I would like to see one improvement. It would be nice to see the high score displayed for each layout, because some of the layouts are more difficult than others, and the same scores cannot be achieved. ### 3/5 — New music? *2020-10-07, version 2.52* What new music? There is none since updating. ### 3/5 — SOOO Much fun, until it’s not... *2019-06-10, version 2.9* I absolutely LOVE this game!! I enjoy games that challenge me, and this one definitely does that. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because, like a lot of other games, once you get to a certain level, it becomes LITERALLY impossible...I have been playing the “Pyramid” level off and on for LITERALLY 4 years....since I had my second child...and I can’t tell you how many times that level gives me the restart/shuffle option after 1 move...I would say without exaggeration, that for every 20 times I play the level, 10 will result in a restart/shuffle after the 1st move, 6 after the 2nd, and the rest within 5 moves or less. When it gets to that point, the enjoyment goes away. There have been a handful of times (like maybe 4 or 5) that I have gotten to 10 tiles or less after the 2nd shuffle and it stacks the numbers on top of each other so you just can’t win. I think it would be so so much better if there were another shuffle or 2 added for the last few levels. I want to beat this level SO bad, and I don’t think it will ever happen...and when I get to that point, I start deleting stuff...and I don’t want to delete this game, because like I said, I enjoy it a lot. And I understand that it has to get harder and harder, but there has to be some point where it’s not LITERALLY impossible. That’s just my 2 cents... ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2017-03-11, version 2.8* How frustrating can an app be when you are part way through a game when it crashes! Needs some more work. ### 4/5 — Adoro este passatempo,mas.... *2016-12-11, version 2.8* A maioria das vezes que estou jogando,ele fecha, isso dá uma frustração grande,pois é um passatempo que gosto muitíssimo,ñ dou 5 estrelas por esse motivo, que será que acontece? Alguém está com o mesmo problema? ### 4/5 — Жалоба *2016-11-05, version 2.8* Почему постоянно выбивает игру ??? Переустанавливала много раз, но проблема так и не решилась! ### 2/5 — PLEASE, PLEASE fix this!! *2016-05-31, version 2.8* You MUST play all games timed! And you MUST listen to the horrible, horrible music accompaniment! You cannot listen to your own. It cuts it off. ### 4/5 — Love it *2016-05-25, version 2.8* Game works great. You get one reshuffle if you need it. If you want more, you can pay to upgrade and get them. Me, I'm happy with the one. Not every game should be winnable. ### 5/5 — Silly Tale Mahjong *2016-03-30, version 2.8* Birds are quite interesting, a bit hard to solve. It takes perseverance to finally solve them all. Only short coming of this game is there's not enough boards, after you finished all of them and that's it. No more challenge left. ### 2/5 — Very disappointed with this app!! *2015-12-20, version 2.8* Even though I appreciate the challenging aspect of this game, I'm very disappointed with it because there aren't enough shuffles available to actually play the game successfully!! ### 5/5 — Best Mahjong! *2015-11-30, version 2.8* I've tried quite a few different mahjong games, this one has a great screen view, tiles are legible, not a zillion adds. Could not ask for more from a free app👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great, not now *2020-08-21, version 2.51* Must have done an update. App used to remember the exact game, now it doesnt, so if I want a different game, I have to track it. Boo! ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2017-01-29, version 2.8* I love all this reviews are fives. Someone is lying. The board is muddy. Meaning the writing runs together. I like a challenge, but this isn't a challenge, the colors and writings so similar it's hard to play. ### 1/5 — Жалоба *2016-09-09, version 2.8* Мало того, что игра зависла, не сохранив пройденные уровни (пришлось переустанавливать), так вторую неделю просто вылетает - не успеваю открыть. Разработчики, алло! - сделайте что нибудь! И меньше нервотрепки. Уровни должны быть доступны. Это всего лишь игра, приятное времяпрепровождение, а не битва за жизнь. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase in-apps for this *2016-03-16, version 2.8* I purchased in app unlock all did not work, itunes support refused to refund ### 1/5 — Ужасная игра *2016-03-06, version 2.8* Все то, что я долгое время проходила сбилось! И теперь все сложные уровни вновь для меня закрыты, а заново их проходить мне не хочется, поэтому удалила эту игру из своего списка! ### 1/5 — Can't move past level... *2015-08-17, version 2.8* Well so I have to pay to get the tiles to shuffle? That is rude... ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2015-05-18, version 2.8* Game is designed so you will buy shuffles by giving you boards that have no chance of winning, no point other than burning money, better games out there, uninstall!!! ### 1/5 — Scam *2015-03-19, version 2.8* The in-app purchases include THE ABILITY TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE. Otherwise, the app won't reshuffle enough for you to be able to play the game. Will just delete. ### 1/5 — Changes *2014-01-17, version 2.6* This is a beautiful game but you need to let the player the option if you want to use the shuffles or not.It is so aggravating to play and the shuffles happens so fast that you don't have the chance to undo the last move or nothing. Difficult to make a high score and the sad part that you paid for that and is confusing.Please make a note for this is a game that can be improved. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Levels *2013-10-07, version 2.6* It would be nice to be able to get through a level without trying 15 or more times. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2024-08-22, version 2.52* I like you can set the game aside & resme whenever you want! Most of the time I will have a fresh set of eyes! My go to game while I am bored! 🤷‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2021-04-26, version 2.52* Very challenging. Good brain exercise. Need new layout designs ### 5/5 — Never boring! *2021-02-19, version 2.52* I play this nearly every day! It’s free, ever changing and enough different games to keep me happy! ### 5/5 — Seven thousand steps *2020-09-12, version 2.51* A great game all though very hard my best score being 1890, I have just completed a game with 1805 points, but that’s my challenge. ### 5/5 — Отличный маджонг *2020-01-06, version 2.9* Действительно отличный маджонг, ничего лишнего, хорошая музыка и рисовка, без проблем работает на iOS 13. Из недостатков - хотелось бы таблицу рекордов для каждой из раскладок, а не одну на все. ### 5/5 — This is the best of the best *2019-05-18, version 2.9* I love Mahjong and it is my favorite game to play. But this particular one is the Best of the BEST. I love this game, this APP! I love it. I have a lot of other games on IPad but I play this one far more than the rest. I love the music in the background and it is very calming and relaxing. Especially at night before I go to bed and am playing this game, music is so relaxing. I find myself when playing this game that; I keep saying, ok... one more game, one more game. It is hard to quit playing it. If you like Mahjong, you will love this one. Absolutely the best one. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Mahjong Silly Tale *2017-03-02, version 2.8* Well this is a silly tale. I have enjoyed this game very much until recently when it constantly crashes. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Can someone please investigate. Thanks. ### 5/5 — SILLY TALE MAHJONG *2016-12-06, version 2.8* I love the game and all mahjong games which I cannot get on my IPAD. getting back to this game I love it BUT I CANNOT SEEM TO GET PAST THE THREE ONE.
