To many ads

### 4/5 — I like it

It’s really good

### 4/5 — I like this game but it has too many ads.

*2023-03-01, version 2.0*

I like golf just like this game but this game has too many ads. Thank you if you lowered the rate of ads.

### 3/5 — ?

*2022-07-09, version 1.19*

Great game until you try to use the purple (x3 strength and income) ball…

### 1/5 — $7.99 Per Week???

*2021-01-19, version 1.19*

Honestly, are there people out there that pay $8 per week for the game?

### 3/5 — Fun but broken

*2021-01-05, version 1.19*

The gameplay is fun but I’m not able to watch any ads to get jackpots or power ups. Every single button that would open an ad simply says there’s a connection problem and won’t load anything.

### 1/5 — Good app, but... no internet connection?

*2020-10-17, version 1.19*

Have enjoyed playing but when I try to increase my coin haul I get “no internet connection”. WiFi is enabled and working properly on my iPad Pro. What’s the deal? Try googling Golf Boy and get no results.

### 4/5 — Update please!

*2020-09-25, version 1.19*

It’s been a year! We need more content!

### 1/5 — I BEG OF YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT PLAY THIS!!

*2020-04-25*

Okay when I say don’t play it I actually mean it! They COPIED another game called baseball boy this is not okay and you should not copy other games it is really not cool and also there is ads galore so please please please please!! You are basically giving the developers money when you play so please don’t play this they literally copied another game and this is not okay.. And your probably like “Ugh she’s just jelly and she just is talking about the concept blah blah blah” no! Not at all! This game copied EXACTLY like baseball looks like when you upgrade something it look exactly how you upgrade something in baseball boy! And when you swing and there is a thing with colors and you try to go on the green that looks EXACTLY like in baseball boy and that is exactly what you do! Honestly they should take this game down for copying another game! This is not okay I repeat this is not okay! 🙄

### 4/5 — Glitches at high scores but fun.

*2020-04-06, version 1.19*

In the Winter world, red and purple balls will go backwards if hit accurately at high power and at 22000 feet when Power = 740, Speed = 720, the yellow ball behaves the same so cannot get any more distance. A fun game though and worth the effort to get high scores. Didn’t pay but suffered the Ads. Enjoy.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-05-22, version 3.0*

I couldn’t even get into the game. I just sat at a black screen that said loading for 30 minutes

### 1/5 — Flaw

*2025-04-20*

Great game to many adds tho on top of that with the little gems you earn to get the gold gold balls to get you more money use all of them before you make an achievement and get other ones for free if not the gold ones you spent your gems on will disappear after you get done with the ones you earn from achievements. Very stupid in my opinion done with the game after that

### 1/5 — Ads even if you don’t click on them

*2024-11-14, version 2.6*

COME ON

### 1/5 — On the fairway…

*2024-11-03, version 2.6*

On the fairway on the fairway on the fairway… hell nah

### 1/5 — Ad after every swing

*2024-01-31, version 2.0*

Title is self explanatory everytime I went to swing there was a ad wall there’s more ad time than playing time

### 1/5 — LESS ADS

*2023-05-09, version 2.0*

I wish you guys would add NO ADS FOR 1.99 TOO MANY ADS the ads are stupid people will delete the game if you guys keep doing ads. 😡

### 1/5 — Ads After Every Turn

### 1/5 — Good game

*2021-09-25, version 1.19*

I really like the game it’s a fun time passer but when I try to watch a ad for more coming or golden ball it says I’m not connected to the internet when my internet works for everything else and other games no problem please fix this.

### 5/5 — Jackpot launch

*2020-12-12, version 1.19*

Hello

Love the game as I am also a fan of baseball boy but
The jackpot launch add will not load. It keeps saying “ check internet connection “
Yet my connection is fine and I’m getting updates for sports news etc so something in the game is wrong. Can you please look into this as I would like to try the jackpot slot attempt 
Thanks in advance.

### 5/5 — Golf Boy

*2020-12-04*

Golf Boy, it’s a great game to play in your free time! Super fun and engaging and it’s just really well made, I do wish that the levels would change the scenery but it’s okay! I like all of the players and how you  can get new ones. I also love how far the ball goes and how you can upgrade the clubsc
