Ratings and Reviews
This app is TERRIFIC!
“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.
Outstanding
The words below describe my experience perfectly. I couldn’t have said it better! I also want to say the I get a speedy respectful response from the developer each time I email with a comment or question. I’m using it now to help me learn the new 2024 card.
This free site allows the player to look at possible hands during the Charleston and throughout the game. If another player (or bot) has exposed tiles you can also click on their hand and see what hands they are going for. These features alone have helped me become familiar with the card very quickly. I also like that I can make so many adjustments such as the voices of the bots and how the tiles are arranged at the beginning of the game.
