My FAVORITE game! Ever. Period. The 3 star rating isn't because the game sucks or anything, it's because the app doesn't work very well. It froze on the Sushi mini game event hours ago, and no matter how many times I completely close the app the screen isn't changing. I suggest using the browser version since it works loads better, even on your phone. (This isn't the first time my game froze like this, I have to uninstall every time to fix it)

I still have to play on my PC for my equestrian center unfortunately but otherwise it works great! Has a few issues with some event games but not needed to play most. I love the shortened tap for skills and just general care is easier and takes less time. Even the feeding automatically takes it to the suggested amount which is helpful. Overall great for some things and terrible for others.

Game is great but I highly recommend desktop version on PC. I've been playing this game for over 10 years and it is a great game. Only downsides are how competitive the game gets and the lack of actually interacting with your horses. Extremely hard to get into the competitive side of the game unless you are a long time player. The only interaction you get with your horses is clicking a lot of buttons around an image. The game needs some reworking for sure, but it's still great.

Ok, well first of all the tutorial takes about 10 minutes with no option to skip. Kinda boring and repetitive all we basically have to do is train,feed,groom repeat. I know there are other things to do other than those but it's pretty hard to remember even tho the long ass tutorial. Overall app deleted not very interesting I might give it a 2nd chance tho and maybe try to understand the point of the game better but right now it just seems like a waste of time.

Not as Mobile Friendly as it Could Be The mobile app does not let players access everything the game has to offer. The Equestrian Center pages are completely inaccessible. You cannot access the Equestrian Center Manual through the app. I also wish training was a sliding scale on the app like it is online rather than the current set increments as it is more efficient. Also can't look at Trophy requirements. The app is good, but could be better and more mobile friendly. I'd rate it higher then.

I had a wonderful experience. beautiful horses, easy to learn controls. The only thing is when you first start the game you get the golden apple and you HAVE to get a new coat, now I like you have this but I wanted to keep my horse with its original coat but I had to change it! That really made me upset but I got along with it, I'd just appreciate if you had a option to change the coat instead of being forced to change it.. but otherwise, fantastic!

The game itself is fun but the app is difficult to use. I was a player back in 2011 and really enjoyed the game, quit due to life, and decided to come back just recently. Overall it's still a fun game that I enjoy but the updates are awful. The majority of the horses are hideous now and the new way auctions are setup is really annoying. The time remaining on the auction should not increase just because someone places a new bid with a few seconds remaining. Take our options into consideration plz

Let me note, I've played this game on PC for years and years, it's a great game besides how money central it is nowadays. The phone app, however, is very slow and glitchy. It is my suggestion that you play Howrse on a laptop or a desktop, it is 100 times easier to navigate and is glitch free. The tutorial, also, is simpler to understand on PC.

I've been Howrse for several years, and love the game. You can pick your own style to play, and it supports a wide variety of communities. The app, however, lacks in many areas. It glitches a lot and I have to close out and reopen multiple times. Special events are hit or miss in the app. Teams, equestrian centers, and sales are pretty much useless on the app. I would never recommend completely playing on the app, you miss out on a lot. But used in conjunction with the computer, it is useful.

I enjoy the game, but the app doesn't let you run your own equestrian center, which is one of the best ways to both make and save money, boarding horses and making your own tack and equipment. Adding that to this app or creating a second for those who only have mobile would be nice. As it stands, it makes more sense to just play it on chrome. Giving us an option for training time would also be much appreciated.

This is a good game but it does glitch and some features don't work. For example my app will not allow me to make an equestrian center telling me I need to switch to the classic version of the app. I go and press the button to switch to the classic version and nothing happens. Definitely a fun game but can be frustrating when I doesn't work

Game is a little bit skippy. Especially when typing in names, or anytime it has anything to do with the keyboard. Also including during auction- you try and type in an amount before the final seconds, only for the entire game to freeze.(That's why I'm here now). I would also like to mention; when looking for coverings, the game also decides to stop working, ultimately leading me to restart the app.

Mostly good, but navigation can sometimes be a bit opaque, especially when it comes to beginner/apprentice objectives. It seems like some things simply aren't available in the app. One major complaint: the auction/direct sales searches get "stuck". Changing criteria accomplishes nothing. Restarting app/device fixes it sometimes, but it's random. Would love to see that fixed and some pages from Classic version made accessible.

It's a really fun game, but there's one main problem... The search does not work at all for me or my mom... So we cannot search for specifics in the auction house, and it really bums us out. But otherwise there's so many options and different variations of horses and the tack is so cool with different colours, and even the different types of designs you can choose with the golden apple. Four out of five stars, just one taken away because of the search never working

Great game, but the app is very glitchy and is missing a lot of features. It looks nicer and is, for the most part, more user friendly as an app, but there are a lot of things, such as foaling a mare and managing your equestrian center, that can only been done in classic version. I hope greater compatibility comes soon, but even with the issues the app has, it is still worth downloading and playing!

Overall, if you really want to play the game, play on desktop. The app is limiting in what you can do and it is glitchy, half the time the app loads only in the top left corner and I have to just exit and come back later and hope that it will load up properly the next time. It is a good mobile game to mindlessly click buttons if you're looking for some nostalgia or to pass the time. Can't wait until some updates so it isn't glitchy and we can manage equestrian centers via the app.

Very enjoyable game, especially if you love horses. There are a few glitches and lag, but it's not too bad. A few things could use a little more explanation and the ability to click on an icon and have it explained as there are a couple icons I still cant figure out what they do (enlarging that area isnt an option) A few things are a bit misleading, as in if you buy a starter pack it wont let you purchase another one, yet it states extra goodies for every one you buy.

Stuck in the equestrian center tutorial screen. I was so excited to play a game from my childhood but there's no way to avoid going through the tutorial which covers the entire screen. The part of the game I was looking forward to, equestrian center, was unlocked but it's stuck on the page linking me to their website which says my email is invalid. Basically, I was having a great time until I wasn't allowed to play anymore. Give an option to skip the tutorial.

I love the game. But I've deleted and re-downloaded it multiple times. Because every time I try to create my own equestrian center, the game logs me out and won't let me back in. This is really frustrating. The game designers need to fix this ASAP!! This game also will not let me confirm my email address! Ugh! This is a huge problem for me, and it makes me angry. Especially because this last time that I downloaded the game, I was doing so well! I had great horses, and I had lots of fun. FIX THIS

The game itself is fun, but the app is missing much of the functionality of the desktop site. Profile pictures and presentations don't show at all, horses' recent competition results don't pop up when you view the horse, you can't see Helios Ray backgrounds, and it often freezes up when trying to name a horse. It's okay for playing Howrse on the go, but I prefer the website.
