### 5/5 — Loads of Fun

*2024-10-01, version 2.25*

Great! Best Majong App out there. I highly recommend!!

Nice imagery that changes with each game, staying fresh.

Can 'undo' moves & retry other tiles, so your not locked into a move.

Anything by "Boy Howdy" is great & I highly recommend!! They are the best company out there! They always get back to you and take care of their players!!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-09-22, version 2.24*

Yes, I really do enjoy mahjong, it keeps me occupied for hours.

### 5/5 — Mahjong

*2024-08-19, version 2.24*

It’s a great game but really hard!
Maybe you can make it a little easier! Other than that it’s so fun and I love playing it with my family!🩷🩷

### 5/5 — Better than foreign

*2024-05-01, version 2.24*

Better than foreign writing is the emojis you are familiar with. It is so much better. As the emoji get more added I hope it is added to the game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Slow clunky amateur

*2026-05-06, version 2.33*

Clearly run by a computer that often freezes up daily. No customer support. Don’t recommend this dud.

### 1/5 — Don’t Like

*2025-10-13, version 2.28*

This costs points to play. Also ad on bottom of screen is distracting.

### 1/5 — Locks up my phone

*2023-04-04, version 2.20*

This game is a resource hog. The longer you play the more resources it uses. This makes my phone start to get warm and it eventually locks up. Takes several minutes to get it to restart. In software this is mostly caused my severe memory leaks.

### 1/5 — Mah-jong Jewels

*2020-04-07, version 2.12*

Le jeu est redondant.  C’est toujours pareil. Pas de niveaux de difficulté.  Fait 110 level sans aucun changement de forme de tableaux.

### 1/5 — Cansativo

*2019-01-20*

Os emoji sao muitos repetitivos , deviam ser mais variado. Pfv mude isso...

### 1/5 — Only got so I can have a cookie

*2017-10-07, version 2.5*

No seriously. In my family it's the next Pokemon go

### 1/5 — Pop ups

*2016-10-07, version 2.2*

What is it with all the google iPhone scam pop ups all of a sudden. I loved this game but now every few seconds all I get is ad pop ups

### 1/5 — Don't try this

*2015-02-23, version 1.5*

It is the worst excuse for a mahjong game I ever saw. It does not tell you if you have no more moves it is that stupid. The programmers apparently didn't have any skills or interest in the game. Now if you want to see an outstanding mahjong game, try Moonlight Lite.

### 1/5 — Bug: you get frozen

*2013-10-13, version 1.2*

Not able any more to click on the pairs after about 10 minutes regularly. You need to reload the game from AppStore ... Not a good one!

### 2/5 — Political ads

*2024-10-20, version 2.25*

It’s a game not a political forum
