I have been playing level 796 for several months now without completing it and previous levels have taken dozens if not hundreds of attempts before I succeed. May I suggest that you add a skip function so that one may continue playing higher levels without dying from frustration. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-08-04, version 2.9* Tiles are way to small and music is annoying ### 2/5 — Don’t bother with this one *2026-07-02, version 2.9* I’ve been playing mahjong for years. The last ones I played I completed all levels. This one has a timer & you have to buy hints. Not worth my time ### 3/5 — Money pit it essentially a rip off *2026-05-27, version 2.9* I don’t recommend this game. If you don’t solve it the first time the game algorithm attempts to frustrate you into paying for hints or shuffling. There are games where there are few or no ads and shuffling is free. Look for those. ### 2/5 — Deleting app, cards too small. *2026-05-18, version 2.9* Fun game with no ads at least in beginning. But cards are uncomfortably small and hard to see the designs. Strange since Mahjong is advertised to Seniors who obviously need large print in books and Apps. All other Mahjong games advertise having large tiles especially designed for Seniors. Deleting app and will only install games described as having large tiles for Seniors. Developer fix your game or everyone will delete it and give bad reviews. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-04-30, version 2.9* I have been playing this game on this app for years. No Wi-Fi needed, no ads. I can only say this is the best game out there! ### 5/5 — Very nice game *2026-04-20, version 2.9* I love this game. Challenging at times, but that is what I want. Keeps the brain thinking and the fingers working. Thanks so much. ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2026-04-06, version 2.9* Can’t stop playing. Enjoying so much ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-28, version 2.9* Fine game ### 5/5 — No Ads! *2026-02-22, version 2.9* Great game ### 5/5 — Some old man *2026-02-13, version 2.9* Drives me crazy, I worked in the far east including China, when they play! They ate Lightning fast!!! ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2026-01-22, version 2.9* This game is NOT clickbait its well worth it ### 5/5 — Best Mahjong game *2026-01-10, version 2.9* I love playing games to kill time when listening to a podcast. I HATE constant annoying adds. This game has none! ### 5/5 — Best Mahjong *2026-01-08, version 2.9* Stands out as the very best of all the Mahjong games Thankfully ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-01-03, version 2.9* Nice Game… ### 5/5 — Great free game! *2025-12-29, version 2.9* Love this game. Been playing for years. No issues with running out of shuffles since I like the challenge. The buy more shuffles option keeps this a free game. You either have to pay for the game or use in app purchases. These developers don't work for free. Not sure what I'm going to do when I finish the 500 sets. Maybe the developer could at that point sell us another 500? This is the best Mahjong in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Uzdiaspora.com *2025-12-23, version 2.9* Simply amazing. Especially good to play while listening to podcast of your choice. I even advertise them on my telegram channel. ### 5/5 — Dreading the Final Level *2025-12-07, version 2.9* Been playing for years. I don’t go to the next game until I complete a level in under 3 minutes. I just wish the game would refresh between devices. Once I get to the end…I will be very sad, the game seems like someone created it and then forgot about it and once I get under the time on every level it will be finished. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossible puzzles *2026-05-18, version 2.9* Been playing for years. Suck on puzzle 997 seems it’s designed to get us to pay for undo’s or hints. Complete rip off ### 1/5 — Absolutely way too many ads *2025-11-06, version 2.8* The purpose of the game is to be relaxing as you flow from game to game not wait 5 minutes for irrelevant ads. Not worth my time ### 1/5 — Download *2025-10-04, version 2.8* It won’t download. ### 1/5 — Control *2025-09-28, version 2.8* If you don’t spend money on moves it is impossible to win!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Shameful Business Practices *2025-06-24, version 2.7* Shame on the developers of this app and shame on Apple for allowing these types of apps the ability to collect in app purchases. My mother loves playing this game. However, this app has a deceptive button at the bottom of the game that comes up when she is done with the game. She thinks that she is restarting the game but instead is purchasing an additional tile for a $1.99. I activated in app purchase blocking but somehow she is still able to click the button. It’s despicable that this type of deceptive business practice is allowed. This should be a no star review. ### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service *2025-05-16, version 2.7* I love playing this game and would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact that I am having a problem with it and I cannot get their support to respond to my request for assistance! ### 1/5 — Broken after Apple update 17.7.7 *2025-05-16, version 2.7* The app does not get registered into the list of all apps in settings. The app does not register progress, reversing to the first game every time I exit the program. Apple broke the app. Reloading did not fixed the game. The audio is broken too. Sending my review is broken! ### 1/5 — This game is rigged! *2025-02-13, version 2.7* When you run out of moves, all of a sudden like magic a move shows up and usually for a couple of moves then you lose. ### 1/5 — More stars *2025-02-06, version 2.7* Imposible to see one piece way under other pieces not fair game repair the format ### 1/5 — I had to see for myself *2025-01-13, version 2.7* I read a review that said that after playing and running out of shuffles THE GAME OFFERS TO SELL YOU 2 shuffles for $2.99. More shuffles for more money. INSANE. I am definitely deleting this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-08-25, version 2.9* Great game I want to use all the levels in this specific mahjong ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-21, version 2.9* Good game, challenging and the ads are not longer than the game just played. In fact, it takes seconds to go from ad to the next game. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-08-19, version 2.9* Mahjong is good for the mind as well as for the nerves! This ap is good because it provides the game without any distractions and advertising. Those ads don’t actually work and are a waste of money. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-07-17, version 2.9* One of the best Mahjongs I have played so far.... endlessly rewarding. ### 5/5 — Mahjöng *2026-06-30, version 2.9* mahjong is a wonderful game to play so many challenging puzzles that I can play. I can put my mind skills to mah-jongg anything I’m struggling with. It actually helps me it’s a calm game for people to play. You should try it. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2026-06-18, version 2.9* Love this game! ### 5/5 — SHAIKH Wazir *2026-06-05, version 2.9* This Game is very Good for Memory ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-05-20, version 2.9* Definitely the best mahjong game on the app store. It’s harder than other games, but if you’re smart you should be able to play well enough. You can actually feel your brain consuming calories while playing this game. It’s simple, hard, no ads, I love it. ### 5/5 — Just start over *2026-05-13, version 2.9* Love this games. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-10, version 2.9* I love this mah jong. No ads! It’s really good until you get into the 1000+ level when it just becomes too hard. But that’s ok, just delete the game and start over. Always fun, challenging, and no silly bells and whistles - just plain mah jong solitaire. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
