Jetzt habe ich es mir selbst runtergeladen und kann es leider selbst nicht spielen. Sobald ich das Spiel öffne sehe ich den Ladebildschirm, weiter passiert allerdings nichts. Ich habe das ganze mal 4-5 Minuten so laufen gelassen- nichts. Das finde ich persönlich sehr schade und hoffe, dass sich da etwas ändert… ### 2/5 — Game errors *2023-07-31* Hello this game review is going to be very short due to there being nothing to say about it. I want to play this game, but guess what? I can’t get in the game! I download it and it just glitches me back to my home screen. 😿😾😭Please do not download unless they fix this. Thanks ### 2/5 — Questionable *2023-06-20* This game looked so good on the advertisements. It had been everything I had dreamed of , as soon as I downloaded and clicked on it it kicked me off.

DON’T download! *2023-12-23* Hi, I feel like a hater, but this game NEEDS UPDATES. It looks like such a FUN and GREAT game but clearly to me, it’s not because I CAN’T EVEN GET INTO IT. So, as soon as I click it it brings me to my home screen then goes back to a black screen with a man with a crop SPRINTING in place while it loads then after a few seconds it brings me to my home screen AGAIN. By the way (btw) sorry for all the “capital” words. It just makes me 😡😫 😒 MAD! Like it looks SO FUN and I really wanna play it but CANT. Again, I feel like a hater, sorry but it’s the TRUTH. Thanks for reading and please trust me! ### 1/5 — Can’t get inn *2023-08-02* Help I can’t get in Idk how long it takes but it takes a while ### 1/5 — Okay pourquoi faire ? *2023-07-27* Le jeu ne fonctionne pas pourquoi avoir sortie un jeu si on peut pas l’utiliser 🤨 ### 1/5 — Please read *2023-07-09* I had this game a year or so ago and it worked fine but in recent updates it’s stoped loading completely and won’t let me in even after redownloading it. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2023-05-28, version 1.8.95* ALL YOU SEE IS A DUDE WHIPPING A HORSE WITH A CROP. ### 1/5 — RIVAL STARS DOUUPPP *2023-04-15, version 1.8.95* The animations are not the best in this game, and it seems to be a copy of rival stars. ### 1/5 — WHY! *2023-04-02, version 1.8.95* I want to play this game so badly because it looks like sooooooo much fun, BUT IT WILL NOT LOAD! Plzzzz fix this! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Download IT!!!!! *2024-08-20* This game is exactly like rival stars horse racing!!!!! It’s graphics are ok and I would definitely recommend downloading it!!!. This game is easier to play than rival stars because you can get all the coins and gems for FREE by playing the game instead of rival stars where you have to pay a lot. If the game is willing to expand and put more breeds in and coats and expand the stalls for how many horses you have I WILL SUPPORT YOU. This game is amazing. ### 5/5 — From Zahra *2024-08-01, version 1.9.8* This game is amzing I love the horses they are so relastic ### 5/5 — LOVE BEST HORSE GAME EVER *2023-01-29* I love this game so good anyone who loves horses this game is a MUST to get but there is only racing you should add dressage and show jumping so please please please Please PLEASE read this and tell me if you can add an update for other events but otherwise LOVE 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 ### 5/5 — I will rate it 5 if it doesn’t throw me off again like every other time *2022-06-05* I am serious because if it doesn’t work again I’ll rate it one and put a complaint in thank u ### 5/5 — Rubbish *2022-04-05* Can’t get on the app::ok now you have updated it it’s much better shout out to the devs 👏 ### 5/5 — It’s actually good *2022-02-27* The only problem is that idk how to put horses in the pasture yet but so for the games good . ### 5/5 — Best horse game! 🐎🤩 *2022-02-11* This game is not boring the graphics are great and cool that you get coins in game and you use them on races but when you spend them, YOU GET MORE COINS BACK AFTER THE RACE 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks for this game but make breeding a little bit cheaper coz I can’t stand the cost! love this game!

This reminds me of real life I really do not understand why u guy are getting bad reviews like this game is a amazing I cant stop playing it lol. The foals are cute the horses are a cheap BUT IT IS FINE BC I LOVE THEM ALL and I prop have to many lol. I hope u guys are having a good day and I keep playing this game cuz I love it. ( one request, can u guys please add jumping like they are racing and they also jump like in real life it’s okay if u don’t I just thought it was cool.) bye thx for reading ### 5/5 — Not the best *2021-11-18* I can not even get in to this game drives me crazy I deleted it ### 5/5 — Good game! A few…comments tho. *2021-10-10* This is a really enjoyable game! Currency: I love how it doesn’t require you to use real money to get the “special currency” like many other games do. Racing: The racing aspect is really fun. I like that each horse has its own preferred terrain. I also like that there is a meter for fatigue and injury. however, the game doesn’t really explain the meanings of certain warnings during racing (why does my horse get injured? does the weather effect my horse? Why am I being told to slow down?) and the “help” button doesn’t explain very well. Breeding: I like that you don’t have to wait hours to raise your goal. Additionally, the fact that you can raise the chances of the stats of your goal are cool! I do think the breeding aspect could be worked on tho. Every horse is given “breeding potential” which says how many times it can be used to get a new horse however there are multiple missions that require you to breed and sell horses. It makes it difficult to move forward if your trying to improve your race horses but end up running out of potential on the breeding missions. I really look forward to what the developers do with this game!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
