What happened to my purchases? ### 5/5 — Hours of Fun *2013-03-27, version 1.1.0* I'm really enjoying this game. It reminds me of how much I miss Rahjongg. This game would be great with a changing set up like a Puzzle Mode. ### 4/5 — OK *2013-01-29, version 1.1.0* I rate this app an OK....OK In tile size, OK in tile design, OK in sound effects and the people's cheers and polite applause as you win. And, you WILL win a lot in this game because tiles only need some rules of neighborhood and geometry to match. BUT, I would give it a 5 if we could change the lay outs, or the tile design or maybe some light Muzak to give the synapses a boost! I know it's for free, but we are quickly spoilt here! ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-11-22, version 1.1.0* LOVE it. ### 5/5 — Zen Twins *2012-07-16, version 1.1.0* A delightful relaxing game. Perfect for long waits in the doctor's office! ### 5/5 — Addicted and loving it *2012-05-22, version 1.1.0* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Great shi-sen-shi *2011-11-27, version 1.1.0* This is very good version of an ageless classic. The tile graphics are not only pretty, but easily distinguishable one from another. I would like to see a pause button if there is a next version, but that,s the only negative I've found after two weeks of using this app ### 4/5 — Enjoyable way to pass time *2011-07-20, version 1.1.0* This game is, quite simply, gorgeous. The tiles look three-dimensional; the sounds are light and musical. Gameplay is simple and straightforward: match tiles that can be connected along a line with fewer than three turns. Pre-set board sizes are built in, from tiny to enormous (the tiles get a little tough to see in that one). I dinged the game for two reasons: 1). I'd like to have multiple tilesets, for a little variety. 2). Upon successful completion, there is some annoying clapping and cheering. A way to turn that off (without disabling all sounds) would be verrrrry nice. For the price, though, this is a worthy app. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2011-05-16, version 1.1.0* This is my favorite app. It is so mellow and the game is so addictive! ### 3/5 — N *2011-03-25, version 1.1.0* Needs more variety boring after awhile Three stars ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Zen twins *2014-11-20, version 1.1.3* Finally fixed it. Took you long enough, buy glad you did. ### 1/5 — OS update PLEASE *2014-11-05, version 1.1.0* This WAS one of my favorite games but now I can play one game at a time - and then wait several hours for something to clear/reset. Please release and update. ### 1/5 — Needs fixed for ios 8 *2014-10-27, version 1.1.0* FIX PLEASE! I gave this 5 stars before but with ios8 nothing works. Have tried reloading several times but locks up on the first game. PLEASE UPDATE!!!!! My previous comments: I play a lot of mahjong type games and this one is very nice. The directions are easy to understand and the tiles are easy to see. Some other games have tiles that are very artsy looking, but hard to match. You can also change the board sizes if you want something more challenging. This is a little different than regular mahjong matching and is a nice change of pace. ### 1/5 — Ah *2014-09-26, version 1.1.0* It used to be a great game until OS update. And instructions for a work around that do not work. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Broke in ios8 *2014-09-25, version 1.1.0* The app no longer works in ios8. Until they get it fixed, don't bother downloading. ### 1/5 — IOS 8 *2014-09-24, version 1.1.0* Does not work with iOS 8. ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 8! *2014-09-20, version 1.1.0* This formerly five-star app is broken after updating to iOS 8. The game played to an end point, where it reported "0” moves left and completely locked up. It is now unresponsive to touch commands, will not restart after deactivation. I don't know how it would respond in a win situation since the problem appeared on the first game attempted. ### 1/5 — Only one quick board *2014-03-31, version 1.1.0* I bought this app because it advertised changing the size of the board. However, there is only one small board. Not as shown. ### 1/5 — Zen Twins *2012-08-02, version 1.1.0* Needs different layouts. The same layouts become boring very quickly. ### 1/5 — Having trouble downloading. *2012-07-25, version 1.1.0* Please help! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game broken by iOS8 *2023-01-06, version 1.1.3* Broken under iPadOS and iOS 16.2. The last tile or the Game menu crashes the app. An older version enables play under iOS8. Thank you very much. Great game. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-07-16, version 1.1.3* Another commenter described Zen Twins as “digital heroin.” I agree. ### 5/5 — Very good game, I wish they would make one small addition *2017-09-17, version 1.1.3* This is a very good version of shisen-sho. A good game to play when waiting or when you have down time. I would enjoy the game more if there was a way to turn off timing. That change would make this game good for stress relief as one could just play at a leisurely pace (I've enjoyed shisen-sho on Linux for several years. Except for the inability to turn off scoring this version is much better than the Linux version). ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-09-29, version 1.1.3* I enjoy this version of mahjong more than the regular one. Only improvements I would like would be a two layer game and hints for when I get really stuck! ### 5/5 — Beautiful & Fun *2015-10-11, version 1.1.3* Love this app! Wish there was an iMac version too! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2015-09-23, version 1.1.3* Only played two games and gave it 5 stars!! Love it already, thanks ### 5/5 — Zen Twins *2015-08-05, version 1.1.3* This Mahjong game is soo addictive that me and my wife take turns playing it!! Very unique strategies in the game . Thanks guys. Might need new updates to add some more levels and maybe add more tiles and some cool upgrades to make it more challenging !! Great game keep it coming !!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite app works again!!! *2015-05-03, version 1.1.3* Beware! This app is Digital Heroin! Once you start...you are hooked. Thanks for getting it working again. I missed it so much! ### 5/5 — Yay!! It's fixed!! *2014-12-07, version 1.1.3* So VERY glad it's fixed. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2014-09-25, version 1.1.0* Since I updated to ios8 I can no longer play this game that I love playing. I can play one game does not give me my score to continue playing .when will there be an update to fix the bugs?My husband and I USED to challenge each other but since we updated we can't play. I have done what they said to do, uninstall turn I pad off and turn back on doesn't work.
