### 4/5 — Love the mechanics in this still!

*2024-05-31, version 1.2.2*

I’ve always enjoyed the throwing motion of swiping more than the pull-back method in the most popular disc golf game… I really hope this gets revived or improved someday. Great game… Still play it almost every day after all these years.

### 2/5 — 2 lockups in 3 hours

*2023-03-31, version 1.2.2*

The physics look right, and the graphics are acceptable, but I can’t deal with the lockups.  The one was caused by a disc landing on it’s edge. 

Also annoying is that you can’t unlock the next hole until you have shot par or better on the current hole.

### 4/5 — Great Controls

*2022-04-05*

I tried several disc golf apps including Disc Golf Valley, Disc Golf Rivals, Stickman and others. I really like the way they did the controls in this one. You pull back and then flick forward, which is how it should be. The game is a little glitchy. It freezes sometimes, especially while putting. The putting should be more forgiving. Sometimes you hit the chains and it still bounces out. Overall though this is my favorite disc golf game app.

### 1/5 — It was cool, until

*2021-04-05, version 1.2.2*

Paid for the app. Played a few rounds on a hole. Love the graphics, physics, selection of discs. But now it won’t play. It’ll let me choose my hole then when I go to tap to play it freezes. Wth? No new updates?

### 5/5 — A lot of fun...

*2020-12-14*

This game is surprisingly good!  The way the disc glides is just like the real world and makes it very addicting to try and get the perfect shot!  The large selection of discs is great, and the reward system seems just right.  It’s not ridiculously hard, but you still have a sense of accomplishment!  If the developer designs more courses, I will not hesitate to get them.  The graphics are not spectacular, but they are good and there is no lag or long load times. I definitely recommend this, even for those who may have never heard of disc golf, it’s fun!

### 1/5 — Ugghhh... waste of money

*2020-10-14, version 1.2.2*

Enough said.....a real snoozer

### 4/5 — New to game

*2020-09-30, version 1.2.2*

I like how this is setup compared to others I have played.  The one course I have played is very much like the real thing.  Putting needs some help but realistic to the point of the chain outs but sometimes would like an option to loft it or shoot straight and hard.  I would also like angles in putting or using a Scoober.  Graphics needs some help.  Recommendations:

- Multiplayer: Games, Friends, Tournament’s
- More throwing styles: Forehand, Tomahawk, Scoober, patent pending
- Putting and Driving Range
- Keep adding courses
- Daily shot challenges for coins
- More Discs, but love the selection in the store already
- Clothing Options
- Avatar Changes
- Putting adding hyzer / anhyzer

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2020-09-19, version 1.2.2*

My most-played game on my devices. Would love some updated course. Great game though.

### 5/5 — Well done.

*2020-08-20*

This game really did a good job with the physics, flight patterns, and building skills as you play. Disc wear cones into play, and the shop has a few options from a bunch of the main manufacturers. Im hooked

I would LOVE to see an option to switch from throwing Backhand to Forehand.
And i would happily pay for an expanded disc store (expanded plastic options, a few more discs from each company, maybe dyed options?)

### 4/5 — Developers Please...

*2020-08-09*

The description says Invite Friends to play. It shows logging in through the Game Center when launching the app. Please give us the ability to invite friends to play with us. I'm sure many fans of your app would gladly pay for the upgrade. I certainly wood.

I used to think Unchained was the best disc golf game available. However the more I play Disc Golf Game the more it is winning me over. The flight characteristics are much more accurate physics IMHO. The only thing missing for me is Multiplayer. My brother is halfway around the world and multiplayer is our only way to play disc golf together.
