### 5/5 — 최고의 마작

*2025-08-22*

마작을 중국에가서 배웠는데, 한국에서도 할수있어서 너무 좋아요. 돈을 조금 써야하지만, 그래도 이렇게 재밌게 마작을 할수있어서좋아요. 설명도친절히 잘 되어있어요! 하지만 배터리소모율이 너무 커요 ㅜㅜ

### 3/5 — It’s not  Chinese Trafitional!

*2024-09-16*

The description is misleading.

This game plays MRC rules, not classica or traditional mahjong.

### 1/5 — Ads wont play

*2024-05-11*

Ads wont play if you are in the game during the cut off time. You’ll need to exit the game and wait for the cut off to pass in order to get the ads. Pls fix this.

### 5/5 — 다 좋습니다

*2024-02-21*

마작은 언제나 환영이죠
게다가 한글화라뇨.. 최곱니다ㅋㅋ
다만… 판 끝날때마다 광고가 뜨는건
따로 유료결제로 없앨 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다

### 4/5 — 재미있는데 노래들으면서 하고싶네요..

*2023-05-29*

아이폰만 그런건진 모르겠는데 
게임과 동시에 백그라운드 음악재생이안됩니다
노래들으면서 출근길에 즐기고 싶은데 그게안되서 안타깝네요

### 5/5 — 재밌어요.

*2023-05-26*

게임 넘 만족하면서 하고 있습니다. 재밌고 좋은데 게임시 발열이 심하고 배터리 소진이 너무 빠르네요

### 5/5 — 최고의마작 정말 최고입니다.

*2022-12-29*

마작 초보에게 정말 유용한 앱입니다.
혼자서 연습할수도있어서 잘 이용하고있습니다.
앞으로 점점 발전하길 기대해봅니다.
초보연습 할때 뭘버리면좋을지 추천해주는 기능도 있으면좋겠습니다.

### 5/5 — 최고에요

*2022-12-22*

갑자기 마작이 하고 싶어서 찾았는데. 대박입니다.
점수 계산도 자동으로 해주고 룰도 배울수 있어서 좋고. 컴퓨터외에 다른 분들과 같이 게임을 할수 있다니 너무 좋네요

### 5/5 — 마작

*2022-10-06*

요즘 제가 빠져있는 최애게임입니다 너무 재밌어요
한국어버전으로 할수있어서 더 재밌어요!!!
다만 아쉬운건 아이폰12프로 사이드부분 잘려서 안보여요ㅠㅠ 게임하는데 지장은 없지만 아쉬운부분입니다~

### 4/5 — 음악들으면 앱먹통됨 ㅠㅠ

*2022-08-08*

음악 들으면서 게임은 못하네요.. 유튜브 뮤직 틀고 게임하려는데 게임이 먹통되네요.. 환경설정 소리 다끄거나 재시작해도 똑같아요.. 음악을 들으면서 마작을 치는 행위는 사치인걸로..
