HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (7.5 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription18%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game is as big a waste of money as it is time.
★★★★★ This is the least amount of effort I've seen put into a piece of software on this store and these people have the gall to charge two dollars for it.
★★★★★ That's all fine and dandy, but to charge $2.99!
Crashes and freezes13%

★★★★★ Updated it and now it crashes...haven't updated iPad 2 to ios 8.

Wrong or poor results8%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you enjoy wasting inconsequential amounts of money on useless trash, then this game is for you.
★★★★★ All these 5 star ratings are fake.
★★★★★ These reviews are obviously fake.
Missing features8%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you get stuck, there's no way to move forward.
★★★★★ Supposed to be relaxing but one of the levels (826) was near impossible and completely ruined the par average. Complete garbage.
★★★★★ There is no way to restart a hole or anything.
Bugs, things not working6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ A paid app which is still on the App Store should get maintained by the developer. This is not the case. The sound works only about once every 20 times I open the app (a hard shutdown doesn't fix that). This has been a…
★★★★★ You can only launch at steep angles on the first strike and most of the time you can't control the launch because of the auto launch bug.
★★★★★ 1 stern machts gratis für alle oder nur 89cent, macht ne neustart funktion und bug fixes.
Limits, credits, locked features3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If there was a way to earn skips with a stroke penalty if you make x holes in one in a row or if there was an upper limit to the strokes before it just moved you to the next hole then I'd still be playing.
★★★★★ Und da es kein Leaderboard und keine Limits gibt, kann man es wirklich unendlich lang, ohne Frust und doch durchaus motiviert spielen.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ However, I deleted the game at hole 1600 when I was at 35 (THIRTY FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!) shots to get the ball into the hole with no end in sight.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • The developers should add the ability to skip a level if it becomes too frustrating. 1★, Oct 3, 2023
  • Ever wanted to know what it is like to play golf in the desert in an alternate universe where you are the ball and a giant thumb god flicks you around and you take that life for granted and by the time its over you… 5★, Dec 13, 2022
  • I appreciate the simplicity, but I wish I could skip some courses. 3★, Mar 13, 2022
  • This really needs a little direction. 5★, Sep 6, 2020
  • It would be nice to have a reset button to start game again. 5★, Sep 6, 2020
  • I have one big wish - I wish the screen would show what the “par” for the hole is. 5★, Mar 25, 2020
  • If you could add that option, that would be great. 5★, Sep 1, 2019
  • The only thing I wish they would do differently is I wish that the aiming widget was focused on the ball and not your finger (but your finger could still be anywhere on the screen). 5★, Jun 20, 2019

Fun, addictive27%

92 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's simple, it's well executed, it's not overloaded with ads, and it's fun.
★★★★★ I played all 10,000 holes!!! Ends with one last lake shot. Which is typically how my real game goes too! :)
★★★★★ Just come and play a fun mobile game with no interruptions that can be picked up and put down in an instant.

★★★★★ Desert golfing is a simple pleasure.

★★★★★ I keep closing the game and opening it again, but alas this is the end, beautiful friend.
★★★★★ It's small and simple design has kept me coming back for more.
★★★★★ There are no achievements. The game doesn't care if you get a hole in one or take 100 strokes for a hole. There is no tutorial, and no need for one. The holes have not been designed for a single solution, or even…

★★★★★ Just come and play a fun mobile game with no interruptions that can be picked up and put down in an instant.
★★★★★ Seit Jahren fester Bestandteil meiner App-Auswahl. Habe jetzt Über 7000 Löcher gespielt. Verrückt!
★★★★★ But it really needs an instant reset button or a fast-forward feature.
Worth the money4%

12 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Two bucks for a game with no home screen, no level select, no rules, no other modes, and no customization? It's a pretty fun game and I love how it's endless but I wish there was at least some customization and I would…
★★★★★ For people who are on the fence about buying this game, just do it. It's amazing and I can't find a single thing wrong with it. It will change your life.
★★★★★ Holey crap ( pun intended) (hole like golf) 2 days in and I'm at like 200 😂 it's more addicting than madden games

A Desert Odyssey

I first downloaded this game on October 27th, 2023. I did not know then, much like Odysseus, how far the journey would take me; the distant shores and countless adventures i’d go on. At 2:55 am on August 23rd, 2026 the adventure has come to an end. T’was my constant companion, saving me from boredom on countless occasions. The line at the dmv, at the theater during the ads, and wherever and whenever I needed a moment to steal away and hit that sweet, sweet egg across the dunes. Goodbye my trusty friend. 31,525

Geniales Konzept

Also auf so eine Idee muss man erst mal kommen! Es startet genau wo man aufgehört hat. Und es gibt nichts außer den ball, und die Wüste und ein Loch. Unglaublich schlicht aber genial

Transferring Saved Game

Update. I made it to the end of the game today, hole 10,001. I played off and on from Nov 8th 2021 to May 22nd 2026. ⛳️ First off, this game rocks. I’ve had it for years and I still come back to it regularly. I’m at hole 3,437. But it, it’s great! On another note, this game is one reason I haven’t switched to the Pixel Fold I’ve been eyeballing. I don’t want to lose my progress! Can the devs offer any insight on how I might go about transferring the game data, even if hacky? Thanks for the great app.

Spiel am Ende?

Schlag 27806 ging in ein langes Wasserloch, das bis zum Ende des Bildschirmes ging. Man konnte nur ins Wasser schlagen. Der Schlag wurde nicht resettet um neu zu starten, sondern der Ball liegt jetzt unter Wasser, kann aber nicht mehr geschlagen werden. 🤷🏼 Das wars.?.

Holes on narrow hills

Don’t put holes on top of narrow hills. Makes it nearly impossible unless you sink it from the air. Assuredly destroys your average score. Do better developer.
