Has good track updates for stats but the news isn’t as good as EquiBrief. ### 4/5 — Mr. *2026-05-07, version 3.9.5* Keeps crashing. It’s been great for the last 6 years however over the last month the program crashes no matter what I click on. I have deleted and redownloaded loaded and it still crashes as soon as I click on any of the icons. Terrible ### 4/5 — Update *2026-05-02, version 3.9.5* Can no longer access entries or results on my iPad 7th gen ### 4/5 — Password *2026-03-16, version 3.8.4* Can’t get a reply on a forgot password request why? ### 2/5 — Ads are too much! *2026-01-28, version 3.8.4* Good idea for an app but terrible user experience. I get that you need ads to support the app but holy cow, it’s SO EXCESSIVE. Every time I click on something it’s 30 seconds of ads. If you accidentally click on the wrong race, wait for ad, click on the correct race, another ad…. Dumb ### 2/5 — Ok aggregator, ads make it useless *2025-09-03, version 3.8.3* Kind of conveniently aggregates a lot of information that is available elsewhere (for free). The ad situation renders the app mostly useless though. ### 3/5 — All the pedigrees are wrong!! *2025-08-04, version 3.8.3* I just started using the app. Checked pedigrees on the first race I was studying and the first 6 horses’ pedigrees are wrong!!! I stopped looking after that. ### 2/5 — Adds freeze *2025-08-04, version 3.8.3* Adds freeze on this page looking for new app ### 2/5 — Ads are horrible *2025-05-11, version 3.8.3* I get you have to make money off the app but a very long ad pops up for every race you look at. It’s horrible. ### 3/5 — Advertisements *2025-05-01, version 3.8.2* Site great. Huge problem is the onslaught of advertising you are forced to watch before getting to the info you want. Very, very annoying. ### 3/5 — Ok app *2024-10-10, version 3.7.6* Honestly and ok app works well except there’s a bug that will randomly add horses and jockeys to follow even though I didn’t specifically put down to follow them ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — O *2026-06-29, version 3.9.12* I sign in and still asks me to sign in like wha ### 1/5 — Terrrriblee *2025-10-29, version 3.8.4* Terrible you are fired from my cellphone ### 1/5 — TK *2025-09-20, version 3.8.3* There is too much advertising.. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-24, version 3.8.3* Ads every like five seconds ### 1/5 — How is this even an app *2025-04-07, version 3.8.1* Click* Ad Click* Ad Click* Ad You spend more time watching ads than actually looking at anything. ### 1/5 — No more *2024-12-13, version 3.7.9* I used to love this app, but I’m not going to pay for their advertising and now if you don’t pay for the advertising, it comes on multiple times in a row so you can’t even look at what you want to. It’s easier to just go to the Racetrack website itself And look there for what you need ### 1/5 — Too slow *2024-11-29, version 3.7.9* Can’t use too slow to many adds that take to long awful app for looking at entries ### 1/5 — no dark mode *2024-10-11, version 3.7.6* where is dark mode ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-08-28, version 3.7.4* Ken McPeek; stick to training. This app is a complete waste of time. You should have a free version (with ads) that is at least functional; this app is unusable and complete garbage with these nonsense ads ### 1/5 — Fix the app *2024-07-27, version 3.7.4* Notifications have not worked for weeks now today I’m getting them but they won’t open useless please fix or shut down the app and we will go elsewhere I get a red 400 notice when I try to open them why send them if they can’t be read? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Opinion *2026-07-06, version 3.9.12* So easy and comfortable to use every thing is right at hand on this app love it ### 5/5 — Rockamundo ARKANSAS DERBY 1993 *2026-07-05, version 3.9.12* I love horse racing that’s all I know for over 40 years ### 5/5 — El Negrito *2026-06-21, version 3.9.12* Love it ### 5/5 — Buenas *2026-04-09, version 3.8.4* Buenas ### 5/5 — Rápida y eficaz *2026-01-29, version 3.8.4* Las actualizaciones de datos (entries, resultados) son confiables porque se suben con rapidez. Las publicidades son pocas y no distraen para nada. ### 5/5 — Horses *2025-08-23, version 3.8.3* Wonderful app totally enjoy it ### 5/5 — Original App *2025-06-26, version 3.8.3* Original app was the best.. ### 5/5 — Great for a professional! *2025-03-15, version 3.8.0* Saves me 45 mins a day on research ### 5/5 — Luzzi *2024-10-11, version 3.7.6* Use it every day ### 5/5 — Excellent Application but missing one thing *2024-09-29, version 3.7.4* This is a great application in general, the ability to customize and edit what notifications I receive is an excellent option. The only thing that I believe this application is missing is the ability to live stream. The races that I am being notified about. The TwinSpires application allows me to live stream the races that it has available through the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
