Getting started
How do I start?
Tap New group, name it, and add the people you play with. Then tap Start game night.
How does the scoring work?
Tap the Help tab, then How scoring works. It explains every rule in plain language, with examples.
We play by different rules. Can I change them?
Yes. Open your group, tap More house rules, and set the stake, what the discarder pays, the jokerless bonus, the kitty, the nightly limit and more. Each game night remembers the rules it started with.
Fixing a mistake
I logged a hand wrong.
Tap Undo on the bar that appears right after saving, or open any hand in the hand log to correct or delete it. The totals update themselves.
I ended the night by mistake.
Open the night and tap Reopen game night. Only the most recent night can be reopened.
The unlock and your records
How do the free game nights work?
Game nights are free for 7 days or 3 nights, whichever comes first. The 7 days start with your first game night, and a night counts once you log its first hand. After that, Unlock everything is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Everything you have saved stays either way.
I bought the unlock but the app still looks locked.
Tap Settings, then Unlock everything, then Restore purchase. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple Account you bought it with.
I got a new phone. Where is my data?
Mahj Nights keeps everything on your device. If you move to a new phone using an iCloud or computer backup, your game nights come with you. The app does not sync between devices on its own. Use Restore purchase to bring your unlock across.
Can I get a copy of my records?
Yes. Tap Settings, then Share your records. The copy opens as spreadsheets.
Money
Does money move through the app?
No. Mahj Nights only keeps score and shows who owes whom.
How do I ask for a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
