My only quibble would be that there is no hints. I would appreciate a hint when I get stuck. ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2026-03-24, version 1.19* A very calming game. I have played this years ago. It’s nice and simple. ### 5/5 — I Like it *2026-03-04, version 1.19* Real good free version of Mahjong. ### 4/5 — Mahjong *2026-02-26, version 1.19* Love this game, so relaxing 👌 ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2026-02-19, version 1.19* Love this game, best mahjong I’ve found. ### 5/5 — pas de pub *2026-02-16, version 1.19* du choix, bon jeu ### 5/5 — 頭のウォーミングアップ *2026-02-13, version 1.19* 仕事の休憩で気分転換に遊んでおります。また、ボケ防止の頭の体操に最高です。ゲームですが最高です。 ### 5/5 — Gratuit sans pub *2026-02-08, version 1.19* J’adore ### 5/5 — Классический маджонг и без рекламы *2026-01-31* Хороший, хоть и аскетичный маджонг. Во что-то очень похожее играл на старом Linux. Ностальгия. Автору уважение, что не стал портить продукт рекламой ### 5/5 — J’adore ce jeu *2026-01-25, version 1.19* Simple et tactique ### 5/5 — Bestes mahjongg *2026-01-09, version 1.19* Ohne Schnickschnack ### 5/5 — Маджонг *2026-01-09* Супер! Спасибо! Рекламы нет! ### 5/5 — ฝึกความ สมาธิ *2026-01-07, version 1.19* ทำให้มีสมาธิจดจ่อดี ### 5/5 — Buen juego *2026-01-04, version 1.18* Excelente ejercicio para la mente! Diseño agradable. ### 5/5 — Mahjongg *2025-12-31, version 1.19* Wenn ich zwischendurch mal Zeit habe spiele ich es gerne mal und ich komme dabei auch runter. ### 4/5 — 良いと思います。 *2025-12-27, version 1.19* ただ、画面の拡大縮小がもう少し素早く出来れば良かったかと思いました。 ### 5/5 — Génial *2025-12-22, version 1.19* Pas de pub et le vrai jeu , avec 96 tableaux !! ### 5/5 — 暇つぶしに *2025-12-21, version 1.19* 頭の運動に良い ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs a massive improvement *2026-05-19, version 1.19* The positive part of this app is that the tiles are beautifully designed. On the other side of the coin the game ends abruptly and rudely. Most other Mahjong games allow the player to shuffle the tiles when no more moves are available. This game ends abruptly with a very rude “Game Over” message pop up in your face and you cannot do anything else. Developer needs to change the game to allow the tiles to be shuffled. Also, after the first few games you win you start to lose most if not all the games. I worked in software development and if our programs ended abruptly and as rudely as this one we would be terminated immediately for developing a program that was against company policy on fairness and frendliness. Game needs to be coded to be able to shuffle the tiles or not end so abruptly and rudely. Also if the developer isn’t updating and checking the program regularly it should be removed from the App Store. This game has not been updated or touched in over three years. One other thing look closely at the way the programmer has the program stack the tiles. They are stacked to prevent the player from winning games. Identical tiles stacked on top of each other and stacked in the rows side by side. Not a good idea. I suggest the App Store contact the developer and have them correct their errors or remove the game from the App Store until the developer makes corrections and updates the game. ### 1/5 — Needs a massive improvement *2026-02-08, version 1.19* The positive part of this app is that the tiles are beautifully designed.

Not a good idea. ### 1/5 — Adware *2025-07-07, version 1.19* I've played this thing plenty and suddenly ads start appearing. Not just ads but ads for more malware. No. And if you're interested, there's no opt out iap to disable them of nothing. Find one that's actually free or pay for a decent one if you can find quality software somewhere, but don't download this. ### 1/5 — Trop compliqué *2025-06-09, version 1.19* Jeu sponsorisé par les ophtalmologues et les opticiens. C’est trop complexe : vous cliquez et un coup ça marche et un coup ça ne marche pas. Certaines figurines ne me plaisent pas du tout. Dommage. ### 1/5 — Needs a massive improvement *2024-11-02* The positive part of this app is that the tiles are beautifully designed. On the other side of the coin the game ends abruptly and rudely.

Если да то как вы это делаете,?!!!Собрать абсолютно не возможно 🤦‍♀️😡!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-09-10, version 1.19* I love this game its much harder than some of the others. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Mahjong (1bsyl) *2026-07-18, version 1.19* The best Mahjong game by far. ### 5/5 — Супер *2026-06-22* Отличный классический маджонг, сложный и без подсказок. Просьба к разработчикам добавить поворот экрана 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great game, *2026-06-08, version 1.19* Love it because there are no advertisements that keep you from playing until, you watch them in entirety during the games. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-06-03, version 1.19* Very good ### 5/5 — Качественно и без рекламы *2026-05-13* Рекламы нет, расклады качественные, большой выбор. Интерфейс сыроват, отсутствует соревнование, но это все поправимо, однозначно 5 звезд. ### 5/5 — Лучшее за последнее время. *2026-05-07* Качество, конечно, на троечку, в плане мелко и нет возможности изменить поворот экрана. Достаточно примитивный дизайн. Но абсолютное отсутствие рекламы!!! Уровни сложные, нет этого столь популярного дофоминового безумия, когда уровень проходишь за секунды и все просто моментально схлопывается. И ты понимаешь, что разработчики тебя просто держат на крючке за дурака. Но тут надо напрячь извилины! Надо продумывать стратегию! За это можно простить топорность игры и дубовость настроек. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-03-29, version 1.19* Annoying at first but then quite enjoyable after being successful ### 5/5 — 気楽 *2026-03-26, version 1.19* 気楽に楽しめるゲームです ### 5/5 — Bien *2026-03-14, version 1.19* Bien --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
