What's New in TileBuddy

1.10

September 2, 2026

Want to scan a hand without starting a game? There's a new Scan tab. Point the camera at a hand and TileBuddy reads the tiles and scores them. No players, no seats, nothing to set up. Works in both Hong Kong and Taiwanese. Also in this update: • New bottom navigation: Track, Scan, Wiki, You • Switch between Hong Kong and Taiwanese from any screen • You can now switch rulesets while a game is running. The game you're tracking keeps the style it started with • The Taiwanese wiki has a search, and the Taiwanese score screen has a wiki button (Hong Kong has had one for a while) • The daily scan counter now shows how many you have left • Android: the game setup screens no longer sit under the system buttons

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
