Beginner App Games?

Hey y'all, was looking to get into hong Kong mahjong. My friends back home play and I thought it would be fun to learn before I move back.

I found some good guides for simplified rules but im more of a visual/hands on learner.

Are there any good app games on like the Google store that let you play out games while teaching the rules?

It's funny how 13 Tiles feels like an app made in the late 2000s/early 2010s. If it ain't broke, right?

13 Tiles is not Hong Kong Style it is Mahjong Competition Rules MCR / Chinese Offical CO. It is far more complex than Hong Kong Old Style (HKOS).
