Love the app, and now that I’ve figured out all the functionality, I’ve found that the only problem is I’m unable to call Mahjong! with Jokers involved in an unexposed line. Exposed lines don’t appear to be a problem, but when I have jokers appropriately involved in sequences in my hidden hand, the app still calls it a Joker Violation. Very frustrating getting stuck with multiple technical wins unable to claim Mahjong!
Developer Response
Hi HSV624! Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback — this is incredibly helpful! We are so sorry you're running into this issue with jokers in unexposed lines. We want to get to the bottom of this right away!! Could you please email us at gamesonly4women@gmail.com with the hands you're having trouble with? Screenshots are always welcome too! We take bug reports very seriously and will look into this immediately! Thank you so much for playing and helping us make Maylee better!
Updated Review! Bug squashed and App now works!
Gabi C esq
The developers worked out the bug that prevent the two free games a day from being played. I enjoy the app now and will probably subscribe since it supports not only the NML card but also the Big Card. The graphics are great and make the game enjoyable. Thank you for the response and prompt attention to making the app functional.
Developer Response
Hi Gabi, thank you so much for taking the time to download and try Maylee Mahjong! You're absolutely right that 2 free games per day should be available, and I'm so sorry that wasn't your experience. The app is still new and this sounds like it could be a bug! We will look into it right away!
Wonderful!!

Love this app! Beautiful tiles and easy to play. I do have a question tho. I was playing with the 2024 card and had the first “any like numbers” line and it wouldn’t let me claim mahjong. I had 2 flowers with 2 jokers and all 3 of a kind. Maybe it didn’t like jokers for flowers? Just wanted to let you know! Thank you so much for making such a great mahjong app! :)
Developer Response
Hi JoJoBro77! Thank you so much or your kind review and this feedback! We will look into the bug you described and try to get an update out to address it asap! Thank you for playing!
Love the app but have a question
photobitty
Definitely the best American Mahjong app I’ve used! One question though, I can’t figure out how to swap a tile for a joker in an opponent’s exposed set. When I have the matching tile, I try to drag it onto their exposed joker to exchange it, but it doesn’t work. Am I missing something?
Developer Response
Hi Photobitty!! Thank you so much for the kind review!! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying the app! The joker swap button is in the top right section of the screen (it looks like two arrows going around in a circle). The button will light up orange during your turn, after you draw, to indicate it's time to swap! We are currently looking for ways to make this more intuitive and user friendly, so stay tuned for updates! In the meantime, if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to us anytime at lkkthompson@gmail.com — we're always happy to help! 🀄
A sneaky validation bug was letting some single-suit hands slide through unchecked! Single-suit hands are now correctly validated every time, just as they should be. Thank you for playing Maylee Mahjong!
