### 3/5 — Needs updating to 2024 card

*2024-09-24, version 7.0*

Needs updating to 2024 card and then it would get five stars.

### 3/5 — Name the hands ?

*2024-09-13*

It’s a great aid but why are the tile combinations of suggested winning hands not named ?

### 2/5 — OUT OF DATE

*2024-09-07, version 7.0*

I cannot improve my game (non competitive !) without the current card. It is useless otherwise as I do not have older cards.

### 5/5 — 2024 Card

*2024-04-08, version 7.0*

Hello Zach,

Can you tell us when to expect the 2024 card to be added to your app?
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-12-04, version 7.0*

Thank you for updating to 2023 card. I hope to use you again in 2024! What makes this app so useful is that you can input the tiles to see the possible hand combinations. This is exactly what I was looking for to help my nine-year-old niece, learn about hands and to play the game. We had previously limited to playing a computer game to give her hand options, but now with this app, we can move to the real tiles to play against each other. As we are playing, she can now use my iPhone to assist her, until game improves. This is also good for new adult learners too. It could even help more advanced players figure out how to switch between hands. I really appreciate your work in creating this wonderful resource.

### 5/5 — Thank you for the update!!

*2022-11-28, version 6.0*

I love this app, even better with the 2022 card! Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Where’s the 2022 card?!

*2022-09-08, version 3.0*

Great concept, but not useful without the current 2022 card!

### 5/5 — Great practice

*2022-04-06, version 3.0*

Looking forward to update with 2022 card please

### 5/5 — Great teaching tool!

*2020-07-12, version 2.2.1*

This app is really helping me gain confidence and better pick mahjong hands.
