### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-09-07, version 13.3.1*

I uploaded 5 different pictures of the same horse and it gave me different answers each time.  Not accurate.

### 1/5 — Horse Scanner app

*2025-06-26, version 11.2.2*

I submitted a photo of a pony for the horse scanner app to show me what breed it could be & it didn’t give me any results 
Not impressed

### 1/5 — Wildly incorrect

*2025-02-02, version 11.2.2*

This is hilarious. 😂 absolutely inaccurate. Told me my horse was a mixed breed between Standardbred and Hungarian Sport Horse. He’s 100% Thoroughbred; I have his papers. The app itself is a cool concept, but horses are exceedingly hard to determine by a picture.

### 5/5 — Essentially for knowledge based purposes

*2024-12-02, version 11.2.2*

Usin

### 1/5 — Good but not for kids

*2024-10-10, version 10.2.0*

It was a really fun app, but then some creep started posting some really gross pictures.🍑🍆 so keep the younger kids off!!

### 1/5 — Idk

*2024-09-07, version 10.2.0*

This app is confusing. I am putting the same horse but different pictures on and it keeps saying a bunch of different breeds each time.

### 1/5 — Not correct

*2024-08-30, version 10.2.0*

Completely wrong

### 3/5 — Nice!!

*2024-08-08*

I’m Scarlett_and_cooper✨🌼from the app love the community💕🌼✨
It’s not good for scanning but it sometimes gets it right so i like it for my opinion💕✨

### 1/5 — The worst ever

*2024-06-19, version 10.2.0*

I was doing the easiest horses ever like a paint horse or a palomino pony but it keep on saying mix breeds and I know all these horses beed and color

### 5/5 — Whoever created this app read

*2024-05-30*

It is a very fascinating app but is obviously very new. None of the breed guesses are right. I would love to help make the game better, I know a ton about horse breeds. A few guesses were almost accurate. One Andalusian from Brazil got mangalarga and Lusitano which is a good guess. I posted an African Barb which didn’t get noticed. I had a  mangalarga /standardbred x Saddlebred cross
