Great self study

As a brand new player I have found this app to help me improve my game which helps me be a better player in person. I play by myself and it has helped me learn the rules (i.e no joker in NEWS) by telling me it's not allowed and then me and the bots return to the game with me trying something else. I have improved my ability to pick which section of the card to play by deciding first, then checking the suggested hands to see if I'm on track. This helps me learn to look at more sections of the card. I have improved my speed in playing the game which means that I am better in person and even though I'm new, I am welcomed by experienced players at their table. I also love the card tracking which shows me my win/loss record by section which also gives me inspiration to branch out to other sections on the card. LOVE IT!!! And I get my mahjong fix daily when I don't have any people to play with in person.

“The Scrabble Addict” wrote a review on March 12 and I agree with it completely. I am new to Mah Jongg and was interested in playing after watching 3 out of 4 one hour classes online offered by AARP. I then attended 2 or 3 classes at a local center, but was constantly helping me choose which category and hand to pick. I then read a book from the library on how to play which recommended this app. I started playing on the app daily. This really helped me become more familiar with the card and the various hands. I love the offering of different choices when trying to decide which hand to play. The ladies at the Activity Center couldn’t believe how fast I learned how to play and bumped me up from the beginner’s class to the intermediate group after only 3 days! I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn the game.

Hands down the BEST Mahjong App!

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. The set up and options are unlike any other app. The developer is very hands on and receptive to input. His story is amazing so make sure you read it. He constantly updates the app with new features that you’ll always love. You get to vote on certain things he’s developing.The Mahjong group that I play with love this app. The features are endless and only growing daily. He constantly updates about new things in the app “News” section.You’re able to adjust the level of difficulty so this app is perfect for beginners, as well as well seasoned Mahjong Players. If you are a beginner, you have the option to use the “suggested hands“ so that you can develop your skill set.You don’t need four people to play, but you can make a room and invite other people. Again, the choices in this app are endless. Even the names and voices of other players. One of the things that surprises me is that he just now started putting ads on. You can play this game for free. However, I chose to purchase it because he deserves it for all his hard work. The annual subscription is minimal.Again, you have to read the bio on the developer. He thanks his mother for all her support. What’s not to love about that?

Developer Response
Thanks for the incredible review! Feedback like this always puts a smile on my face! Thank you for subscribing as well - while I wish ads weren't necessary and try to keep them minimal, under 1% of players subscribe, so ads necessary to invest in things like server upgrades and (hopefully upcoming) new icon designs.

This is the best if not, one of the best Mahjong games online. The versatility to play the different styles and practice is fantastic. Ability to connect with others to actually play a live game is a plus. If you are new to Mahjong, the guidance/blockage alerts help you to follow the rules and more importantly – it helps you to see other combinations your tiles might be more suited for. As you advance, the same features allow you to check your own skills as you try to size up your opponents/figure out what combinations they might be going for. The annoying advertisements all games have, are brief and easy to get out of. I play in flight when there’s no Wi-Fi or Internet. Absolutely LOVE this mahjong game!!!!

Fixed a bug with the update prompt that caused it to incorrectly appear Fixed an issue that could cause the 2025 card to occasionally not appear Clarified several error messages to help reduce confusion regarding rules on allowable joker usage, on-turn placements, and more Framework updates (iOS 14 now required)
