Other than great game. Please can you fix this bug. It is still not fixed, I have tried everything to progress but to no avail, please look at this bug. ### 4/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2026-08-29, version 1.75* I love this game so much with the horses and no ads and I never get bored I could spend hours on this game the only thing I wish would change is how hard it is to get gold in my opinion so I would love in a update there’s ether a new income for gold or like how I can turn gold into silver but instead silver into gold but other than that BEST GAME EVER I RECOMEND TO EVERYONE and keep up the good work ### 4/5 — The best game except need some upgrade, so please read *2026-08-23, version 1.75* So I love this game so much, but I really wish that they would upgrade it where you can change the color of your stalls and can you change the stall shapes. ### 2/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-22, version 1.75* I started playing rival stars when one of my friends recommended it. I thought it would be an average horse racing game that would have had quality and very glitchy but when I joined the game I realised just how wrong I was. Rival Stars has awesome graphics and realistic commentary. Super fun and REALLY addicting to play! Love this game!!!!! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love this horse game *2026-08-22, version 1.75* It is definitely very fun I love how it offers steeplechase not that many games offers it and the graphics are amazing ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-22, version 1.75* I mean, the desktop version is better but still, I love all my horses! I wish I could do more instead of having to get star club, I didn’t even know about this game until seri pixel biologist played it! ### 5/5 — Things to add to the game please *2026-08-21, version 1.75* 1: being able to customize your character with like hats and helmets and different gear 2: actually being able to get off your horse and run around on foot would actually be really fun 3: I want to be able to interact with the foal more 4: I think adding more Western events like Pole bending, roping, and probably not but bull riding also western outfits because running around the barrels in your English show gear doesn’t look too normal 5: please please please add grooming and carrying for your horse part of game ### 5/5 — What’s my ideas 😃😃😃 *2026-08-21, version 1.75* 1. More in-game money tack, nothing that costs money like in the events….I miss so many good wasted tacks that cost money!!! 2. New and better horse breeds, I know they have some good horse breeds already but they never really change they all look the same!! If only we had ones that actually looked different… 3. Prices….THE COST OF THINGS IN THE GAME IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE 4. I need more things to do in the game!! Like, take care of horses,interact with people,bidding and custom horses like the desktop addition…. 5. Finally more stuff to do in free roam rather than jumping….its kinda sad really 🫤 Besides all of this 😅😅😅 ITS A REALLY GOOD GAME AND YOU NEED TO GET IT AND TRY IT OR YOUR MISSING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — PLEASE ADD BARREL RACING FREE *2026-08-20, version 1.75* I love love love this game, but i really really want free barrel racing. PLEASE MAKE BARRELS FREE 🛢️🛢️🛢️!!! ### 5/5 — Andalusian horse and Lusitano horse *2026-08-20, version 1.75* Love this game add new horses please ### 3/5 — Restrictive and money grabbing *2026-08-20, version 1.75* I have to mention first that the graphics are amazing and honestly THE best horse racing game out there- BUT the big issue for me is that you are highly restricted unless you pay extreme amounts of money for the ‘star club’ to actually do anything other than racing- to build onto that, whenever theirs an update I get so excited because it looks so fun to just find out it’s only for the club members. Every. Single. Time. I don’t like saying this as I am a patient person when it comes to competitive games but this is 100% pay to win or you could even say pay to do anything fun, so if you are not willing to pay large sums of money to do anything, do not bother. Disappointing. ### 5/5 — THE ONE AND ONLY GOAT GAME *2026-08-20, version 1.75* I barely even explain this game the features are so good and everything is just so highly detailed. There’s so many players. I just love it so much also can you add barel racing(but for all not just for star club!!!)❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 ### 4/5 — Mostly happy with the game *2026-08-18, version 1.75* Minor things could be fixed. Example; I’m tired of having to waste my materials on buying or breeding a new horse to complete goals when I already have a horse that’s past that goal. Like one of my current goals is to level up a grade 6 horse to lvl16 speed. But I already have a grade 6 horse that’s speed lvl21. So now I have to waste materials buying a new horse and training it just to advance in the game. It’s kinda irritating and not the first time I’ve had this issue. ### 5/5 — 10/ 10 *2026-08-18, version 1.75* Omg! As a horse rider I'm shocked! ### 5/5 — So awesome *2026-08-18, version 1.75* Best game ever! ### 5/5 — Please read!! *2026-08-16, version 1.75* Omg play this game u will not regret it ### 5/5 — My Review for Rival Star Horse Racing! *2026-08-15, version 1.75* I absolutely love this game! The graphics, the horses, I compare it to Star Stable! This game is 5 stars, and Star Stable is 4. Much better game! I’m glad this game can give more stuff without you having to buy much! ### 5/5 — The most awesome game in the world *2026-08-14, version 1.75* Super super super awesome 🤩 ### 4/5 — I love the game *2026-08-12, version 1.75* I love this game but make barrel racing free because me and other people who can just buy star club want to barrel race so if you would make barrel racing available for everyone other then at I love this game it is amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Help!! *2026-08-22, version 1.75* I create a team, no one is able to join, and I am unable to join a team no matter how many times I restart my game 😭😭 ### 1/5 — App Crashed *2026-07-31, version 1.74* Bad crash ### 1/5 — Stole hundreds of dollars *2026-07-08, version 1.74* I had an account that was extremely active, with hundreds of dollars of in-app purchases. I left for a few months and had a new phone. When I redownloaded it reset my entire account, saying I was a new player. I had linked to multiple saves, it was never local. I lost everything. I contacted support multiple times with no response. They stole hundreds of dollars from me, don’t think they won’t do it to you too. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-07-06, version 1.74* Game keeps crashing since updated fix it ### 1/5 — Used to be good, not any more *2026-07-03, version 1.74* This used to be a good game, but developers forgot to listen to their players. Continue to add content when we don’t have the space to accommodate the horses needed to run the events we have. They also forgot this is a racing game with players who want to race, didn’t know show jumping was a race but it’s now forced on teams as an event. Good horses are almost impossible to obtain except when using resources behind a pay wall, attempts to gain without paying are just months of frustration. I once purchased a $30 pixel horse and it took me three months to breed into something useable. So if you’re looking for a place to open your wallet so they can suck it dry just to have a good time, this is the game for you! ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-07-02, version 1.74* Unless you want to pay to do barrel racing which is the only thing I want to do be prepared to pay 10$ a month. ### 1/5 — Awesome game but one glitch *2026-06-28, version 1.73.1* This game is awesome but while I was doing a cross country course three after I beat my old time when my character was celebrating, her face became horrifying the smile was stretched too far across the face is black her eyes where Hollow!!! ### 1/5 — IF YOU SEE THIS REVIEW PIKPOK PLEASE HELP! *2026-06-23, version 1.73.1* IF YOU SEE THIS REVIEW PIKPOK PLEASE HELP!!!!!! have had the game on my old phone and I loved it sooo much! When I got a new phone though it won’t work! I’ve reinstalled countless times, I’ve restarted my phone, contacted PikPok support, and I’ve cleared cache on game! I’ve tried EVERYTHING AND IT STILL WONT WORK!!! so annoying because it was once my favorite game! IF YOU SEE THIS REVIEW PIKPOK PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Looks terrible *2026-06-05, version 1.73* Blurry on a iPad Pro. Needs quality designed for iPads. ### 1/5 — updates *2026-06-04, version 1.73* please add refusals to the game .. and less premium please and thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THE ONE AND ONLY GOAT GAME *2026-09-02, version 1.75* I barely even explain this game the features are so good and everything is just so highly detailed. There’s so many players. I just love it so much also can you add barel racing(but for all not just for star club!!!)❤️❤️🥰🥰 I’m giving you guys a reminder for future days, you guys forgot to add the dutch warmbloods to the event breeding for points ### 5/5 — Just I can’t I have no words *2026-09-01, version 1.75* Awesome the best love it but can u make it so when u get first place in live event that we win just my time we’re longer it said I came dead last ### 5/5 — I love 💗 *2026-08-31, version 1.75* Git it nowwwwwwwwwww ### 5/5 — Rival Stars Horse Racing *2026-08-29, version 1.75* Great game. I’ve been playing it for two years. I love the graphics and the horses and all the events. It’s not a money grab either. One complaint and two suggestions though. My complaint is that you guys shorted the time on free roam. Why isn’t it six minutes anymore? It’s only two minutes now! Please fix this. Also, before a flat race, can we do a warm up where we walk, trot, or canter around the track before we do the race like a real flat race? Please also add dressage. It’s so beautiful and elegant and another fun thing you should add. Over all, great game, I highly recommend it over any horse game.♥️ ### 5/5 — Some things you can add *2026-08-26, version 1.75* Ok it is a really fun game to play but can you add running in the pasture? Like your own horse canter or galloping in the pasture instead of them just standing? And can you make where your horse can have twins? Like a 50 50 for one baby or twins but if you have twins please do not make it more expensive. Can we have a choice to brush our horse? Maybe we can brush the horse before tacking up? Or just to spend more time with your horse? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-25, version 1.75* Love this game and like if if you do a dressage one to it to? ### 5/5 — Love game but wish everything was open to everybody *2026-08-25, version 1.75* Wish everything was opened to everyone and that we had dressage ### 5/5 — Customize horses and more ways to get gold on mobile *2026-08-24, version 1.75* So I fell like we can be able to make our own horse coats in different breeds and add like more ways to get gold on mobile ### 5/5 — BEST GAME *2026-08-23, version 1.75* It’s so kid friendly and has lots of great ideas and it doesn’t take money ! ### 5/5 — Love This Game, But I Have. Suggestion *2026-08-23, version 1.75* First of all I love, love this game, it’s so much fun and the graphics are amazing. I love all the different styles of horse riding you can do, I only wish one was added, dressage. I just love, love, love dressage, I think it’s a really elegant and a beautiful way to ride a horse. Now I know the whole controversy over it and how some people think it’s abuse to the horse but tbh not every single horse that competes or does dressage is in an abusive situation. It’s all up to the trainer and the rider, yes some horses are in abusive situation but thats because of them. So all i ask of the game developers is to consider adding dressage to the game, it would be so much fun if you did! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
