### 2/5 — What Happened

*2025-07-02*

Looks like you only get a set number of free games. I got on yesterday to play and last night it wouldn’t load. Then I saw a message saying you 5 free games and then you have to pay! I live the game and started to enjoy playing until I say that message. I’ve found another Mahjong game to play. I’m done with this one.

### 3/5 — Bad connection

*2025-02-21, version 1.11*

This game has a very bad connection

### 2/5 — not good

*2023-08-25, version 1.11*

confusing interface, hard to read tiles on board, tiles don't respond to taps.

### 4/5 — Offline play? And login issue

*2023-08-02*

I love this app, it brings authentic mahjong. However everytime I log in with my google account, I am being forced to log back in every time I open the app, it’s extremely annoying. Also, does this app support offline play?

### 4/5 — Really good mahjong game

*2022-05-29*

I love that I can play against bots.  I haven’t played mahjong in many years so it is great to get back into the game.  I am unfamiliar with some of the designations under the rules beside player games and have not found anywhere I can learn what they mean so haven’t played against other people yet.  Also, for the last two days I haven’t been able to login.  I’ve tried everything I can think of but it doesn’t work.  My internet connection is fine and everything else works.  I do love this game but am very frustrated at this moment.

### 2/5 — Needs improvements

*2022-03-05, version 1.10.2*

Looks too simple

### 3/5 — No single player

*2022-02-24*

Great game but it doesn’t have a single player option even though it clams to

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-11-10*

As a beginner to mahjong I found the app confusing at first but am starting to get into it. So far I have only competed against bots. Can’t find any human players yet. I would get tickets to play longer if I can find out how much they cost and where in the app to purchase. All in all a fine app! Thanks!

### 3/5 — Great starter app for marjong

*2021-07-29*

This app is so enjoyable to learn marjong. I’ve enjoyed it over the year or so that I’ve been playing. It is limited however when you over time acquire a bigger score, the app ‘stops you from winning’ so you can’t progress further with your score -  I definitely wouldn’t be betting money on this app! Also people drop out if they are losing which is annoying so playing the computer is the quickest and most fun way to learn.....

### 4/5 — I’m hooked

*2021-02-10, version 1.10.2*

It’s a tad slow but great for learning strategy

### 4/5 — Difficulty with the game today...

*2021-01-28*

I play this game once a week with 2 friends and a bot.  Today one player lost connection and then the game stalled.  The lost contact was not replaced with a bot.  In the end the winner of the 15 games played noted that her rating went down.  Why?  What is going on with this app?

How can we obtain rules and how points are calculated?

We do enjoy this game since we can not play the actual game with tiles at this time.  We hope the bugs get eliminated.  Thank you.

### 3/5 — Decent app

*2020-12-03*

This app is good because it shows symbols and Arabic numerals at the same time( which is good for me as I do not speak Chinese!) however I have a few major nitpicks with this app. Firstly there is a time restriction for turns which may be good for some but not for me as it does not give me enough time to think during my turn, If you do not discard a tile in the SIX! seconds of your turn then it automatically discards the tile on the far right of your hand which is quite annoying. Secondly, sometimes it doesn’t discard the tile that I select and double tap on to remove, this I a major problem as it got rid of an essential tile to my hand. I guess this is just a glitch but I’m not sure.
Thirdly, it does not seem to offer me games with real people but just bots,and the multiplayer was the whole reason that I got the game as there are not many other multiplayer mahjong games out there. This is a tad annoying for me, and I have not been able to find the friends feature.
But I like the 3D or 2D feature and the many menus and preference settings.

Over all a good app but a few things let it down. I would sort of recommend this app but there are better apps out there.

### 5/5 — Great for learning!

*2020-09-07, version 1.7*

I’m enjoying becoming familiar with the game by playing the bots!

### 5/5 — One of the best mahjong app on the market

*2020-08-12, version 1.7*

One of the best mahjong app on the market

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2020-08-03*

Initially I found that the app with crash and hang mid app, and was close to uninstalling it - however, I am glad I didn’t because after a restart of the device, the re-curing problem has never happened again - so I guess there was some issue with my wireless, that a restart sorted out.  What I love about this app is the ease by which I can play Mahjong with friends with virtually!  If you are into Mahjong then I cant recommend this app enough!

### 1/5 — Mahjong

*2022-08-21, version 1.10.2*

I hate this game don’t let people throw away jokers

### 1/5 — Won’t launch in iOS 11

*2020-10-28, version 1.7*

It looks like there was a patch a few minutes ago.  I’d be a new user, but the app won’t launch for me in iOS 11 (iPad Mini 3).  It just crashes straight back to the desktop.

### 1/5 — Get cheated

*2020-06-17*

This is a great game when it works correctly which is about half of the time.  The “bots” cheat you out of your turn and take your tiles so you can’t go out which lowers your overall score.  I’ve sent emails to the developers and received not reply....a real disappointment.

### 5/5 — Smooth gameplay

*2020-10-30*

fast release of tiles. Keeps you entertained.

### 5/5 — Easy going

*2020-10-07, version 1.7*

I sometimes come back to this app just to play some rounds of Mahjong online. It’s easy going to setup using your FB account or others and then you can just play 👍

For a further version: I really would like to see an update for the graphical elements so that it would look more modern.
