Not quite
This app would be perfect, except the scoring for the European Classical rules are off on some major items. The exposed pung of dragons should be 4 and not 8. The concealed pung of dragons should be 8 and not 16. The exposed kong of dragons should be 16 and not 32. Finally, the concealed kong of dragons should be 32 and not 64.
Hopefully this will be corrected in the future. I don't know about the other scoring systems.
Needs some work
This app works... kind of. When composing your hand the "Tile Keyboard" selector only appears when you hold your finger down in the empty space under the scoring area. This is probably just a bug. I am using an iPhone 4 and iOS 4.1.
Cool App... but
For the Japanese Scoring, there is no faint dora text in the concealed or exposed areas. Please fix this, as that really affects the score on many occasions.
*** I see how to do dora now... ug.. not that intuitive. You have to tap on the tile that is on the board. I like how that works, but it could be much more intuitively designed.
That said:
This is a great App... This will allow me to play and teach how to play Mahjong. Thanks. Well worth the $1.99 and then some. There really is a
Update!
It was great at first but now I can't scroll down and can't choose the tiles for the winning hand plz update😢
Awesome!
As a new Riichi player trying to get their head around the complicated scoring rules, this app is amazing and does exactly what I need in my games. The only reason I don't give five stars is some really annoying UI lag (between clicking a button and the app reacting is about a second delay)
In any case, thanks to the dev!
Trouble with marking who the person was that provided the discard tile!
I really like this app! It works well for what I am able to do with it. But I can’t seem to be able to assign the discard person in the hand score area! What am I doing wrong or not doing right!
Well worth the download!
I’ve been playing Mahjong for years, but calculating hand scores has always been my weak suit. This app takes that stress away. Highly recommended for any serious Mahjong players!
great app, absolutely worth the price.
I am a bit skeptical when it comes to apps that charge for things that are commonly free but this app does something a lot of online apps don’t do: it keeps score.
it is also very intuitive once you get the hang of it. but getting the hang of it can take some experimentation so please be warned.
The only issue I have is that it does not have an option to take into account double yakuman in riichi.
Missing features I wanted
The hand scorer doesn't recognize a lot of limit hands and won't allow nonstandard hands (all pairs, 13 orphans, etc) to be entered. Still a useful little app, though.
Great App with a few errors
App works well and is easy and intuitive to use. There are a few errors in the HK score set, such as an all pung hand should be 3 fan.
Hope these are corrected in the future. I’ve been just adding flowers to “correct” it at this point.
