The game itself is quite challenging with no silly “features” that get in the way. Plain, simple and challenging. Took 10 days to finish all the levels. The first 59 seemed all of a muchness and were not too difficult but the final one (level 60) was fiendish and took me several days to master. And then it was over! Disappointed that it stops there. ### 4/5 — Brilliant *2020-12-10, version 1.8* I managed to do all 60 💪 ### 4/5 — Like very much *2018-10-03, version 1.5* Sorry this only goes through level 60. Would love to go further. I find I’m redoing previous levels, but I’d like at least another 60. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2018-04-15, version 1.5* Can’t get past level 49. After playing it for two weeks, multiple times a day, it ends the same way - two tiles on top of each other. So disappointed since I was really enjoying the game 😟 ### 4/5 — Mahjong Solitaire Free *2016-05-20, version 1.3* This is a GREAT GAME, My favourite , I am very FRUSTRATED your designer is not listening to the players, You are unable to proceed to the next Step level, or upon completing one level, it I'll NOT OPEN next Layout Level, Have noticed reviews who has mentioned same comments. Please do try to amend the fault. Thank you ### 5/5 — Mahjong impossoble *2016-02-26, version 1.3* I have been playing this game for a long time it's a great game, but I cannot get past game 49 it is just impossible to finish, so I cannot go any further so I am replaying the previous games. This is ok but it would be great To play the other games. Regards Marg B ### 5/5 — Mbknees *2015-12-28, version 1.3* Excellent app, enjoy all Mahjong games so this one is good. No glitches so far. Oh yes can't get past level 49. Seems impossible to me after many attempts. ### 5/5 — Donna B. *2015-09-09, version 1.2* Fantastic App. Thanks ### 4/5 — Good game *2015-07-20, version 1.2* Like to play! Sometimes it forgets to hold my place and goes back a few levels ### 5/5 — Great game!! *2015-06-19, version 1.2* I love this game! Haven't had any problems with it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No ads?? *2023-05-31, version 2.0* Once again another game that claims no ads, yet I sit through ad after ad! I just want to PURCHASE an ad free game! ### 1/5 — A------s *2020-06-21, version 1.6* JERKS!!! ### 1/5 — Player *2016-04-12, version 1.3* When you stop playing for the day and go back the next day the game reverts back to # 1 and you have to start over again. ### 1/5 — Mahjong Solitaire Free for iPad *2015-05-05, version 1.2* I was enjoying this app very much, however when I reached Level 49 there was a barrier preventing my winning over numerous attempts. Mostly I was able to play to within two tiles. After it was no longer good fun I deleted the app. Frustrated! ### 2/5 — Regress to level 1 *2015-08-18, version 1.2* This very irritating feature means that I play this game far less often than I used to. I have my favorite configurations and prefer to play them over and over. Being forced to play others is not my idea of fun. Not recommended. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2015-06-03, version 1.2* I started out really liking this Mahjong version but ever since it got to level 8, I can go no further. As long as I continue playing and get to level 10, the next time I get back to it, it is back to level 8. I've replayed it several times and it always goes back. PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 3/5 — LEVEL 60 🤨 *2021-02-21, version 1.8* I cannot get this level completed, been trying for weeks. The last two tiles are on top of each other which makes it impossible to complete. I’ve now deleted the app, it’s too frustrating!!! ### 3/5 — Progress resets *2020-06-26* I really like this game but whenever I close it and reopen it after a few hours or days, the progress resets to 1.....is that intended? I just find it annoying ### 3/5 — It started out so well... *2019-07-26, version 1.5* I loved this game until I got to level 49. There’s no way to win it! You always end up with the last two on top of each other. ### 3/5 — LEVEL 49!! *2018-10-03, version 1.5* like others I can’t get level 49 to complete. With the last two tiles matching and being on top of each other there is no way to complete. I’ve tried and tried. Fix this please so that I can carry on enjoying the puzzle. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME!!! *2021-10-23, version 2.0* Great game!!! Very addictive!!! I love this game, a nice way to relax & not be concerned with adds interference!!! ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2020-10-29, version 1.8* Thoroughly enjoying this version. Keeping me entertained for many hours. ### 5/5 — Addictive Game *2020-09-18, version 1.8* Very good game. Most of the levels are not very hard, level 60 is really hard. I managed to pass it after I tried it 20-30 times. Best mahjong game I have found so far. I just reset my score to play it again. Good designs and easy to play. Good to kill time and I play it everyday. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-11-26, version 1.6* Great game 🐥 ### 5/5 — I am Obsessed! *2019-07-10, version 1.5* I put this game on my iPhone and love it. I kept my mind occupied during my recovery from a recent surgery. ### 5/5 — Snap *2019-06-23, version 1.5* This Mahjong game is the best, it allows you to use your brain as the games get harder and harder. All you need to do is concentrate to find the matching tiles. Thanx again it’s great. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2019-05-18, version 1.5* I thoroughly enjoy this game. It is a no-nonsense presentation without any frippery. Thanks ### 5/5 — Hoping for more levels *2018-12-11, version 1.5* This is a fun game with well marked tiles. Some are fairly easy and several are very tough and require well planned strategy. Great there are 60 levels, but would love more. ### 5/5 — Really Good Game! *2018-07-07, version 1.5* Am very pleased with Mahjong Solitaire, it is both challenging and entertaining. Ideal that you can progress with your own success! Recommend it for boring car journeys, times waiting for transport, or in the doctors or hospital waiting area! ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2016-05-12, version 1.3* Love the fact of each level of challenge of the mahjong. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
