Description

Mahjong is an enjoyable game, played around the world. However, for beginners (and even more experienced players!), calculating the value of a hand can be confusing. On top of that, payments between players after the value of each hand is calculated can also be tricky.
Mahjong Helper aims to simplify the tasks of scoring and payments between games. It can also be used to keep a history of matches played, and to easily experiment with different methods of scoring.
Features:
* Multiple Matches
* Beautiful, easy-to-read tiles.
* Hand Scorer with intuitive tile/set-type selector (press, slide, and release to choose a tile)
* Supports European Classical, Hong Kong, Japanese Modern / EMF Riichi (with Dora tiles and Red Fives), and Chinese Official (MCR / Competition) scoring
* 4, 3, and 2 player scoring modes
* Send scores from Hand Scorer to Score Sheet, or enter scores manually.
* Score Sheet calculates payments between players, supports "Ready" declarations and counters in Japanese Mahjong.
* see how the score is calculated on the "Scoring" panel - great for those learning the game, or just to double-check!
* Supports seat rotation between rounds, or groups that prefer keeping the same positions throughout.
* Share matches across devices - other players can keep a record of the match & contribute to scoring from their own devices. Requires a data connection.
* Print score sheets to your AirPrint-enabled printer!
I hope you like it!

Dont like it

MrAbodi on

Australia

When selecting players front eu drop down the first name is mostly obscured making it very difficult to select. As for usability I have no idea how to move to the next player to enter their hand. As above I can change between players but that is making those tiles appear on each player.

Elegantly created App

kw+mw on

THANK YOU for creating this tool. I too used to love playing Mah Jong with my sister and grandparents during school holidays when I was little, (so young, that to begin with, our favourite part was knocking down and rebuilding the wall) but the knowledge of correct scoring unfortunately has disappeared as my grandparents have aged. I have tried to learn and play as an adult and hope to use this tool more as an aid to double check my scoring as I learn rather than to replace learning how to score. Very elegant, user friendly app, does what is says on the box.

Does not work well with japanese rules

Hard to pick tiles for hand on iPhone, does not have wide mode. chinese calls. (not Chii, kan, pon, Ron). Does cannot edit once you enter next round.

Trouble with marking who the person was that provided the discard tile!

BibleLovingDude on

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.

Legomaker101 on

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.

iPhone user, app doesn’t work for me

e.chow on

Downloaded the app and wasn’t able to input any tiles down to score.

Great App with a few errors

BChia on

United States

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.

Excellent For Riichi

Rathenix on

United States

This app is terrific for keeping score in Riichi Mahjong. I can understand being skeptical about paying for an app that does something as complicated and esoteric as scoring mahjong, but this app really nails it. The interface can be a little tricky, and you need to explore a bit to figure out exactly what to do, but otherwise it's perfect. You can enter what tiles were in your hand and it will be scored for you automatically. There's also a summary page that shows you the breakdown of how both the han and fu of your hand were calculated. And if that's not your thing, you can always just manually enter the amounts. The app is designed to track a whole Han-Chan and keeps track of everything from missed Riichi points to the current bonus round. There are also settings for some optional rules like forbidding open Tanyao. All in all, a really good app that covers everything, explains everything, and just works. Well worth a measly two bucks.

Missing features I wanted

Akiko86 on

United States

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.
