ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Howrse holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Howrse has 3.5K ratings behind it against 526, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Howrse's written reviews are positive against 52% of Jumpy Horse Show Jumping's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Howrse ships an update every 4 months, Jumpy Horse Show Jumping every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
