Golf Orbit: Perfect Swing

The more I thought about it, the more I honestly don’t care for this developer. There are a lot of ads, and I can deal with them just like most people can, but let me echo what a few others have said: the $8 a week for ad free playing is a blatant rip off. It’s like they aren’t even trying. I’m sitting here thinking there has to be at least one person, along with likely MANY more who accidentally forgot to cancel after their three day trial and could be $40-$50-$60-$70 or more paid to this company without even realizing it. Kid takes phone, kid hits button paying for no ads, parents are unaware, parents unknowingly pay $32 A MONTH for this game. If that’s not a ripoff, I don’t know what is. They have several in game characters that also look extremely similar to some of your favorites- Mario? Tiger Woods? They just are a bit too shady for me to support, so I am unfortunately deleting the game from my phone. For what it’s worth, the game itself is actually pretty fun. Just wish the devs weren’t taking advantage of people.

This game is very fun at first but after you get off Earth getting off Mars is practically impossible. There’s been several times I went all the way around the planet and it still didn’t result in a setup in the fairway. Even more present is getting a “perfect hit” only for that to be followed by falling directly into lava or getting stuck in a tree. Even worse than that is when you end up going backwards after a perfect hit, I’ve gone behind the starting point many times, this effectively makes the game feel as if it’s actively working against you making it impossible to win. On top of all of that the ads on this game are absolutely ridiculous. I normally don’t complain about ads especially on free games, I love supporting small creators, however on multiple occasions I’ve gotten an ad after every hole for over five holes in a row. This wouldn’t be to big of an issue if they offered an add free version for a reasonable price, $1.99-$2.99 sounds fair, but this app has it set to $7.99 a week or $32 a month. At that price you could likely go play real golf two Saturdays out of the month and not have an ad for a dating sim shoved in your phone every 30-45 seconds. Ultimately this application has a good enough base but the execution screams lazy and greed driven.

While I understand that developers use ads to make money and finance the creation of their apps, there are entirely too many in this game. An ad every other play is ridiculous. You would get enough ad views just on the video bonuses alone, but that is apparently not enough for this greedy developer. While this game is fairly high quality in my opinion, and I would ordinarily be willing to consider to pay 2.99 or maybe even 3.99 to eliminate the ads, that isn’t an option here. Nope, to play this game ad free, you have to sign up for a VIP subscription that costs 7.99 per week. $8 per week!? That’s insane! That adds up to $420 per year! I wouldn’t pay 7.99 for this game once, let alone every week. This could be a great game, but the greedy developer ruins it. The only reason I gave this three stars is because you can still play offline, which is rare for any mobile game these days. I’ve had enough of the ads, and I’m deleting it. Don’t waste your time on this.

The ads are terrible, after every game it loads an ad and it’s horrendous. Then to get rid of said ads you have to pay $20 PER MONTH to get the “VIP” which gets rid of ads and get some other pay to win items. Then it gets worse it’s $100 PER YEAR to get “VIP” which had the same as said before. This is stupid, mobile games should be allowed to charge $100 for no ads. For $100 I can get the ultimate edition of any new console game, which includes every single add on included in the price. This game needs to tone down the ads, it ruins the play experience when you have to sit through an ad with an invisible “X” then get sent to the App Store then you can go back to the game. Every time. I wouldn’t mind a $.99 no ad option, but the minimum for no ads and useless in game items is ridiculous. It’s not as bad as Bowmasters but still is extremely annoying. Devs if you are reading this please at least add a no ad purchase for $.99, it’s a reasonable price and people wouldn’t mind that, but $20 is too high. The game in itself is fun but the ad experience makes it un-fun to play.

The objective of the money-making game is to watch their ads until you reach the physical condition of your character to reach orbit. The video demo ad, before you download the game, is highly inaccurate! Do you know the amount of times that I scored a perfect ball and still haven’t reached orbit? Worse of all, they have that weekly subscription of $8+tax, which I’ve only done the trial. You know what’s funny, you’re still watching ads so you can multiply your money so you can pay (digital money) for the expensive upgrades of strength, speed and bounce! Now talking about the upgrades, you notice at first the differences in strength and how far the ball goes. After a while you start noticed to it apparently applies negatively to you as well. That ball goes backwards so many times and I lose money. After that happened about 40-50 time, I’ve noticed how much of a waste time this game really is. Do yourself a favor and don’t download this app. You’ll find yourself stuck in this loop of continuously watching their ads until you’re done.
