What's New in TileBuddy

2.0

October 21, 2026

Leagues are here. Run a season with your regular table, right in TileBuddy. - Create a league and invite players with a code or a link. Hosting needs Premium; joining is free. - Score league games from Track. Standings, top hands and each player's stats update for everyone. - Hong Kong or Taiwanese rules, the same for every game in the league. Set a minimum number of hands for a game to count. Seasons can be monthly, quarterly or custom. - Guests can claim their games once they make an account. - Get a notification when someone in your league wins a big hand or the top of the standings changes. - Find Leagues on the You tab. Family plan now works on iPhone. Share Premium with up to 4 people for one yearly price. Fixes and improvements - Four into One now scores however the four tiles are split (a pung and a chow, a pair and two chows, and so on), not only as a pung and a chow. - Faster sync. The app opens quicker with a long history, and signing in on a new phone brings your games back much faster, including games friends hosted months ago. - Swapping seats or replacing a player mid-game now credits each hand to the person who played it, on every player's phone. - Taiwanese hands show their tai on every phone instead of 0F. - Delete your account any time: You tab, then the gear, then Delete account. - On a shared phone, each account's player cards, rules and games stay with that account when you switch. - Signing in on a weak connection retries by itself instead of showing "Load failed". - The last rows of long lists are no longer hidden behind the tab bar.

Does not score Chinese

This application will only score Taiwanese and Hong Kong Mah Jong. If you play Chinese Mahjong, you cannot use this application and if you do use it, you’re scoring is incorrect. Do not buy this application if you play Chinese Mahjong. Awaiting a response from the developer to see if he will refund my subscription.

Response from developer

Hi Yginnj, Yes that is true! TileBuddy only scores Taiwanese and Hong Kong Mahjong currently. We do not support Chinese MCR scoring or other variants currently (but it is definitely on the roadmap). Following up on our email communications, happy to refund you the premium subscription as TileBuddy is not serving your need. Best, Wesley TileBuddy Founder

So needed!!!

I have wanted to learn how to score for years and was always overwhelmed by it. This app is EXACTLY what we needed!!!

Great app so far

As a beginner mahjong player this is a great app to learn and keep track of scores.

Love TileBuddy! It’s incredibly easy to use, makes keeping track of scores and winners effortless, and keeps a handy history of all your Mahjong games. A must-have app for any Mahjong HK enthusiast!

Get this app

Does the job! I have tried other apps to image the Tiles for scoring in Hong Kong Mahjong, but this is the only one that does the job really

An added feature, that would be nice would be just a quick scan.

Hoping that is coming with the next app update

Response from developer

Hi Ana! Thanks for your review! Yes, the quick scan feature should be released soon. Stay tuned! EDIT: Quick scan feature has been released
