Too slow. ### 2/5 — Плохо!!! *2017-03-11* После обновления ооочень много ошибок!!!Что иной раз и "помощь" не помогает,т.к моргает только одна кость и игра сразу заканчивается из-за отсутствия ходов!Так же много спрятанных костей,которые без "помощи" не найти!Ооочень много полей которые изначально сделаны на проигрышь,часто 2 одинаковых кости друг над другом!Исправьте плиз!!! ### 5/5 — There you are *2017-02-01, version 1.4.3* Game excellent. Music irritating. ### 1/5 — No thanks *2015-02-28, version 1.2.2* They "needed" to know my name before I could play anything. I just deleted it. ### 5/5 — mahjong *2015-01-23, version 1.2.2* Love it! ### 1/5 — Lauren *2014-10-15, version 1.2.2* Back in July 2012 I wrote, "One of the better mahjong games I've played”. I had bought the unlimited version and played regularly. I’m not sure with which update this happened, (as i often only play 1 game at a time), but now when i play, a message comes up asking me to buy and unlock the full version and only lets me play a few different games over and over. Please fix this. I know it’s not a lot of money, but i imagine it’s going to add up real quick if we all have to re-purchase the unlimited version. ### 3/5 — Wants me to pay again *2014-09-30* Now updated for ios8 but now back to the start. All scores zeroed, back to free version although I have paid for full version, no response from developer. ### 5/5 — Hooked *2014-09-07, version 1.1.2* I find the mahjong games keep my mind off anything I need to forget for a while I am hooked but do not mind. I sometimes find myself playing when I should be doing housework (yuk). ### 2/5 — Stop the ads *2014-06-19, version 1.1.2* I really like playing this game. But I cannot stand that Absolutist has started putting up ads that you can't turn off unless you go to the App Store and then go back and reopen the game. Bad move, Absolutist!!! ### 1/5 — Play alone option *2014-03-15* I download this app because it said you play multiplayer or alone thought this meant offline but there's no such option so I purchase the full version but no difference. The previous one I purchased at least had more options like undo and several other options only problem had to purchase so many when that ran you had purchase more. I rather that than none at all. By the way this is the first time I ever wrote a review ## Frequently asked questions about Mahjong ### What is Mahjong: Hidden Symbol?
