I do not like the upgrades with negative messages after completed game nor do I appreciate being forced to close two screens every time the program opens because I do not want to complete the avatar image & connect online! Give me options to Opt out! 👎👎👎👎👎 Game is no fun with this garbage!
After the latest update to iOS, the sound no longer works in this app. I've force closed the app and restarted my phone, but still no sound
I’ve had this app for many years, and it’s my all time favorite Shanghai Mahjong app.
Hey, I actually purchased this years ago, to avoid Adverts, and have usually played this every day, enjoying the challenge (5 stars), but with the latest OS update - WHOOPS! - doesn’t even open. I was concerned this would happen as the Developer last updated the game two years ago - DEVELOPER, we need your help in UPDATING this app to work with the freshest OS! Signed, Paying Customer.
While I greatly enjoy this game, it’s frustrating that the achievement for clearing all the boards does not trigger. I sent a message to developers about this along time ago, and never got a response. Disappointing to work so hard to finish that achievement only to have it say I have one board left, but it won’t show me which layout that is.
My absolute favorite game. Everything works so smoothly. The pieces are clearly enscribed. (I’m glad to see the old (ugly) philosopher is gone.)
I’ve had this game on my phone for years and still love it
