App’s AI tells you to do something, such as discard a particular tile, but does not explain why disc

App’s AI tells you to do something, such as discard a particular tile, but does not explain why discarding that tile is good strategy / tactics. Hard to learn when no one is explaining the why.

Will not help you learn - no tutorial

This app won’t teach you Mahjong. It puts you immediately into a game and the hints tell you which tiles to discard/play, but doesn’t explain why or anything about what is going on. No explanation of gameplay, rules, tiles, or anything else to help you actually learn the game.

Not for beginners

Firstly, the font is so small at the bottom that I can’t read the tile the ‘tutor’ is telling me to discard, and I’ve gotten it wrong several times now. Secondly, there is no tutoring going on at all. Telling me which tiles to ‘discard’ (I guess that means ‘play’) without telling me why leaves me totally clueless about what’s going on. Pass.

Cant make melds?

Can’t for the life of me, figure out how to take the discard tiles and put them together with ones in my hand.

Gameplay

This game moves in the clockwise direction. Mahjong is played in the counter clockwise direction. Need to correct.

Thank you for correcting this issue.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Tiles now play in counter-clockwise order after version 1.1.8.
