First off, the game itself is pretty fun. I was hooked from the start. I went over a month of playing without spending money. I kept collecting coins that I barely used. It was when I got to the harder levels that I ran into trouble. I kept having to use my coins on shuffles. I ran out of coins pretty quickly. I decided to pay just $3 to open my piggy bank. That didn’t last long. I then decided to do a cheap day trip bundle. I ran out of that pretty quickly as well. I eventually got a point where I couldn’t move forward without doing shuffles, which I didn’t have enough coins for. I think it’s worth it to spend a few dollars every so often if you really enjoy an app, but I didn’t want to spend all my money on this game. At the very least, I think they should lower the number of coins you need for a shuffle. The first shuffle is 90 coins, and then it costs more if you have to shuffle more to beat a level. That eats up the coins you earn very quickly. I eventually found a different Mahjong game that doesn’t have in-app purchases. I’m kinda sad to leave this game because I really liked it. It’s just too pricey.

This game was a blast! At first. Until the day I decided to purchase their city pass and there was a glitch in the app that made it as if I hadn’t purchased anything. Ok, I get it, things happen. Should be easy to just reach out to the developer to fix and I’m sure they’ll be more than willing to correct this. Lol. Nope! Send a screen shot of your purchase. Ok. Done! Oh, we ‘recommend’ that you reach back out when the purchase is no longer pending. Lol. Ok. Now I’m getting irritated. Don’t tell me what you recommend. Tell me what your policy is. Anyways, at this point the even is almost over and I’ve asked for a refund and yes, sent a screen shot of the complete purchase that they “recommend” since I’m apparently a criminal. Lol. I’m not going to battle them over $7.57 but I would like to warn everyone to not be tempted to make any purchases. If the app glitches, you’re screwed out of your money. And it will be a pain to recoup. If you’re prepared and have disposable income, more power to ya! Also, their “online support” is slower than molasses and you don’t get any notifications when they respond. You just have to leave the app open, go to info and leave that screw open all day as if you have nothing better to do with your time. Good luck!

I love this game! But since the latest update, I’ve been encountering some issues.1. On the day of the update, I had purchased 24 hours of lives with in-game coins. When I updated the app (because I tend to be careless and just hit “update all” because why not?), I lost the rest of the time that I had. I realize this is partially my fault, I should’ve thought ahead, but this was extremely frustrating.2. Lately, I’ve been having issues with the lives. I’ll go hours, like overnight, without playing, and when I open the app, sometimes it’ll say I either have 0 or 4 lives, and the timer for a new life will start. It’s especially irritating when it says 0, as I’ve waited all this time to play and now I have to wait even more. This never used to be a problem for me.3. I’ve also had issues with the videos for lives. Lately when I’ve tapped on it, it says something along the lines of “a video is available every 30 minutes”, despite me not having watched a video in the past 30 minutes. Also, I just watched a video, as I had 2 minutes before my next life and I figured that by the time I watched the video and played the round with the free life, my next one would be ready, and when I finished the video, the timer had started over! This didn’t used to happen before either, and it’s disappointing, as I enjoy playing and would like to receive my lives when I’m supposed to.Other than these new issues, it’s a great game!

The amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. I understand that getting something for free you’re going to have to sacrifice a little but holy cow it’s infuriating. I would play this game more if not for that. I like the game itself but the amount of ads make it almost unplayable. As soon as you open the app you are bombarded with 10 different things to buy, as soon as you finish a level, and/or attempt a level you get another advertisement you have to close out of 3 or 4 different times and the X is so small you inadvertently click the ad itself and get redirected to a page you never meant to go to in the first place. It’s almost like they don’t want you to play the game. It is so so frustrating I’ve contemplated not playing it at all but if you could fix this or cut them even in half it would be more doable. If you don’t plan to spend any money just be prepared to spend the majority of your time in this app watching ads, mostly about games that have no ads, isn’t that ironic.
