### 4/5 — Jogos com mais peças

*2026-06-18*

Gosto muito, mas poderiam oferecer mais jogos com maior quantidade de peças como por exemplo o PANDORA’S BOX. Só falta isso para pontuaçāo 5 estrelas. Obrigada

### 3/5 — WAS the Best Mahjong Tile Game

*2026-05-21, version 4.0.3*

I downloaded this game about 7 or so years ago, possibly longer. Was hands down the best free game in the App Store. I play it almost every night for years before I go to bed. Tonight… have to wait and watch an advertisement between games. Soooooo disappointed. I had a good run, thanks for years of enjoyment. Guess I will have to find something else to look at before retiring to bed. Thanks for years of entertainment.

### 3/5 — too many ads

*2026-01-10, version 4.0.3*

I am so done with all the ads after each game!

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2025-12-25, version 4.0.3*

In getting this game of tile to download on any iPhone, look at the some other source that tampering with the system in using the arm64/e thinks he or she has the control of what I can do I. My device. The looser has struck again!

### 4/5 — Warning!  Some ads are explicit porn!

*2025-12-12, version 4.0.3*

Game is great, but just a warning:  the pop up ads between levels can contain explicit PORN!  I wouldn’t just let your kids play this without supervision.

### 2/5 — Disaster “improvements “

*2025-09-29, version 4.0.3*

From a great clean game to horrendous updates!  What a load of feces!

### 2/5 — Schönes Spiel?

*2025-09-18*

Es müssen Cookies akzeptiert werden, dann wird einem obendrein noch Werbung auf‘s Auge gedrückt und das nicht zu wenig. Ist schon abartig. Ich habe hier im AppStore noch kein Spiel gefunden wo man nicht getrackt wird und nicht exorbitant viel Werbung enthalten ist. Sicher, Werbung finanziert das ganze, aber hier steht das in keinem Verhältnis.

### 5/5 — 2million

*2025-06-05, version 4.0.3*

Love the game.  Tibolt is fun once you learn how to work with it.  Just don’t touch the tile until you have a pair in sight.  The more wrong tiles you hit the faster Tibolt goes.  I have cleared over 2,000,000 points by being patient and touching only the tiles I see a pair for.

### 4/5 — Nice relaxing game

*2025-05-18, version 4.0.3*

I only play the relaxation mode which for me is perfect. Sometimes the number of tiles gets ridiculously large but in general the variety of the layouts works for me. The only thing missing is how many layouts I have solved.

### 4/5 — Great Game but the the Royal Kingdom as goes on for minutes

*2025-04-08, version 4.0.3*

I got this app before ads, but your ads are short and bearable. Royal Kingdom runs ads that never cease till I leave app.

### 2/5 — New ads - ugh

*2025-04-01, version 4.0.3*

Used to be good. As of the last few days, the ads now play sound, take up more time, and are much harder to skip/dismiss.

### 1/5 — Frozen game

*2026-06-27, version 4.0.3*

Have had to delete this game and lose all my progress as it froze. Have now installed and deleted it twice more and it still freezes so I can’t even get on level one now!

### 1/5 — Unfair

*2026-04-23*

Too many shuffles in the last seconds… and you loose !

### 1/5 — Friends Request always popping up

*2026-01-12, version 4.0.3*

I do like Mahjong a lot but, right after my first level, I was not able to move on to the 2nd level due to the Friend Request came up and would not allow me to play the second level unless I submit a friend request. Not going to be forced into requesting anyone for this game just to keep playing. Not going to happen!!

### 1/5 — Unmutes for ads

*2025-11-26, version 4.0.3*

Keeps adding more and more ads, but the insult is that you can have the game set to mute, but it unmutes for every ad shown between levels

### 1/5 — Tilebot is very frustrating.

*2025-09-06, version 4.0.3*

I have played this game for years and have enjoyed competing with Tilebot but lately the speed at which Tilebot completes a games is totally unrealistic. I have not been able to progress past level 114 for the past two months and it has become quite frustrating. So I am deleting after enjoying it up to this point. If you want an exercise in frustration then get this game if not then take a pass.

### 1/5 — Impossible at Higher Levels

*2025-06-02, version 4.0.3*

I’ve enjoyed this game off and on for YEARS, and have finally had enough.  The game speeds up ridiculously faster (in-humanly fast) when you get up in the higher levels.  I find it impossible to win when the “computer” is playing at inhuman speeds.  I’m done… game is deleted.

### 1/5 — In the past

*2025-04-24, version 4.0.3*

This was once a very fine game, today it is little more than the cheesy 90’s adware we all loathed.

### 1/5 — Long ads that cannot be closed

*2025-04-21, version 4.0.3*

The ad structure has changed so now I cannot close ads until they play all the way through.  I have to shut the game down and reopen to get rid of them and get a new game.

### 1/5 — Would be better...

*2025-04-05, version 4.0.3*

I love this game, it is seriously addictive, but the ADS!!

### 1/5 — Let me play already😫😫😫😫😫

*2024-11-07, version 4.0.3*

I just got this game and when I went to play it I saw a continue sign and when I clicked on it IT WILL NOT CLICK.  So then I deleted some games I didn’t play and then I went back to play again and then IT STILL WON’T WORK. So yeah, Just asking you can you please please please fix this. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2026-08-05, version 4.0.3*

Much more challenging than any other Mahjong game I’ve played.

### 5/5 — The best one I found so far!

*2026-05-17, version 4.0.3*

All the others I tried are too easy and just get a bit boring after a bit. This one gets increasingly difficult due to the different levels. And although there are ads (I understand they need to make a living) they not tedious and they easy to click away, unlike a lot of other mahjong games.

### 5/5 — Much relaxation

*2026-01-20, version 4.0.3*

Good

### 5/5 — BEST Mahjong

*2026-01-19, version 4.0.3*

This is by far the best Mahjong I have ever played. I will only play this one.

### 5/5 — der Klassiker,

*2025-12-23*

Update 
Nach Jahren, in denen ich das Spiel gerne gespielt habe, ist es inzwischen unspielbar geworden. 
Man muss quasi Angst haben, ein Puzzle komplett zu lösen, denn dann droht eine Werbepause… geschätzte 20 Sekunden, ohne einen Fortschrittsbalken. Wird es je aufhören, fragt man sich… Die Werbung führt dann zudem auch noch dazu, dass sich die App beim Laden des neuen Puzzles aufhängt. Sehr schade. 
————-
gut umgesetzt. In alle Richtungen drehbar, Grössenänderung, nutzt die Möglichkeiten des IPods. Schöner Bildhintergrund - vielen Dank für das kostenlose Spiel!

### 5/5 — ADS

*2025-11-26, version 4.0.3*

This game is very fun
But it has lotsss of adss
Fix that and it’s a fun perfect game to play when you are settling down for bed in bed or anywhere else fix ads🤞🤞🤞🥳🥳🥳🥳😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘🙃😉😌🙂😘🤓😏😏😏

### 5/5 — Rating for Mahjong Lite

*2025-10-01, version 4.0.3*

I absolutely love this version better than any. It's dimensional and it gets much harder as you get up into higher levels. If you like challenges this is your game to play. I will say sometimes I can see the person you’re paying against sometimes seems like it goes wayyy faster when you get to higher levels it feels a bit cheaty. But I came back to it and started over from scratch after getting to like level 230.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2025-09-18, version 4.0.3*

Love this game it’s very relaxing not much of brain work I have had this app for years now I’m still enjoying playing it

### 5/5 — Minimum ads!!!

*2025-08-31, version 4.0.3*

Can play without constant ads, no repetitive ads or 2 min ads…just game playing. Because of repetitive ads and commercials I uninstalled the games that rely on ads and not the enjoyment of the game.

### 5/5 — Mahjong

*2025-08-18, version 4.0.3*

Great exercise for hands and memory coordonation
