Broken Player Settings

Great Japanese Mahjong game. My only real issue is some of the settings don’t seem to have a way to save or exit, requiring me to force close the game. I’m experiencing this when trying to change player name and voice. Not a big deal, but still.
Great for airplane mode

Played it a few hours flying cross-continent. Will use it when I cross the pacific.
Finally!

Finally an app for Mahjong the way it should be played. If you want to play Japanese rules, this is the app to get. Voices and pronunciations of terms could use a lot of work though.
STUPID game design

Best Mahjong App on the site - oops

This is a re-write of my earlier positive review. The current version keeps crashing back to my "desktop" on the touch. It is now unplayable. Hope this gets remedied. Be aware that this is one of the Japanese variants of Mah Jong but, if you play Chinese Classic or Hong Kong or Shanghai or any other popular version, it's easy to learn - at least enough rudiments to play. Reach, Dora Tiles and Sacred Discards are some of the fundamentals - and, for my money - they enrich the game. I still enjoy the other variants, but Japanese Modern is my favorite. The AI, unlike all the other Mah Jong apps I've tried for my Ipod Touch, is fairly strong. For example, SG Mahjong - the Shanghai game - is an app I really like. Yet, I can consistently win at the hardest level. Mahjong Mobile takes me to the cleaners as often - no more often - than I beat it. To win consistently, you need to read discards and really know special hands that will yield limit scores. I like the graphics on this program a lot - but my favorite game play feature is the means of discarding a tile. On most apps, you double tap or slide a tile. If your fingers are not thin - or if your aim is off - you end up accidentally discarding that red dragon you just drew for a hidden pong. With this app, there is a slider that moves beneath the tiles. When the proper tile is chosen for discard, you tap the slider bar and get the discard you want every time. My only beef with the app is the voice adaptation. It's annoying, because it pronounces char (hard k, as in characters) like char (as in burn the food). Dora tiles are called duh-rah' - emphasis on the last syllable. I think the author might either consider losing the voice - or programming the words to be pronounced phonetically. But this is a small complaint about a really first rate program. Buy it - you won't regret it! Dr. Gary Axelson
Excellent Game!

v1.3.1 features excellent graphics and play. I've been looking for a REAL Mahjong game (not one of the tile-matching ones) on various platforms from my Mac to my Nintendo DSi. iPhone and Mobile Mahjong for the win!
Love the clean design.

I have 5 dif. Mahjong apps and believe the best ones are Mahjong Mobile and another Japanese one, so i've been forced to learn riichi mahjong - which i don't regret at all. One thing would make this app my absolute favorite: could the games be played in landscape mode? That way the tiles can be bigger. Love the ipad version too!
Pretty Good

I'll preface this with it's a very good mahjong app. It does most things I want perfectly. Though the voices are annoying my phone is usually on silent anyway. That said your app seems to use a slightly different version of the Japanese ruleset. For instance a pon of dragon tiles does not give the one Han requirement. Also no terminals doesn't appear to give a Han if you open it, where it does in most variations of Japanese mahjong I've played. If I had some way to play under the rules we usually do in person, that would be amazing. All aside, it's still great to be able to play a quick game when I'm out.
Fun as hell worth my 3 dollar

It's great all I can say. Would be nice if the voices were not robots
