My grandmother wants to install Mahjong onto her phone. I couldn’t find any results on the Play Store with no ads or in-app purchases. She doesn’t understand technology and could get tricked into purchasing stuff or compromising her data.

There’s this: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.cwde.freeshisen/
Looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while, but I’d guess that doesn’t matter for a game like this
I saw that, but the description says:
I’m not a Mahjong player, but are Shisen-Sho and Mahjong the same game?
Hmm, looks like they’re slightly different games.
As first, I assumed they were the same, but now that I read the description again, it says it uses Mahjong tiles, but it looks like it’s not Mahjong.
If I find anything else, I’ll let you know.
Do you know what she actually wants to play? Mahjong is a multiplayer game, usually played with four players. Shisen-Sho is a singleplayer game but it is colloquially called Mahjong. When someone says Mahjong they often mean Shisen-Sho without even realising there is a difference.
I ended up installing FreeShisen for her. You’re probably right because she’s looking for a single-player game where you match tiles. She got into “”“Mahjong”“” because it was previously installed on her laptop under that name, i.e. she’s not looking for the “true” or otherwise more obscure game.
Mahjong Solitaire is what you want
