Scoring Hand Screen Error

When scoring hands it doesn’t show any tiles

Non functional

In 2025 this app does not seem to work. It’s impossible to record mahjong hands and score them. It’s unusable.

Nul

On ne peut pas l’utiliser. Arnaque!!!!

Never got to use it

There's a bug. You can't see the tiles and it was very hard to figure out. Not common sense or obvious UI at all. Mad I spent a dollar for the 3 min I tried it

Trouble with marking who the person was that provided the discard tile!

I really like this app! It works well for what I am able to do with it. But I can’t seem to be able to assign the discard person in the hand score area! What am I doing wrong or not doing right!

Well worth the download!

I’ve been playing Mahjong for years, but calculating hand scores has always been my weak suit. This app takes that stress away. Highly recommended for any serious Mahjong players!

점수 표시나 플레이어마다 체크되는건 참 좋습니다

다만 UI적인 부분에서 하단에 그림을 슬라이드 해서 패를 선택하는건 개선이 필요해 보입니다.
첫 사용시엔 정말 뭔가했는데 실수로 손이 스쳐서 알아챘습니다😅
배너같은 이미지보단 직관적인 스타일로 개선하는게 좋을 것 같네요

Dont like it

When selecting players front eu drop down the first name is mostly obscured making it very difficult to select.

As for usability I have no idea how to move to the next player to enter their hand. As above I can change between players but that is making those tiles appear on each player.

Great helper app for Riichi

Very useful app. A bit confusing at times but otherwise exactly what I needed.

Some small issues specifically for Riichi:
The score in the hand scorer section is not that clear as to how it works (especially for dealer tsumo)
No ability to pull from the table using Han and Fu (i have to build the hand in the hand scorer to do automatic score distribution, would like to be on the score sheet and specify Han and fu instead)
You need to go to the score sheet to set the difference between Ron and Tsumo (would be nice to also be able to do it in the hand scorer)
The table values in percentages are a bit confusing as most Riichi players would use Mangan, Haneman etc

Great idea but

So we have all tried to use this app to no avail. Just does not work

Doesn’t work for me in IOS

Using the European version, after sending the score, the tiles for player 1 also appear for player 2. There doesn’t seem to be a way of personalising each players set of tiles.

great app, absolutely worth the price.

I am a bit skeptical when it comes to apps that charge for things that are commonly free but this app does something a lot of online apps don’t do: it keeps score.

it is also very intuitive once you get the hang of it. but getting the hang of it can take some experimentation so please be warned.

The only issue I have is that it does not have an option to take into account double yakuman in riichi.

iPhone user, app doesn’t work for me

Downloaded the app and wasn’t able to input any tiles down to score.

No British Rules

Thought that this would help as we learn Mahjong but sadly doesn’t seem to include the British Standard scoring system, also seems a bit buggy on the iPad but has potential to be good.

Ne fonctionne pas

Ne fonctionne sur iPad Pro

Great App with a few errors

App works well and is easy and intuitive to use. There are a few errors in the HK score set, such as an all pung hand should be 3 fan.

Hope these are corrected in the future. I’ve been just adding flowers to “correct” it at this point.

Response from developer

Hi; it seems there are various different scoring tables for Hong Kong mahjong - I was working from one set. The latest update adds a toggle to the "Match Settings" that let you choose between 2 or 3 faan for the "All Pungs" and "Half Flush" hands. I hope that helps (email if there's something else?). :) Thanks for using my app!

Excellent For Riichi

This app is terrific for keeping score in Riichi Mahjong. I can understand being skeptical about paying for an app that does something as complicated and esoteric as scoring mahjong, but this app really nails it. The interface can be a little tricky, and you need to explore a bit to figure out exactly what to do, but otherwise it's perfect. You can enter what tiles were in your hand and it will be scored for you automatically. There's also a summary page that shows you the breakdown of how both the han and fu of your hand were calculated. And if that's not your thing, you can always just manually enter the amounts. The app is designed to track a whole Han-Chan and keeps track of everything from missed Riichi points to the current bonus round. There are also settings for some optional rules like forbidding open Tanyao. All in all, a really good app that covers everything, explains everything, and just works. Well worth a measly two bucks.

Missing features I wanted

The hand scorer doesn't recognize a lot of limit hands and won't allow nonstandard hands (all pairs, 13 orphans, etc) to be entered. Still a useful little app, though.

Awesome!

As a new Riichi player trying to get their head around the complicated scoring rules, this app is amazing and does exactly what I need in my games. The only reason I don't give five stars is some really annoying UI lag (between clicking a button and the app reacting is about a second delay)

In any case, thanks to the dev!

Elegantly created App

THANK YOU for creating this tool.

I too used to love playing Mah Jong with my sister and grandparents during school holidays
when I was little, (so young, that to begin with, our favourite part was knocking down and rebuilding the wall) but the knowledge of correct scoring unfortunately has disappeared as my grandparents have aged.

I have tried to learn and play as an adult and hope to use this tool more as an aid to double check my scoring as I learn rather than to replace learning how to score.

Very elegant, user friendly app, does what is says on the box.
