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

….is the “improved experience on mobile” in the room with us?
This new landscape version of the app makes it pretty much functionally useless. It takes everything about the desktop website and makes it…..basically exactly the same, which is NOT good on a mobile device. The previous portrait mode version of the app wasn’t amazing but it was 100x better than this.

Miss what it used to be
The hand-holding technique makes game extremely limited. Used to by my favorite as a kid but my nieces hated it cause the lack of free will
Amazing you should get it
I highly recommend this game. It is amazing there’s so many breeds which I’m really happy about cause most games only have certain
breeds. I’m really happy that they make games that people actually love and actually like and they’re just amazing makers so please support them in. This is the best game ever 😍

Best
OMG this game is so good and so much fun 🤩 I can’t believe this is even a thing I love it so much. It’s the best game in the whole world. Also there is one tiny thing. It’s so fun that sometime that’s about it but this is I recommend this for three-year-olds that’s how good it is. I love it so much.

Great nostalgic game
I played this game a bunch as a kid and came back to it recently. I love that there’s an app now and the ui is so similar between the app and the browser. However it does miss out on some browser features that are very useful like BLUP breakdown when you hover over the bar.
There is an issue with freezing hence only four stars. I have noticed on iPhones if you accidentally pull the lock screen down when playing, the app will freeze and needs restarting. A minor nitpick but it gets annoying haha.
But apart from that, I love it and am happy to be back in the Howrse community 🐴

Some inconvenient functionality
I’m a returning player who came back after I found out about the mobile app. It appealed to me due to the convenience compared to PC. With the landscape / horizontal-view, it’s not convenient or efficient for me to play as much as I want on a smartphone. I find it awkward to play while on-the-go because you need both hands rather than one. Additionally, my hands and fingers are becoming stiff and sore due to having to hold my phone differently to play, especially since my phone is too big for my thumbs to tap anything closer to the center of the screen so I need to readjust my grip. For the company itself, it means losing money because I am less productive playing; therefore, I am not buying passes as often.
Another complaint I have is that I am constantly having to log into my account every 2-4 times I open the app. It’s pretty annoying needing to type on a keyboard for a click-based game.
Some improvements I would like to see would be to make the different pages (like Today, Breeding Farm, Equestrian Center, Trade, etc.) easier to access because I’m not a fan of having to 1. Scroll up, 2. Open the Menu, 3. Select the Category, 4. Select the specific Page. Instead, I would prefer to see all of the page options (Office, Horses, Competition Results, Management, Boxes, Meadows, etc.) on one screen/view; therefore, save a click by skipping step #3. Another minor improvement for me would be returning to the previous page with the same search/filters applied. For example, when I search for a horse with the same name, I have to re-enter the same name if I want to view different horses with the same name.
These are my only complaints and preferences. The game runs smoothly otherwise. I really appreciate the devs being active and present for us. :)

😭😭 please read
Ok so I used to play all the time but I took a break afterwards but! Now every time I try to play again it won’t let me in it it says something like failed to play or something like that and I love the game but I can’t play anymore please fix this!
Formatting Issue
The buttons and text on this game are way too small. It would be easier to use if some of the data on-screen was condensed and formatted for phone gameplay.
The most boring horse game ever
The tutorial is way to long and I want to see and play the competitions and other stuff not just press buttons
New UI is not playable
Gave the new update a chance but I hate it. I’ve returned to this game many times before with new accounts after inactivity on previous ones and never had a problem catching back up but this new interface has ruined the entire experience. It crashes constantly and I have to restart the game, everything is tiny and it’s so much more tedious than before. I’m not a desktop player and that’s what I loved about the mobile version, it was different and suited many players. Hopefully the developers can make it an option to switch between the two versions or just undo the update entirely but I don’t have much hope for that and may just put the game down and never return which is such a shame.

Unusable
Love to play on my laptop, but the app is useless. Nothing I do even registers when I play on my phone. Completely wastes my time. If I’m not near a computer that day I’ll lose my login streak. Logins don’t count when you do it through the app I guess. I also got charged for a hat full of passes to get my membership twice. I’m nice through the website, and another time through my phone a few days later. I hate the app now after being charged twice. When I tried to explain the problem I received no response and was charged regardless. What a complete waste of time and my hard earned money to put an unusable, glitchy app like this on the App Store. Have been playing this game since I was a little kid, and I love it, but this was just so disappointing.

Fun game, Terrible app
I’ve played Howrse since 2010. When the mobile app launched I began to use it regularly as it was much more accessible than constantly sitting in front of a computer, you could open the app for a few minutes and perform a few tasks in the time you had. Not everyone has the opportunity to spend several hours in front of a computer everyday, and that’s how a mobile form of a game can increase accessibility. However, the app recently went through a “redesign.” The app is now the desktop website, on a 5 inch touch screen. There has been no adjustment of text or proportions to tailor the desktop layout to a phone screen. Text is tiny, and attempting to press buttons without zooming in is impossible. Every page requires you to zoom and scroll in order to perform basic functions. This causes great eye strain and reduces accessibility. The app is very poor and nearly impossible to use.

A Review
I love this game. There are so many different kinds of Horses. From many breeds of horses to even more breeds of ponies, Draft horses and even two different breeds of Donkeys. This is a wonderful game. Btw, there’s also unicorns too.😊🙂
Not that big of a fan
I don't know why it needs my parents email and my parent will probably not agree to that but if i got to play then i think it will be fun but the horses are really cute and the creators did a really good job making them!
App not good
The newest version of the app is horrible. It does not function as an app. It does not fit phone. Everything is too small and it's super hard to navigate. It's essentially the desktop version of their website which does not translate to an app.
