But the support website doesn’t work so what do i do? ### 2/5 — Game is ok *2026-03-26, version 9.1.20* Edited: this game needs significant algorithm improvements and added classes for males and females by age. Not to mention male and female distinctions in horses. If you’re a racing fan you may find some things unrealistic. The colors are nit thoroughbred colors and the racing itself is not very realistic. However it is still fun to compete in the live races. ### 3/5 — Game is ok *2026-03-01, version 9.1.20* If you’re a racing fan you may find some things unrealistic. The colors are nit thoroughbred colors and the racing itself is not very realistic. However it is still fun to compete in the live races. ### 4/5 — Breeding rights *2025-10-19, version 9.1.16* I am enjoying the game so far, a really good base. I would like to see more control and variety over the breeding aspect. But my man concern I am having trouble accessing the breeding rights that I have purchased. They just are not showing up in breeding section. Any info will be appreciated ### 4/5 — Frustrating *2025-10-17, version 9.1.16* Opened the game to find it had deleted my account and reset me back to scratch! I had a few horses and had accrued decent VS points and $$$, I had saved my account as well. Very disappointed as I was enjoying playing but after that I won’t be re-installing for it to happen again. ### 3/5 — I love this game BUT *2025-09-06, version 9.1.12* I really don’t know what happened but all my breeding rights don’t show up anymore and it’s preventing me from breeding my best horses and it’s seriously irritating because I want to keep my horses in their primes so that they have the best foals possible so I can’t do anything in the game. ### 3/5 — My horse is gone 😡😡😡 *2025-08-16, version 9.1.10* So ever time i close it so I can play another game I want to go back on it i have to restart 😡😡 pls pls fix it but it’s a fun game. ### 3/5 — Breeding *2025-07-03, version 9.1.3* I downloaded the game back and i have trouble breeding like I will buy breeding rights and then it doesn’t appear ### 4/5 — Вылетает *2025-04-20* Игра очень хорошая советую но есть и минусы 1 игра у меня вылетает и начинается все с начала все лошади все жеребята пропадают !!!😭😭😭пожалуйста исправьте разработчики пожалуйста 2 мало красивых мастей они какие-то не настоящие ну как по мне а так в остальном оооооочень хорошо исправите то что у меня игра вылетает поставлю 5 звезд ### 3/5 — It’s not fair!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-02-27, version 9.0.4* Ok, I have been playing this game for a while now, and I got SO much progress!!!! It’s like, the best horse racing game ever! But recently, it RESTARTED THE WHOLE GAME AND MY PROGRESS!!!!! It was so upsetting to see all my progress lost. I don’t know if it were a bug or a glitch or update, but please fix it sometime soon. Have a good day y’all P.S. THIS IS THE BEST HORSE RACING GAME EVER!!!! (along with Rival stars horse racing) Edit: I played this game on different device, as soon as I left it did the same thing. It started all over again. Pls fix this! ### 3/5 — HELP!! *2025-02-19, version 9.0.4* The game is pretty good but when I bought breeding rights after I retired my horse I couldn’t find them and it wouldn’t let me breed. I tried it 3 times and now I don’t have enough gold horseshoes to buy more. What happened?? Another thing, the graphics aren’t the best so could you update that? Thanks! ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2025-02-09, version 9.0.4* The breeding rites aren’t showing up even tho I already bought them it kinda annoying ### 4/5 — Great but tweak stuff *2025-01-05, version 9.0.4* So I had. Good level I go to bed an bam it restarted my Progress.. Another thing us my breeding rights don't show up when I buy them ### 4/5 — It’s fun but won’t let me breed my horse *2024-11-28, version 9.0.4* I’m on my last horse and it won’t let me breed him ### 2/5 — Good but has some problems *2024-11-11, version 9.0.4* For starters the graphics aren’t that good, and it keeps on restarting me every time I exit the game, or sometimes it just kicks me out which is really frustrating😡😡😡😡😡. so I can’t even make any progress in the game and you don’t even really do anything besides train a horse and then race and then train the horse and then race again that’s all it is. Plus, I just downloaded this game thinking it was pretty good, but it’s not. and I can’t believe I haven’t seen any thing on it saying that it kicks you out and restarts you. I don’t know if it’s just happening me but it’s really annoying so before you download this app like me, please read this so you don’t make the same mistake I did.😤😤😤😤 ### 1/5 — Una mier** ojalá que se pueda poner 0 estrellas *2024-11-02* Cada ves que entro se me reinicia todo y vuelvo al inicio y me hace el tutorial como voy a llamar al caballo ósea como si recién lo hubiera descargado y es siempre y jamás me aparece la yegua que queiro cruzar con mi caballo esto es una putada encima que ya era de nivel alto pero ya lo borré al juego ### 2/5 — Used to love this game but unplayable now *2024-09-24, version 9.0.4* Lately the breeding option doesnt work, after buying breeding rights through the store they dont appear even though the currency is gone ### 4/5 — Can’t breed:( *2024-09-21, version 9.0.4* Glitchy for me. Super fun but can’t breed past my first horse. I buy the breeding rights and see the card with the horse but the foul never appears after hitting continue. ### 1/5 — Unplayable… cant breed *2024-08-28* During the beginning of the game after my 1st horse was about to retire they suggested I buy breeding rights. I used the horseshoes I earned from challenges to buy 3 S rated breeding rights all of which didn’t show up. I then purchased $10 worth of horseshoes because I had no horse to race with. I bought 5 more breeding rights none of which showed up. I was unable to continue the game which is unfortunate because I loved playing it a few years ago it was amazing! Unfortunately I can’t even play past the first horse and wasted my money. Unless they fix this I highly suggest to not even waste your time downloading this game. On the other hand if it works for you and you’re able to breed it is an amazing game. Very disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — مشكلة *2026-06-01, version 9.1.20* مشكلة في اقلاع اللعبة اذا غيرك الغة الى الانجليزي تتشتغل واذا حولتها الى لغتي ما تشتغل ### 1/5 — Pls Fix *2026-04-23, version 9.1.20* Purchases didn’t reflect into my account and the items suddenly was gone already :(( ### 1/5 — :/ *2026-04-21, version 9.1.20* I would like to say I like this game. The gameplay isn’t terrible, though extremely repetitive. However, what has given me trouble is the fact that this app *harasses* you to enable notifications using System Prompt for permission requests every time you open the app if you denied permissions, *and* the in-game settings toggle for notifications consistently reenables when you turn it off. Some of us don’t want every app under the sun to drop notifications every 10s. If this doesn’t stop, I will have to remove this game. It’s frustrating and annoying. I already tried contacting support, they claimed it should be fixed, and I’ve sent a screenshot proving I had the current version, they claimed it is fixed. It is definitively not. I’m also on the current os version as well. I really want to like this game, but this app behavior is not it. Photo Finish respected notification choice back when I played it many years ago, yet this newer variant does not. It’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — I love the game…. But *2025-08-24, version 9.1.10* Now updated the app and now I can’t breed? I can’t see any of the breeding rights I have bought 😳 ### 1/5 — Can’t breed horses *2025-07-08, version 9.1.3* Starting again and again no matter what you cannot breed your horses after buying breeding cards idk why it doesn’t show them but either way 1 stat ### 1/5 — Is it glitching? *2025-07-04, version 9.1.3* When I purchase breeding packs it does take from my gold and money but I never receive the horses to have the foals, so my horse is retired and I cannot race anymore or do anything because I cannot breed ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2025-05-25, version 9.0.4* I buy breeding rights and yet they don’t show up so I can breed my horse. ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2025-05-03, version 9.0.4* Needs a restart. ### 1/5 — I HOPE THEY SEE THIS! *2025-02-17, version 9.0.4* Downloaded the game and played it for a few weeks. Finally retired my horse and I spent countless of items to purchase breeding rights and NONE of the horses pop up AT ALL!!! ### 1/5 — Breeding rights? *2025-02-16, version 9.0.4* Spent golden horseshoes on breeding rights and the horses don’t even show up. That has to be a bug or something right? Or did I just get played out of golden horseshoes? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great horse racing game. *2026-07-01, version 9.1.20* I love Horse Racing Manager 2026 it is a very fun game, the only two things I would recommend is that you could be able to chose when your horse retires, like from 6 to 8 years, because sometimes it seems like I can’t only have a horse for a second before it retires. The other thing that would make the game a lot better is if Bay was a a more common color in genetics. But also I have one question, if the online multiplayer races don’t have enough players entering a race does the game add in Ai player to fill up the slots? Please respond. ### 5/5 — Fix this problem *2024-02-21, version 9.0.3* Fix the breeding part don’t know how to obtain my new horses doesn’t tell u how to breed and get the next horse plz fix but the game is fantastic ### 5/5 — More tournaments, updates, challenges *2024-01-24, version 8.7* Are there no more title shots or tournaments like two years ago I love this game it never ends but don’t abandon it keep making it active and engaging. I need 2024 horse racing this was my favorite past time please don’t take it away!!! ### 5/5 — Disapointed *2022-08-11, version 8.7* They abandoned the game. Sad. ### 5/5 — Freezing *2022-06-18, version 8.7* This app is now freezing ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2022-04-16, version 8.7* This game turns horse racing into a game that makes you want to horse race yourself. I am speechless 🏇🐎 ### 5/5 — Australia *2022-04-12, version 8.7* Yes very nice game, nice graphics, and just an all round good game but bring back more Australian races like Melbourne cup, cox plate, derby’s, Guinea’s, cups, bit pls bring it back to the offline racing ### 5/5 — Horse racing manger 2021 ratings. *2021-07-11, version 8.7* This game is a great horse racing game if you like racing horses. It’s has good ratings and it’s super fun to play. You can breed,race,train,retire, and race against real people and your friends! I recommend this game for a lot of people that love horse racing. This is a great game if you love that. I love how you can rename a horse if you don’t like that name. You can retire and horse and still breed with it. There are real and cool coat colors to get in breeding. This game is great, try it out! ### 5/5 — Horse racing *2021-05-07, version 8.4* Fun game ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-03-24, version 8.4* Love the game really looks like the real horse racing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
