Vista Golf

So I have to be honest, I never write reviews for apps. But this app in particular I have spent a crazy amount of time in. Been playing since the app came out and have never had any real complaints. I am slightly ashamed to admit it but, I am on hole 16,000 in infinite mode and I don’t plan on stopping. However, the most recent update removed some really fun and challenging features on the golf holes so I do hope they make a return soon. I know you have to keep the app running smoothly so app updates are needed but please work to make the holes tougher and more interesting. Also, an option to use the new shooting mechanic or the old shooting mechanic would be nice as the new shooting line makes it a little too easy. All in all, it’s still the greatest app to kill time with and easily one of the best mini golf apps in the store.

Vista Golf is fun. These problems with Vista golf could be corrected. The playing surface would benefit with some opacity, so you can see multiple tiers, when a playing surface is directly under another, as what currently is offered. impossible to see where the track leads. Also placing direction of play would make it less confusing to know which direction leads to the hole, “just a few arrows”. Lastly, it would be a nice feature if the infinite course allowed the hole numbers to be changed without having to reload the entire game. An excellent feature is not having innumerable ads. An improvement was the enlarged holes. All in all, a pleasant way to pass time. Addendum: As of mid March, the developers have added a huge number of ads, to the level of lowering my original review from 5 to 2 stars. Unless you are willing to spend more time viewing ads than playing, you must disconnect from the internet. No other changes, and no improvements were implemented. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY TO PLAY is to SELECT AIR PLANE MODE. DISAPPOINTING.

There aren't a lot of bells and whistles in this game, but that is one of the reasons I like it. This game is fun and challenging. The music is nice and sounds are simple/nice too. It would be helpful if the "zoom" function would zoom in just a bit more. It's a bit hard to see on my tiny iPhone screen. I have a few of other suggestions/ideas for the devs... -Pass and Play and/or over shared WiFi would be nice. - Maybe make it possible to allow players to pick different colored balls. -Have the music volume and sound volume be adjustable separately. -Possibly make the sound volume max out a little higher so it can be heard better over private music selections. -Some opacity for when the ball stops in tunnels would be helpful. -Possibly add other textures to some courses... rough, sand-trap, water etc. (not sure if maybe is already in the later stages as I'm still on easy and course) - A 9 hole short-game option might be nice. This is a nice game as is though and definitely worth paying the low price of $0.99 to remove ads and support the devs!

Update: the controls are much better or I’m getting better. This game is still frustrating but I’m starting to enjoy it more. Upping it to 5. The game was fun and a little quirky but it started to grow on me. I had only been playing for about 15min. The ads started popping up and took me out of the experience so I paid the extra to remove them. Now the ads are out of the way it should be great? Instead I started noticing how touchy the strokes are. Sometimes the same strength number will be good and others shoot over the rails. The near shots are either too soft or too hard. They seem to be a little inconsistent. This next part is my own fault not reading the game description. The courses expire after a couple of weeks or something. You have to get par on one to get to another and this seems to be for a ranking. I thought this was going to be more causal then competing. I still like the game I’m just going to have to get used to courses I may never get to play. Hopefully I learn the swing issues or a fix comes but overall the $1 for essentially a paid game seem about right.

I downloaded this game despite the review about the increased ads. Either that reviewer was trying to get the ad-free version for free or the developers made major changes, because the ads on this game are nothing compared to other games I’ve played! The game is a fun way to pass some extra time. I’m enjoying trying to get my score to par. Definite learning curve on how much juice it takes to get the ball where you want it. Frustratingly fun, about the way putt-putt is for me when we go play! I like the way the landscaping fades to let you see your ball and that you can turn the course to get a different view.
