I pay monthly and with playing a few times a week against the computer, I haven’t won once, even with some great hands, in the last two pay cycles. It does help me practice deciding on my hand, but after that, actually playing the game is just too frustrating to lose every time. ### 2/5 — Too many wall games *2026-08-03, version 2.3* I just played five games in a row (four against the computer and one against real players) and all five in a row ended as wall games. In real life games, I’d say we only wall about 5% of the time. What a waste of time to spend one hour playing, only to wall each game. Also, I don’t like that we have to “skip” every time there is a possibility to call. In another app, you just hit “proceed” continually, which is a better flow. Finally, with the suggested hands, it’s helpful to show the suggestion + the line it completes as other apps do vs just the suggestion. Sometimes I’m playing without my card and it helps to see the line. ### 3/5 — Practice Errors *2026-07-30, version 2.3* Programming needs to be checked for the new card, please. Too many errors! Often won’t allow picking up eligible tile discards … too many jokers thrown away in a row - not realistic or statistically likely. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-25, version 2.3* Excellent tool to learn to play Mah Jongg! ### 4/5 — Small complaint *2026-07-19, version 2.3* I enjoy this app very much, it’s helping to improve my game. But, I think it has some bugs. When I have a Kong, the computer won’t let me slide it up to reveal on certain hands. This has happened twice. Very frustrating! It happened just now on the hand 2468 -4. ### 5/5 — Great Way To Learn Mah Jongg! *2026-07-17, version 2.3* As a beginner, I have found Real Mah Jongg tremendously helpful in learning the basics of the American version of this game. After only a few weeks using the App, I am able to hold my own when playing with much more experienced players. Thank you, Real Mah Jongg! ### 5/5 — Best online mahjong game *2026-07-16, version 2.3* We used Real Mahjong during the pandemic and it made my life feel like everything was normal! ### 2/5 — Difficult to win *2026-07-10, version 2.3* Since coming back to this app a few months ago, the computer wins and usually with no exposures. I have been using it to practice the new card, but it is incredibly frustrating. I played with this app for several years and it was fun. I don’t know if the algorithm was changed, but it’s not that common for the player who wins to have no exposures. Now 95% of the time, that’s the case. ### 5/5 — Great APP!!! *2026-07-06, version 2.3* Great way to learn and play the game of Mah Jongg! ### 5/5 — Real Mah Jongg *2026-07-04, version 2.3* I enjoy playing Real Mah Jongg! It is helping me learn how to play Mahjong. ### 3/5 — No sound setting *2026-06-27, version 2.3* I want to listen to music or an audio book and play but I can’t seem to turn off the sound in the app itself. Bummer ### 5/5 — Real Mah Jongg *2026-06-21, version 2.3* If you love to play, then this is for you. I play nearly everyday. As many times as I want. I play with computers and people ask to join. I very seldom turn anyone away. I love the game and what better way to get to know the card and meet people. Sharpen your skills and have fun. ### 3/5 — A lot of glitches lately *2026-06-17, version 2.3* For a paid app there are a lot of glitches lately, stuck waiting on computer often and can’t reload. Often says it can’t find the internet when I was just using the internet and had not moved from my spot? It is my only paid app and it works the same or worse than free apps ### 5/5 — Mahjongg *2026-06-12, version 2.3* Love this game!! Thanks ### 5/5 — Love Real Mahjongg. Easy for a beginner. *2026-06-12, version 2.3* Love Real Mahjongg. Easy for a beginner. ### 5/5 — A great Maj Jongg game *2026-06-10, version 2.3* A great way to learn the card! ### 2/5 — How do I reset the game *2026-06-05, version 2.3* I can’t call any more and the skip no longer works. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-06-02, version 2.3* Love this app. It has taught me so much about the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-07-26, version 2.3* Impossible to cancel a 14 day trial membership.Had to pay for month and hopefully will be able to cancel. Scam!!!!! ### 1/5 — Hands Repeat *2026-07-25, version 2.3* It deals the same hands over and over again. It’s really not that hard to randomize the hands and for the price of the game, it should do that. I’m not happy. ### 1/5 — Cancel *2026-05-24, version 2.3* Hard to cancel trial ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-05-07, version 2.3* This app is horrible. It skips your option to take a tile. No control because my guess is that the AI thinks it knows what hand you’re playing and skips over what you need. Total waste of time ### 1/5 — Did not recognize mahjonng *2026-03-29, version 2.2* 2468 bottom line not recognized as mahjonng ### 1/5 — WHAT A SCAM! *2025-12-30, version 2.2* I wish I could give a review on this apps game play. But, I can’t! I soon as I click in to play the game, I’m bombarded with signing up and buying a subscription! There was no way to bypass it! Then it offers you a free trial And you can’t get by that screen! They want you to: 1. Sign up 2. Get a subscription 3. Get a free trial So, here’s my answer: DELETED P. D. Q.! ~8*{ ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-12-18, version 2.2* Too expensive ### 1/5 — Worked for a few days… *2025-11-01, version 2.2* I bought the app a few days ago, and yesterday the app would not let me discard tiles.
