Mahjong

*• LIKE: *1. Graphics Great. Can change backgrounds, tiles, orientation & other things! *2. Gameplay. 3 levels hardness of game, 230 board designs, how to play Mahjong & more. *• DISLIKE/FIX: *1. Set to Easy but some boards hard/not able to win. *2. Playing landscape- if sit phone down, etc, moves to portrait- board size changes to larger size. Easy fix, seems like shouldn't do! *3. Should be able to find undone boards easy. Have to remember name of last board played & if won. Not always easy.

It's a perfectly-fine mahjong option. There are plenty of boards, and each play allows three undos, three shuffles, and three hints. The only thing holding me back from a higher rating are three petty annoyances: (1) when choosing a board, you have to tap through *every* board; there needs to be an ability to skip to each next unbeaten board, (2) It can be very difficult to select a higher tile when there's a selectable tile underneath it, and (3) I'm fine with ads, but every time the ads reload it resets the screen sizing & zoom. The app needs to reserve a constant area for ads so the screen/zoom don't keep changing (as it is I turn off internet whenever I play to avoid this completely). ///// Not affecting my rating, but I'd also love to have the ability to create custom boards.

i liked the graphics and would have been fun to play except for one thing. The banner ads would shift the tile screen every 10 seconds or so. Each time would make either top or bottom rows unselectable. There was no position in the middle I could use to avoid it. The only way would be to make the tile size too small for me to use.

Overall I like this game however, recently it has acted sporatically. During the game it will randomly increase the game size so that it is partially off the screen. Hitting the minus button brings it back but it will do the same thing later in the same game session. This happens on both of my phones. I've uninstalled and re-installed the game which has no affect.

The game layout may not all fit on the screen at once, making it very difficult to play those games. There should be a "shrink to fit" option! Picking a layout should be less random, though I guess after one plays longer, one has a better idea of the size and playability of the various layout options.

App crashes when certain ads pop up. Restarts and screen returns to start up screen loosing game in progress. Only app that this happens to. Reloaded and continues. App is flawed, not Galaxy 9 phone. Other mahjong games work fine. Ran fine originally. Wondering if program updated recently? Anyway, no fun to play 1/2 game only to fail time after time. Cannot recommend downloading. (This was one of my favorite games, but just too frustrating to play and crash half-way through.) I had to uninstall.

This app is very nice. There are ads, but not to bad. Would like to be able to size puzzles, so they will fit on viewable area. The best one I have encountered, started with small tiles that would get bigger as tiles were cleared. I have a very big screen, bigger than most, so I can see an issue that it would be hard to see the pieces if they were smaller, so not sure how that would impact play, especially on the small phones. Overall, a very nice game, that doesn't rush me with timers etc.

I cannot find the ad free version for my phone. The ads are BEYOND annoying the way they cause the playing field to jump and resize every several seconds. At one point i was able to disable the ads but my phone did a factory reset on me and i lost everything and am having to rebuild. Right now i find myself uninstalling this app as the game is NOT enjoyable in this state.

The game itself is great, I love playing it. However, the ads at the top of the screen keep changing the size of my screen. The ads don't bother me until it changes my screen several times during a game. Maybe it's their way of getting me to buy the game? Not sure, but what it will do is get me to uninstall & find something else to play if it keeps happening.

Great game with lots of customizations available. A little difficult on a phone screen, but it allows layouts that are larger than the screen by moving the board around. I'd like to see an on-screen counter of available moves at any time, so I know if I've identified all options.
