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.

Please return to vertical app layout

I love this game, and using the app was really nice for me since I use my phone way more often than my computer. But now the horizontal layout has made the app virtually unusable. Please at least give users a way to toggle between vertical and horizontal layouts.

obsessed

after +3 years of playing i can honestly say this game has a hold on me. it scratches all the itches i want in a game

Love the game but…

I love the game but I haven’t been able to play it because it wouldn’t let be sign into my account and I was only off for a week because was on a trip with family but over all it’s a great game. 😋

Hate the horizontal

Hate the new landscape format. Users should have a choice

New mobile version sucks

I love this game and have been playing it since 2009. The summer time is when I mainly use the mobile app as I live out of a camper for seasonal work. This new update has made it completely unusable for me. Unless you have an ipad, it is the most asinine design for phone users. Will continue using the desktop version, but shame on the people who tested and approved this. We hate it.

I love it but there are problems

I absolutely am addicted to the game but there is one big problem. I hate the new look to the game and the new arrangement. I deeply hope you can fix this. It is very ugly looking. I liked the old one better. Thank you for listening and please please write back and fix it I loved this game but you could lose a lot of players

The new mobile version is terrible

I’ve been playing this game since a few years and you just killed the game with that new version of the app ! I’m not putting any more money in it, I’m quitting the game …

Literally Unplayable

Just downloaded and will not let me even start playing without telling me to go update it in the app store

Love the game, app doesn’t work

App hasn’t worked for awhile

Love Howrse

Been playing for well over 20 years and still love this game
