I used to love this game

I used to be completely obsessed with this game, until one day I went on to the app and everything was different and confusing and it looked all jumbled up. I was so mad for a while that I deleted the game for 4 months. I’m trying to make it work, but to be honest, I’m not sure I can.

New Mobile Version Sucks

I've been playing this on and off for years. It is now basically impossible because of the new landscape update. It is now just the desktop version in an app, which is incredibly hard to use. Feeding horses is basically impossible now without zooming in a TON. Autofeed and autocomps were such a big help for mobile players, because now it takes more than double as long on the mobile app.

The UI "update" ruined the actual gameplay

Look the ui update for the tab menu isn't the problem. The problem is that anything interactive now is nearly impossible to click. Feeding and training, the tiny blips for how much / how long are SO hard to get right. I've also literally spent 3+mins just trying to hit the x to get out of a menu before. I've reverted to just refreshing the page if I get stuck in a menu (like feeding) accidentally. It makes the game so infuriating I've rage quit a few times now.

Payment

I've paid for passes but it said payment was canceled while money was still taken.

I miss the old Vertical gameplay.. its a bit jarring, pros and cons

Howrse for years has continued to keep their formula the same, equestrian breeding etc. it's a old classic game for all of us who grew up with it. many people over the years have downloaded the app and loved the simple click and play gameplay, that was before the horizontal update,

they have made the app more appealing, accessible, and function like a wide screen. it really didn't make the new experience exciting or interesting. many players feel like this new aspect ratio is very jarring. especially if you have played the app a few months ago and come back later and realize your easy vertical click and play gameplay has been changed to fit your phone screen awkwardly. some even
compared it to the PC website with how jarring and annoying it is to be reminded of a website when now we had a simple vertical click gameplay

from before. I believe this new change is jarring for many. overall howrse has kept their gameplay, style, and recipe the same. so commendable for that. overall this state of the app 2/5
