Our Expert Score
Mahjong (often titled Mahjong!!) is a fantastic digital adaptation of the classic tile-matching puzzle. The variety in this app is its greatest strength; with over 9 different tilesets and 20 background pictures, you can completely change the vibe of your gaming session. The tiles are sharp and clear, which is crucial for a game that relies so heavily on pattern recognition.
The quality-of-life features are well-implemented. The 'autosave' function is a lifesaver, allowing you to take a call and jump right back in without losing progress. Additionally, the option to shuffle or get a hint ensures that you never get truly stuck. It’s a relaxing, meditative experience that works perfectly on both iPhone and iPad, especially with the high-resolution graphics updates.
Features
20 unique background pictures
9 different tile designs

Why do you do this?!
Sun Nov 20 2016 Yung MahjI love Mahjong! Now, especially the Hong Kong (Chinese) version. I loved this app because it actually lets me play as it is played at a table game. My only beef with this app is that it cuts itself off and doesn't save the game as it was being played. The "Resume Solo Game" function doesn't work AT ALL and I end up having to close all the way out of the app to play again (which resets the game). And usually, the same thing happens again several times before I just give up playing altogether. Fix that bug and this app is PERFECT! Especially for avid Mahj players like me.
Tiles need to be consistent and organized
Fri Sep 07 2018 kpopfan1516The algorithms seem to be good, but user interface needs improvement! The tiles thrown out to table need to be at a consistent place in the center - right now they are being thrown at all angles all over the center table, and I have to keep looking for its landing place so I can grab it. Hence I missed the chances of grabbing the tile for Pong MANY times. The thrown-out tile needs to stay on table LONGER (or letting user pause) so user can THINK before acting on the tile. This speed needs to be separate from other tile movements that are not relevant to user.
Needs some improvements
Mon Dec 03 2018 slohmamaNeed an easier way to claim the other player's tiles. Need a button to put my tiles in order. The app also crashed on my first solo game. It's great that it saved the game state, but when I resumed it crashed again in the same spot, so that game was ruined. Then I played my second game, and some timing with the pause button confused it and it got stuck (never continued no matter how many times I hit the pause/u pause button). I wish I could turn off the numbers on the wan's.
No winning hand
Sun May 10 2020 Elsie54I keep getting this and don’t understand why. I have a complete hand but I lose 384 points. Obviously something wrong with your algorithm. PLEASE FIX!!! Not fixed yet. Just had two winning hands and it says I lost. Lost -384 points. This is ridiculous. Just won 5-6 hands, then lost -384 twice in a row. The computer never gets a lost hand. Played two games last night. Each game I was dealt the tile to complete my hand for Mahjong. I hit the palm, declared a win and the game says I lost -384 points. I stopped playing. It’s so frustrating. So now you know when it’s the last tile to complete the hand, you loose.
New update
Wed Mar 08 2023 mccormicllane20Unhappy with frequently showing a winning hand and told i have lost 😩. I have played for years and know this game. Also when a tile is discarded, the next in line may claim it. This DOES NOT HAPPEN. Any player claims tile quickly before next in line has a chance. Against the rules! Not liking updates. Please reconfigure Lola46
Mahjong POK
Tue Mar 14 2017 Treetop reviewI have been playing this game awhile and recently it started the cut off mentioned by the previous reviewer!! And the resume button. Please fix this great ap...We can't get the group/ friend player to work properly and it does need a pause button if u accidentally hit the wrong button or forget to register a Kong. Great game to help you learn tiles and learn to play Mahjong.
Love playing the real Mah Jong, but please fix the bugs
Wed Apr 22 2020 StoutDrinkerI’ve been playing Mah Jong for decades and love this version. My biggest frustration is that when I go out with a winning hand, the game claims it’s not and I lose 384 points. I’d love to send the screen captures to the developer for help but there is no way to contact them. A few bug fixes and tweaks and this could be a 5 star game!
Traditional Mahjong w/ tech difficulties
Sun Mar 31 2019 WangAnLienThis is a fun game to play when it works correctly. It is traditional mahjong and not the mahjong solitaire/matching games more commonly found. Unfortunately, it won’t always center properly on my iPad and part of the tiles in my hand are not visible. I haven’t run in to this problem on my phone yet. Needs some improvements. Otherwise, enjoyable.
