User Reviews for American MahJong Practice

A great way to practice!

I am new to Mahjong and have found this app to be a very beneficial way to learn the hands and start to see patterns faster. I really like being able to see the potential hands in "real" time and also being able to turn that feature off when I am ready to challenge myself. The controls are hyper sensitive, though, so if I happen to have a finger resting on my iPad in just the wrong spot, tiles will be discarded without me even noticing sometimes. Must. Keep. Fingers. Away. The only real issue I wish would be corrected is that the Concealed Hands in the Tiles list should be hidden once a partial hand is exposed. I have Mahjonged numerous times only to realize later that, as in the real game, it should not have counted. As a newbie, I often miss this and feel I would learn better if this responded appropriately. Additionally, one interface feature that would be helpful is the ability to switch where the discard pile is. It would be more comfortable for many of us to play left-handed, but as it is playing that way means the left arm has to reach over and it covers the board. An otherwise terrific app--thank you!**Edit: To be clear, if I try to Mahj on a hand that is not on the card, the app shows me that it is not allowed. Similarly, it would be helpful if the app would disallow a Concealed hand with an already partial exposure.

Good app to play mahjong...

I like how this app shows which choices are the best options for your current hand. Like many "game" apps, it seems to know your hand. Most of the time it plays against you but sometimes it lets you win. There is another app that I subscribed to play mahjong online with other people. That one is obvious that it knows what your hand is and is very frustrating to play. As I mentioned, at least this app lets me win sometimes.

Excellent practice for beginners

I started playing Mahjong a few months ago. I was spreading out tiles on the kitchen table and practicing identifying hands. This app allows me to now practice anywhere on my iPad. It’s simple to use and only gives you hand suggestions when you want them. I’m trying to avoid focusing on the same sections on the card all of the time; it tracks that too. Can’t recommend this app enough for new players!

Issues w app

Second updated review… Had issues w app… found the issue was with me! Using app incorrectly! Valuable lesson!! Maybe there shld b a you tube video on how to correctly use app. Now I am using it correctly and still enjoying the app and the practice. It wld hv been helpful to hv more instructions. Appreciate ur response and what I learned from it! Thank u! First review: Enjoy App. Great practice. However major glitch in app. Often (almost every game) I cannot place new tile on rack until I slide one on wall, then discard. Even tho there is a slot for it to b placed. Shld b able to slide new tile on rack and decide my discard. I am forced to slide tile to wall, discard (I get an error notice) and then slide tile I’m keeping back into rack. Pls correct glitch.

Even better to have during our days of quarantine!

I’ve been playing this wonderful game daily—- usually 10-12 games during the early quarantine period, spread throughout the day and night. Now I’ve still found it challenging and fun with the 2021 card. I’ve been teaching friends to play and the “pattern” section of the screen really helps all of us zero in in the best hand to aim for! I play two other online Mahjong games and yours is by far the BEST! One little problem: no one seems to be able to download or install it on a computer— only on an iPad. Why is that?

Great way to learn the card too small to see the creacks

I love this game and play it often. I have even encouraged my friends to use this app to learn the card. However, the tiles for the “bots” are way too small, especially the cracks. Before the Apple update this week I could see the numbers on the cracks by using my readers but now that doesn’t even work! This is very disappointing since I paid for this app. I also wonder if the creator of this app has ever actually played mahjong before? Unless they change the size of the bot tiles I might have to look for other versions of this game on different apps.

Good practice....BUT....

When the game is over with a Mahjongg or Wall Game the other hands should be revealed/displayed so the player (us) can see what the other hands were playing with. The player has NO idea where the other tiles were being held. It’s optional in a Mahj game if the other players want to reveal their hands.....but in this practice app....it’s helpful. Also....your player (us) Win & Loss count doesn’t work. Or it just tabulates for the day you are playing. I’ve won a whole bunch of games and all I ever see is maybe 1 or 2.......What’s the 4.4 category in the bottom menu line?

Mah Jongg

I am a novice left handed player and not detail oriented. I get frustrated because my hand covers the bots; in fact, I had played and lost several games without knowing why before I saw the bots my hand always covered. So now I have to put my arthritic hand in an uncomfortable position to play so I can see them. Also, sound would be helpful. I have been playing for only five months, and the computer makes plays so quickly I usually miss them, and am always surprised when live jokers have disappeared and when another hand has won because I missed what happened.

Great practice format, one suggestion.

I love that I have a place to practice deciding which hand to go with and I like watching the other players, it has helped me get faster at determining the tiles not to discard. Although I was very confused once that a player discarded a card they had to have needed until I realized they don’t Mahjong.I do have a suggestion regarding concealed hands. Please remove the Concealed Hands in the Tiles options once the player has has claimed a discard. As is true in the real game, you stop looking at concealed hands if you have called a discard. Thanks again for a great game.

Easy Practice for American Mah Jongg

Game is easy to use for practice and provides error messages if player makes the wrong move. For 2020 an upgrade was made showing the other hands at the end of the game when the player doesn’t win. It helps to know why no win. And the new colors to differentiate the 4 suits really improved the visual. I wish the app would also show the other hands when the player wins because I like to know how close they were to winning.
