Should be able to start from where you left off. Deleted because of this. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-09-15* I don’t mind occasional ads, but this is overkill. More ad time than playtime. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-09-15* Game was fun... until I started seeing ads every 5 seconds. And when you try to hit the little “x” at the top right of the screen, it still takes you to the download page. If you value your time, you’ll stay away from this game. ### 2/5 — Fun but too many ads *2018-09-14, version 1.0.3* Definitely a great game to play offline. When you have wifi/data on though...almost unplayable. Ad after every game is very annoying. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-09-12* More ads then anything don’t download unless you love watching ads for stupid stuff ### 1/5 — Way too many adds *2018-09-12* As above ### 1/5 — Make 1 mistake and game over. *2018-09-11* This game is not scored like regular golf. Hit the ball into water, and you don’t get a penalty stoke. The game is over! ### 2/5 — Love ads? You’ll love this game! *2018-09-11* Do you love ads? Do you like a challenging well-designed golf game with ads, followed by more ads? You’ll love this game! This game takes the concept of ads for play to a whole new level! You’ll find yourself hitting a ball, missing slightly... game over... unless you want to watch an ad... then you can play again, but if you miss again, you game will really be over, and you still get to watch an ad. Don’t forget you can earn useless gems by watching ads, and you can even have a bonus spin to earn more useless gems if you watch more ads! I think you get the idea. ### 1/5 — Ads *2018-09-11, version 1.0.3* Too many Ads spoils this game, deleted! ### 1/5 — Do you love advertising *2018-09-10* Don't play there's an ad after every move. I hit settings ad. Miss a shot ad. Go home screen ad. Ad ad ad. I've never seen so many. ### 1/5 — What an ad monetizer *2018-09-09* The tricky/shady part about this game is that the stroke mechanic will randomly change its timing in order to make you fail. Why would they do this? To surface more ads. Have fun spending more time watching ads than playing a potentially fun game. ### 1/5 — ALL ADS NO PLAY *2018-09-09, version 1.0.3* Very disappointed that I wasted my money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Insta uninstall *2020-10-12, version 1.2* First tap. Miss. Ad for 30 secs. Cool. Ads are fine but 5 secs in and hit with a 30 second one, nah. ### 1/5 — Eh? So close.. *2020-07-12* Super fun concept and over game play. But Holy ads Batman...this is redic! You devs need to balance it better! I’m out until I hear about the changing. Really sad because it’s a great game. ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-03-23* This game is really bad. If I could give it a lower rating I would. ### 1/5 — What a Shame *2019-01-29* This game “could” be fun if you actually got to play it. It’s sooooo consumed with ads, I spend more time watching them then playing the game. Not worth the download. Greedy developers take my interest away from anything they come out with. Ads have consumed the gaming industry and they are so obsessed with making a few cents every time we are forced to watch one,,,they make money while we get more frustrated. It’s just plain WRONG! ### 1/5 — Adds are horrible *2018-11-07* 90% of the time you’re watching adds instead of playing a game that doesn’t seem like it would be expensive to make, horrible job on the developers ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2018-09-21, version 1.0.3* Way too many adds ### 1/5 — To many ads *2018-09-17, version 1.0.3* Did you make a game or an ad app I can’t tell the difference. ### 1/5 — More ads than play time *2018-09-17* I understand developers need money but this game is a slap in the face when it comes to the ads. Way too many and way too often. In my first minute playing I had to deal with about 10 ads. Can’t skip them, can’t do anything and if you don’t want an add you have to start the course from the start if you mess up. Good game, terrible money hungry execution. ### 1/5 — Too many Ads... *2018-09-16* Just barely getting into learning how to play and already getting 30 second Ads... ### 1/5 — Ads, Ads, and more Ads *2018-09-15* This game is actually pretty fun love the way it looks could be soooo much better if it werent for an ad every time you fail a shot its really annoying and you cant fully enjoy the game. Update this to not so many ads its annoying as hell ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bad *2018-11-21* It keeps making me do bad and it’s very very bad do not play it. ### 5/5 — B *2018-10-24, version 1.0.4* Blinking awesome ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-09-16, version 1.0.3* So addictive but I’m so bad at it, my fault not the games!! Thoroughly recommend ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-09-07, version 1.0.3* Love it!!!! ### 4/5 — What it needs *2018-09-12, version 1.0.3* Needs an indicator for when to hit the ball ### 4/5 — Neat game! *2018-09-08* Fun, addictive game overall. Clean graphics & easy to play. My only issue is that when you buy the ad-free upgrade, there are still ads in the bonus spin and revives. Please change! ### 4/5 — シンプルゴルフ *2018-09-07* 指一本でも楽しめるゴルフアプリとしてはトップクラスだと思います。 ただ、広告の登場回数がえげつないので360円払って広告削除しないとまともに遊べません。 360円の有料アプリだと思ったほうがいいと思います。 あとはコースのパターンがもっと豊富だと長く楽しめると思うので今後のアップデートで対応していただきたいです。 ### 4/5 — Ads *2018-07-24, version 1.0.1* Way to many ads ### 3/5 — Kinda fun *2018-09-24, version 1.0.3* I mean it’s fun, but turn your phone on to airplane mode cause otherwise there’s too many ads ### 2/5 — Paid for No Ads, still have interruptions *2020-02-12* As a lot of the reviews say, this game is unplayable without paying for the ad free version. But even after paying, there are still “free spins” all the time that take up time and interrupt the flow of play, all to give me diamonds that are basically pointless. I used them to purchase the ball and club I want and now have NO NEED FOR THEM OR THE FREE SPIN. This would be my favorite game on my phone if those free spins weren’t so frustrating. If I could just play without that this is the most relaxing and fun game I have. Too bad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
