Sorry. *2024-12-28, version 2.9* First off, the tutorial was horrid because I did not want to read all of it, it was all over the place and I left the game and came back about 6 times, because it was too much for me. Second thing, the faces freak me out on not only the human, but the horse for god sake! Third, wiping is abuse. I do not recommend this game. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2023-12-16, version 2.9* I just got this game and i like it so far, but there are a few bugs that need fixing. First, the music won’t stay turned off. Second, the charms do not have the propper icons. The icon is for coins, but it says they cost gems. Third, why on earth do stable expansions cost gems? This is not fair to new players, like me. At least offer 2 or 3 stalls in the starter stable. If these are fixed, this game would be well worth a 5 star rating. A few suggestions. I’d love to buy more than 1 item at a time when buying food and treats. I’d love to select my jockey’s skin tone. ### 4/5 — Good game *2023-09-23, version 2.9* I’m still curious why the profile picture of the game does not have a rider on him ### 4/5 — This game *2022-09-27, version 2.9* It is easy to play but sh¿t ### 4/5 — Génial *2022-06-26* Je vous laisse mon petit avis un jeux génialissime 👍 ### 3/5 — Works kinda? *2021-10-27, version 2.6.1* I have had this app before on several phones and tablets and liked it. But now on my iPhone XR it won’t even load up. I would delete and download but I will lose the progress I have so now what. ### 4/5 — Nice in some ways but really needs work in other ways *2021-10-22, version 2.6.1* There is a terrible blinking flashing lights thing that happens when you race sometimes please fix that. And also would love for the audio to have background horse noises instead of just the repercussions music all the time. And when I shut the music off it won’t stay off after I raced please fix that. And it would be nice to not have to always whip the horse to push the horse to go faster. And would be nice if you could make the horses look bit more realistic. Also see if you can include steeplechase racing I’d love that. Other than that I like this game I love the gallop sounds during training and racing and seeing the horses go fast. 🏇 💨❤️🥰 ### 3/5 — Uuhhh *2021-07-04, version 2.6.1* Please give better graphics ### 2/5 — Hurtful...😠 *2021-05-22, version 2.6.1* Don’t get me wrong this game is great and all but a WHIP??? That’s brutal please fix that. ### 4/5 — Plz *2021-04-23, version 2.6.1* This is a very good game but I wish you didn’t have to win 10 races to get 10 diamonds maybe make it so you have to win two races to get 10 diamonds thank you please fix this☺️ ### 2/5 — Super star *2020-12-13, version 2.6.1* Winer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2025-05-03, version 2.9* You can only have a Cirtint amount of horse 🐎 and you only have a few wips u can only race a a certain amount of times oh and how can we forget the updates every update it get worse and worse i have a iPhone 6 and at first it was good and now it is so bad I had to delete it ### 1/5 — Didn’t receive diamonds I purchased *2025-02-27, version 2.9* When I tried to buy 50 diamonds for 1$ twice they only gave me 10 diamonds both times…….. ### 1/5 — I really enjoyed the game *2025-01-22, version 2.9* I really liked the game actually I liked the game so much I went to buy a bigger barn right? Well it says you get 50 gems for .99cents so I am thinking cool well jokes on me you only get 10! So they are just scamming people into believing they get enough gems to get the bigger barn but you don’t actually get 50 gems be careful don’t buy the .99 cent pack you don’t actually get 50 gems I will be getting ahold of apple and letting them know your app is scamming people. ### 1/5 — Will change rating if issue fixed *2024-03-09, version 2.9* So I spent a buck to get 50 gems to try out the stable feature. I got 10 gems. So that needs fixed. Also, I’ve spent 20 minutes trying to find a support link and the only thing in that category sends you to a site that will buy apps. Not helpful at all. Was really liking this game but my rating stands until my issues are solved. ### 1/5 — Not my favorite *2024-01-14, version 2.9* The animations are blocky the horse are unrealistic and you have to use a whip on your horse to go fast in a race. I don’t like this game. Fix these things please. ### 1/5 — I like the game, but the gems are broken *2024-01-11, version 2.9* I about 50 gem for $0.99 twice and I only got 20 gems. Great game but that’s very frustrating to spend money on it and not get what you were told. I don’t know who to contact for my gems now. ### 1/5 — Not so great *2022-02-09, version 2.6.1* It kicks me out in the middle of the game ### 1/5 — Bug fixes *2021-09-04, version 2.6.1* Best racing game I’ve ever played, but it kicked me out of the app and won’t let me back in and I have won lots of money and even got a pretty dapple grey horse that I really don’t want to lose!!!! ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-11-25, version 2.6.1* Overall it is a good game I just don’t like that they use WHIPS to make them go faster that makes me so sad even if it’s in a game I just got this game and already deleted it because I can’t see horses get hit by a Whip to make them go faster it is so sad.😢 The horses are very cute tho and there are so many patterns🐎💕 if u can watch horses literally get whipped then u would probably like it ### 1/5 — THIS GAME is horrible!!!! *2020-11-08, version 2.6.1* The reviews are great but the game is definitely not, when you breed your horse it says the color of the horse depends on the genes but a put a black horse and a brown ish black ish horse and I got a really light colored brown horse. The graphics are not good and the you can’t even do anything in the races all you do is wip the horse. If you you want a free five star review game with good graphics and amazing realistic races you should get rival star horse racing. It’s the best horse game I have ever played ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FUN!🤩 *2025-05-13, version 2.9* I love this game it’s just so amazing the details everything it’s kind of like if you’re playing in the online server but you’re not and also I like give them energy shots but at the same time it’s kind of weird but ignore that the training sessions are so good all the race maps are just beautiful ### 5/5 — A really fun game *2023-07-21, version 2.9* I have played this game a ton over the years and I have to admit the graphics aren’t the best but it is honestly a really fun game that isn’t loaded with adds. ### 5/5 — Omg great *2022-04-29, version 2.7* Hey I’m just here to say what a cool 😎 game!
