User reviews

Thank you! Much needed resource

The calendar view is exactly what I needed to help me decide whether to ride before work or after during the heat of midsummer. It surprised me that the increased morning/evening humidity made riding midday projected to be safer. I’m still getting to know my horse so I’ll have to see what he has to say about that! The app is also helping me feel confident about the extra steps I’m taking, like both a pre-ride and post-ride hose-down, are appropriate. Thank you so much for making this!
I do wish I could see more hours of the day in portrait mode, as I sometimes ride at 6 or 7.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your review! It is a great feeling to know that the app is helping a horse and their rider. You can adjust the number of hours shown in calendar (landscape) mode in Settings which are in the bottom half of the location screen. Scroll down to the Calendar View section and the type it in the start time and end time. The end time does need to be entered in 24 hour format (e.g., enter 10 pm as 22). The graph in portrait mode always shows the full 24 hours in a day. You can set the number of days shown in graph (or calendar) mode in settings as well. Hope this helps!
