Mahjong! App Reviews

Really close to a great game. Hope to see some bug fixes for next revision. 1. Could not "goong" 4 tiles at initial start of hand. 2. Landscape mode: players tiles blink out, right computer tiles shift left. (tilt IPad and things return to normal) 3. Computer discards could be at same position to allow for easy "pong". (Many times, lost good opportunity because could not grab tile fast enough at different positions. (But I also need to play at a fast pace so cant slow overall game.)) 4. Nice "round" and "seat" indicators. One time it disappeared, had to reinstall. 5. Please somehow avoid overlapping discarded tiles when not using "align discarded tiles". 6. If possible, have multiple player scores. So I can allow others to play without affecting my score. 7. If possible, make arranging tiles more precise. When moving tile left, it positions it one tile too far left. Good luck. Definitely recommending to my friends. (No comments on scoring. Whole other topic.)

Sometimes I win, but it says I did not and then I lose a lot of money, could you fix this? Also, you should have a choice of shanghai mahjong (13 tiles) and Hong Kong mahjong (16 tiles) It is actually pretty good though

Tired of trying to pong/kong and the game does not respond. Needs an explanation for those of us who do not understand the scoring system. (Sorry I forgot my crystal ball) Wind position marker doesnt always show, which makes it mire difficult to remember round/seat wind locations are. Opponent players can apparently get points for Kongs that do not show in their hands. Deleted this game, $2.00 is too much to pay for a buggy game that should be free.

The game play is good, but the button to take a tile should be larger... I find when i want to hit it i scramble to hit the tiny hand and miss is a lot, missing the tile i needed. Also seems to crash every second game. Gameplay is fun and rules are accurate, but needs polishing before it is worth $1.99 But mandatory make the hand button larger!!!!!!!

Super frustrating when you play a chicken hand and the game says its a loser. Week to week this is. Problem and totally ruins the game play if the game wont even recognize when you won. Figure this out people

Terrible how it crashes and it doesnt have a save point in this game. All the hard work points gone to waste. Game crashes every 5 games. Disappointed

Great concept, poorly written. No pause, no control over speed, poor network connection or none with friends. Flowers come and go at random. Who won the game is anybodys guess and the HAND has to be larger to make it a useful tool. Give me back my $1.99 until the game is fixed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally creating the traditional game of Mahjong. Im so tired of seeing that solitaire version. I used to play with ivory-bamboo tiles but its hard to find someone to play with. Now I can play whenever I want. Two suggestions: It is necessary for strategic purposes to see all the discards. It would be nice to be able to arrange the tiles on my hand. Keep it up; its a good start. 2011 update. EXCELLENT! You fixed all but the view of discards and a pause. Its much better now. 2012 update. I like the new layout of the hand but two beefs remain. Sometimes capturing the discard freezes and the chance to pick up the discard times out before I can get it into my hand. Lost one game due to this! Second beef: after a program upgrade, all personal settings are lost. I had sound turned off, loaded the game and startled a few people with the rustling of bricks. Also lost the yellow/brown colour of the brick backs. What happened to the pause tap? Its useful to pause the game while adjusting the settings. Good game. Overall I like it and its the only app I found that wasnt solitaire in disguise. 2013 update: once again all my settings were lost. Theres a wheel on the lower left corner that is inactive; it does nothing when tapped. I cannot get to my settings at all now. VERY IRRITATING!

Very difficult to interact with the GUI, sorting feature does not sort well based on the kinds, should have a feature to prompt the user when pop, kong...etc is allowed

Cant take chow/pung;( want my money back!!!

The game is great but the score system is nor clear!

Not celar, bad graphics

It seems that the score system is bugged. I had a pong/kong closed hand and the app calculate a 0 point "chicken hand". In another round for three consecutive time it scores a "wind round pung" to a player that never play a single wind. Moreover it seems impossible to contact the developer: Im not able to find a way to drop him an email or something. Another bug: in a hand ended with no winner, after the last tile was taken from the wall the game crashed and closed itself.

You have to play tiles super quickly or they stay in the discards.

No act voice, not able to win this game at all. This games doesnt worth to pay $1.99. Need a lot of improvement!!!

It constantly locks up. So annoying. Fix it! Not worth $2.

I love mahjong, and was so happy to see that someone had actually developed an app that allowed a person to play a real mahjong game instead of that stupid solitaire game. I used to play the Aspyr version on my Mac, but they never updated past OsX, so when I saw this app, I got my hopes up. But this app needs help, and I hope the developer will listen, since there is no real support offered under "App Support". The game freezes, does not respond to efforts to legitimately take a tile, and has no way to start a new game. A couple of buttons for taking or passing on a discarded tile might be better than the current system of trying to drag a tile. Please, please listen! I so want to play this game, and fixing a few bugs would allow me to give you more stars -- I hope you will do this. Mahjong is a great game and having an app that will play it would be wonderful. I wish this one had worked. Please fix it.

Latest upgrade still did not address the app. crashing! I just upgraded it tonight and decided to play a hand. 1st game went well, 2nd one hung up. In order to get it back, I had to turn off my IPad, turn it back on. My game crashes in the area of discarding after you draw a card from the wall. Would go to 4 stars but, not until this game has ALL the bugs worked out. Still like it, though.

Buggy. Freezes up. Wouldnt let me declare a win. Sometimes cannot chow a tile.

Too many problems. Defective. Why are you selling this? I will dispute for the payment.
