Features & Capabilities

Mahjong is an enjoyable game, played around the world. However, for beginners (and even more experienced players!), calculating the value of a hand can be confusing. On top of that, payments between players after the value of each hand is calculated can also be tricky.

Mahjong Helper aims to simplify the tasks of scoring and payments between games. It can also be used to keep a history of matches played, and to easily experiment with different methods of scoring.

Features:

Multiple Matches
Beautiful, easy-to-read tiles.
Hand Scorer with intuitive tile/set-type selector (press, slide, and release to choose a tile)
Supports European Classical, Hong Kong, Japanese Modern / EMF Riichi (with Dora tiles and Red Fives), and Chinese Official (MCR / Competition) scoring
4, 3, and 2 player scoring modes
Send scores from Hand Scorer to Score Sheet, or enter scores manually.
Score Sheet calculates payments between players, supports "Ready" declarations and counters in Japanese Mahjong.
see how the score is calculated on the "Scoring" panel - great for those learning the game, or just to double-check!
Supports seat rotation between rounds, or groups that prefer keeping the same positions throughout.
Share matches across devices - other players can keep a record of the match & contribute to scoring from their own devices. Requires a data connection.
Print score sheets to your AirPrint-enabled printer!

I hope you like it!

User Reviews

Reviewers praise reliable scorekeeping and Riichi-specific scoring features, intuitive use after exploration, and helpful learning support. Common complaints focus on UI/input bugs, incomplete/incorrect rule coverage for certain variants, and a non-obvious initial learning curve.

Pros

Keeps score and tracks hand scores automatically, including han, fu, winds, and round progression.
Intuitive and easy-to-use interface once you get the hang of it.
Helpful for learning Riichi scoring and reducing the complexity and stress of calculating hands.
Comprehensive feature set with rule options and a scoring summary, plus game-tracker integration.

Cons

Tile input and visibility bugs, including tiles not showing, the tile keyboard not appearing reliably, and scrolling/input issues.
Incomplete or incorrect scoring for some rule sets (e.g., double yakuman not supported, nonstandard hands, HK/European scoring issues).
Learning curve: the interface can be tricky at first and not immediately intuitive.

When scoring hands it doesn’t show any tiles

There's a bug. You can't see the tiles and it was very hard to figure out. Not common sense or obvious UI at all. Mad I spent a dollar for the 3 min I tried it

I really like this app! It works well for what I am able to do with it. But I can’t seem to be able to assign the discard person in the hand score area! What am I doing wrong or not doing right!
