Fun play, but set up for failure
Game play in itself is a blast but the “game makers” need to do some serious and very much so obvious updates. 1-This game will set you up with other opponents for example that have 2x if not 3x the disc throwing power, making it impossible to win. (Solution-all opponents should be with in a 1,000 point radius). 2-The game takes forever. Once the button is released and the disc is in the air, there needs to be a fast forward button that the “thrower” can choose to press, this way it doesn’t take 7 minutes just to play 1 opponent. 3-If a player has made the round and the opponent doesn’t even have a chance to even get to the green based on the discs throwing power than the game should just end (there is no need to watch the inevitable obvious play out…it’s a waste of time). Lastly is 4-When playing a round you choose where to throw but unfortunately when you let go the flight pattern completely changes (glitches out) which is extremely frustrating and it messes up many shots. For some reason this happens the most on the “draw match.” This game is great for short term entertainment, but for term, it’s terrible. If the makers of this game want more game play and more money as a business they would take this review very seriously!

In the end it’s horrible
Once you get good they want you to pay for the upgrades and the game becomes aggravating and pointless. Played the game for quite some time but it’s easy to see how many times you play against the same computer over and over. Also after countless plays it isn’t that you get worse rather the computer just won’t allow you to win. I played courses that were easy but once your score goes up all of a sudden you are bad at a course you could Always do well on but since the computer tries to make it “harder” you miss shots you’ve always made. In the end it’s a game fun to play for a short time but once they want to you pay money to get the add one the fun ends.

Easy, Fun but could be soooo much better…
This game is easy to play and is fun too. BUT, the game would be more fun if you could play multiple holes (18 holes would be great). It’s fun collecting new discs and it’s pretty easy to get better and better discs. If you win a match you win a treasure chest which takes either 4 or 8 hours to open. That wouldn’t be bad but you only have 5 slots to fill and you can only open 1 chest at a time unless you want to waste 50+ gems to open one without waiting. And once all the slots are filled you can’t earn anymore for winning matches. So, you either wait 4-8 hours to open a chest or you waste 50+ gems to open them immediately. They should provide more slots, or give money or gems for winning when you have no open slots, or provide 1 extra slot for every 500 gold coins you earn, or some combination of those.
I used to play Golf Rivals and enjoyed it BUT I got bored with it because of all the same reasons I’m bored with Disc Rivals.

Obviously reskinned golf game - not accurate
OK. So game can be fun to play for a while. But as a disc golfer I keep being frustrated by just how inaccurate this is to the real game. After a while it’s obvious that this was just their golf game reskinned for disc golf without any major effort and by someone that didn’t understand disc golf.
1. Discs don’t have major curves like that always. And rarely roll afterwards unless you try hard to do that. And that’s far more advanced than just doing basic throws. It should have been designed to do straight throws mostly. And you upgrade/learn how to curve it for better placement.
2. The idea of sand discs. And rough discs. With limited range. Completely false. And definitely a port from golf. Makes no sense in Disc golf context.
3. The awkward “oops you can’t use your driver disc and now can’t reach the green” with artificial limits on what discs you can use is similarly frustrating. You can throw any disc at any time. Should be the same here.
4. the idea that hitting the ‘pole’ vs going in the basket should be worth scoring at al is just very wrong.
Anyway. Worth some gameplay. But don’t expect physics / rules to be anything like real disc golf.

Wildly Inconsistent and Unrealistic
This game has promise, but it’s basically a ball golf game lazily reformatted to include discs. I’ve played disc golf for years and can attest that at NO time will your disc skip to the left or right as far as your throw was long…
Also, one day the game plays fine and the next you can’t even play against anyone because as soon as an opponent is selected, it just kicks you right back out to the Home Screen. I’ve had five chests that I haven’t been able to open for three days now because of a glitch. I can tap on them and it takes me to the screen where you open them. When I tap on them it makes a noise, but the chests never open. Since the game is now, for all intents and purposes, unplayable, I’ll be deleting as soon as this review is sent.
Very disappointing for a game that had some promise despite its shortcomings.

This game has officially been abandoned
This has been a really fun game that I have enjoyed for over a year now. Despite the relentless attempts to get you to spend money, I never did. I put the time into it and built my status up and now that I have gotten to a level 13, this game has been abandoned. It’s as if the servers do not work anymore. Searching for a match, even again let a robot who takes the same predictable shots, aren’t active anymore. It will not even let me open a chest.
Again, this game used to be really fun. I enjoyed the challenge, even when I knew I wasn’t playing a real person. This game could have been so much bigger than it was. It would have been nice to see more more courses and less emphasis on the constant begging for money. This game is officially dead. Do not waste your time downloading it at this point.

Fun games but match making has been spotty recently
It’s a fun game as a whole. When I first downloaded a few weeks ago it was quick to get a match. In the past week or two it seems like it matches then restarts constantly. It’s annoying. Sometimes it takes like 30 seconds to a minute to find a match
As far as the actual gameplay, it’s pretty fun! It has its challenges but is easy to pick up. The under basket pole finishes are not a real rule in disc golf but it’s all good…it doesn’t take away from the game but actually adds a bit of strategy.
If they can get this matchmaking thing worked out I would give it the 5th star but until then, it’ll be my #2 game behind Clash Royale

Entertains but lacking
Disc golf using a “launcher?” What the heck is a disc launcher? This game also makes it impossible to throw a flat drive without an absolute ton of fade. No adjustment for height, no real disc selection during a hole, no angle of tilt of the disc, no hyzers or anhyzers. This is a convoluted mess that has very little in common with actual disc golf. But nevertheless, I still am enjoying playing it. At least for now. It’s been a week. Probably won’t last long.
Hey developers….at least add a simple button at the end of a round that says “play next basket?” that would allow you to continue playing the same person, should you both agree. This should be an easy and helpful game addition.

Not a very accurate game that cheats
This is another one of those con games that take your money. Don’t pay into this game unless you want to lose money $$. The shots don’t go where they show. But if you pay more money into the game, then all of a sudden your shots are more accurate and go further. But that only last for a few games and then the accuracy goes to pot again until you pay more money. After a couple of games the accuracy of the same shot with same direction and same strength goes in the ditch or trap or rough. So what it means is that the software controls your shots how it wants to. The game has to make you lose so that you get mad and pay in more money. This is another con game that should be taken off Apple store for ripping off the customer.

Solid and engaging for “bite-sized” disc golf play
The thing about some other apps is that once you start a round it’s a big commitment to finish. This is very playable in between things. The game setup is engaging and keeps you wanting to come back for rewards, chests, etc…. It’s a little bit of a money grab in some ways for pay-for-advantage items, but I don’t hate even that part of it.
Overall this is a solid app to have, and fun to play without the time it takes to do a whole round on something like DGV.

Not the best but not the worst
This game is alright. I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max and the screen is cut off at the top so I can’t see how many gems or coins I have. You can’t upgrade your discs until you reach a higher prestige level so that puts you at a disadvantage to others who have played more. The courses are set up so end up in the rough more than the fair way. You also don’t even have to make it in the basket, you can just hit the pin and it’ll count which is a little les fun. You also don’t get gems fast enough to rush opening chests so you can’t upgrade your discs again. Have uninstalled yet but I’m getting pretty bored only after having the game two days.

Great Game App runs smoothly! Would love to see Tournaments ASAP!
I don’t believe you would be able to find a better game Disc Golf game! (I am not receiving any compensation of any sort to write this review)
I play this game religiously one my work phone and my personal phone I have been playing the game since it was released, my only issue with this game is since it was released they have made an update which has made it much easier to get legendary discs unlocked prior to that update it was near impossible with that being said I do believe that there should be a tournament option as there was when the game was released and it would be wonderful if we could rematch the same player!! Please see if that’s possible GR!! thank you... ENJOY The game!

Harassing
This game is fun but the option to make comments during an opponent’s turn is sometimes used as harassment by some users. You prepare to take a shot and your competitor has hit “hurry up” 20 times in 10 seconds. They will tap the comments constantly during your turn which is a form of bullying and harassment. If time is allowed to take the shot time should be given with out your opponent being a jerk about you using your allotted time. Remove the comment option or limit people to make only one comment per shot. Playful banter is one thing but being harassing is definitely different. The encourage and good sportsmanship comments are nice to see. I use those and congratulate an opponent on a good shot.

*** MUST READ / FAKE REVIEWS ***
The game developers are writing fake reviews to help themselves. This one was posted just days ago..
-“Love hate relationship:
It’s a game. It’s not perfect but the developers seem eager and attentive to the community. I respect that above all. Thanks for hours of mindless fun.”..
This is a flat out lie. Absolutely no one that plays this game would say this about the most recent update, and it sounds exactly like what a developer would say about their own game that is tanking.
They actually send you the exact same cut and paste response with every message you send them when they feel like responding. They DO NOT care about the community nor take the time to write an honest response. This game has become a joke and that are trying to make you pay to play their mediocre game. Money is all that they are concerned with, not your experience.
I played this game for quite a while before the new update and would have given it at least 4 stars. I’m not going to get into why the gameplay is terrible now, but gameplay set aside, I’d give this game 0 stars if that were possible with my experience with their customer service. They should be embarrassed.

Favorite game until 2021 update
The new changes have really taken away so much of what made the game fun and exciting. Now seems boring and I always play the same competitors over and over again. I also seem to have been demoted since all levels were open to me and now I have to redo 8 and don’t have access to 9 or above. Please fix.
Update: the recent update continues to be lame. To advance you are trapped playing three holes on the highest level you have achieved. You see “bots” all the time - same shots played against you over and over. The update reduced all earn value from the past and the rewards are so low now it will be years before I earn disc upgrades etc. All the rules and instructions provided do not correlate to the current game. I hopped that this update was a tiered approach but there has been zero communication from developers. Anyone who invested money in this game got taken to the cleaners with the update as there stuff is now valueless. Really appears to be a cash grab by developer and is borderline theft.

Fun and addictive
Update: the developers overhauled the game, changed the scoring and a number of other things and now it’s less fun and less interesting. Boring and repetitive hole selection, you might get the same bike for times out of ten. Not nearly as fun as it used to be, disappointing.
It's got some flaws but the developers are constantly improving it and its a kick to play. And as you build skills you do better, and you are mostly paired against players with similar scores though abilities can wander within that as scores are not accurate reflections of skills. You can play lower challenge games repeatedly and build skills without advancing your score after a certain number of wins, so your"trophy" score is not so accurate an indicator of ability. I've beaten plenty of people with twice the championship scores as me. And lost to people who were just better though with lower scores and fewer games played.
There are some cheats. But rare. One involves aiming at a spot on the water way off course, and the shot carries twice as far as it should. That's irritating because I don't know how to do it yet!
But overall, it's a kick and the tournaments are a great way to really be challenged for a ton of games in a row.
Great game!
I'm 75. I don't play games, except this one and Tiny Wings. I like skill games.

Newest update grew on me
I hated the new update at first. But after playing for a few days it’s grown on me. At first I hated the left and right handed discs. But in reality it doesn’t make much difference, even though it doesn’t make sense. I especially like that you don’t have to give up gold coins to play matches. I found that before I world play less because I didn’t want to risk gold coins. The new system without having to spend coins to play actually makes me play a lot more. So I’m enjoying playing this more often than before. I think I like the new update better!

This game used to be amazing, but after the latest update it is terrible.
I used to play this game religiously at least an hour a day. You would play bots that had fake Facebook profiles often, however I still enjoyed playing. Every other week you could compete in a tournament which was a ton of fun. Had a ton of courses and was really challenging . It went through a recent update that took all that away. Not it is just a dull game and you play the same two holes over and over again. They don’t have tournaments anymore and they also made the holes a lot easier so it is not even fun to play anymore. I haven’t played the game I’m over a week and probably won’t play anymore unless they make big changes again. I was really disappointed because I really liked the game play in the old version. Hopefully I will find another disc golf game to play similar to the old version.

You RUINED THIS GAME!
You had a perfect game but your latest update ruined everything. Changed the mechanics COMPLETELY. Changed the coins earned COMPLETELY. Changed the attributes of the discs I have collected for a year COMPLETELY. Changed the attributes of the launchers I have collected and spent hundreds of dollars on this year COMPLETELY. I spent $100 in January to get 100 launchers with 5 spin. You took that value completely away. They now have a zero spin. The discs I have built up over the year you just scrapped and started over completely. They have completely different attributes. Almost impossible to upgrade any discs now with your new system. I have tried for two weeks to adjust. But the changed are HORRIBLE. I wish I could get all my money back. I will never play this game again. You have ruined it and cheated me out of a years hard work and hundreds of dollars. Goodbye.

They broke the game
With this latest update, I hated it. Everything was different. Discs you worked hard to get are no longer as good as they used to be. Whatever. I got over it and then got used to it. Now the game is glitching out. I was playing a game, and I made my eagle chip in first. My opponent then did the same thing. The game called him the winner. It’s supposed to go to a tiebreaker. But it just gave him the win even though we both got an eagle. Then, 3 games later, my ability to change from left to right disc, or to adjust my launcher or even my disc’s fade and spin. I was locked into the default left handed disc. The entire hole. So I decided I would contact the developers, but it seems the only way you can do that is if you have a FaceBook account. FaceBook is garbage. This game is also now garbage. So I guess I sorta get it.
