REVIEW
Mahjong Master 2 is a competent webOS shoulder-shrug.
Inlogic's tile-matching solitaire variant arrives on LG webOS with the genre's basic furniture in place and very little reason to pick it over the dozen near-identical alternatives in the same store.

Mahjong Master 2 is exactly the app the genre and the platform predict. Tile-matching solitaire on a smart TV is a known shape — pointer at the tiles, click two that match, repeat until the layout clears — and Inlogic has shipped enough of these on enough stores that the fundamentals arrive intact. What does not arrive is any reason to prefer this version over the half-dozen other free Mahjong apps already on the LG Content Store.
The Magic Remote is the saving grace. Mahjong wants a cursor, not a D-pad, and webOS gives it one. Tiles select cleanly, undo and shuffle map to the coloured buttons, and a round moves at roughly the pace it would on a phone. That is the high water mark; everything else — the menu art, the music, the lack of any progression metadata — sits in the territory of casual-TV-game work that has not been updated in years.
This is a competent shoulder-shrug, not a recommendation. The genre minimum is met. The free price tag is honest. Anyone choosing this over the equally-free alternatives in the same store will not regret it, and will also not have any particular story to tell about it afterwards.
Mahjong Master 2 does the genre minimum on LG webOS — tiles match, layouts unlock, and that is roughly the whole pitch.
FEATURES
Mahjong Master 2 is the LG webOS port of Inlogic's casual-games house style of tile-matching solitaire — the classic Shanghai-rules variant where you pair identical free tiles from a stacked layout until the board clears. The catalogue covers the genre's expected board shapes (turtle, pyramid, dragon, and a handful of seasonal arrangements) and the standard 144-tile set.
Controls are Magic Remote pointer plus directional-pad fallback. Hints, undo, and shuffle are wired to the coloured-button shortcuts on the remote, which is the right call for a TV game — anything that needs a soft keyboard would be friction.
The app is free with no visible in-app purchases on the webOS listing and no sign-in. There is no leaderboard, no cloud-save, no profile system. Progress is local to the TV.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The pointer-driven tile selection works. Mahjong is a hit-test game more than a reflex game, and the Magic Remote's hover-and-click pattern is genuinely the right input for this genre on a TV — better than directional navigation, better than a phone-app companion. The hit boxes are forgiving without being sloppy.
Free with no friction is the other genuine win. No account, no upsell prompt, no subscription wall. Install, play, close — the casual-TV-game contract executed honestly.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The presentation is years behind the current state of smart-TV casual games. Tile art is flat, the menu chrome is generic, and the background music is the same loop you have heard on a hundred other free Mahjong apps. None of this breaks the game; all of it tells you the app has not had a real visual update in a long while.
No progress sync between devices, no statistics tracking beyond per-session, and no daily-challenge structure to bring you back. Inlogic's competing titles on Tizen and Fire TV have the same gaps — this is a developer issue, not a webOS port issue.
CONCLUSION
Install it if you want a no-account, no-cost Mahjong solitaire on the TV and you do not care what it looks like. Skip it if you are picky about presentation — the Microsoft Mahjong app on competing platforms sets a much higher visual bar, and several other free webOS Mahjong apps look comparably tired. The genre fundamentals are intact; the polish is not.
