Community Insight:
We cant find the Lena teipei with the cat layout.
Since the latest update, the display does not show the needed buttons to access major features we.e. New, menu, reshuffle etc. In other words, no new game can be played!! Please fix soon.
Fun to choose layouts and games.
Dont like the new card faces. They are smaller and harder to read. Love the game itself though.
Thoroughly enjoy this game. Might be good for the memory too.
This game helps improve making Choices. Improves Eye movement and memory retention.
This is a nicely laid out game with no bells and whistles. There are no ads, even in the free version. Our caveat is that tiles are completely hidden, so the solution is largely guesswork.
You can play 2 patter FREE, all the other you need to pay. Very bad because they are misleading the people.
Used to play the ancient Windows version eons ago, so this is a pleasant surprise. Nicely done. Only (minor) criticism is on the number of available moves remaining – sometimes it will say 3 and when you make a move, the game ends.
Reminds us of the same game we had on our very first PC. Back in '93.
Relaxing, Fun and a Good Habit.
Elegant game, engrossing and fun. Nothing to distract from gameplay. We love this game.
Great colors and visuals. We win rarely but just often enough and love the challenge. Addictive.
Would like to see a score card of our games. How many times we win without shuffling, stars we keep, etc. Love the game.
Just enough wins to keep you going. The shuffle is nice,.
One feature we'd like to see added is the ability to replay a game until the problem is solved. Other than than, pretty good.
Like it a lot, good schemes and tiles.. Very Nice.
Great game. Been playing for years this one gives you more Games to play and they are fast. Really enjoy.
It will not save progress. Even if running in the background for a short time, when you return it starts a new game, only allowing you to solve if you never leave the game.
We couldn't win most of the time so we tried doing a puzzle using only their "hint" feature. That game couldn't be finished either!!!! If this isn't made to clear the board, then why waste your time even trying to do so.
Friend recommended it and we really like it. Hasn't crashed and we beat it on fourth try. Will consider paid version if it continues to work well. Thx.
Finally! We found a relaxing no timer Mahjong game! We love it.
Great game! We like the fireworks when you win – nice touch.
We liked this game for a while but we needed something else to challenge our brain so we bought a different one that has a timer and way more layouts. Good for beginners to see if they enjoy playing this game.
We have worked over 700 games. It is good way to pass time but it would be nice if you could solve it once in a while. Would not buy buy it for that reason. Have only solved it 4 times.
This. Free Taipei game is as good as the ones we have paid for in the past, but it beats the others in discriminating between 'free' and unavailable tiles boldly….usually we are squinting at the screen.
Nicely done game, but is it possible to beat the game and win? We used to be pretty good at the computer version, but we have yet to win in this version. Frustrating, particularly because it is fun and addictive to play.
This is a perfectly done game. It is well designed for iPhone with tiles that are easy to see. We are hoping to soon see Jigsaws from this developer. In the meantime, this taipei game is our game of choice.
Everyone should download this game! It is free to try and lots of fun to play! It is challenging, but good for winding down and relaxing as well. It is fun to choose the background and layout of your game to personalize the experience each time you open the app! This is a very well made application and we have not had any trouble with glitches or bugs. Both the iPhone and iPad versions are wonderful. The colors are so vibrant and scenes are beautiful to look at.
This game is challenging but really fun at the same time.
This app is made very well. The tiles while beautiful, are also large enough to see, and the slightest touch selects the tile. Thank you for making such a great game.
We're using the free version if this and another mahjong solitaire game. Both have the .99 versions. Not sure which we're going to buy. We LOVE the magnifying glass and the dimmed out tiles of this app. But the other app has over 200 layouts… And a ton of tilesets. It has a so-so magnifying glass type feature, but not as good as this one. If this app added more tilesets and layouts.. This would be hands down the best mahjong solitaire out there. 4 stars for now.
