The app said he was a mixed breed. Morgan, thoroughbred and Icelandic pony or something. I went with that thinking it was true . I just got a 100 % pure thoroughbred that’s an OTTB and she is even registered. (Here comes Meg). The app said she was a Tennessee walking horse and a pinto. This is definitely not accurate.😂 ### 2/5 — Fun app but fails at its main purpose *2024-01-23* My registered 90% Quarter horse (with Thoroughbred and Arabian in her) was detected as a 90% Tennessee Walker + Paint, good for just messing around but absolutely not anywhere near accurate. ### 4/5 — The dog scanner is more accurate. But this is still good! *2023-07-07* I think the dog scanner gets more breeds correct than the cat or horse scanner, but horse scanner is still right a lot and it’s fun to play! GOOD: It got my Andalusian, Irish cob, and mustang right. BAD: It thinks my Frisian-Morgan cross is a Percheron, and it thinks my Appaloosa is a DOG! But it’s still a good app and I recommend it for horse lovers. ### 2/5 — Not the best *2022-12-30, version 9.6.4* My horse scanner username is 🐴Spice💖Ela💖Chief🐴. Not Accurate while scanning but there are some reasons you haven’t got All the breeds yet, but you need to bring in more breeds because one of my horses are Anglo-Arab x Connemara but it can’t say Anglo Arab cause it doesn’t have it you just need to bring it in please. It needs another update too! Thank you ### 1/5 — Not actuate *2022-05-22, version 9.6.4* Not actually doing anything just saying stuff ### 1/5 — Horse scanner 0 stars *2022-04-18, version 9.6.4* I have a purebred quarter horse and Welshman pony and I wanted to test it on them and it said they were both mixed which is one hundred percent a lie ### 2/5 — I like it but it’s not working *2022-03-11* So when I try posting my horse or texting on it it say to many posts please wait when I only post two a week ### 1/5 — ? *2022-02-18, version 9.6.4* On nearly all of my horses they said mixed breed even when they are not. Also the scanner said that my finest bred Warmblood horse was a DONKEY/MULE! 😳🙁😡 ### 3/5 — Could be better *2022-01-06* Firstly I would like to state that these are my personal opinions in no way, shape or form and I trying to offend anyone with my opinions Pros: -Nice user interface -People can post pictures of their horses and people can comment, favorite and report the pictures -You can access pictures in your camera role or take a picture -It works with fake/animated horses too(only if these horses are realistic) Cons: -Not always accurate -People can misuse the ability to post pictures -The camera quality is horrible(or is it just me?) As you can see the app could use some improvements. I’m not saying that the things wrong with the app make it bad it just needs to be worked with. Thank you for reading my storybook of a review I hope this helps you figure out whether to get this app or not. Have a good day/night yours truly -𝑅𝑖𝑛 𝐴𝑙𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒- ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Not horse people *2023-11-05* I used a picture of a purebred Arabian to test and see if it works before using it on other horses that are crossbreeds to figure out what they are and the purebred Arabian pulled up as a paso fino cross🙄 come on everyone I know can tell a Arabian from a paso fino cross😂 ### 1/5 — No *2023-10-07, version 9.8.8* To many creeps. End if discussion ### 1/5 — Hmm 🤔 *2023-07-24, version 9.8.8* 1star for accuracy But 5 stars for the laughs at what you get My mini Shetland came up as part donkey, she’s got nothing on her that looks like a donkey! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Essentially for knowledge based purposes *2024-12-02, version 11.2.2* Usin ### 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 ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2023-05-30* I’ve met so many more friends on this app and overall I would recommend it! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2023-01-24, version 9.6.4* I absolutely love this app, it is so much fun and the community is awesome!!💖 ### 5/5 — Where is the cow scanner? *2022-11-05, version 9.6.4* I need one for my cows! ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2022-05-28* It’s wonderful, u can post pics of ur horses and get followers and likes, it’s basically like instagram but better, because it is HORSES! Duh! Perfect app for horse people, get it RIGHT NOW!!!!! ### 5/5 — I only put 5 stars so this would be at the top *2022-03-30* I had to delete this app because people were sending weird pictures and it’s really upsetting because I loved this app! ### 5/5 — ONE STAR. *2022-02-17* This app would be better if it was more accurate. The dog and cat version are much, much, more accurate. I put a picture in of my 13.2 hand POA and the app said he had miniature horse in him. Do you know how small miniature horses are????? Only like 9 to 10.2 hands!! That’s a lot smaller than my POA. I also think that the app thinks that all the small rugged ponies are Fell Ponies. I do have a Fell Pony, but they didn’t even recognize him as pure Fell Pony. It’s really dumb. Then it said that my Welsh Pony, which doesn’t look anything like a Fell Pony, was a Fell Pony/Hucul Pony/MORGAN HORSE CROSS. A MORGAN HORSE?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?! WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! HOW CAN HE BE A CROSS OF A MORGAN HORSE?!?! Ahem, anyways, I don’t think the people who made this app are very professional when it comes to horses… I mean, this app is fine if you want to use it as a game, but it’s not accurate at all. Also, HOW CAN MY QUARTER HORSE BE A CROSS OF AMERICAN STANDARDBRED AND A AMERICAN SADDLEBRED?!?! This is quite insane. I know you can do better. I’m not trying to be rude, just please try. Have a great day!!! 🙃 ### 5/5 — We have a problem *2022-02-13* To the developers of this app people have been posting pictures of the private parts and it gives all of us the creeps so it would be nice if you could monkey a block button so we do not have to deal with it please and thank you ### 5/5 — We have a problem *2021-10-29* To the developers of this app We’ve been having a problem with creeps lately aka people posting their private parts me and everyone else think it’s getting really annoying and gross so it would be very very nice if you could put a block button in the app or something so we don’t have to worry about all the creeps anymore please and thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
