### 4/5 — Entertaining:

*2017-02-06, version 1.6.0*

Love to play that game, very entertaining also very relaxing somehow....!

### 4/5 — Fun, addictive, Simple

*2016-08-30, version 1.0.3*

It's one a game that you can just pick up and go with. Don't worry about anything and just keep on playing.

### 4/5 — Good time waster

*2016-08-28, version 1.0.3*

It's perfect for when you don't have anything better to do, game works well too.

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2016-08-25, version 1.01*

Simple and addictive game. Perfect to play when you have a few minutes to spare

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2016-08-23, version 1.0.3*

This is a Great update to JM2.   Shorter runway makes throws more controllable.  Greatly improved menus make the much easier to navigate.  The addition of coin system makes loosing super skill a thing of the past.  This version has a much more immersive league experience.  They even restored my lost account.  The only thing I would add is Fireworks when I have a new best throw, lol

### 3/5 — Very fun, but also very fustrating!

*2016-08-22, version 1.01*

All in all, the game is alot of fun and a great way to kill some time. As mentioned in other reviews, the "target line" must be hit perfectly to get a great throw. Ok so whats the problem? The difference between perfect and a tiny but early or late affects the throw DRAMATICALLY! 
Ok my second complaint, and the reason I am beginning to really dislike the game is when competing against others (well thier prerecorded results) and you get the thrower just standing there. Ok so maybe the other player took a phone call, answered a text message, went to the toilet, or whatever else may have happened, but they set thier phone down and didnt complete thier turn. WHY DO I NEED TO SIT THERE FOR MINUTES WAITING TO THROW!!!!! It takes no more than FIVE seconds to throw! Even if you make the max 10 seconds before ending the throwers turn, but there needs to be SOMETHING!!!

### 5/5 — Fun and addicting

*2016-08-21, version 1.0.2*

I've been playing for a few weeks. Super fun time killer. I'm almost at the points where my stats are maxed out, but I still see other users throwing way further than I am. I don't understand this piece of the game, but it's still very fun.

### 3/5 — Won't play with this glitch (negative money)

*2016-08-21, version 1.0.2*

Don't know if I missed something. Made 6000 coins using passes and bought Elmo. The next day I'm -5700. That's negative, meaning any money I make is just trying to get back to 0. Meaning with no money I can't buy passes and with no passes making 5k would take forever. No thanks. I'll update my review when my account is reviewed and updated. 
Other than that fun game to waste time. Can play for a minute or an hour at a time.

### 5/5 — Simple, yet addictive

*2016-08-19, version 1.0.2*

Top notch. Easy and nostalgic, but surprisingly addictive and fun to play. Like the track and field games from waaaayyyy back!

### 5/5 — Fun addicting app!!

*2016-08-18, version 1.0.2*

Doesn't take long to get your guy throwing far and competing with some of the best! Good luck

### 4/5 — Won't open

*2016-08-15, version 1.0.2*

I love the game, but since today morning I can't get it to work. After the first loading screen, it turns light blue, and doesn't do anything :(

### 5/5 — Best of the series!

*2016-08-14, version 1.0.2*

This game is by far my favorite of all the previous in the line. The gameplay mechanics are by and large very similar, but with far more customization of your character available.

### 3/5 — Fun, but no long-term play potential for me.

*2016-08-13, version 1.0.2*

The mechanics of this game, while unique, don't seem practical. My thumb gets tired, and I am thinking it's supposed to be taxing because it replicates a sport, however taxing just my thumb is not so fun to me...

It also seems like there isn't really anything to work toward. It's like, I guess you can get your javelin throw farther...

This is a basic game that is quite true to the sport... Just isn't much there for me.

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2018-11-24, version 1.7.2*

Need wind feature again.

### 1/5 — Flawed

*2017-06-14, version 1.6.0*

I like the game but when I quit and return to play later it subtracts 2000 points from my score!

### 1/5 — This update turned a nicely addictive app

*2017-01-14, version 1.5.0*

To a POS. The things that made it fun as now gone, if now falls i to the boredom trap and gets old really quick. No wind to play takes at least half the fun away, and it costs a fortune to purchase new features that once purchased, yield absolutely ZERO perceptible improvement. Deleting a once fun but now just frustrating rip off "game". Bring back the wind, return the pay for performance through hard work and repetition or forget my patronage

### 1/5 — Disturbing 🔫🔪

*2016-08-20, version 1.0.2*

This app is oddly weird. The clouds have faces and when I first saw the app it looked fun but after a few days my child and I started to have nightmares of constipated clouds. Do not recommend 1 out of 10
The screams of the javelin thrower still rings in my ears  and haunts me in my nightmares. The coach in this game is very critical and hurt my feelings very much. Nothing I do is good enough. My child came crying to me one day because the coach told him he wasn't throwing hard enough. After a few days of playing I went into a depression because of all the coaches mean comments! He is not a coach he is a BULLY. I HATE THIS GAME.

### 1/5 — Racist Game

*2016-08-10, version 1.01*

Played for about ten minutes when a window popped up with an offer from my in-game "agent", asking if I'd like to make more game-money by watching an ad. The reason I will be deleting this game is the graphic used for the agent -- a man with a exaggerated nose, surrounded by coins, who is clearly meant to represent a Jew. The use of this caricature, which is often used by anti-Semites, is racist, ignorant, and enraging.

### 1/5 — Anti-semitic

*2016-08-09, version 1.01*

So I was playing the game and a pop-up appeared asking me if I wanted to earn some coins. The graphic(image) used for the pop-up features a man with an exaggeratedly big nose and evil grin on his face. This is indicative of the propaganda posters used in Nazi Germany to humiliate and dehumanize the Jews. Make no mistake about it—this was intentional, and it's really obvious how when you see the image. Disgusting that the devs snuck this in.

### 1/5 — Pay to Win Micropayment Cash Grab

*2016-08-07, version 1.01*

Graphics and sound effects are awful and gameplay is worse.   You start with a sub-par athlete with sub-par equipment.   Your only hope of competing is to buy upgrades that only last for a short time.    An amateur attempt at a pay to win game.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2017-05-23, version 1.6.0*

This is very fun it just needs work on the multiplayer. It never connects and takes forever to load

### 2/5 — Rigged-Pay to Win

*2016-08-20, version 1.0.2*

Let me start off by saying this game is a lot of fun to pass the time if your stuck somewhere. With that being said, I went ahead and paid $4.00 to get rid of the advertisements and get a few coins. This helped me lead the league was in for a while and then out of no where someone came along that absolutely blew my scores out of the water. No big deal... I just figured I started the game at the end of the week and that was all. The next week I'm crushing it with my scores and no one can even touch me. Then out of no where yet another play magically appears mid to late week and crushes my score to the point it made absolutely no sense. We're talking about 20 meters on average. This is while I'm beating the competition by roughly the same amount. Point being, I'm pretty sure the devs put bots in to beat the competition to drive people to buy more in game purchases a.k.a coinage. I can't prove it but this is definitely a shady way of doing business. With that being said, the devs can screw off.

### 3/5 — Deleting progress.

*2017-09-08, version 1.6.0*

Needs more players, connection is bad, my progress get deleted mid-week, the cost of a speed or strength upgrade gets so expensive, can I see my all-time best throw somewhere?
