I wish it had a section that would help on picking a hand
Mahjong is not Solitaire
Wifey04
If you just found out there’s more to Mahjong than ask the solitaire games pushed by ads, this is a great place to start. $12 monthly is too much, as it doesn’t progress into actual hands, but repeats the same 10 questions. The interface and graphics are nicely done. You’ll likely finish during the free trial.
Gave Wrong Answer

I was taught by NMJL certified instructors. When I got an answer wrong in the quiz I went straight to “the book”. The question was “how many tiles can you pass in a blind pass”. I said 3, which this app said was incorrect. According to NMJL rules I was correct, you can pass 3. Page 12, last paragraph.
