This app has helped me really learn how to play ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-24, version 1.0.13* This is the most user friendly app I’ve ever used. I learned it myself in about 5 minutes and won my first game in my first session. As a beginner this app is really helpful.

I’ve tried other apps and this one is way better and easier to use. No complaints! ### 1/5 — Can’t arrange tiles *2026-08-13, version 1.0.15* Can’t move and arrange tiles. As a beginner, I can’t see the patterns ### 1/5 — Directions not clear *2026-08-07, version 1.0.15* Not visually pleasing ### 3/5 — American Mahjong Only *2026-06-19, version 1.0.12* Interesting as a concept. It’s cool that it teaches you and has simulations and single player. It should be called The American Mahjong App. It’s the only Mahjong game you can play. ### 4/5 — Good mahjong app *2026-07-27, version 1.0.15* This is a really good app for playing at home My only complaint is that I seldom get jokers while the bots are constantly discarding them. ### 4/5 — Good for Practice *2026-06-21, version 1.0.12* It should allow you to arrange your tiles as you wish, but it doesn’t that’s the only flaw for the rest is great ### 4/5 — Screen Size Issues? Love the game- *2026-06-11, version 1.0.11* Fun! But lately having issues- especially when I’m East. It’s as if my screen (iPhone 16) is too small- discard button not accessible. Finding the solution is to forfeit the hand- and let another player be East. ### 4/5 — Exposures larger *2026-05-17, version 1.0.7* The exposures for my opponents was larger. I am missing jokers to take. Otherwise, the app works well. ### 4/5 — Seems like a good App but… *2026-05-04, version 1.0.1* This is not really a review but a comment: Currently I’m trying to play on a Mac M2 and I have to squint to even try to see the suggested hands. Can that font be enlarged? ### 4/5 — Annoying animated Bam bird *2026-05-04* I’ve only played one game. However, I like the flexibility of being able to arrange the tiles. I like that you can see all the players and what has been discarded. What I don’t like is the animated Bam Bird. Very annoying. If you are going to have that animated why aren’t the Jokers animated, or what about roaring dragons. Doing the latter is not a suggestion. In my opinion the animation distracts from the game. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! FYI you can turn off the Bird Bam animation in Settings. Please let me know if you have any other feedback or suggestions (hello@themahjongapp.com). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2026-08-14, version 1.0.15* Great way to practice and learn to see patterns. Love this app! ### 5/5 — Outstanding and free! *2026-08-10, version 1.0.15* I love this app. It gives you real time practice.

I like that you can customize if you want to play with blanks or not. And I appreciate that it helps to highlight the tiles you might need for specific hands.
