Mainly to do with the fixed brush handicap hurdle. Another bug where jockey feedback just vanishes after a while. Seems like developers are neglecting this game when it’s nearly perfect. Shame ### 2/5 — Bugs *2024-06-08* App keeps crashing ### 2/5 — Cash cow *2023-04-10, version 1.162* The game although looks and feels like the pc version is specially made to make you have a loan to help with finances but the catch is that this cost you real money and then the game can crash at any given minute and you then lose it because you only have one save, to which you start again, awful version ### 4/5 — Live this game but a few problems *2022-11-16, version 1.162* Have been on this game everyday for for 6weeks and love it but today after spending 50 in the game I lost everything my money and everything I build Very poor ### 3/5 — Question *2022-10-06* How do you get a diffrent region horse like say your in an American game how do you get a UK horse, Japan horse, Australian horse? ### 1/5 — Game needs fixed! *2022-08-30, version 1.162* I have been playing this game for a while now and no matter how many times I start a new save I cannot get past a certain date as the game just crashes and shuts down.It ruins the long term playability of the game which most people will want to do and makes it a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Game stops working during 2023 season *2022-02-28, version 1.162* I can see others have posted the same problem. Don’t invest time and money in this, like me, the developers still haven’t resolved the bug and so you will lose out in the end. ### 1/5 — John *2021-10-20, version 1.162* Hi I’ve been playing this game from the beginning on a PC back to the very first one love the game but seven has disappointed me after 25 seasons on the game with an established stable I’ve now had races in the calendar disappear totally champions day at Royal Ascot only has three races now well in which be in the Balmoral handicap and now the game keeps crashing this didn’t happen on 6 on my iPhone I feel seven has not improved the game at all if anything gone backwards will hope this issue will be fixed on the game with a new update or something or roll on starters orders 8Fingers crossed that one will be better ### 1/5 — Starters Orders 7 *2021-10-20, version 1.162* The game stops working once you have everything 2023 just crashes when you have finished the day. Annoying if you’re paying for game and in game purchases just for the game to stop functioning when you’re in a position to start breeding and have upgraded everything to 300+ horses for the game to just crash in a couple of seasons sort it out or lose customers. I tried reinstalling the game and keeping data but it didn’t make a difference. ### 1/5 — Game does not work *2021-10-14, version 1.162* Purchased the game for £5.99 I want a refund it does not work Just keeps throwing me out of the game at the end of day 1 I have tried multiple times. ### 1/5 — 3000 hours on pc *2021-08-24* This port is horrendous and mostly because the dev nerfed things so badly you really have no choice but to buy the money packs. I had many things I wanted to say, but I am just going to refund this game and move on. Disappointed is an understatement. The dev should be ashamed to call this starters orders. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-02-01, version 1.151* Game is terrible doesn’t fit to screen properly lags out a lot would like my money back had so many high hopes for this rather play a game I’d watch adds with then play this and miss hours by lags ### 4/5 — Can improve further *2021-01-05, version 1.151* I’ve owned various iterations of this game on Mac, and through no fault of the developer I can’t play on the computer anymore. So, my first dip with SO7 is this mobile version, which as you might expect is slightly more streamlined than the desktop game. But you still get a very complex and challenging game for your money. The most noticeable difference is the commentary - which is quite impressive in how it reads out the horse names, but it seems to repeat itself a lot. After a few races, I think I preferred the simpler, more clear, commentary from SO6. ### 3/5 — Not enough races *2020-12-08, version 1.151* Had this game on pc years ago, on mobile main issue for me is not enough races, if say I have a 3yr old 1m2f horse it’s very hard to even find a race for it never mind a suitable one, you end up grabbing any race you can even if it mostly too short/long or too high/low class. Also you can only book up to 2 weeks ahead?? That’s not right is it ? ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-11-21, version 1.151* No doubting the depth of simulation on this game but it crashes every other race and it’s impossible to train a winner, to really progress you need to throw money at it in terms of buying coins from the store. Wouldn’t recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HELP *2025-02-08, version 1.171* It’s a quality game but it gets to a certain date then quits the app and just keeps doing it ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-11-11, version 1.171* Seems to crash whenever you try and enter the app ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-08-31, version 1.171* Really good game but randomly crashes and u lose everything which is such a waste of time needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — ***Do not buy this game*** *2024-04-21, version 1.170* I read the reviews before committing to buying the game, but hoped that some of the previously mentioned bugs would have been fixed in the years since release… they have not. The game will not even open, I have deleted and re-downloaded it 4 times, each with an identical result. I have requested a refund from Apple, and if I could have scored it lower, I would have. ***Do not buy this game*** ***Do not buy this game*** ***Do not buy this game*** ### 1/5 — Starters orders 7 *2024-04-10, version 1.170* It won’t even open for me ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2024-03-24, version 1.170* Total rip off ### 1/5 — Game has issues *2023-06-14* Game constantly stops working and unable to open my saved game which I had put additional $ into. Download with caution. ### 1/5 — ripoff *2022-10-26, version 1.162* used to be a great game but you pay for it, then it‘s impossible to play without the micro transaction on top. Wish they continued to update the older version which was better ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-09-24, version 1.162* What a terrible piece of design. The game is great on windows but it’s like they haven’t made any changes to make it playable on the mobile version. It doesn’t even fit on the screen to start with and the same screens are as detail as the windows version which makes it almost unplayable. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-09-07, version 1.162* Possibly the worst game I’ve ever encountered. Horses constantly finish last. Doesn’t matter how you place them or where you race them even finish last in Class7. I consider myself an horse racing expert and wanted something to do in my spare time but wish I hadn’t paid for this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — INDIAN RACING CALENDAR *2024-01-16* Add the Indian racing calendar ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2021-06-24, version 1.151* This is a fantastic game . I have played many horse racing games but the depth and detail in this Game is way better than any other. This game makes you feel like a real horse racing trainer/breeder you have real race track courses and jockeys and race schedules. I would highly recommend this game . ### 5/5 — American races *2020-10-10, version 1.151* Love it but can we get names for American races? I wanna go for the triple crown but the races don’t have names so I don’t know which ones to book ### 5/5 — The review *2020-08-16* It is good but the people are haters ### 5/5 — New Crash Found *2020-07-30, version 1.151* I love this game soooo much. But I can’t past Tuesday 11th Jan 2028 on Uk Flat season. Just crashes the game!!! So annoying! ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2019-12-11* The best managerial game on thoroughbred horseracing,gameplay is extensive and indulging as well.Will be a even more good product if they weed out the bugs.One kind request is to add the Indian racing calendar Mod,big fan of the franchise from India :) thank you. ### 5/5 — Great. *2019-12-05, version 1.147* A excellent horse racing game on mobile that will keep racing fans happy. Much better than 6 which seemed to crash all the time and was less polished and needed everything unlocked. The menus work much better now on my iPad but they are still cramped on my iPhone 7. The new commentary also works a treat. I should also say that the jumps racing bug was quickly fixed via an update and jumps mode works fine now. In short everything is better than so6. A few extra racecourses would be nice but basically the best horse racing game you will find on a mobile. ### 5/5 — Superb. *2019-12-04, version 1.147* Finally a decent racing game rather than the usual pay to win money grabs. Worth every penny. Please develop further. Maybe improve the user interface in places to make it a little more friendly. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-02, version 1.146* Good game ### 4/5 — Please update this game *2024-04-19* Great game but there is a UK jumps Haydock bug that keeps crashing the game. Mainly to do with the fixed brush handicap hurdle. Would also be nice if you could add the flat/jumps combined career, the Welsh national and apprentice jockeys.
