This game helps to calm and relax my nerves.....super fun and it starts to get a bit more challenging. The ads aren't bad either, you can skip them real quick. Playing it makes wait times easier to get through. I am not a very patient person, so games like this are awesome to have. I also like the different backrounds you can choose and different designs on the game pieces. Smooth game all around.

I have played this game through to the end a couple of times and waited while new goals and new levels were developed. It is relaxing for me, and I prefer this version over some others. The one new "feature" that i find quite annoying is the way some ads will occasionally pop up between moves. Might need to look for something that doesn't allow that.

I like that there are well over 1000 puzzle layouts to choose from so it never feels repetitive. You can even change your tiles and background color. However it would be nice if there was an undo ( your last move button.) They have the hint, shuffle, and restart buttons, why not be able to undo your last move unlimited time so you can backtrack to fix a mistake? If you're a fan of mahjong this is worth the download!

This game has beautiful graphics. It's very easy to use, and I believe it has been adjusted to be more real, ie: some games are impossible to win because of the way the tiles are laid out. For those who can't stand to lose, the remaining tiles can be reshuffled. But I like to lose-occasionally!-because it forces me to employ strategy to win and makes the wins more satisfying. A decent brain stretch. Love the music. Hope they don't change it. I've uninstalled a couple of games because of that.

A decent version of a classic game. I haven't tried others but this interface is nice. I do wish there was an easier way to save progress, I discovered the account creation after losing progress with a new phone. A pause button would be nice, or a way to have an automatic pause feature for when other apps interrupt gameplay. Other than that my only complaint is the ad integration but I guess I can't complain too much for a free game when they aren't really too troublesome.

Love the vibrant colors and the music is soothing. I enjoy that the boards are verticle. All in all a very good game. Only possible edit that I can suggest is to show board # you are on working in. Or possibly a pop-up or achievement when completing a set of boards. I like finishing a complete set, especially if I am close to the end but I loose track. If you always just click next board it takes you to the next set. Would like some sort of notification when accomplishing a completed set.

I have had this beautiful game on several devices. The variability of boards as well as the music makes this mahjong meditative and relaxing. It is the best. The only thing is that the beautiful meditative soundtrack is scratchy! My phone is not a week old. Why is this? Should I uninstall it then reinstall? This is an update on 5/13/22 I still love this game. It is relaxing and the music is perfect in that it evokes the emotional experiences of life, all the highs and lows. I hope that it stays

Only thing I don't like is that the boards are not random -- they are very clearly constructed. I much prefer true random boards -- the way you would play with real tiles. Still a good game. Well, one other problem has come up recently. Frequently, the small banner ad that sometimes pops up at the completion of a game completely hides the time you scored in that game. So, basically you know if you won or lost but you don't know by how much you beat the clock. Still the best mah jongg out there.

Loved this mahjong, however, it may be installing pics from ads directly on my new phone & they just randomly pop up WHENEVER! You don't even have to be playing the game or have it running in the background for it to happen. Seems like it may be installing spyware, if not, it is at least very intrusive adware. I'm uninstalling game & all ad files to evaluate if this game is the cause, but it's the only one I had on now. I'll report back later. Had good tile set, easy to see, beautiful pics.🤞

#1! Wish I could give 6 stars! This game's structure is old school - straightforward, pleasant and low stress. No "lives", points or having to wait to get to another level, plenty of different boards, no gimmicks to get you to pay for something to keep playing, no obnoxious sounds or music to hype you up, and the sounds that come with it can be turned off in settings of the game. My go to game because I despise other games with their excessive hype and manipulation.

This is the most beautiful version I have ever played. Beautifully colored with a wondeful piece of music to listen to while playing. This one speaks to my game play and artistic senses. LOVE THIS! Two years later... I am still enjoying the game and the music ❤❤ The ads frustrate me...had to watch a 30 second ad that lasted 35 seconds BEFORE I was able to play the first game!!! Dropping from a 5star to a 3star because of the ads!! EDIT: Improved timing on ads. Thank you!

It is enjoyable. There are many options regarding tile design, music, and background colors. Points are given for matching the tiles under a time limit. There are no points for using a or a hint or shuffle. Although, sometimes, there are no more tile matches, and I will use a shuffle. So far, the game has been completely free with no ads. If that changes, I will stop playing and delete the game.

4/18/2019 Latest update comes complete with full screen, LOUD ads. Totally ruins the game. Rating dropped from 3 to 1 star. Nice graphics, pretty music, relaxing to play, yet challenging enough to hold interest. 3 stars, due to lots of ads. A year ago, it was just small unobtrusive ads at the bottom of the boards. Now at the end of each board there are two full screen ads that pop up. Very annoying, ruins the aesthetics, and pulls you out of that relaxed "Zen" mood.

Great way to relax! Lots of puzzles, I never get bored. Puzzles get more challenging the further you go, but you can also go back to previous games. You can leave the app & it lets you pick up where you left off. I've been playing this for years, and just completed every puzzle (about 1,000 games!) But additional puzzles are Not expensive, should you even need them. My Go-to game, anytime, anywhere. LOVE IT! update: Still challenging and relaxing! My go-to game anytime :)

I played this game for years, over multiple phones. Finding it again was like running into an old friend or lover! I love switching the tiles to flags, this game ruined me for actual majong tile designs! I have played these games over and over again, once I had completed them all, just to get all 3 stars, and then to try to improve my time. Super excited to see the addition of the ability to save an account under email address. I will never HAVE to start over with a new phone again!

I like the alternation of hard and easy boards. The thing I don't like is when the boards make the tiles tiny; hard on my old eyes. I highly recommend this game. I see a lot of complaints about the ads. Folks? Just pay the couple of dollars and all your woes will be over. The best $3 (I can't remember the actual amount, but $3 is pretty typical) I've ever spent on a phone game.

This is my favorite Solitaire game. It fits well on the phone screen and is consistently challenging with appealing music. Be sure to really look at each board before you jump in and start solving it: some of the layouts are interesting and/or funny! LATER: The "improvement" you made to have unavailable tiles wiggle is a terrible idea! I have to take away two stars, and I'll probably unnstall the game, it's that irritating. Thanks for all the fun I had... before.

Used to be excellent. Unfortunately, the game's producers appear to have recently hired a designer who thinks he's being clever by requiring the player to choose tiles in a specific order to win (without multiple reshuffles, that is). Make one "wrong" move early on, and the game is automatically over. What was once a challenging and entertaining game is now almost entirely left to chance and impossibly frustrating.

Works well offline with minimal interruptions from ad launcher. Basic match 2 game. Authentic Chinese designs on tile faces make the search for matches more enjoyable. If you want a high contrast spread you can choose among several backgrounds. For ease of play, every tile that is not grayed out is playable. Tiles have visibly sculpted, rounded edges so stacked layers stand out better. Oodles of layouts permit an uncrowded layout on a standard 3" x 6" cell phone. Wow!

Of all the mahjong I've tried on Android, this is my favorite so far: the most clearly delineated tiles, the timer only starts on first move, the pleasant sounds, the option to back out of all moves. A few issues: 1) no option to change or choose music; 2) daily boards don't automatically advance to the next unplayed game; 3) new boards aren't created more quickly (I played all boards—the wait is excruciating! LOL); and 4) my favorite Windows mahjong allows board rotation and tilting.
