### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-08-28, version 2.6.0*

Is a great playable of the classic game. I just wished I could install a later a later version on my old phone. It’s trying to install the latest version which my very old phone cannot do. I just want an earlier version that has the events. 

Even without the events it’s still a great game.

### 3/5 — Stop ads during gam

*2026-08-28, version 2.6.0*

I have been playing this game a few years and recommend it to everyone that stopped yesterday during the game you are taken to an ad which is difficult to leave!  Today over four times this occurred please stop this I tried to contact support but I did not want to chat to AI just wanted to let you know that this behavior needs to stop there’s better ways of dealing with advertising if this continues I will just delete this game. The game is one of the best I’ve played and would like to keep it but not under these conditions.

### 4/5 — Game is fun

*2026-08-27, version 2.6.0*

I play this game to kill time mostly. It is super distracting and is very satisfying. The only thing I wish was better was the daily streak. I wish the daily streak got to look cooler and change color once you get a higher streak. But over all the game is fun and I will put 4 stars.

### 2/5 — To many adds

*2026-08-05, version 2.5.4*

To many adds

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2026-08-01, version 2.5.4*

Game is very confusing and graphics SUCK

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-31, version 2.5.4*

Granted, I’ve been away from the game for about a month. But suddenly, I have tiles that wobble and shudder instead of moving when I’m matching an identical file. It appears that the level the tiles are on now also must match?

Again, I’ve been away from the game for a while—is my memory shot and it’s been like this for ages or there was a change implemented that I wasn’t aware of?
The change is annoying, making the game less enjoyable.

As long as we’re here, something needs to be done with your ads and quickly: there are far too many (including some that pop up in the middle of game play), last too long and worst of all, freeze, giving you out of the game to restart. 

Fix these and you’ve got a great game


If not, there are plenty of games out there

### 3/5 — Distractions

*2026-07-29, version 2.5.4*

Too many ads

### 3/5 — Hate the Ads!!!

*2026-07-26, version 2.5.3*

Wish there were fewer ads, and make them shorter or be able to “x” out of them after 20-30seconds! Then I’d give this game a “5” star rating.

### 2/5 — Wasted time

*2026-06-27, version 2.5.3*

Ads too long and too many. The number of ads associated with this game is unreasonable especially since the game is not enjoyable enough to pay for it. 
It’s a rip off.

### 5/5 — Mahjong Solitaire

*2026-06-16, version 2.5.3*

Easy relaxing game

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2026-06-13, version 2.5.3*

This is the first app I ever downloaded, way back in the day, and I’ve observed that each MobilityWare game is developed by mature brains with solid vision. Their games all work smoothly and reliably, with obvious emphasis on solid code, not glitchy ‘bells and whistles’.  Thank you, and keep up the good work.  Attention to detail and solid performance makes your development team my ‘go to’ in a world where we seem to value ‘flash’ over ‘substance’.  Don’t give in to cheap tricks and cutting corners.  I play games to calm my mind, and not add stress to my life!

### 5/5 — Misleading ad

*2026-06-13, version 2.5.3*

Why do you accept an ad that tells me that the version that I am using is outdated and I should click to update? I know it’s not genuine but you could lose customers over this.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-12, version 2.5.3*

Love to play

### 5/5 — Daily game

*2026-05-10, version 2.5.3*

This is an awesome game and I have played it daily for years now.  It has the right combination of fun and complexity.  Love it!

### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads

*2026-09-01, version 2.6.0*

Before even running the game the first time - bombarded with ads.   Deleted.

### 1/5 — Freezes Constantly

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.0*

Even with latest updates  - this game freezes for long moments multiple times!  Developer is aware of the issue but will not fix.  It is not an iPhone issue, it is the app.  No proper update to fix this known issue - So have uninstalled this game app!

### 1/5 — you have a limit to shuffles and that makes for really short the games.

*2026-08-07, version 2.5.4*

I play the game in the first one I had no problem and no shuffle. Boom, good deal. Game two same thing. Get to game three and at the end of my second shuffle that was the end of the game. Mahjong game apps should not ever have a limit of how many shuffles of the tiles that you can do for each game. if you do then why bother playing the game if it's going to be over in 10 seconds? I will be deleting this app.

### 1/5 — I loved this app until…

*2026-08-06, version 2.5.4*

I loved this app until it stopped registering that I’d played the daily challenge each day. I’ve lost my 1000 day streak due to this! I’m furious!! I play it every single day with very few exceptions. For some reason, I’ll play it one day and the very next day it will show that missed and use a freeze or restart my streak all over again. Just yesterday, 8/5/26, I played and today, 8/6/26, it showed that I’d missed yesterday’s daily challenge. I have a 6 day streak now.

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2026-07-31, version 2.5.4*

Something changed in this update so that tiles that look free are apparently not. Very confusing.

### 1/5 — Black tiles what happened

*2026-06-05, version 2.5.3*

All the tiles are black. I can’t play my favorite game!!!

### 1/5 — Not giving away my data.

*2026-05-07, version 2.5.3*

I don’t play games that want my data first.

### 1/5 — Ads won’t close

*2026-05-07, version 2.5.3*

Too many annoying ads that take multiple clicks and taps to get rid of. I don’t mind short ads that take one tap to end, but there’s getting more and more that can take four or five attempts to end and many of these have fake Xs that don’t even close the screen, or others that open their websites when you try and close them and this is telling the algorithms that you like the product and so you get bombarded with even more of their annoying ads. 
If there was a one-time purchase I’d probably buy it, but it’s a monthly subscription that I feel is overpriced, especially when I play several games and can’t afford to subscribe to every one. Regrettably I’m giving up playing now for other games that don’t have this annoyance.

### 1/5 — Way to many ads

*2026-05-02, version 2.5.3*

Multiple ads after everything game. Takes a minute or more to get back to the game. Not enjoyable at all.

### 1/5 — Why I don’t like this app

*2026-04-26, version 2.5.3*

I didn’t like how there was so many commercials and I can’t press x so I have to off the app then back on I can’t delete the apps on my phone cause it weird.

*2026-08-25, version 2.6.0*

Enjoy the game but had a commercial for a paranormal game which I don’t appreciate at all. Hope this was a 1 time commercial.

*2026-07-18, version 2.5.3*

This is one of my top favorite Mahjong games that I used to own. May I please resubscribe and buy this again. I find this Mahjong Solitaire game one of my top Favorites. The game is very bright and Colorful for gameplay. I hope for Special Events I will be able to earn badges and for Daily Challenges I will be able to earn trophies.

### 5/5 — 😀🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪1234cool

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.3*

Fun🥳

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-04, version 2.5.3*

I absolutely love this Mahjong game! I play it every single day, and it has become one of my favorite ways to relax. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is smooth, and the puzzles are consistently fun and engaging. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating such a polished experience.

One feature I would love to see added is an optional game timer displayed at the top of the screen. It would be great to know exactly how long each game takes to complete, making it easier to challenge myself, track my progress, and try to improve my completion times. An option to turn the timer on or off would make it even better for players who prefer a more relaxed experience.

Thank you for creating such an enjoyable game. I look forward to future updates and hope you’ll consider adding this feature!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-26, version 2.5.3*

This is the first game that I’ve actually feel challenged. I really like this game.
