### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-07-11, version 1.5.3*

Best game I’ve played! 
Been playing over 12 years and it’s still entertaining, and addictive!!

### 5/5 — Silly Tale

*2022-03-28*

I’m upgrading my review now that this game is compatible with the latest IOS update. Don’t take so long next time an update needs to be done. 
I love, love this game. The other Majong games are to easy and I always win. I like the challenge this Silly Tale gives me.😀it’s no fun to win every game.

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2017-10-11*

I love this but needs an update so it can be used on iphone with new 11 iOS update. Please do this! I miss playing this on my phone.

### 1/5 — TOTAL SCAM!!!!

*2015-03-12*

After you're hooked...... and Halfway through the game.....when you reach the called board "7 thousand" its designed so that you must buy shuffles to finish it. 

i find that disgusting!!!! I bought the paid version and I downloaded the free version and played both; They are identical! You still can't get past the the board "7 thousand", and the paid app doesn't come with shuffles!!  Now they made yet another VERSION upgrading the graphics but NOTHING ELSE has changed. UNBELIEVABLE.  

I love a very, VERY DIFFICULT mahjong game, that is....in otherwords, if you make I wrong move = game over. I love that!.... BUT....when AFTER deleting 1 set of matching titles and it tells you "no more moves".....   WHAT A SCAM!!!

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: Stop making games! and trying to scam people out of money!!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-11-27, version 1.3*

Really enjoying the app, but wish the instructions included some information on how to unlock levels beyond the initial four.

### 5/5 — Like it

*2013-11-28*

Very nice game

### 3/5 — Pretty good, hard to win

*2013-11-20*

It appears that there is a high incidence of tiles next to, or stacked directly under, identical tiles. This makes it harder to clear the board. It also forgets settings for sound and music between instances of the app.

### 5/5 — Best brain

Keep your brain stimulated with entertainment and avoid alhimerziers disease.
