TOO MANY HINTS
PLEASE give us the option to TURN OFF the hints!!
If I think for longer than like, 7 seconds, the game will show me where a match is. I actually hate this because I like to think my moves through and I like a good challenge.
This used to be my favorite mahjong solitaire game but the recent updates make the game too easy and it makes me want to look for a different one.

More ads than game
Not worth playing. Far too many ads between games and they’re looong ones. I’m moving on.
Stop doing this!!!
Stop highlighting or showing us hints when we haven’t asked for them! It only distracts players because it’s so irritating to see pairs of tiles being highlighted automatically by the game that I’ve lost matches because of it!
I know it’s meant to help, but it makes the game much worse and squeezes the fun out of it. Make it an optional feature/setting instead, just like “Auto-complete”.

New added graphics:
Do not like all the new graphics. Why change what has always worked. They are so annoying. Will not be playing again.
You’re ruining your game with all the stupid ads. Not playing anymore along with all my friends.

I hope you love ads
At first, the game didn’t force too many ads. However, after reaching level 500 or so it has been nothing but ads! It starts with wanting a special move watch an ad, which is fine. But then became, Want to play a round? Gotta watch an ad. It’s become ridiculous.
Много рекламы
There are too many ads, spam, scam apps, online casinos, and other questionable content. App review standards have clearly gotten much worse. The App Store no longer feels safe or trustworthy. I strongly do not recommend using this app.
NOT WHAT GAME PLAY ADDS SHOW
ALL THE Vita Mahjong GAME ADDS HAVE BEEN SHOWING A 3D CYLINDER STYLE GAME BOARD/PLAY . WHEN DOWNLOADED FROM EVERY ADD SHOWING THE 3D CYLINDER PLAY IT ONLY HAS THE FLAT BOARD PLAY OPTION !!!!!
Full of ads
Way too many ads. I spend more time having to watch ads than I do playing the game.
It changes the game mode
First I try to connect the dots with each other and the is mahjong not what I saw in the advertisement
Great game!
I’d love to give this game 5 stars but after purchasing the game I shouldn’t have to still see advertisements. It’s very annoying.
Too much ads
I would pay for an add free version
ADs
An interactive ad after every game. Annoying. Deleting
Ads
I paid for no ads and am still getting them!
Why
Fun game but why on earth does it take up almost 2gb of my data
STOP CHANGING THE TILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP CHANGING THE TILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rip off
Said no ads. Full of ad. Paid for app and cannot get my money back.
Porn Ads
Been playing this game for a while. Recently started advertising a pool game where half naked girls remove their clothes if you make your shot. Absolutely shameful.
Royal Kingdom
Royal Kingdom is an offensive “game”. It repetitively shows up. There is nothing “fun” about killing.
Don’t do it!
Too many ads and one especially portraying woman as victims and men as villains… terrible! Deleting now
Ads
Ads every minute
Misleading
Claims “ no ads” however after completing a game a ad for another game pops up. It isn’t occasionally it’s after each time you win you have to stop and wait for the ad to say ok to end and go back to playing.
Use to love it but
When I started playing Vita it was great, BUT right after a recent update most of my tiles changed to fruit tiles. If you go to their choice of theme tiles they have NO FRUIT TILES. But now I can not get rid of them. I have tried several different things with no results. I play two other Mahjong games with no problems. And they have no fruit tiles for choices. MY ONLY LAST CHOICE IS TO DELETE THE WHOLE GAME AND LOSE AII OF MY Progress
ADS
This game “advertised” that there were no ads. Yea the first day there were no ads and now it’s ad after ad after ad. False
Bait and switch
What good can come from deception? They bait you with one game then switch you to the game they want you to play. I don’t like being deceived.
Loved it until now
I’m on level 297 and whatever the disk things are that got added recently are making me delete this app. Absolute trash.
Fun but ads prevent progress
I enjoy the tiles and the game itself but I can’t ever finish the ads or get out of them without exiting the whole app. It’s enough that I’m over it and going to look for another version of mahjong
Question
Why is this a completely different game than the ad I clicked. I want the game advertised. Not stack and match…? Help
Disappointed
They keep making it more difficult. It is now so difficult that it is no longer fun.
Too many kinks
The game has too many ads and most have hidden links that take you to outside websites you don’t want to go to.
Bait and switch
The images on this description are not true to the game. It’s actually the typical pile of pieces u have to match two to uncover. Complete solo game. Don’t b fooled
Good for a while
Played pretty heavily over past few weeks, but all of a sudden the puzzles got pretty annoying for some reason. Also with the puzzle change came a lot more ads. Before it was an ad every two levels which was bearable but with the latest update or whatever there is an ad after every level. Was fun while it lasted tho.
Not as Advertised
It was shown as a connect the dots without crossing game, but it’s just tile mahjong.
New feature isn't good
I hate how I'm limited on the tile storage on the top, it completely ruins the game. I downloaded because I liked the art style and the matching aspect, I dont want to be limited on the amount of tiles I can match. it removes all fun aspects of the game. nearly 400 levels completed for nothing, which ALSO was reset to only 127 levels completed when I redownloaded? Your advertisements lie
Fun but Ranking System is Horrible
Fun for a While, but Just Deleted This App
No dispute, this tile-matching puzzle game is a lot of fun. However, the league ranking system completely ruins the user experience.
If you do not play continuously, you’ll very rapidly lose your rating and league standing. Stepping away for even a day or two heavily drops you to a lower tier.
It quickly stops feeling like a fun, relaxing game and turns into an exhausting daily chore just to maintain the level you’ve earned.
Unless the developers remove this punishing decay mechanism, I’m done and cannot recommend the game as currently designed.

Damage
It turned out to be good. Then they added the Demonic cards and playing became horrific. The kids don’t even want to play anymore. Why damage a good thing.
bad changes
please take away the new update. i hardly get normal levels anymore it’s all hard, special, or super hard and it makes it incredibly frustrating to play the level. the discs that block tiles and the ice level is not fun please remove them or at least offer an option to toggle it. also i wish you could pick your tile themes instead of it changing all the time
Vita Mahjong
This is a series of long ads broken up by a game! Too many long ads.
Tiles
Wouldn’t even give me an option to change the star sign tiles
Off putting ads
The ads online or social media for this game do not match. Completely different game
Why can’t I just get the puzzle game?
I recently tried the cash out feature to get $400+ but cash out didn’t work? I’m a stupid player I suppose!
Used to be fun
Used to be fun but with new app and updates, it’s no longer as much fun as it’s used to me. Sometimes I just want to play classic game and not pushed into competition and not-relaxing game setup. Disappointing. Atleast give options to users on what mode they want to play. Now it feels like being forced to reshuffle and watch ads constantly.
Love it BUT ….
The ads interfere too much. Once ur can ad, you can’t get out! You are stuck. I have to turn off my phone and on again to get rid of it. I also did not get my extra bonus at 10 games. The ads need an X to leave and return to the game
