## Description

Red Mahjong is a free online mahjong app for iPhone and iPad that lets you play with real players or training bots. It supports Hong Kong mahjong, Japanese Riichi, and Red Mahjong for 2-4 players, letting you chat, compete, and improve your rating.

Learn the basics quickly: you assemble four sets and a pair, using chows and pungs. Because it's online, an Internet connection is required, but the app automatically reconnects if you lose connectivity, and moves are timed to keep games moving.

## Review summary

Users praise its authentic Mahjong feel, bot opponents, and remote social play. However, stability and pricing issues are frequent: crashes on launch, login problems, bugs affecting play, and connectivity glitches. The freemium model with limited free plays and unclear pricing, plus matchmaking challenges for finding human players and limited support, are common gripes. Overall, the app has strong fundamentals but reliability and clarity need improvement.

### Pros

- Playing against bots is a big plus for practice and getting back into Mahjong.
- Great for playing with friends and family remotely.
- Authentic Mahjong feel and one of the best Mahjong apps.
- Easy to learn and good for strategy development.
- Fast tile release and engaging pacing.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and launch failures across devices/OS versions.
- Persistent login/sign-in issues and repeated logins.
- Gameplay bugs and inconsistent behavior (forced discards, invalid waits, Mahjong claims).
- Poor connectivity, loading problems, and glitches that kick you off.
- Freemium model with limited free plays and unclear pricing.
