Mahjong is a popular game that originated in China. It is commonly played by four players.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for its easy, accessible interface and enjoyable Mahjong experience, with quick, short sessions and an English option. However, recurring issues dominate the feedback: win-detection bugs that prevent recognizing a win, frequent crashes or freezes, intrusive ads, level progression resetting to the lowest level, and random tile changes or deal anomalies. These widespread problems appear across multiple reviews, suggesting critical fixes are needed to improve reliability and gameplay.
Pros
  • Easy/accessible interface
  • Enjoyable Mahjong gameplay/solid implementation
  • Quick-session/short-play friendly
  • English language option
Cons
  • Win-detection bug where wins aren’t registered
  • Frequent crashes/freezes during gameplay
  • Excessive/ intrusive ads
  • Level progression resets to level 0 and can’t stay at higher levels
  • Tile changes/random hand/deal anomalies

I have like this game a lot! Easy interface, simple play style - the biggest and by far MOST ANNOYING complaint I have is that the game doesn’t seem to realize when you’ve won. I’ve been noticing it more and more. I’ll have a win if. Hand and it will continue like I do not. Sometimes, if you click out of game, go to a different level, then immediately come back to level you were playing, it will recognize that you’ve won. Otherwise, it makes you continue to play and doesn’t accept win. This is trusting for obvious reasons but also because as a new player trying to learn the game, it makes it difficult to know if I’m actually correct that I have right hand to win or if I’m playing incorrectly. If this bug could be fixed it would be perfect game!

Nice and fun but hangs frequently on ads after each round. Must break out and restart each time.

Like most of these games I’ve tried it’s not overly challenging. However it is good enough. I was annoyed when the app crashes when I got the orphan hand. Whenever I restart it allows me to resume and try to win again. But it just closes out every time I click win. And it also seems to change some cards in my hand after I discard on the highest level game.
