Great app for practicing darts and tracking progress with detailed statistics.
Easy to use and allows for online play against friends or the dartbot.
The voice callout feature adds a fun element to the game.

Frequent crashes and connectivity issues, especially with the camera during online play.
The dartbot's scoring seems unrealistic, often hitting high averages and checkouts.
Recent updates have caused bugs, including loss of saved games and statistics.

The stability of the app has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezing screens, and issues with camera connectivity. Many players experience glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as delayed score registration and inability to connect with friends online. While some users appreciate the app's concept, the overall consensus is that significant improvements are needed to enhance its stability and performance.
- “It worked flawlessly before the update, but since then it gets stuck on the screen after the toss option; it goes dark/tinted black and freezes.”
- “It always crashes or people's cameras don't work. Then when we finally get going, the game freezes or it says 'not responding' for no reason.”
- “The stream quality is horrendous (I'm using an S21 Ultra, which by no means has a bad camera), but the stream is like a potato. That's if the app stays stable to use, as it usually crashes or freezes mid-game, or you get messages saying your camera has frozen and your opponent can't see it.”

- “And there's no ads bothering you all the time, and it lets you keep track of your statistics, which is really cool.”
- “Otherwise, cool app with no ads.”
- “Great app, no ads, no gimmicks, no crazy scores by the virtual player.”
- “Their updates are all about ads and how they steal your data.”
- “Ruined by your greed to place advertisements in your product.”
- “It would be better without in-app purchases.”

The optimization of the app has received mixed reviews, with users highlighting poor performance issues despite praising its online and bot match features, as well as its ability to track stats. While the app is considered one of the best for darts, the requirement to pay for performance data that is often free in other apps has deterred some users.
- “Online/bot matches and the look and feel of the app are brilliant, with good stats to measure performance.”
- “This is one of the very best darts apps I have used, but nearly every other free app provides performance data for free, such as averages. Requiring payment for features that are free elsewhere puts me off.”
- “Great app, good for keeping stats and tracking performance and improvement.”
- “Unbelievably bad performance!”
- “This is one of the very best darts apps I have used, but nearly every other free app provides performance data for free, such as checkout averages. Requiring payment for features that are free elsewhere puts me off.”

Users appreciate the ability to listen to music while playing, as it enhances the gaming experience without interrupting gameplay. However, there are frustrations regarding the app's functionality, particularly the loss of progress when switching apps, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. A suggestion for improvement includes adding a dedicated music break button.
- “Not only can I play as it keeps score, it also lets me listen to music at the same time through my Bluetooth, and hear score updates.”
- “However, something that really bugs me and infuriates me is that if I'm playing any game and want to quickly change apps to change music, or take a picture of my throws, the dart counter deletes my progress and puts me back to the main screen, rendering all the efforts of that game useless.”
- “Wish it added a darts music break button between legs.”

Gameplay offers a wide variety of options, allowing players to engage with friends and create custom games. However, issues such as camera disconnections and clumsy mechanics in certain scenarios detract from the overall experience.
- “There's a lot of options for gameplay, and you can invite friends to play whatever you want, even create your own games whenever you want.”
- “The gameplay offers a variety of mechanics that keep things interesting and engaging.”
- “The controls are intuitive, making it easy for both new and experienced players to jump right in.”
- “Camera falls out during gameplay and there is no seamless way to reboot the camera or confirm that your camera is visible.”
- “However, some mechanics, for example when you don't hit a double in double-in and when you're bust, are a bit clumsy.”

Users express frustration with the story aspect, highlighting issues with account creation that hinder their ability to engage with the narrative. The requirement to create an account before starting the story is seen as unnecessary and off-putting.
- “I can't even start it, since it keeps telling me 'welcome, quest _____'. I just want a counter; why do I need to make an account for that!?”
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks any real depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I was really disappointed with the plot twists; they were predictable and didn't add any excitement to the story.”

Users appreciate the graphics in the game, particularly the interactive map of the dartboard that enhances the visual representation of results. They suggest that incorporating more visuals for statistics, such as a line chart for score entries, would further improve the user experience.

- “Having a line chart with all score entries would show the user a nice graphic of their progress.”
- “More visuals for statistics would be great instead of having to log on to the website.”
