The AI is left on autopilot and most likely has not been monitored or updated either. It hits so very infrequently that you definitely suffer more losses than wins. Have paper tracked all premier and best bets to have a total loss over all. Barely a 3.5 percent win on long shot picks. **Developer response:** Hi, I've updated the server-side application several times this past year and as recently as today. The client app that pulls in the picks hasn't needed to be updated yet, but the back-end algorithm receives regular updates. I will be updating the client version soon to include and display results and more advanced features. Handicapping horse racing is both a science and an art, and long shots are inherently difficult to hit consistently. No system can be 100% accurate, but we're always striving to improve. Thank you for your feedback. Nathan ### 2/5 — Update on My Previous Review *2024-02-03* You NEVER know what your gonna get. It’s complete lottery. So may horses evenly matched, pretty much all very low odds, it is hard to place a bet on winner. The odds are so low you are pretty much forced to play accumulating bets. YES, they do sometimes have their winners! But again it’s a complete lottery, it can be the placed horse that wins, or the horse they expect to come 3rd. What this app does is just slightly narrow down your chances by a very small margin. I’ve lost count of the Very High Win bets that have NEVER come in. If you have money to play with then this is OK for a bit of fun. If not stay clear. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I'm constantly working to improve the algorithm behind our horse racing picks app to provide better results. While horse racing can be unpredictable, we're committed to refining our predictions. I encourage you to try again in the future, as improvements are ongoing. Additionally, consider checking out our special picks, where I manually review the selections to identify potential long shots. Your experience matters to us, and we appreciate your patience as we strive to enhance the app. ### 2/5 — Somewhat useful *2023-03-07* you do have enough information to create your own combinations and if you don’t follow the precise combinations, you’re more likely to win. Whatever you do, do not follow the predictions as listed and you should use your own predictions based on the data provided. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. I'm working on an update now that will provide more data and detail about the picks, including Power Ratings to help with comparing the different horses, etc. Check back soon. All the best, Nathan ### 5/5 — Great tool to place bets!!! *2022-03-15, version 3.2.4* They are awesome, I wish I knew about the app longtime ago, absolute genius!!! ### 5/5 — Grandpa Hobbie *2021-09-05* Tried the app and purchased Saratoga my favorite track, I do okay with free tips, but for using the horse racing picks for Saratoga I was surprised, they picked a nice LS and had a few trifectas, don’t expect them to be perfect remember it’s horse racing. Good picks try it tomorrow ### 5/5 — Helpful *2021-06-17, version 3.2.4* Useful app if you are a enthusiast. ### 2/5 — Don’t know what I’m doing wrong? *2021-05-30* Which races should one bet on? Seems like The few I’ve won using the subscription only return small amounts. For example a PIMLICO win returned $3.15 for a 50 cent 5 horse bet, which cost $2.00. Results seem to be true for both WIN/Place bets and boxed exacta, trifecta & superfecta bets. Should we just bet during the triple crown races, or what? **Developer response:** Hi, the payoffs will be better depending on the size of the field. Unfortunately most of the races through the week have pretty small fields of 6 or less horses which makes it hard to get a better payoff. Triple Crown races like the ones this coming Saturday at Belmont should be better, especially the Turf races will have bigger fields.

Hit two exactas and a couple of the suggested long shots came in. Really added to my handicapping. ### 4/5 — First user *2021-05-01, version 3.2.4* I was very impressed with this app am lovin it Mmm good Won over $200.00 M. Cook The horse queen ### 3/5 — No historical results *2021-03-01* How did the handicapping done here do yesterday or the day before? No way to know as yesterday’s (nor the day before yesterday’s) picks are available. Also the picks seem to only reflect the morning line so odds that change up until post time are not reflected. **Developer response:** Hi, I will be adding a historical results feature in the future. It's very expensive for me to pay for a data feed to update the odds real time. Also, with the vast majority of money being bet coming in late the odds usually change dramatically after the horses break out of the gate so they actually aren't that valuable. Especially at smaller tracks on regular days. I will be adding real time results in the near future though. Hopefully before this years Ky Derby in May. All the best, Nathan Prather ### 5/5 — Longshots *2021-02-08, version 3.2.4* Great app for horse players , if you’ve used this app as long as I have its well worth the purchase Have done really well with the longshots !! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-11-01* This app is great and have all the data you need to win, the only think we need to do and choose the right combination. By they are better than many other I had try... they are very consistent and winner, I’m no a pro but I’m. It a rocky so this app is great and I do recommend it... ### 5/5 — I actually won money just now *2020-10-10, version 3.2.4* I actually just won $33.00 with this app. ### 5/5 — Start winning! *2020-10-07, version 3.2.4* I started hitting the winners as soon as I used this app, first win was $70 and I keep going! ### 5/5 — Honestly really good picks *2020-09-28* I’ve been doing horse betting for a long time now (10+ years) and I rely on sever different sources/strategies. This app however has single handedly won me well over $1000 worth of bets at the track. Would highly recommend for the average bettor who is looking for easy picks. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a great review! Take care and good luck at this weekends Preakness Stakes! Sincerely, Nathan Prather ### 5/5 — 30 Days In... *2020-08-29* This app ROCKS! some tracks more reliable than others, but multiple pick 4 wins, many in the $500-$2000 range. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t have all the tracks *2023-06-29, version 4.0.0* It don’t have all the tracks to choose from. Miss out on prairie meadows ### 1/5 — Bad picks *2022-12-13, version 4.0.0* Nice layout but premium are not good at all — 1 star for layout and that is a stretch ### 1/5 — Not a good bet *2021-02-22, version 3.2.4* Lost on all tracks bet , had some of the winners but lost on all exactas, and trifecta. Only won pennies on win, place or show not worth the money spent on app . ### 1/5 — Horse racing *2021-02-15, version 3.2.4* Won 1 race out of 9 races with picks not to good ### 1/5 — Save your money *2020-08-02, version 3.1.3* This site is a SURE way to lose money and they charged 55 bucks for a month membership. Sad!! ### 1/5 — Just take the favorites from any oods board *2020-05-01, version 3.1.3* I downloaded the app and bought the monthly plan and day one I lost more money following these picks than blind picking... don’t waste your money fellas it’s better ones out there ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-04-11, version 3.1.3* Cost me a lot of money. ### 1/5 — Won’t try again *2020-02-17* I’ve tried it twice for a month and haven’t hit other than the small amounts that it costs more to play then what you win **Developer response:** Sorry for the bad experience. I'm working hard right now on a new algorithm that should greatly improve both the pick performance and return on investment (ROI). I'm also planning to add a toggle button to prefer High ROI vs High Win Percentage Picks. Because when the Win Percentage goes up, unfortunately the ROI usually goes down. All the best, Nathan ### 1/5 — Hope to update *2020-01-23, version 3.1.3* Just purchased a premium one month pack and can’t access any of the tracks. Will update as soon as they give me what I paid for. ### 1/5 — Not as described *2019-07-19, version 3.0.5* Did it 2 times and paid to times lots all my money not worth of it at all is a waste of money and time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy and accurate…..most days :) *2026-05-20* It’s quick and easy when I’m building my spreadsheet and I enjoy reading the notes.

Keep ‘em coming baby!!!! ### 5/5 — Consider *2025-01-06* Considering all options is important when betting at the track and this tool is one that I use for this consideration ### 5/5 — Can’t stop winning! *2024-11-30* Cha Ching! 💰💰💰Three winners alone yesterday and five more the day before. These guys must have a crystal ball or something. A few more winners and I’m buying a new Porsche. Try it and you too will be cashing lots of win tickets just like me! WooooHoooo!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-23, version 4.1.0* Great app for any horse racing fan. Nathan is great as well. Very passionate about horse racing. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2024-05-05* First off handicapping is taking past data and applying it to a future race. It is definitely an art not science, if it were a science then a computer programmer would develop the logarithm for a 100% winning app. But it’s not, so the art is an educated swag. This app definitely deserves to be on your tool belt as it very frequently makes me look at horses I wouldn’t have and other times validate my choices. Of course there are the times that I just choose a race and go with the picks. If you use this app and have no self understanding then you are at the mercy of the racing gods, but if you understand the concept of handicapping and use this as a tool you may just have more good days at the races than bad. The one area I’d live to see an improvement in would be exotics with a suggested card, like Golden Hour, Cross Country, best bet Hi5’s or pick 6’s. **Developer response:** Thanks for the good review. I personally think the quick picks in the app are good for newer players who just want to go out to the track to have fun without having to do handicapping. I do the work for them, so they can go have fun and possibly make a profit for the day or at the very least break even if playing every race which is what most people want to do when they go out to the track. Usually anyone using the picks will come close to breaking even for the day playing every race, which is better than most new players can hope for I'm constantly working to improve the picks for advanced and new horseplayers. I use back testing to make them as profitable as can be for players at all levels but it's always best to incorporate the players own opinion when playing. These picks rely on statistics and back testing to come up with the most consistent picks possible so that small and large players can have more fun. I'll be adding a Results section to both the mobile and web app soon with more details for the previous days results in addition to adding recommendations for Doubles, PIck 3, 4, 5, and 6's. The results ROI is based on the minimum bet for the wager. For example a 3 horse exacta box at the minimum $1 mark is $6 Total. This is why I provide Return on Investment Percentages in the results, Bet $1 or bet $100 the ROI Percentage will not change. The Confidence ratings have proven helpful and more accurate through back testing because those races have more experienced horses and I have more data to work with versus Maiden races with a lot of first time starters where all I have is workout reports, trainer stats, and breeding. Feel free to email me directly with for any more clarifications and I'll be happy to incorporate new ideas into the app. Hope this helps and good luck at that races! Nathan ### 5/5 — won big time!! *2023-05-12, version 4.0.0* great app with great picks! ### 5/5 — Have fun at the track! *2022-10-11, version 4.0.0* Nobody likes loosing and this app will help you think less and win more! ### 5/5 — OMG! *2022-05-07, version 3.2.4* I usually struggle with betting on a horse that wins so I’ve tried every app possible and I still somehow mess it up (which may just be a me thing) but this app was easy to understand and helped me FINALLY pick a winner 10/10!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
