Vita Mahjong Reviews

Played over 160 games plus daily. Really enjoyed it until yesterday. My daughter uses it from time to time. My bank account showed two charges that I didn’t know and asked the daughter
She said she had won a valuable item. All she had to do was pay for shipping. Seemed reasonable if true. However this was one of the two charges. The second charge was for over $60 dollars From the same place.
Had my bank cancel the charges and open a dispute with the vendor. Bank says can take up to 90 days for resolution. May not even be solved and I’m out over $70 .
I tried contacting the game support and was directed to send information about this add to them. This got a failed to send. Never did reach a human.
If able to give 0 stars I would have.

I really enjoy playing this game but there is a problem with one of your ads. Solitaire cash that starts out “somewhere in Burbank” freezes at the end and nothing will get rid of it. I’ve experienced this twice. First time I deleted and reloaded your app but I don’t want to do that again. Can you do something about this please? I am writing yet again about the solitaire cash as that starts out showing a man in a pink shirt interviewing people on the street in Burbank. It still freezes at the end and I’m really fed up with it. Please fix.
You basically need to dump all the solitaire cash ads. They all freeze at the end and won’t let you exit.

This game tries to get you to pay to remove Ads by slowly making the Ads a problem. After playing for about 2 weeks the games Ads started glitching and freezing. After each play they started to show Ads…then every Ad started to freeze the game causing me to reboot. This should be illegal! I will never pay to remove Ads…all this does is cause me to delete VitaMahjong . Many online games use this tactic…but it’s usually only the scam games like this one. When it starts happening just delete VitaMahjong …this will force these scammers to stop! I have no problem with games showing Ads because that’s how they make money but it is a problem when the Ads cause the game to crash…not what I consider fun! Again it’s a ploy to get players to keep paying to remove Ads.

I downloaded this game a bit ago and decided tonight to play it. It was going great and I was really enjoying my experience. The next next thing you know the “rate us” came up. Well for the few minutes I had played was great so I gave it 5 stars. I no sooner did this then here came the commercials! And they didn’t come at like every 10 or 15 games, oh no way. They got their perfect rating, now they took the mask off! SUCKER!!! Sorry folks, Seniors are smarter than you give us credit for!
After EVERY SINGLE LEVEL you get the pleasure of sitting through commercials.
Look, if you enjoy commercials, download with my blessing. I don’t, so bye Vita Mahjong, DELETE. I’ll find a Mahjong game that doesn’t value commercials more than the players!

I was enjoying this game for the past week. I stopped because of the ads. I don't think it is fair to target Seniors with promises of "no ads" or "no purchases." One particular ad I am concerned about is the ad that's aimed at avid players who reach high scores. It dangles the prize of a $1000 transfer to the player at no cost to them. The information is very cloudy and as clear as mud how it works. Your web professes to have Seniors, like myself, best interest at heart. It appears that is not the case. I consider myself computer literate but what about those Senior who aren't? This particular ad was well thought out to catch the Senior gamer off guard. Perhaps you should have checked the webs intention. Sorry to say that because of this particular ad, I have given the game an extremly low rate and deleted this game. Thank you for letting me voice my opinion. -- WMC

You advertise for seniors with larger tiles … but this is untrue. In some games, tiles are quite small and only when less tiles do they then get larger. I have played other similar games where tiles are larger than these without them advertising larger tiles for seniors. Can you increase tile size please?

As per your response, there is a screen resolution problem. I sent your customer service screenshots. The tiles start small at beginning of game, but increase in resolution size as tiles from game are removed. Some games start off with extremely small tiles. Somehow your programming does not compensate for screen size. I have two iPads, a regular and a pro … neither get correct resolution. Also your arrow key on top after a game does not work. Screen is stuck and only way to get back to main screen is to exit app and return.

My mother-in-law asked me to get rid of several predatory apps from her phone that were charging her multiple monthly inscriptions. When she showed me what was happening, it was pop up ads in VitaMahjong that said her iPhone protection was out of date and she needed to download the sponsored app. The game doesn’t let you continue until you agree to download VitaMahjong . Stay far away and tell your senior relatives about this scam. VitaMahjong ’s description clearly shows the private information you have to grant access to when downloading. The developer is also out of Singapore and is not following either The CCPA or GDPA privacy standards.

So I’ll start off with this is a fun game. I downloaded it because the ads I saw after playing other games, said Vita Mahjong, has no ads whatsoever. So based on that statement I downloaded the game in the first night played about 40 games without a single ad. I went to the game the next day, Presto after every single round there is an ad.. so yes, Vita Mahjong lies about their being no ads you can disable the ads for $5.99 nowhere in there advertisements do they tell you this you only find it out when you go into the details. I’m tired of these companies lying about their games, having no ads. Both Apple and Google need to start removing these games from their stores for fraudulent advertising practices. do not I repeat do not download this game unless you want to be inundated with ads. If you think you’re going to be able to play this game without seeing ads, you are wrong they lie, and both Apple and Google stores are complicit in this scheme because they are allowing it to continue. They should terminate these games from their stores for fraudulent advertising practices.

I so enjoy this game. But I’ve installed and uninstalled it several times and ALWAYS the very lengthy multiscreen ads cause problems. There are too many between games, all of which are so very long with no way to close them. Even exiting VitaMahjong and shutting off my device does not help because they are still present when I try to play again.

These are the same ads that pop up in other games, but after the first presentation or two they become shorter. Not so here.

Y’all have burnt my last nerve! I’m done.

This is the second time I’ve been suckered into downloading a game because the ad for it said “no annoying ads.” I should have known better! Apparently, by adding the word “annoying” they are absolved of all legal responsibility and can still feature ads in their game because to their thinking, their ads are charming and entertaining. This actually IS a relaxing and enjoyable game but I’m deleting it because I’m sick of companies who feel the need to dupe their customers, and I’m also tired of watching an ad after every single game.

Very unfriendly for those of us who are red green challenged.
I tried, but there were several moves in most games that I simply could not see.

A configuration option that removes the RG challenge would open this game up to many male players. Without some change in the game this genetically different group is simple disenfranchised.

I too liked this game at first. I won every game. I did not like the ads that were constantly interrupting play so I purchased the “no ads” add on. It can be called a scam because every game since then has required a reshuffle due to there being no more moves. In order to reshuffle you must stop playing and watch an ad. Purchasing “no ads” does not eliminate the need to watch ads to reshuffle. I find that misleading since I found nothing disclosing that fact when I purchased it. Now I feel like I have been scammed by a game that induced me to purchase a worthless add on. Don’t fall for the misleading “no ads” add on. The game will always require a reshuffle, that requires you to watch ads, or you must start over and go through the same sequence of events making no progress forward.

I enjoyed the actual game but, especially since the game is advertised for seniors, very much disliked how their ads seemed scammy. Instead of a regular ad for a game it would pop up saying you needed to download the latest version. After an ad that was made to make the user think they had been hacked or whatnot I felt I couldn’t support the game and should delete it.

I think the game itself is good. It could be a bit more challenging, but for the most part it's fine. The only problem I have is the ads. The first day I got it, there were no ads and I played through 15 lvls perfectly fine. But on the second day, there were ads every five seconds! If you want people to stick with your game, be consistent! U don't need ads every five seconds.

VitaMahjong ad says there are on ad yet after playing several levels there is an ad. This is false advertising to get people to download VitaMahjong . I don’t approve of this kind of advertising.

I don’t care if you need ads for revenue, if the ad says that VitaMahjong is ad free then it should be ad free no matter what. If it isn’t and there are ads it should be specified in the ad otherwise it is false advertising plain and clear. This is how a lot of your ads are and I get tired of trying to close the ad and it sends me either to the internet of to VitaMahjong site and won’t close. I think if you had to deal with it all the time you would be annoyed or angry by not being able to close the ad.

When I downloaded the game it was through an ad. It said this was an ad free game. It didn’t show me any ads until the second time I opened VitaMahjong and now every few minutes I see an ad. It’s ad after ad. So annoying. I get that that’s how you make your money but these ads are so frequent it drives you crazy!

The first time I played this game there were barely any ads. From the second time on, the ads are nonstop, popping up after each level and honestly taking longer to watch than to complete a level. So I checked out the "no ads" option. It says it's a one-time fee of $5.99 yet it also says it renews before the next "period." It doesn't say how long a"period" is -a month? a year? Now why would I sign myself up for an auto-renew situation having no idea what I'm signing up for? Unfortunately, I can't trust the ability to cancel the auto-renew since many, many developers make it impossible to do so either by using cryptic procedures, failing to reply to customers, and/or displaying error messages that it can't be completed at this time. The fact that I can't find info on the auto-renew time frame makes me think this is one of the shady apps.

I play these games when I need to relax or to calm my anxiety. Neither watching endless ads nor spending significant time to find out how this "subscription" works (or how to cancel it) is definitely not my idea of relaxation. Sadly, it may come down to deleting VitaMahjong . Other than that, I really enjoyed this game!

I downloaded this version of the game, and it wasn’t to long into playing it, that I realized that something was different. It was not playing right. I could pick pieces from anywhere in the top. They were all open for play. That’s not right. The only pieces that are supposed to be open, are on the right and left of the board, that are on an edge, and not covered by another piece.
This makes the game way to easy to play. I think I’ll stay with the other morjong game I have. Even if it’s harder for me to look over the tiles. It’s more challenging to play.

I deleted my other mahjong because this one was advertised as “no ads”. Apparently after reading responses to other bad reviews, it doesn’t actually mean “no ads” it means it doesn’t interrupt a level but only between levels…
Maybe that could be clearer…bc I wouldn’t have replaced my other mahjong with this one that doesn’t offer anything better than I had before.
I get it. You need to make revenue. I have other games that do have ads. But they were up front about having ads. No surprises. No disappointment.
I’ll be deleting this dishonest, shady game asap.
See ya!

They advertise NO ADS there are ads! Not only are there ads but it’s their own ad. Even that’s OK but the ad is a lie! The “Ad” informs you that your program need an “Update”. LIE! The “Update”. Will install another of their games, a Solitaire game. The MOST annoying thing about the ad is that it doesn’t end. It lays on your game and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot your device. I’ve done it 3 times so far don’t know how much more I can take.
The game itself is OK, that’s why I gave it two stars instead of one.

This game is definitely not for seniors since instead of it being relaxing, it can be terribly annoying & irritating which is not at all good for seniors. Ads get stuck, especially after you’ve played 10 games and are about to collect additional hints or shuffles!!! All of a sudden the ad freezes & there is no way to collect ANYTHING as the only way out of this is to turn your phone off & then turn it back on again. It’s not like I need the extra hints & shuffles because I have reached a point where I have over 100 of each, as I have not needed that many hints & shuffles to get to level 680 but it is the principle of the matter. I have no idea how many hints & shuffles I have earned but have missed out on because when I get to the point where I am about to collect my “reward” it invariably goes to an ad that will freeze & will stay frozen until I turn my phone off & then turn it back on again. So NO this is not a relaxing game for seniors but one that will definitely raise your blood pressure because of all the glitches you have to deal with.

Two things are terrifically annoying about this game. First, as the game loads inspirational quotes are posted on the screen. Problem is, they attribute the quotes to people who absolutely did NOT say those things. The second is that while you can turn the sound off on the game, it does not turn the sound off when ads play. So any chance of playing discreetly is blown out of the water. These kind of low-pro things make me suspicious of the developer.

The ad for this specifically says “No annoying ads”. Why lie? If there were just ads along the bottom that wouldn’t be annoying, but there are ALWAYS ads that play slowwwwly that you have to wait to finish before you can go to the next game. Disgusting tactics.

I originally gave it five stars. Now that I’ve had more time to play it I see what one reviewer was talking about.

In of the reviews someone had mentioned about the game gets stuck. You can have an open card right in the middle and it will not move and you can’t pick it up. It’s just stuck. I’ve tried everything. I’ve changed the format. I’ve changed everything and I’m about ready to give up. I don’t know what’s causing it to lock up in the middle when the tile is completely open and there’s one on the end you can pick it up and it won’t let me.

I really like this game, but I would like to see a running total of my scores. I can’t see if I’m improving. I would like to see other players scores as to how I’m doing.
————-
Needs to have a way to see each of my scores to see if I am improving etc. something that shows the breakdown of scores. As for the trophy is that after finishing a month? How do I get it? Assume at the end of each month. I also think it would be neat to see others scores to compete with. Im 72. I like this game. But I would like to see a list of my scores or something, even if to only try to beat my own score

After finally figuring out how to play the game, I found the option for no ads. I paid it. It’s a lie so be careful. You don’t get ads in your first round, but when you win a game and if you want double they stick you with the ads and it stinks. I’m about ready to quit because it’s a waste of my time and energy and I really think that I’ve been lied to after paying money for no advertising. They really need to be clear that you won’t get as much advertising but when you start winning games if you want double points you have to sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and it’s a total waste of time, so beware. It’s fun to play, but they’re going to mess with your head and continue to send ads.

I made the mistake of downloading this game. There is nothing wrong with the game itself - in fact it is pretty good. The problem is that I immediately became inundated with ads for Vita apps in just about all the games I use, and Vita’s ads are uniformly ridiculously long. The Vita Solitaire ad alone clocks 70 seconds, and you can’t get out of it any sooner. If you want to avoid unreasonably long ads on all your devices, don’t download Vita apps.

7/7/24
Just uninstalled Vita Mahjong. Couldn't take it anymore. The game stopped giving me my earned points before taking me to Kelly Clarkson weight loss ads and that totally gross toenail fungus Ad!! GOODBYE

I am a puzzle player. Vita Mahjong was my favorite until today!! I loved the competition puzzles and usually win. I could deal with the endless ads until today!!! Once you play a game it would immediately add your points and I could see who was close to catching me. NOW...as soon as you complete one mahjong tile it goes straight to a long annoying AD!!! Once the Ad finishes I hit DONE and the X pops up and when I tap the X it NEVER removes the Ad!!! It either starts back over or I have to tap done and the X numerous times!! What has really bothered me today (7/5/24) are the Kelly Clarkson Ads!! After the Ad ends and I click done and the X it takes me to her freaking Facebook page!!! Really?!!! Why? I just want to play Vita Mahjong and NOT go to Kelly Clarkson Facebook page! I don't need to lose weight!! Fix it or I'll have to uninstall and say GOODBYE!!

After 3 days of serious addiction to this game, I ended up deleting it for a couple of reasons. From day 1, I won the games at the end of the day . . . Really??? Are these competitors just created “people”? Second reason, each time I tried to use a reshuffle, the game would somehow disable internet access and keeps coming back urging me to go online. Only resetting my device would fix this, for a short time. Third reason, it was addictive and I found myself spending way too much time playing. Fourth reason: the ads are over the top. As another player noted, they just don’t go away; pressing X just seems to be encouraging them to stick around . . . And bring some other ads. I understand revenue, I understand that this game was free, but 2-3 minutes for an ad every time one finishes a board is over the top! Today, however, I missed the game (after 3 days, mind you . . . Talk about it being addictive!) and re-installed it. I have to re-earn all awards. Will limit my playtime and see how it goes. All in all, I clearly like the game!

Why the ads that pop up, give a black screen and the only way to get rid of them is to close VitaMahjong completely? I was told by another game site that I have to complain to Apple that you can’t fix the ads. Is this true or were they trying to stop my complaints?

I’d gladly give VitaMahjong 5* but after paying for it I still have to watch 1-2 minutes (sometimes more) to get the bonuses I earned. The last several days i did not receive any bonuses after being in 1st place. Yes it’s trivial, but a nuisance when you pay to be rid if the junk ads. FWIW, sometimes you have to watch up to 2 minutes of lousy ads to get your bonuses. LOL. What a joke.

I love this game and I suppose there is an ad free version available for some charge Normally I just tolerate the selected ads & move on. However this game has a toe fungus ad that is THE grossest thing I have seen within a game format Seems as though someone decided if one is a senior they must be dealing with & interested in such a product. I am actually thinking of deleting this game in order to avoid having this ad pop up

Second complaint is regarding some mega jackpot ad that has millions of moving features which consume my game’s ability to be played. I have lost count of the times that Majong stops performing altogether or is slowed way down because the Mega Jackpot game is loading its promo at the screen bottom or it’s full blown ad
Normally I walk away at this point. But now has become a second reason to delete this version of Majong

You need to fix the ads that don’t close after you watch it. Tap to close traffic jam ad for the game is particularly bad about this.

I like playing this game but I don’t like
Only being able to play a couple of levels before my playing streak is interrupted with a pitch to download another game. If I say no it continues to push that game. I might want to play it later but let me enjoy the one I am currently playing All of your free games do this and I don’t like it. I would much rather pay a small amount and know I can play whenever I want without all these interruptions. Same goes for updates.

Why can’t we just pay to have the ADDS removed?
The game is good but it’s frustrating to have to watch an ADD after each game or to be able to shuffle the tiles.

It's not bad, fun to play. However, it's awful glitchy... especially with the ads. They pop up after every level, they freeze, trying to close them takes a few taps on different "X"s and whatever the ad is for it keeps trying to open VitaMahjong Store. Bit annoying. After 5-10 levels the slowdown, freezing, and glitchiness extends into the game with tiles hanging up. Have to close out and restart. If those issues were taken care of it'd be a whole lot better and I wouldn't even mind dealing with a 15 second ad after every level but as it is it takes up to a minute to get the ad off the screen so it gets 3 stars.

This game is fun and I enjoyed it at first, but new each round has adds and adds and adds, I understand the need for them however I went to pay the $5.99 and it doesn’t say how long the “NoAdd Subscription “ is for…SUBSCRIPTION????? I see others ask and are not given a clear response I gave the game 3 stars, would give it 5 stars if it was mad clear is this $5.99 a one time charge? How month is the Subscription? I think I’ll delete and find another Majong game where they make themselves clear about the cost and time limit, sadly this game is beautiful and very fun, but I can’t take the adds and not knowing how long this subscription is for..any answers…???

I struggle with brain issues since my accident a couple of years ago and sometimes cannot even put my words together and I’m 45 so this game doesn’t have to be aimed just at Seniors I haven’t played it as of yet but just wanted to make sure I clarify that sometimes others go through things and it’s not because of our age. Everyone has things that they go through I suffer extremely with ADD and Bipolar 2 disorder and at times make bad decisions and later realize I needed to be better at remembering and making decisions to benefit myself and my loved ones we need more PEOPLE WHO CARE NOT GAMES But if this helps someone then thank you for creating it because it shows that you as a developer care.

This is a fun game and I’ve been playing it for some time now. However, there are a few issues—the first and foremost are the ads. I understand the need to have them, however sometimes they completely highjack the game. And now, a pop-up had will not give up the space back to the game. It claims to say that I am a champion and have won money. It forces you to a website that wants way too much personal information, which I will not give. There is no way to bypass this annoying ad and now use of the game is completely blocked. When this first happened, I deleted the game and started over by reinstalling it. However, now I’m back to the same interruption of this “you won” ad. It’s been holding the game hostage now for two days.

This was advertised as just a game with no ads!
There were no ads the first night I played, now there is an ad after every other move! What a waste of space on my tablet!

The game in itself isn’t bad but they have some excessive amount of ads. In particular there are some for other games that you can’t stop, ironically about games with no ads. I am taking this out of my apps.
I understand that ads are critical to the developer but VitaMahjong is worse than average in terms of the way they want you to look at the ad. There are equivalent options with less hassle than this.

Can't play enough to see if I like it. Ad after every game. I was trying to get to 100 games to see if they became harder. If it did, I would purchase no ads. There is a LONG ad after EACH game. Got sick of it and deleted VitaMahjong .

I downloaded VitaMahjong because it challenges you. Well I played it for three weeks and very much enjoyed it. Then one evening it kept stalling and wouldn’t let me play. Then last night after playing 2000 games I put it down for a break and went back the next day and it wouldn’t load at all. I had collected over 384 points for replays and 800 tips and couldn’t play the game.
Every time I went to play it wouldn’t load. Then I deleted game to start over and now I am back to square one. Not fun anymore and now I can’t even download the game.
Just wanted to make you aware that there must still be bugs after 2000 games. I’m 80 years old and loved this game to keep my brain focusing. Now I can’t even do that.

Not only are the ads intrusive, but one of them freezes. So you play ten levels to earn the shuffles etc. if the ad freezes, you lose what you earned. Happened twice tonight. Same stupid ad. Talk about boring…same ads over and over and over. And the challenges. You match four gold tiles, computer adds four. You match four more gold tiles, computer adds two. If there are rules explaining this, I don’t see them. I’m about done. Now make that three times the ads froze so I could be robbed of threwards I worked for. Only happens on the 10th round where rewards are collected. Cheat! I’m done.

I’d EASILY give this five stars but for the annoying ads. I dished out $6 thinking I could get hints and reshuffling for free. No such luck. I loathe commercials. I just learned how to play and it’s easy. The game is very nicely designed. The cards are large. I’d look into ALL the games for seniors from this company if not for the endless ads. That’s why I have Apple 🍏 Arcade. I assure you I am not going to be getting ANY of the games advertised. This is a fun app which is great brain food. But please do something about the ads. I’d pay more to ABSOLUTELY get rid of them. I’m hooked but I can’t stand it!

I love the game but I am just wondering if the levels get more challenging by adding more tiles etc. it gets a little boring with the same shape board and number of tiles in every game. Thanks.

Being a genuine Mah Jongg player, I find these match-up games so boring, but since there are no challenging games available, I just don’t play these unless I’m extremely bored. 🥱 Why cannot someone create a game more in line with the actual game?? I do enjoy seeing the beautiful tiles, though.🀄️

I only have space on my iPad for this game and even when I filtered for ‘iPad only’ it downloaded the iPhone version and it’s a pain to use my iPad vertically so I can’t play it. I wish they would allow for a horizontal position.

Update Aug 2024: Changing from 5 to 4 stars. I don’t like the new update. It was a great relaxing game and I even paid to remove the ads. This new update has added “hard” levels that are way too hard and I am no dummy. Plus, I’m not a senior. I liked the relaxation it used to provide with enough challenge to push me. If this stays, I might not.
Previous: I love this game. It has as many ads as any other plus the option to pay to remove them. Don’t know why people complain. The new upgrades are great. They keep making it better. There are such fun incentives to play that I get on daily. I love collecting pins. Wish there were more tile choices but whatever. Love that it’s a no-pressure game. I need that so badly right now. Keep it up, developers!

I’m 79 years old it kind of keeps my mind sharp and Keeps me busy anyway it’s very clever lts easy to recognize some tiles look the same but they’re not thanks for the game

I enjoy this being 63 yrs old it is helping me keep my mind you as I age. I wish the helps were easier to achieve like games sharing the same name but much easier to get clues or helps when you run out of moves…..BC Amarillo, Tx. USA.

Love this game. One of the better ones. But why oh why did u change the looks of the tiles? Finally got use to the old style now it looks cheap like the tiles were designed for little kids. Please change back

I LOVE the challenge that this game has and it is SO fun!!!!! I love all of the cute characters on each of the cards! It is very easy to play and it never glitches up! It really challenges your brain! Try this game out! The first time I played this game, I cached on to this game VERY fast! You should definitely try this game out! If you don’t like it, I am sorry then! All I can say is that you need to give it a second chance then! It is SO fun! It also has satisfying sounds that give you a good sensory feeling! TRY THIS GAME!!!!! I am sure you will end up loving it! And remember, I caught on to this game pretty quickly, so there is a good chance that you will catch on to this game quickly too! I would love to give an double extra thanks to the company who made this game! They are the right kind of people! 😃🧧🪭🏮🎐🩷🈹

Fascinating game! Have only played a few times years ago. It makes your brain work on steroids, and playing a decent game is very rewarding! I can tell after 15 minutes that I’m going to be obsessed with it.
I’m now hoping that there’s not going to be a monthly charge to play. If so, I can’t play any more.

I purchased the no ads option and I know the developers have to get paid for their hard work so I guess watching a few ads even after purchasing the no ads is understandable.
I’m definitely able to play many levels without having to watch ads so no ads is honestly VERY WORTH IT.
I wish there were more free options for the background colors etc and I would love to have a few choices of tile styles for free as well but it doesn’t interfere with or FORCE players to purchase them.
I love how it tells you where your skills are compared to all players. It gives ppl a little “Atah-Boy” after each game and who doesn’t like a little boost of confidence.
I really like the daily challenge and the other games that they offer.
I have had ADD $ mild dyslexia and this game truly does help you focus and to help keep your mind sharp. With my issues and now my age it is essential to stave off dementia if it runs in your family but even if it doesn’t, I believe that everyone at any age needs to challenge our brains.
I appreciate not being timed as, for me, would be so frustrated and unable to play because my mind wouldn’t be able to focus and all I’d be doing would be keeping on checking time left and unable to play.
I’m actually quite good at this and appreciate what the developers have to offer.
Thank you

I don’t like this game because the thing where it says blocked because left to right makes no sense because it doesn’t say which ones are locked, so I’m pressing all over the place trying to press the right one that is why this game is hard. But it is overall fun

I enjoy the Mahjong game, but when I need to watch an obnoxious video repeatedly and then don’t get credit for it, I find it pretty annoying. Why do you have to make it so difficult to get back to the game? My daughter won’t even try the game because it is so hard to get back to it. Can you fix that or will it continue to be this way?
Also, why does it buzz through so quickly that I can’t see the current scores?
Please try to fix these problems, otherwise I may quit playing too.
Thank you

There aren't many games that match their own descriptions; in fact I really believe the descriptions are written just so people will download whatever is being described!

But this one really is true. If you want something calming then this game is for you. If you want something to mildly challenge your memory this game is for you! Whatever was said is true. So go download it. What have you got to lose?! Enjoy!

So far I’m enjoying the matching tiles. But I do have a bit of a problem with being designated a “Senior Citizen” in front of the whole world. I’m not a little old lady with white curly hair, sneakers and a cane. OK I am 70 but I have long dark hair, violet eyes, outfits to die for and a wicked look in my eyes. I haven’t started to lose my memory or cognitive function yet but I feel that anything that can help sharpen my brain and reactions is a good idea no matter your age. I also have a feeling that this game could become boring down the road unless there’s some challenges ahead that I haven’t seen yet. I’ll update later after I check out what this game offers in the future.

I really enjoy it specially the not ads. In the last month I had deleted multiple games because of the no stop adds. One of them they had ads every level of the game, then you had 3 mistakes you loose a live of you had to hear 2 adds back to back. The insane part on of the ads was about the same kind of game you are already playing or the same game from the competition.

I live in Florida and recently downloaded your application after Hurricane Helene passed through and right before Hurricane Milton hit us like a bombshell. I spent hours playing Mahjong and being very successful at it. I am a senior and my eyes tire easily. The Vita Mahjong tiles are beautiful and easy on the eyes. This application was a wonderful distraction for me during the long loud hurricane winds that shook all the windows in the house! During that night when Milton came bearing down on us, I climbed into a cozy spot in my bathtub. I am thankful that I had little damage AND for Vita Mahjong!

I just discovered VitaMahjong 2 or 3 days ago! No sooner that I finally picked up my iPad got it updated. I immersed downloaded VitaMahjong to my iPad as well! I think I need to stop playing soo I have a bunch I can play through! Love, Love, Love Vita’s 3rd App I have in my collection! You gotta try…you will love!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It started out as a great game. The first day you download it, it is not-stop play. I played for hours without interruption. The second I quit playing this game is riddled with ads. And I mean ADS. It is no longer fun. I know there has to be money made. It advertises that it is ad-free. It is not. Player be warned.

Follow-up

I do like the game. I understand that the ads are for revenue. I’m all for that. Thanks for the response. I updated my review to 5 stars.

Some different I never played it before it seems like it’s fun all right

I really enjoy this game. I do have a complaint that all of a sudden the game launches into a candy crush advertisement and the only way I can make it go away is to turn my phone off and back on. It’s very frustrating.

No rush but you can time yourself and easy to see and work with.

I play as many games that stimulate my brain as possible. I really enjoy Mahjong.

It’s been a long time since I’ve played. Can’t even remember how I used to play. But it showed up as a option while playing solitaire. Wow! I just love the game! Thank you.

This play is very good for my head, kind of wake up my intellect, I am retired and I had a very very bussy job, in charge of one big hotel.
Thank you very much for this creation, my economy is not to good reazon why I cannot spend money, Im not stingy ok?

This is a great game and I never knew about this game but I am really enjoying it and recommend it to new and old friends

Glad I opened this up. Designed well with larger fonts and fresh colors. Recommend it for sure❣️

Only up to level 9 but so far it’s been a decent game. Not very many ads yet. Guess time will tell as I go up in levels. Enjoying it so far.

I like this game I think I’ve been playing it since it came out. I enjoy it and it gives me brain help. I love it.

This has turned out to be a really fun game to play. It has smaller games built into it that challenge your mind.

I love Mahjong!! I have tried so many other Mahjong games, & this one is the keeper. No gimmicks, no begging for reviews just Mahjong. My idea of how a game should be. I love VitaMahjong. I’d recommend this to anyone.

Different from other “games”. Have to be observant and pay attention to details. A challenger

Never played making before! I was afraid too thinking it’d be too difficult because of my dementia. However, I’m loving it!

I see why they say it helps you to Sleep better and For Longer Because the Music and Ease of the Game go hand in hand and get you into a Extremely Relaxed Mood

So nice to finally have a mahjong game where the tiles are easily read. I like that it also lets you know how you are doing compared to other players. Glad I found this

I’m truly enjoying the game, but the ads are frustrating! After every level, restart, and shuffle I’ve encountered ads and it breaks my concentration, which makes me feel I chose the wrong application for Mahjong. Please rethink the number of ads.

This tile matching game is great fun! I just began playing it today, & have a feeling I'll be playing it for some time. It's one of those games that keep me playing for at least an hour.
I usually end up playing alot of these games for a short amount of time. But this tile matching game is an exception to my normal game-playing habits.
I also appreciate that there's no timer. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to be timed with every round of a game.
I recommend this great game! Give it a try.

Finally someone is thinking about the old folks! I play vita solitaire and mahjong! I just want to thank the developers for creating the games! Maybe some of the other game developers will think about the older folks!

Thank you Vita! I enjoy having large tiles I can see without eye strain! There are so many things done right with this Mahjong game that I find it worth the price to stop the ads from appearing in between each hand, how annoying is that, ad after ad for other Vita products! I am over joyed that there is no timer, the game play is relaxed at my own pace. I have hopes of trying a few of the other Vita games , I do worry if I have to pay a fee for each game as that can add up unless stretching it out one new game a month. Thank you Vita , I have finally found simple, relaxing games that are easy on my eyes and relaxing to play!

I’m such a “Nervous Nelly” when playing this game my ❤️ feels like it’s beating a hundred miles an hour! I love playing the game and I don’t know WHY it makes me so nervous. Maybe it’s because it’s timed and gives the player a “rating”. I think I prefer playing Majong games that don’t rate you.

“No ads” is a straight up lie, just as my 5-star review is a lie. There’s an ad before and after every single level.

Aside from that, it’s mahjong. If you like mahjong, this is a mahjong game. A mahjong game with ads before and after every single level. Ad - mahjong - ad - ad - mahjong - ad, repeat.

I have played Mahjong for years, but the tiles were getting harder and harder to see with my old eyes. This is much easier to see. The only complaint that I have is that the boards are a lot smaller. I guess they have to be to make the tiles larger. I do enjoy the game, and this is fun to play for speed.

I was playing the other version l got … issue was they were difficult to make out without my glasses on …
I did get new glasses but still was not happy.
I saw this while searching thru to find something better for my eyes .
This here is the one for me …. Sooo much easier , going up the size helps out immensely.

I’m 61 and absolutely love this game. It’s very challenging and easy on the eyes. Recently contacted customer support regarding a issue and surprisingly they fixed the issue within days. It was showing 99+ on my shuffles and couldn’t tell how many I had. Currently have almost 200. I try not to use them unless I have too. On Level 1642 and I’m hooked on this game. Download now you’ll really ENJOY❤️

The first 20 levels seem to be teaser levels - no ads. Once you hit level 21 the ads start mid-game for every level moving forward. I put up with it until level 30. Now I’ve had enough.

Fun game you can play against yourself and enjoy passing the time away. Each game is different and short so if you are waiting for someone you can play and the time goes by quickly. I recommend playing to anyone.

Have recently downloaded VitaMahjong just to pass time. Have realized it helps with memory and cognitive awareness. Obviously playing the free version as I don’t mind the ads. They seem to give me a bit of a break when I get too wrapped up in the game.

This is definitely a challenge at my age and I am 68 years old going on 69. I appreciate this game. It will help keep it active .. and our brains. Active at our age which is really a positive thing to do. It’s a fun game and it’s challenging and I love it. My reflects as important to me as well being able to reach an appoint right away is important but I love the game.

I have been wanting to learn to pay Mahjong for several years ever ever since I bought a mah-jongg game at an auction finally with this I was able to begin to learn the game.

I’ve been doing similar games for years. Usually I do one game and move on to the next all day long. THIS GAME TRAPPED ME! I kept playing…I think I played it 5 or 6 games before I stopped to play something else. The ENTIRE time I was playing I kept thinking about this game. I’m back. I wonder if it’s going to hold the same magic. I certainly hope it does!!!

So much better than small cards. Spot them better. Just use the boundaries as much as possible.

Love this game. Makes my brain work together.

Simple Simon men with the best hair color in the game are the best in every game and the only reason they have the most talent in the world are because they’re so talented at the moment and they’re not even close together

A very interesting match game that can operate as fast or ss slow as you like

The only draw back are the commericals will lie to you about how full your phone memory is or if it has viruses.

Only have played it a few days. If it continues to be this much fine I’m very happy I downloaded it. However I am cautiously optimistic wondering if it will remain the same in the next few weeks? For now it’s great!

This is NOT ad free and at a certain point, requires email and other information.

The challenges are not live. You’re not really competing against other players. Check out the standings and they are dormant. The scores don’t change. The other players appear to be canned. It’s a way to keep you playing and watching the ads. Also the re-shuffles seemed programmed. No matter how well you play you will run into a need to re-shuffle.

This game hacks through ads. It starts acting up and began trying to download info through browser, especially after Temu ads. Then it made a loud ping and claimed iOS had viruses. Do not trust this app. It tries to scam seniors.

The game is full of too many ads. After you play one level you'll see an ad. I've had ads pop up when I've already started playing the game. I have ads pop up and then all of a sudden it'll automatically go to Google Play which happens with most of the ads now. I really do enjoy playing the game but all these ads is getting monotonous. I don't see any reason why there should be so many ads on the game. I suggest if you want people to continue playing you fix this somehow

This is not Mahjongg. It’s not even spelled the correct way. mahjong is a game of strategy. This is just stupid matching.

This is garbage, in between games you'll get a screen that says you have a chance to win $50,000, there is no option button to get out of it, it just says there. No exit button or back button. I turned off my phone and gone back 30 minutes later, it's still there. Screw the game, it's not worth the time.

I just downloaded and used about a week message during my game stated was outdated and being retired shoul download a updated version it changed to Shanghai majohng now message stated had several viruses is this correct

I would give zero stars for this app. I used Vita Mahjong within the first 24 hours of downloading it. It started requiring for me to download a virus protection through their app, stating that my phone had eight viruses and request our personal information or consent of which we didn’t give it also won’t register these comments when you attempt to post them it has fake players and the way you can determine this is when your time period starts over within the first minute to five minutes there will be people that have scores of 100 to 119 so you have to apply for hours to get to that yet at the start of every single new time. They’re already in there so there’s at least 30 to 40 games ahead of you so you can’t ever get to where you get a prizealso doesn’t allow you to post negative comments in this review.

I love playing the game but am sick & tired of all the lengthy ads .I think I will just have to delete the game & play solitaire instead.

I enjoyed the game but they totally lie about no ads. After 3 days I couldn't take it any more and just uninstalled the game. Just be where of the deceit.

PACKED with ads. I don't know how they get away with the "no ads" thing, but there is an ad between every game, and they are the super annoying kind, the ones that you can't close, the kind that, when they finally give an X to close, it usually takes you to the download site anyway. It would be fun if it was really ad-free

I played this for a while with no ads,then they started popping up. Due to other problems I had to trun off wifi and cel phone, and the ads disappeared. They haven't come back. But on another subject I think they lie to us on the scores. Several times I've gotten to over 100 points above the second place player then quit, usually for the night. The next day I'm still in first with someone tied with me and the next person 2 points behind. Who works to tie and then quit? Or come within 1 game and stop? I don't trust the scoring but it is an addictive game.

Are the rewards safe to put your information

I enjoy the game except for the EXTREMELY annoying adds. Pleeeze. Not so many. Also , where can i find an explanation for the scoring & what the bonus prizes at the bottom mean.
