Amazing all around game realistic horse racing app besides selling races for USA claiming races need to be for USA and PLEASE UPDATE FOR IOS 11 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent iPad version of the PC game. Easy to just pick up and play. But for the 3rd time my save game fails to load and I've had to start again.
This game would be 5 star all the way, if the user had jockey controls during a race. Developers please update and add this.
Love the game and will gladly give it 5 stars when the add audio during the horse races like they have in the PC version. Will probably buy the jumps version also once that is added.
Bought this game about a month ago. Fantastic app, but just recently it began crashing, and now I can't go on for fear of loosing what I get done time and time again. So, if it's possible, please fix this! Only when it stops crashing will this app be worth five stars, and eleven bucks.
This game crashes sporadically, even if everything else in your iPad is closed. For a $10 app, I've wasted several hours making progress in the game only to have it crash. Please, please fix this as it makes for a frustrating experience. The game is fun, but not when you have to constantly re-do everything (especially when you've had several winning races). Also, sort of unprofessional that you select to have the game display in dollars on the main screen yet there are still symbols for English pounds all over the game on your money. Seems sort of lazy on the developers part like they forgot to change everything.
I love hardcore sims like this. There needs to be more on the iOS platform. Occasionally crashes in the training screen for me on my iPad 2.
Ive owned this game for over a year & there has YET to be an update! We need an update!!! More races please!
