I have been playing the game for a day countless ads just to progress and now instead of the usual 30 min you seem to throw at me randomly I now can’t play for 8 hours or skip for 200 gems? ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-08-17, version 1.5.2* Good game, but status and energy is a bit crazy… also if you complete to many season it asks you to spend even more coins. Bit much I think ### 3/5 — Reasonable *2026-08-15, version 1.5.2* Reasonable once you figure it out ### 2/5 — Boring waste of time *2026-08-12, version 1.4.1* You don’t actually play golf, it’s a text based “game” and the leveling up has zero impact of skill / score plenty of other better games out there ### 3/5 — Should be called “Ad Simulator” *2026-07-20, version 1.3.9* This game has a lot of potential. However, ads make it almost unbearable. They’re are 2 minute ads that you have no option but to watch if you want your player to play well. Your only option to regain stamina is to watch these 2 minute ads. And the fact that you have to wait 8 hours to start a new season or pay $15 for diamonds is brutal. You move up the battle pass incredibly slow as well. ### 3/5 — Fun concept *2026-07-20, version 1.3.9* Fun concept but wish I could atleast sort of designate how my player plays. There is one pic in the App Store that makes i look like you can call the shots but you can’t unless Im missing something ### 3/5 — All star matches and club upgrades *2026-07-01, version 1.3.7* Overall the game is fun and entertaining but it is way to difficult to upgrade ur clubs high enough to play in the all star matches. Unless you want spend hundreds of dollars (which no one will) to get ur clubs high enough you will be stuck at the roughly the same levels. I played when you didn’t need a certain level of clubs to play all star matches, and now that has been changed and a very fun portion of the game is now stuck behind a pay wall. Super unfortunate. ### 2/5 — Money Hungry *2026-06-19, version 1.3.6* It is pretty fun I really enjoy the career aspect of it. However at a certain point you have to spend money to even continue playing the game. It is filled with ads in order to play the game. You go from shooting well under par, to shooting like 80 when you get up to tier b. makes no sense. It’s such a cool concept and has very fixable problems. ### 4/5 — Don’t understand somethings *2026-04-10, version 1.3.3* I don’t understand some of the things in the game and there is a glitch where your stats are split across 2 seasons ### 2/5 — Skill issues *2025-11-26, version 1.2.9* You get worst when you upgrade your stats💀 ### 2/5 — Skill issues *2025-11-24, version 1.2.9* You can’t even win a tournament when you get good lol ### 1/5 — Money hunger add obsession *2025-09-11, version 1.2.6* Truly I never played a game with so many adds in my life and it’s almost hard to believe so I started to time it cause I was losing my mind I’m not being dramatic but every 18-22 seconds I was receiving an ad and I honestly couldn’t believe it, just by that mathematical your getting 3 adds per minute and 180 per hour it’s honestly ridiculous the game is fun and it’s a slow grind b it the grind feels even slower cause the add, this game is more of a how many adds can you watch game rather than playing it. ### 2/5 — Unlogisch *2025-08-22* Dieses Spiel hat keinen klaren Faden. Super simpel aufgebaut, was nicht schlimm ist. Aber es ist nicht erkennbar wie man wirklich besser wird. Man levelt im Training auf und wird im Spiel schlechter. Scheint mir sehr darauf aus zu sein das man sich für Geld Diamanten holt um aufzuleveln ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-06, version 1.5.5* For every 1 minute of game play (good), there is 3 minutes of ads (bad) ### 1/5 — Ads don’t work *2026-08-29, version 1.5.4* The ads don’t work so you can’t proceed in the game it doesn’t let you do anything if you can’t play the ads waste of money ### 1/5 — これは、、、 *2026-08-04* 何が目的なのか分からず **Developer response:** ご不便をおかけし、誠に申し訳ございません。今後もゲーム内容の最適化を図るとともに、チュートリアルやゲーム内機能の解説を改善してまいります。ご意見やご要望がございましたら、お気軽に tojoygame@gmail.com までご連絡ください。 ### 1/5 — No free players *2026-08-03, version 1.4.1* This whole rising star series is horrendous. No matter what I do I can never get a ad to load its diamonds only. Absolutely trash games every single one of them need to come down and be burned. Do not download this game total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2026-07-21, version 1.3.9* So far been trying to figure out how this game works, and what I am supposed to do to become a rising golf star. There is no assistance no tutorial no coaching and upgrades are so extremely time consuming if at all available. And on top of that it’s infected with adds at every turn, you can’t navigate anything without needing to watch ads. Poorly made game has so much potential but obviously hired lazy shortcut developers to make these games ### 1/5 — Ad after ad after ad. *2026-06-16, version 1.3.6* Just pure garbage. No way to pay to remove ads, can’t do anything without an ad popping up. Hope it doesn’t lock up and force you to watch a second or close the app down because it froze. You don’t actually play golf - you just kind of tell your coach what you want to focus on and the game tells you how you did in the round. Then you use your experience to level up your character after watching 3 or 4 ads. Took me about 3-5 minutes to delete. ### 1/5 — Idea good, execution bad *2026-05-28, version 1.3.4* If you love ads download this. You are watching ads more often than you play the game. and there are pay walls with no way around aside from waiting 8 hours or spending $ for absolutely nothing, just to continue playing. I waited the 8 hours to see how it continues. Game bugged out and with no updates for weeks from the dev im not holding my breath for a fix. The report system brings you to a webpage that doesnt even work when you try to submit an issue or suggestion. Not worth your time in my opinion unless the dev lessens on the ads and gets rid of the useless paywalls. Also your player either plays horrible or plays great and there is no way to change it. Its just random. Your level and skills have no correspondence to how your player does. ### 1/5 — Good game but spend more time watch ads than playing *2025-11-30* This is a decent game but the ads are way too much. You may get to play for around 2 minutes before you have to watch 2 minutes worth of ads. I’m sorry but a 50/50 split of game time to ads is a joke **Developer response:** We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We will carefully consider and evaluate the balance between in-game ad design and player experience to bring more fun to everyone.

Thank you for your support! ### 1/5 — Skill issues *2025-11-28, version 1.2.9* Waste of time the game makes no sense when u upgrade your player you get worst ### 1/5 — Fairly entertaining but full of ads *2025-09-22, version 1.2.6* It takes a grind to level up your player enough to compete. Ads pop up every few rounds you play and there are barriers that require you to spend money on gems to continue or watch ads to continue. If you want to sit down and play this for more than a few minutes at a time prepare to spend money or spend more time watching ads to continue or to rebuild your stamina/status. There isn’t a tutorial or anything to show you what you should be doing so you just have to dive into it and figure it out in your own. When you play versus mode it doesn’t feel consistent it seems like you could shoot the same shot twice and they won’t both end up in the same area, it also plays you against the same handful of bots match after match (Sarah Smith, Emily Smith, John Smith……) and they shoot ridiculously low scores sometimes that aren’t remotely realistic. Perfectly played holes always result in par there’s no chance to get birdie or better the par isn’t accurate. I downloaded this and it showed up on my phone right next to “EA Golf Clash” and the logo is literally a 1:1 ripoff with the EA logo taken away. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-29* Au top du top ce jeu !!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-22* Easy fun good moment ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-07-19* Good game ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2026-03-20, version 1.3.3* Love this and the Baseball Versiob Need a Hockey Version! ### 5/5 — Testy *2026-01-04, version 1.3.1* Tread ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-11-16, version 1.2.8* Fun ### 5/5 — New game idea *2025-11-01, version 1.2.7* Can you make a track game where you can play with your club,school, and national team and you start from elementary ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-15, version 1.2.3* Good like cm ### 5/5 — Don’t waste ur time *2025-06-26, version 1.1.7* Game sucks as ur stats get better u get worse and can’t win a tournament it’s stupid waste of time don’t download ### 5/5 — Beautiful game *2025-06-12, version 1.1.7* Man I really love this game!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
