I’m on the newest Apple iPhone version and have had no problems at all. The app now sees me exactly where I am rather than a few miles away now it uses GPS to locate me. I paid a one off 99p several years ago and it’s never let me down. I don’t know what it costs now but I wouldn’t be without it. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2023-05-06* Cannot find my location anymore. Have deleted and reinstalled and allowed the app access to my location and still not working. Was helpful when it worked. Currently it’s useless, annoying when you have to pay for it **Developer response:** If you just tap the search icon (top right) of the screen you'll be able to select [Use Current Location]. An update to the app is on its way to address this initial install issue. ### 3/5 — Wish it had alerts and notifications *2023-04-27, version 1.4* Location is ok for me. ### 5/5 — Amazing Resource *2022-08-17* Brilliant resource that I use everyday, all year round to check before letting my pony out. Easy to get fooled into thinking the risk is low if your not checking the app. Wouldn’t be without it now. ### 2/5 — Lower than average... *2022-07-02* Location at best is several miles away despite being in a highly populated area. App sometimes freezes for several days. Seems to work on temperature alone - I can get free weather forecasting apps which are more accurate for the location so this seems to have been a waste of money **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’ve made several major updates and improvements to the app recently, including significant enhancements to the search feature. The Laminitis App’s data service uses a sophisticated computer model that incorporates various weather parameters and the specific types of grasses (C3/C4) found in your location. This allows us to provide a quick and easy risk prediction to support your daily horse management decisions. ### 3/5 — Location problem *2022-06-24* Had this app for a month and all of a sudden it can’t find my location so annoying **Developer response:** This issue should now be resolve if you update the app to the latest release. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2022-05-25, version 1.4* Downloaded today. Location settings switched to “always”. Doesn’t find my location. Just says “one moment”. Has done for over 2 hours. No details for contact/support. Waste of £6. Wouldn’t recommend purchasing. ### 2/5 — Location Location Loacation….. *2022-01-12* I’d like to give it 5stars. I live in between Bude and Bideford 1 is in the RED and the other is in the Green! Would be great for the app to pick up my location within a 3 mile radius. I have common sense but this tool would be actually helpful if the locations were updated. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. You'll be pleased to know the system that drives the laminitis app has been greatly improved since your review. We welcome your feedback again after trying the latest version of the app. ### 2/5 — Location miles out *2021-05-21, version 1.4* Why have I paid £6.99 for an app that only gives locations 7/8 miles away. What a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Suspect data & suspect trials? *2021-05-14, version 1.4* Anyone placing their entire management based on this app is likely to be walking on a knife edge with their equine partner or partners, it might work or it might not. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dishonest application *2025-10-17, version 3.1.9* I paid £5 for the app, then i'm told to use the app i have to spend another £20 to make it useful... refund requested ### 1/5 — Laminitis app *2025-06-20* i have this app because i have a laminitis pony so i wanted an app to help to check how high the sugars were in the grass. I paid £5.99 for it and it’s just been a waste of money, every single time i check it no matter what location i’m in (my yard is not close to me where i live it’s about 10-15 minute drive) the checker goes to the same place every single time. Every time i check the app it says the same thing, clearly it’s just a waste of time and i’m cancelling my subscription because you can’t tell me every time i check it and in different places the sugars are at the same level. Wouldn’t recommend it to anybody because it doesn’t work. **Developer response:** Can I ask that you reach out to us using the the 'Send feedback to the developer' from within the app or by using our contact details on our website so we can take a look at your concerns. https://www.laminitis-risk.com/contact_us.php ### 1/5 — Only in the UK! *2025-06-19* This looks like a cool app but it only works in the UK, which is not stated anywhere. Butter beware! **Developer response:** The Laminitis App is available in many countries around the world. These are listed on our website.

Just downloaded the app and it won’t load. It says “one moment” and that’s all I get. Ridiculous!! Waste of money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - waste of £6.99 *2023-08-28, version 1.4* Does not work at all - have reloaded it many times and all it says is “waiting” As others have said in their reviews - waste of money! Paid for an app that DOES NOT WORK How is this allowed to be sold in the all store? Rip off ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-08-02, version 1.4* It says it works in France - it does not - total waste of money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-24, version 1.4* Paid out for this app, but it’s stuck on ‘One moment…’ 😡 ### 1/5 — Pointless *2023-05-13, version 1.4* Don’t waste your money. It doesn’t tell you what it bases the information on. Just a dial with very little else going on ### 1/5 — Location not working *2023-04-11, version 1.4* Paid for the app only a few months ago and the location has stopped working, meaning the app is currently useless. ### 1/5 — Location no longer working *2022-06-23* Please fix…I have deleted and reinstalled, I’ve tried putting in my actual location rather than it use my ‘current location’ and still just says ‘one moment’ or ‘finding location’ Please fix, this is a paid for app and not an inexpensive app either **Developer response:** This issue can be resolved by updating the app to the latest version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great tool we use daily *2026-07-03* We have the enhanced subscription and use this daily as a guide to allow safe grazing times for our horses , mini and donkey . ### 5/5 — A must have for metabolic horse owners *2026-06-26* I thought I understood in NSC in grass until I got this app and it’s an eye-opener when the values really are unsafe versus safe. I credit this with saving the lives of two of my worst cases and making them rideable again. ### 5/5 — Keeps my ponies safe. *2026-04-27* I’ve been using this app for years and haven’t had any more instances of laminitis. It tells me when the risk is higher and I adjust turnout accordingly. 10/10. ### 5/5 — Simple and useful *2026-04-18, version 3.2.0* Love the app. Daily notification for risk. Alerts for increased risk. Very useful app indeed. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-13* Helps me figure out when and how long I let my horses out in pasture a huge help ### 5/5 — 12 years of helping manage EMS *2026-03-09* This APP has been a game changer for me, helping me every day decide if it safe to turn out my exceptionally sensitive EMS pony (with her muzzle on) The developments over the years have continued to improve the accuracy. Obviously it is very important to continue to monitor condition and count calories as well as managing starch & sugar .. but the APP helps in a very real way… AMAZING!! ### 5/5 — Great help *2025-11-30* The app is a huge help. I went on vacation last year (didn’t know about app then) came back to laminitic ponies. It was awful. Now I use judgement along with the app-I would never rely solely on an app to determine what to do with my ponies….but it helps peace of mind when I see it in the high range they go out with muzzles on for just a couple hours. When in the lower ranges I let them stay out longer. And vacation was much less worrisome! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-10-23* Really appreciate how this app helps me know when to turnout the horses on their grass or when to restrict grazing. Strongly recommend. It works in Canada. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear the app is helping you manage grazing and turnout decisions — and it’s great to know it’s working well for you in Canada. We truly appreciate your support and recommendation! ### 5/5 — Good tool *2025-10-18, version 3.1.9* I've been using this when needed for @12 years. Always found it to be reliable, enables me to see when it's safe to put them out on extra grass in autumn, keep and eye on sugar levels over winter when we have sunny days and frosty nights and when to start restricted grazing in spring. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2025-10-15* I check this app every morning ! It helps me manage my turnout . It is easy to read and very reliable ! Would highly recommend this app and not the copies that are out there now!!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear the app has become part of your daily routine and that it’s helping you manage turnout with confidence. We truly appreciate your recommendation — and your support means a lot to us! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
