### 5/5 — Excellent app for a knowledgeable horseman

*2024-04-01*

This is a great app of you know how to read read tags and have a basic concept of ration balancing.  I am recommending it to all of my clients (I am a breeder/trainer with a PhD in animal nutrition).  If gives you the info you need without a lot of clutter and unnecessary extras.  All you need is your feed tags for mixed products and an idea of what forage you  feed (you can look up all basic feedstuffs via the NRC tables and get an average value). 

 I really don’t understand the reviews that say “not enough data.”  Why would you want preprogrammed feed information when it changes over time, even in an established product, and it is really easy to get a feed tag from your current feed and look up the averages based on the type of forage you are using from the NRC database if it isn’t provided for you from your dealer.  It’s a great app, especially in comparison to the other options out there that charge a ridiculous amount simply because they have a database of outdated feed tags and supplements (why would you trust those when it can change at any time, so you need to check your product anyway)?

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2022-10-11*

App gets stuck on a black and white screen and is inoperable

**Developer response:** Hi there. We are aware of a bug that occurs in dark mode. A fix is on its way to the App Store. In the meantime, please use the app in light mode. Sorry for the in­con­ve­nience

### 1/5 — Won’t Even Load

*2022-10-07*

Everytime I open the app, it starts to load then goes to a black and white screen, and from there, I can’t do anything.

**Developer response:** So sorry you are having trouble. Please send me an email and I’ll try to help. Info@horsebytes.ca

Edited to add: looks like the problem occurs in dark mode. I will put a fix through in the next couple of days. In the meantime, please use the app in light mode. Sorry for the inconvenience

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app!

*2022-08-05*

This app does not work! Paid $2.99 to open the app and it go to a blank white screen and do nothing! What a disappointment.

**Developer response:** So sorry you are having trouble. Please contact me on my Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/equinenutritioncalculator
 or by email info@horsebytes.ca so I can assist you

### 2/5 — Feeds not on the list

*2022-06-09*

Please can you update your list 
I use benchmark feeds and Mitavite feeds. These are not on your list in the app. And it’s no point adding it as your list of nutrient does not contain everything also. Wasted my $

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In order to keep the app reasonably priced I haven’t spent a long time adding all possible feeds. We have users in many different countries and it isn’t feasible. I’m happy to add feeds for you if you contact me 
enc@horsebytes.ca

The nutrient list is quite comprehensive and based on the “Nutrient Requirements of Horses” research book. Many feed companies provide slightly different information. It looks like the Mitavite feeds split the carbs out into starch, wsc and esc. We don’t see that much here in North America.  Looks like all of these things add up to total NSC so that’s what I would enter them as. Hope that helps

### 4/5 — Very Helpful Nutritional Insight

*2020-08-31*

The app is well formatted and intuitive to use. Included data for the forage and supplements I’m using. Has method to add feeds and nutritional values. Clicking on a nutrient row gives very insightful information as to which feeds and supplements are contributing and in what proportion. Thus, providing a basis for 
fine tuning a horse’s feed plan. Well worth the app price.

### 1/5 — Not all features are available

*2020-08-06*

Where is the “add feed” function? It does not appear in my app. Should have saved my $4.50. Not impressed.

**Developer response:** Please check out this demo video.  https://www.facebook.com/equinenutritioncalculator/videos/268412277202212/?vh=e&extid=U7wnY0rIIidCAngd

At 1:40 it shows you how to add a feed. Please email me at info@horsebytes.ca if you are still having problems.

### 3/5 — Good idea but not enough data

*2019-08-28*

This is a great idea and I really like having it available, but there needs to be MUCH more data available for feeds. Yes, you can enter your own but it doesn’t get checked over very quickly and there aren’t enough options for labels/units to make it accurate.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. In order to keep the app reasonably priced I haven’t spent a long time adding all possible feeds. We have users in many different countries and it isn’t feasible. I would love to get more feedback from you regarding which units/labels you would like me to add. Please email me at info@horsebytes.ca, if you want to, for more discussion.
