I like this version better than others out there. It is fun to have new tiles or boards to work towards. I also like the daily puzzle especially because it gives you the opportunity to plays boards you may not already have. I would make one suggestion though. Once the month is over the daily puzzles for that month close out. It would be nice to be able to move through the months to play older puzzles. I like that you can play as many puzzles as you want each day and there is not a bombardment of ads like with other apps.

Perfect game to destress with. There aren’t levels that get harder and harder and the tile/background designs you are able to earn are cool and interesting. Each ad lets you skip within five seconds, or lets you close it immediately, I like this feature a lot (most other games make you sit through a full 30 seconds). A very good laidback app that I would recommend to anyone who wants something just mindless enough that it’s not overwhelming, but takes enough mental power to not get too bored.

A friend introduced this to me when we were at a resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I loved it from the first game. The more you play it, the more you learn all the variables; i.e, you can change the faces of the tiles; you can change the color of the board; you can change the configuration of the layout on the board! It never gets boring or uninteresting. Plus, it tells you how long it took you to win, and keeps score of your progress. It’s a real great game!

This one is too expensive and the ads are very intrusive. They no longer support the old Mahjong game so I can no longer play a game that I paid for…. I will not fall for that again… Update. I tried to like this one but it is really terrible. The old Brainium Mahjong had a shuffle option if you did not solve the puzzle. This one does not so it is just too frustrating. Deleted.

It took me a few tries to find a mahjong game I liked and this was the winner. The games themselves are solvable but challenging enough to keep you interested. Then there’s the Daily Puzzle. Wow! Talk about hard. I’ve only been able to solve two of them so far and I thought I was pretty good at this game. All of the boards are solvable so when you get down to the last remaining tiles and you’ve locked yourself in an unwinnable situation you can unwind your game. It lets you step your game back however far you’d like until you think you can reverse your steps and take a different tack. I honestly just start the board over. Then try to come at it a different way. I still haven’t beat those boards but I have hope that I will!

I got hooked on the solitaire — the BEST solitaire ever! You can customize the card backs & the background w your own photos - I LOVE that. So, I love Mahjong & when I saw they had it, I had to try it & I wasn’t disappointed. But I’d love to see being able to customize this game like their solitaire … at least a custom background. It’s a fun game, limited ads (& they’re short or you can stop them in like 10-15 seconds). 5stars!

It seems as though this mahjong game allows you to finish the game at your own pace. I hate those that basically say “time is up” and end the game just when you are getting into it. Thank you for a fun game for all levels of players. They do show you how long it took you to finish but that just gives you something to go by to beat your own record.

It's true. Every game is winnable. Dead ends are a fact of life. Duplicate tiles do sit on top of one another. It happens. So go back to the beginning and make different choices the next time. Switch up your strategy to find the right path. Each round is winnable, if you try enough. (If only real life were like that!) Not every board is fun. Not every background is amazing. Not every set of game pieces is pleasant to look at. Nonetheless there is an aesthetic that's mostly consistent and you can choose combinations that don't insult the eye —which is better than most competitors. There are outstanding bugs however. For example, the Statistics view claims I've played 142 games. Not true. I think it stopped counting once I hit Dragon Level 10. I have 1485 gold crowns, so I've actually played 495 games. And what about that promise to have bring us "More items soon!" It took just a few days to reach DL 10 and I'm sure I'm not alone. It would be fantastic to have the levels planned and delivered to the app as soon as 10% or so of players reach the peak.

I’d rate this game a 3.5/5. It’s good enough I don’t plan to uninstall it, but there are obvious ways it could be better. First, the good stuff - the ads aren’t constantly there. I’ve deleted quite a few apps for having ads every five seconds of gameplay. This isn't one of them. - The undo button has a scroll bar. So, if you can’t get any further on a round, you scroll back and forth between your past matches and decide where you want to continue from. Now, features I wish it had. - identical tiles not being on top of each other. 50% of my dead ends are because two identical tiles are stacked on each other. I would very much appreciate the game generating algorithm fixing that before the match starts. - Being able to turn off boards while using random. I don’t like half the boards. I’d like to use random with only the remaining half, but I can’t. Thus, I just manually pick my board. - Being able to upload my own background. I like my iPhone wallpaper more than these backgrounds.

This is by far the best version of mahjong I’ve played and I love it. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the app tends to crash right as you try to load a new game. Not sure why but suspect it has something to do with the ads that usually load before the game does. I constantly have to delete and reinstall which is annoying. I really hope they fix this glitch in an otherwise perfect game!

It’s lovely background, no screaming doomdads everywhere. It’s wonderful. If I had a suggestion , it would be to have more different puzzles . Seems I work the same ones over and over. But to play quietly without constant bombardment, timers etc. this is worth it. I wrote them about their parental idea of locking puzzles til you earn the right to play them. They simply restated that’s what they do , although I didn’t see that when I chose their product. So they asked me if I wanted to change my review and I decided I’d go from 5 to 3 because I don’t think a game should act like parents, unless it is a game with specific levels. This is mahjong for Pete’s sake

It looks very nice. I like the different boards and layouts. However, there are very few of them to start. And it takes forever to get more. I get bored playing the same board layout multiple times. Also, don’t advertise that every board is winnable because you can go back and undo all your moves. There are still boards that you can lose no matter how many times you go back. I just played one. This is frustrating for me when I want to be able to create winning streaks. This app might fit well for some people, but it’s not a great fit for me.

I tried this app because I really love my Branium solitaire app and enjoy mahjong. As expected the game is clean and beautifully designed. Major problem with the ending of the game. The game states that all games are possible. Three times I reached a dead end where you could go no farther without backing up. You have no idea how far to back up in this situation and it is very frustrating. The fourth time I got all of the way down to the last two and one was stacked on top of the other and that was that. They need to devise a shuffle for when things lock up at the end.

I have been enjoying this game up until today. Be warned. If you play the version with ads you may find yourself being advertised games with a pornographic theme. Shame on the developers and advertisers for allowing something that if printed would absolutely be restricted from underage children from viewing. Your promo says appropriate for 4+! This type of advertising is offensive and there is no option of blocking the ad. That leaves me no choice but to delete the ap since I’ve been playing the game with my child. Sorry guys you absolutely blew it. The ad was degrading to women and totally inappropriate and uncalled for. I’m highly offended. Clean up your act!!!!
