American MahJong Practice 4+

Second updated review… Had issues w app… found the issue was with me! Using app incorrectly! Valuable lesson!! Maybe there shld b a you tube video on how to correctly use app. Now I am using it correctly and still enjoying the app and the practice. It wld hv been helpful to hv more instructions. Appreciate ur response and what I learned from it! Thank u! First review: Enjoy App. Great practice. However major glitch in app. Often (almost every game) I cannot place new tile on rack until I slide one on wall, then discard. Even tho there is a slot for it to b placed. Shld b able to slide new tile on rack and decide my discard. I am forced to slide tile to wall, discard (I get an error notice) and then slide tile I’m keeping back into rack. Pls correct glitch.

Videos are a great idea, until we pull that off email us any questions support@eightbam.com :)

I am new to Mahjong and have found this app to be a very beneficial way to learn the hands and start to see patterns faster. I really like being able to see the potential hands in "real" time and also being able to turn that feature off when I am ready to challenge myself. The controls are hyper sensitive, though, so if I happen to have a finger resting on my iPad in just the wrong spot, tiles will be discarded without me even noticing sometimes. Must. Keep. Fingers. Away. The only real issue I wish would be corrected is that the Concealed Hands in the Tiles list should be hidden once a partial hand is exposed. I have Mahjonged numerous times only to realize later that, as in the real game, it should not have counted. As a newbie, I often miss this and feel I would learn better if this responded appropriately. Additionally, one interface feature that would be helpful is the ability to switch where the discard pile is. It would be more comfortable for many of us to play left-handed, but as it is playing that way means the left arm has to reach over and it covers the board. An otherwise terrific app--thank you!
**Edit: To be clear, if I try to Mahj on a hand that is not on the card, the app shows me that it is not allowed. Similarly, it would be helpful if the app would disallow a Concealed hand with an already partial exposure.

- Disable “Tap Tiles to Discard” and use Drag and Drop to avoid accidentally tapping tiles.

- Concealed hands are now hidden after the first exposure.

- Left Handed play is now available in release 7.11!

Thanks for all of your feedback : )

I’ve been playing this wonderful game daily—- usually 10-12 games during the early quarantine period, spread throughout the day and night. Now I’ve still found it challenging and fun with the 2021 card. I’ve been teaching friends to play and the “pattern” section of the screen really helps all of us zero in in the best hand to aim for! I play two other online Mahjong games and yours is by far the BEST! One little problem: no one seems to be able to download or install it on a computer— only on an iPad. Why is that?

Thank you for the great review!
