### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 4/5 — I love this game.

*2020-02-03*

So I have been playing this game for 2 years now . I think it matches physics better than any other disc golf game . I would love to see more courses and maybe a quicker way to get points throughout the game . Maybe a closer to the pin on approaches maybe if you get within 5m from the pin you can get 50 or 100 points . Please devs I’ll buy everything you guys come up with . Thank you

### 4/5 — Fun and realistic!

*2020-01-17, version 1.2.2*

Great fun an realistic game , wish there was a forehand option though.

### 4/5 — Update?

*2019-10-20, version 1.2.2*

This game is the best disc golf game out there, when will you add more courses and discs?

### 2/5 — Unfortunate

*2019-10-17, version 1.2.2*

It is to bad the game is so inconsistent, the same disc goes every which way and the chain outs are ridiculous.  It could be such a fun game but even in real life I’m not this inconsistent.

### 4/5 — Needs update! Very fun to play!

*2019-08-24, version 1.2.2*

Love this game. Play it a lot, but I would love to see new courses and new discs in the shop. The sport has grown so much and there are a lot more options out there when it come to plastic selection. If we could get these two updates and maybe a way to play against friends or challenge others that would be great.

### 4/5 — Amazing app

*2019-05-13*

This is one of my favorite apps to use. So much fun, especially when I'm unable to go play real DG. I would LOVE to see some new courses added though! The last update with the new course was awesome and was a much-needed refresher.

My only issue with this game is how out-of-bounds throws are scored. Instead of counting as 2 strokes (1 for the throw, 1 for the penalty stroke), they only count as 1. Also, when I throw OB, instead of having to re-throw from the same spot, I would like to be able to play from where I was last in-bounds.

Other than those two things, I absolutely love this app and continue coming back to it.

### 3/5 — Issues

*2019-04-28, version 1.2.2*

Really like this game!!! My only issue is the sound quit and I see no options for help!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2019-02-21, version 1.2.2*

Great game. I’ve been playing it for years now. Nothing bad to say about it other than the occasional spit outs. It would be awesome if there was a PvP mode, and maybe some tougher courses. But I still rate this 5 stars. Great work!

### 2/5 — Nope

*2019-02-21, version 1.2.2*

I hate the OB. You never know where it’s at, there’s needs to be a map of the hole. The putting is pretty bad. Can’t change the angle of the disc when putting. Also if you hit chains there’s like a 10% chance it goes in the basket.

### 3/5 — Good game but

*2019-02-11, version 1.2.2*

Good game, but putting is too difficult

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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?

### 1/5 — Ugghhh... waste of money

*2020-10-14, version 1.2.2*

Enough said.....a real snoozer

### 1/5 — Update

*2020-01-19, version 1.2.2*

This could be the best DiscGolf game but,you got lazy... the only reason this app holds space is in the hopes of you guys making a mf update..................... add discs,new tees, just something.F

### 1/5 — Difficult to play

*2020-01-04, version 1.2.2*

Not fun others are better

### 1/5 — Ehhhh

*2019-11-03, version 1.2.2*

It’s a ok game needs a better putting and throwing system

### 1/5 — Power and aiming needs to be fixed

*2019-02-04, version 1.2.2*

You can be putting from 6m away and move your finger straight back and forward and your disc would hook right or left! Disc barely goes where your aiming! You can drive 90-100m but when it’s comes to your second throw with the same disc you just threw 90-100m you can only throw it half the distance!? This game makes me rage! These issue needs to be fixed for this game to be actually fun!

### 1/5 — Crash

*2018-07-10, version 1.2.2*

My app crashes as soon as I touch screen to play, total freeze since update 1 w ago.

### 1/5 — May I have a refund please?

*2018-05-17, version 1.1*

I appreciate the time and effort that this game took but I don’t feel that 4 dollars is fair to charge. Please refund or point in the right direction. Thank you

### 1/5 — Terribly inconsistent!!

*2017-03-16, version 1.1*

I really wanted to like this game but just couldn't bring myself to. I spent a lot of time buying discs and upgrading, but my throws and putts are still incredibly inconsistent. Most of my throws don't go where I aim. I don't understand why you can adjust throwing angle and power but your throw may be different based on how you swiped. Swipe or throwing power/angle needs to guide your throw, not both. Also, the app needs a forehand option. If you get stuck behind a tree there is no way to throw around it. Huge waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2017-03-11, version 1.1*

The basis of the game is good. There's a lot of features like disc selection and disc angle on your throw but the game runs really bad half the time when you try to aim it throws it on accident. Also you can line up the shot how you want it but depending how you swipe your throw goes nowhere near your line. Lastly, the putting is terrible and it never goes where you aim. Very frustrating.

### 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!

### 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?)

### 5/5 — Update

*2020-04-05, version 1.2.2*

Please update this app soon

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing game! But...

*2020-03-08, version 1.2.2*

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love playing this game!! I just wish it could be updated with new discs, new courses, etc

### 5/5 — Really good

*2020-03-06, version 1.2.2*

I play real world disc golf and the mechanics and responsiveness of this game are pretty much just right. I enjoy it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-11-15*

Absolutely love playing this game and honestly probably play it more than I should! It’s pretty realistic especially since you can literally grip lock it or not throw it hard enough depending on where and how fast your finger is released. I would love to see another course and a few more discs added but the thing I would like to see the most is being able to play a forehand/sidearm/flick shot if it had a forehand it would rap the whole game together and really be the most realistic disc golf game there is!

### 5/5 — Please make bigger

*2019-07-27, version 1.2.2*

It’s a great game but needs to get bigger with newer discs and more courses and tournament mode

### 5/5 — Needs new courses!!

*2019-05-29, version 1.2.2*

Love it though.

### 5/5 — A couple new additions?

*2019-03-23*

Love this game. Catch myself playing it for way too long! I think forehands/flicks should be an option and maybe a little more ground play. For instance, some of these discs should be skipping like crazy when they hit the ground or water. Also, like everyone else has probably said, a new course or two would be amazing! Overall a really fun game and the physics actually do the sport some pretty good justice.
