Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We're a huge buff of the classic game so when we saw this app we jumped on it. When we saw the amazing graphics and the many different options and styles to play we knew we would never get bored. Very great full for such a time consuming game, allows us to escape every now and then.
Almost as great as playing it on the computer. The graphics are great not complicated to use and very entertaining.
The graphics are very nice and there are many layouts. However it does not keep track of which layouts we have won. Also, maybe because we wasn't online the first time we played it, but it never set up our user name properly. It also crashes when we try to create our own game layout and play it. It may be necessary to reset the iPad after crashes to get the game to start again after a crash. We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times to no avail. The developer gives no support — emails are unanswered after many months. You're on your own with this one if it's not working properly.
Very good and challenging Mahjong app…great graphics! 5/5.
This app has stunning graphics. Love it.
This game was worth the money. We enjoyed it very much. The 3D graphics made it stand out more than other mahjong apps that we've downloaded before.
Nice little mahjong game we especially like it on the iPad.
Well, we never played Mahjong, but now we can learn how to play it in a very nice app.
Learn the rule with this game, play it and have fun with it! Nice 3D Game ;).
We have always wondered how to play this app and now im getting a hang of it challenging but im liking it.
This app is fun if you like this game but im not that much of a fan so it was alright.
You like the classic mahjong game? Then you will like this app! It fully covers your wantings of a great, simple, good graphics mahjong game app. And the price is just amazing for such a great app as this one! Also a good time taker for travelling.
This a great game to play, which we been playing for many hours. This game is great traditional chinese game. It deliver everything it says on the discription and so we recommend you purchasing this application.
This app is our grandma favorite game, and this one only $0.99! Good.
Realistic and nice graphic we love the gameplay it is fun.
If you like the mahjong games then you will love how this app presents it. 10 different boards with an ability to personalize the tiles is sure to give you a challenge and help you have fun at the same time! Great Value.
We have played this game before on the computer and found it really fun. Generally we enjoy doing these kinds of puzzles and when we saw there was an app, we were verye excited. You have to match the picture and the number for each domino looking pieces until you have matched all of them. Except not all the pieces are available to click on, depends on the surrounding area of the pieces. It may look simple but you'll see that you really have to work on it and that makes the game unique and fun.
If you like lag kong this is cool. A few ways to play with lots if boards.
If you are a fan mahjong it's app is pretty cool. It offers a good looking game and some good gameplay. The 3d isn't anything amazing but that doesn't take away for this still being a good game.
The 3D features and switchable to 2D plus nice graphics make this app unique. It's time-killer and fun to play, so we would recommend this game.
Got it for our grandma she loves it, She uses a $650 device to play solitaire mojang but hey it makes her happy.
This is one of the better mahjong games that we have played for iPhone. The accuracy is off sometimes which is frustrating but it is easy to see the tiles.
This mahjong game is really fun. One of the better ones we have played. The graphics are nice.
This app is good. Has many levels and if u like the game u will like this app. The graphics could be a bit crisper but its not really a deal breaker b.
We have a hard time putting this game down. We are always wanting to beat the level. Very addicting. Never boring.
Classic mahjong game. The interface is crisp and clear as are the graphics. In order to enhance the app, graphics need to be changed. We needed to play in 2d to get a better experience.
The game is the same, match it and you're done, but the graphic style is a little dark to look at, interface is okay but the font is hardly readable, over a decent mahjong matching game, basic mode is the way to play though.
If you are a Mahjong addictive just like us, this is your game for iphone! Great graphics and different tables to play. Excellent app.
Just to be sure, it is not a traditional Chinese Mahjong game, but a fun tile game. You need to find two highlighted pieces with the same patterns (or similar patterns if they are flowers), and they will disappear. You do so until you remove all the pieces. Quite addictive and fun to play.
It's a nice mahjong game, it includes four different game modes. Graphics are also quite good. It's a quite interesting game.
This app is just okay. There's nothing that makes us clamor to play the game everyday. The graphics don't really contribute anything. It could look a lot better and cleaner. It looks like a cheap PC game. It's cool that they give three different types of tiles to choose from but it's not anything astounding.
