I feel like it’s testing our frustration levels. I like to figure out how to win each game. Being that there are duplicated character tiles on top of each other, I think there should be a viewing ability to see what’s underneath each set of tiles. I would like to see a replay of the same game, to see what I can remember from the previous game played. Each game should be numbered, so I have a record of the games played. With these additional features I would have rated this game five stars. ### 1/5 — Ads *2020-11-29, version 1.0.2* The ads that pop up every time you start a new game are extremely annoying. I will be deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Offensive advertising *2019-10-14, version 1.0.2* I am accustomed to being exposed to advertising that supports free games, but I was truly disappointed and surprised to be subjected just now to the lewd graphic images that accompany an add for an “adult game.” Please be more sensitive! ### 3/5 — Good game *2019-02-14, version 1.0.2* I like this game. I do not like the fact that it takes so long to get another game up after one is completed. I see no place to get it going again. If there is a secret I wish someone would let me in on it. ### 1/5 — Un-winnable *2018-11-26, version 1.0.2* You can’t even win if you use “show moves”. Why don’t you fix it? ### 5/5 — It’s great - don’t understand the complaints *2018-10-08, version 1.0.2* This is a REALLY great version of Mahjong and is the same as the popular Free Mahjong website which I’ve played and enjoyed for years. I’m thrilled I can now get it on my iPad! I don’t understand why people are complaining about ads on a free app that offers a ‘Remove Ads’ feature for a small fee. Or because it’s ‘difficult’. How are the people who made it expected to be rewarded? At least with the app you can remove the ads, unlike the website, and the difficulty is part of the charm, and always has been. Don’t listen to the negativity, if you like the website version, you’ll love this version too. ### 1/5 — 1 *2018-10-08, version 1.0.2* Constantly interrupting the game for an advertisement. ## Frequently asked questions about Original Mahjong™ ### What is Original Mahjong™?
