Community Insight:
Is there really only 8 boards in this one? We have never played or have seen a Mahjong game with only 8 layouts. Am we doing something wrong.
We purchased the extra games and had access to all unlocked 8 games. We got a new phone and transferred all apps to our new phone. When we logged in we only have access to just the starter 2 games. We shouldnt have to purchase the other games again when all we did was switch our phone. Not fair.
Enjoyed it fully. Fun and enjoyable.
Im really enjoying this addicting game.
If you like a challenge, you might enjoy this game. We find the tile designs and colors to be harder to read than other games like this. We play real Mah Jongg (the correct spelling) with a group and find solitaire MJ a relaxing way to learn tiles and sharpen our abilities. This game does not accomplish that for metoo much time trying to decipher which tile Im looking at, and not enough visual separation of tiles.
Thought we found a game we would like. Unfortunately not. We downloaded it to our phone and could hardly make out the tiles and symbols as we couldnt read them. Tiles and design werent clear enough to read due to brown tiles and illegible designs and lack of contrast. Will be uninstalling the app.
We not only cant win a game, we cant complete one because the last 2 tiles have been different tilesnot a match. Its annoying playing games and not even after several shuffles not clear the board because the last two tiles arent a match anymore. They used to be. Im ready to delete your app.
We love Majong! However, Ive run into a few games that werent solvable. Meaning there were 18 tiles remaining and only three had pairs in the game. We were able to see this after multiple shuffles! Pretty frustrating and very disappointing!! We wont upgrade to Pro if the free games arent correctly solvable.
We like this app have used it for years. There are some tough puzzles in here that are randomized. They are all solvable some just seem impossible. We can keep hitting the reset button learn as we go & eventually solve it. We get better all the time because we keep at it. This is great for just whiling away wait time somewhere & during commercials on TV.
The tiles are so small but it is fun.
We paid for this game and got only 6 tiles to play. Very disappointed.
Lately, when we shuffle to continue to find matches, there are no matches. It becomes unwinable. Somebody needs to fix this before we go find one we can win.
Unacceptable. After upgrading to Pro, we could no longer get matching tiles. Its like only one tile for many. Even trying to shuffle extreme amount of times and swap with no success. After all tiles were exposed there were matches. Do not recommend this app.
The games dont have the same matches so you cant win period. Ive documented it with quite a few pictures. Absolutely disgusting.
This game is worthless because we constantly get set ups with tiles that cant be matched. Just got down to about a dozen tiles on one game and 10 of them had no matches possible.
Other games have more features than this one that only has two.
We paid for this game only to find out there are only 6 layouts. We completed them in one day. Guess Ill delete this now and never buy another game from this company. Oh well.
We use to play this with our grandma.
Fun to play, good graphics,responds well.
Not predictable. Keeps you thinking . Fun.
There are frequently 5 of a tile? And a mismatched jumble at the end. No way to report bugs on website.
We knew there were in app purchased when we downloaded this game, but we were only interested in playing the same pattern, so we would not need to purchase other patterns or get rid of ads, etc. We dont know if our toddler touched the screen, but if that was enough for this company to charge us without a are you sure you wish to buy _____? Thats the shadiest in app purchasing Ive seen to date.
Tiles get down to two different characters. No resolution available in app. Bummer.
You have to watch their long, boring and nerve wrecking loud advertisements before they let you play. Recently they have even put in advertisement right in the middle of the game. Stupid ! Deleted the game. We dont know if this game was designed by a moron or someone stupid because we found out some of the cubes have odd numbers, that means you will never finish a game even if you shuffled and shuffled again because they are not in even numbers.
Pros: the puzzle itself is pleasing to look at. Cons: There appears to be only one layout, so it's repetitious. If you stop your game you lose it, so you can't pick up later where you left off. There are lots of ads, which wouldn't be so bad except there is no default sound setting (we.e., OFF) – so every time you open the app you get blasted with sound (we play to relax so this is a problem). Improving these issues would go far in terms of better ratings.
Tiles keeps disappearing randomly after unlocked it, or only one tile will disappear. It cant be fixed or wont appear anymore even if you do the undo choice. Because of this then you cant win since there is always a tile left behind.
When we first opened this game BOOM! Ad. Its so boring too. Ive probaly had so swap over 10 times!! We wish we could give this -999 stars.
And got some stupid words game – we dont want either.
