Can you play mahjong on your phone?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes — there are apps to play mahjong solo or online against others, and, for a real in-person table, apps that keep score for you so nobody has to do the faan maths by hand. Two different things people mean by "mahjong on your phone": Playing the game digitally — apps let you play against AI or real people online. Japanese Riichi in particular has big online platforms. Keeping score for a real table — when you're playing in person with friends and physical tiles, the tedious part is the scoring. A scorekeeper app handles it: you tap the winning hand, it works out the faan and settles who pays who, live on everyone's phone. That's Mahjiku. A live scorekeeper for real mahjong nights — custom house rules, automatic settlement, points only. Free on iOS & Android.
