 5.9.0*

我打的时候我湖差不多每一次。但是它说我没到八分，每个人已经开口了。我就赢不了。

### 1/5 — 這類型遊戲後台都會作弊

*2026-02-01, version 6.0.3*

這類型遊戲後台都會作弊

### 1/5 — 好烂

*2026-01-13, version 6.0.3*

麻煩不要為了使用時長而讓電隨隨便便就能番來刷user的時間，還三個一起刷，會不會太兒戲了啊？

### 1/5 — Mahjong 13 tiles

*2025-05-17, version 5.9.2*

With the latest upgrade, I can no longer play on my iPad. Horrible upgrade.

### 1/5 — Not support iOS 12.5.7

*2025-05-14, version 5.9.2*

After update  can’t used it.

### 1/5 — 垃圾遊戲

*2024-05-26, version 5.9.0*

完美詮釋遊戲不想讓你食胡，你永遠沒得胡。一個機器人的牌超級好，其餘兩個機器人亂打牌，遊戲結束你會看見機器人的牌像亂碼一樣毫無邏輯（因為它要把你需要的牌全部扣留起來，就像三家一齊出千針對玩家一樣）開發者你是怎麼做出這種反人類遊戲的？

### 1/5 — locked to game center

*2024-05-16, version 5.9.0*

I used to love it, but now it is blocked requiring game center login.

### 1/5 — trouble downloading the app

*2023-06-12, version 5.9.0*

i cannot download the app after trying for 3-4 weeks. even after i shut off my phone and on again. checked my storage and all, they are all enough for this one app.

### 1/5 — One star

*2023-02-09, version 5.9.0*

Fun game but with the constant ads, I just deleted it

### 1/5 — Game is crap.

*2022-05-09, version 5.3.1*

Cards are not random.

### 1/5 — 配音乱七八糟，字体花里胡哨

*2022-02-20, version 5.3.1*

男女配音混乱不堪，各家性别都不固定，前一句男后一句女听到精神错乱。介绍里字体花里胡哨看着极其费眼。自摸全不靠还没有胡的选项。真的垃圾。

### 5/5 — REAL MAHJONG

*2026-08-25, version 6.0.3*

Little bit dated looking but it’s perfect, proper real mahjong. Not like the other apps where you just match, it’s the real thing. No tutorial but the instructions, reminders and rules are good. Took me maybe 3 hours of practice to go from knowing nothing to pro. Love it.

### 5/5 — Best REAL Mahjong App

*2026-05-04, version 6.0.3*

This is the only legitimate Mahjong app I’ve found that actually feels like playing real Mahjong against the computer. I tried several others, but they were either overloaded with gimmicky animations, based on non-Chinese rule sets, or simply didn’t play correctly. And most of the so-called “Mahjong” apps are actually just Mahjong Solitaire, which honestly shouldn’t even be called Mahjong.

If I had one suggestion, it would be to add an option to disable flowers or scoring rules, though that’s a very minor issue. Overall, this game is fantastic and easily the best real Mahjong experience I’ve found on the App Store.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-02-27, version 6.0.3*

Best solo Mahjong game I’ve found. But please add some basic rule customization features like to disallow chow and require self-draw.

### 5/5 — 非常好的应用

*2026-02-22, version 6.0.3*

除了广告无可挑剔

### 5/5 — the best mahjong game so far

*2026-02-21, version 6.0.3*

this game captures all the essences of a mahjong game beautifully.. no unnecessary gimmicks, accurate gameplay, even to the satisfying tiles sound

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-05, version 6.0.3*

I highly recommend this app.  It has the written rules for players so everyone can play with the same set of rules.

### 5/5 — good

*2025-11-26, version 6.0.2*

good

### 5/5 — New learner here!

*2025-09-10, version 5.9.5*

I learned how to play mahjong playing this app. I love the challenges of trying to complete certain set of hands for higher points and how the difficulty varies every match. I find the instructions super helpful and easy to comprehend.

### 5/5 — iOS 12.5 突然开始闪退无法使用了，老人很喜欢用它消磨时间，希望作者能看到

*2025-05-14, version 5.9.2*

如题

### 5/5 — 謝謝你製作這遊戲 對老人而言簡單就是最好

*2025-02-05, version 5.9.0*

感恩
