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.

    I saw that, but the description says:

    Shisen-Sho is a Japanese tile-based game which uses Mahjong tiles.

    I’m not a Mahjong player, but are Shisen-Sho and Mahjong the same game?

      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.
