MAHJONG POINTS The easy way to score Hong Kong mahjong. Tap the tiles in your winning hand and the app works out the fan, the points, and who wins what, then keeps a running four-player scoreboard for the whole night. Made for players who never learned to count the score. TAP YOUR TILES, GET THE SCORE Tap the real tiles you are holding and the winning patterns are detected automatically, from Common Hand and All Triplets to Full Flush and the big limit hands. A live readout shows your total fan and points as you build the hand. SEE EXACTLY WHY Tap the score for a full breakdown: every pattern that counted, the fan it is worth, and how the total converts to points. No more arguments at the table. HOW YOU WON Choose self-draw or by discard, set your seat wind and the round wind, and flag special wins like concealed hand, robbing the kong, last catch, or a heavenly or earthly hand. The result updates instantly. FOUR-PLAYER SCOREBOARD Record each win and every player's running total updates, with a leader crown, one-tap undo, and separate seasons to keep different nights apart. Swipe to remove a hand, drag to reorder, and tap any past hand to review the exact tiles it was made from — or load it straight back into the calculator. TEN TILE SETS Choose the artwork that looks like the set on your table: Wood, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Japan, Neon, Bronze, Clockwork, Stone or Cartoon. It changes the tiles everywhere, including hands you share. SHARE A HAND Turn any hand or the standings into a single image — the tiles, the patterns, the fan and the result — ready to drop into a chat. SCAN YOUR TILES (BETA) Lay your tiles in a row, take a photo, and the app reads them for you. Everything runs on your device: no account, no upload, no server. This is a beta feature and it does misread tiles, flowers and seasons especially, so you check and correct every tile before it is added. CHEAT SHEET A plain-language glossary of every scoring pattern, ordered cheapest to dearest and searchable, with the Chinese name alongside. Tap a pattern to load an example hand straight into the calculator. THREE LANGUAGES English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Medan Hokkien — the tile names stay in Chinese throughout. The app follows your phone's language on first launch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, and no data collected. There are no servers: your scores, seasons and settings live in a plain file on your device, and photos you scan are read on the phone and never stored or sent anywhere. Sharing a hand creates an image only when you ask for it, and you choose where it goes. Works on iPhone and iPad.
