Photo Finish Horse Racing Reviews

There’s a good game here, but it’s ruined by bugs. For me, there are two BIG ones:

1.) I can never fully complete any tier of championship races because I am unable to fully upgrade the equipment on each tier’s horse. As I get close to maxing out the equipment on each tier, I get an error message saying I have to wait for all upgrades to finish before purchasing any more. The problem is, all of my previous upgrades HAVE finished.

2.) I can never retrieve any leaderboard information, nor can I submit any of my results to the leaderboard. I always get an error message saying that the leaderboards could not be reached and that I need to check my Internet connection. The internet connection on my iPad is just fine, and no other app has a problem reaching servers or other Cloud services. It is literally just this game that has a problem.

To try and resolve these issues, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game (losing many hours of play progress), and the problems persisted.

It’s a pity, that.

You all NEED to listen to us! I love this game. TO BITS!!!!! But the whole thing with only starting out with 10 horseshoes is bs. Either you need to make it so that things aren’t as expensive when buying with horseshoes, or make it easier to get horseshoes! Also the whole “wait like almost 2 hours for your but to be upgraded” thing is AWFUL! Literally having to wait this long for my tack to upgrade makes me loose interest. Like actually, I’ve debated uninstalling it like 4 times. You need to lower your standards. Not everybody has tons of money to throw around at games. And tugging on mom or dads sleeve u til they give you money is idiotic. Overall, I love the racing part. I do. But waiting for energy to refill again, and again is not going to make people love this game, and waiting 2 hours for tack to upgrade when you desperately need it is also the worst. MAKE IMPROVEMENTS, PLEASE!!!!

Look I'm just going to be straight up. I understand the purpose of the horseshoes. Their used to speed up progress and buy horses. But the problem is that you only start of with 10. And if you don't buy them, then you can get 1 per video. BUT the videos are limited. I could understand it you start off with 1000 horseshoes and if you don't spend then wisely then you have to do what you got to do. But no, 10!!!!! really guys!!!!!!! That isn't enough to even buy one speed up for the upgrade. I understand it's a way to make money on the game owners end. But come on now. You would SERIOUSLY have to spend allot of the players actual real out of pocket money. I'm taking around 30$ per teir. If you upgrade from level 4 to champion.

Also the time to build a horse or upgrade a horse. 1 hour to upgrade and 12 hours to train!!!!!!! Come on guys. This would seriously be the only game I played if I didn't feel like you all are pretty much forcing us to spend money on this game. And forcing me to have to wait a hour for a upgrade to race. It's not convenient at all.

I'm just saying you want to use the horseshoes for everything but only give you 10. You should add two 00 behind that.

A quick fix could be a teir where you are racing for horseshoes.

The gameplay, graphics, mechanics, and overall enjoyment I get would warrant me giving this game a four star rating. Maybe even five stars. I've run 20 circuit races thus far, so I can't speak for the bigger stakes races, but competing hasn't been an issue. I had played this on my phone, so I dropped $7 to show my support and get a little boost to cash for breeding down the line. My earnings have been pretty decent compared to the equipment I need to stay competitive so far. The one issue I've come across is when watching the ads to double my earning for a win. Like I said, I've run 20 races. I've won 20 races. Twice after touching the button to watch an ad, the screen has gone white. Forcing me to close PhotoFinishHorseRacing . It doesn't credit me with my earnings for the win and has now switched the two wins to a second and most recently a third place finish. That's a major glitch. It's caused me to miss out on two opportunities to swap horses with one of the special breeds that pop up randomly.

Awesome game, so much fun, but once you hit third tier, upgrades take way too long and you can’t progress until you upgrade. Solution? Pay. Okay fine, the game needs to make money, but the economy in the game is absurd. You might need 7 upgrades to do the next race, each upgrade takes an hour OR buy $15 worth of horseshoes. That gets you ONE more race and then you need to upgrade again. You could watch FOURTY ads instead BUT ads are limited to about 10-15ish per day. The model is predatory that makes all its money from addicts. Let me watch a few adds Or pay $9.99 for unlimited, don’t pray on game addicts.

This game is a great time passer for me and a few friends I got into the game. I love the camera, graphics are okay, and running animation is smooth. It’s also not a pay-to-play game. You CAN pay for things, but it’s not required to win! :) there are a few things that I think would make the game better. When your horse is pulling ahead of the others, it should have a lengthening stride animation. Also, telling you how many lengths ahead you are would give people bragging rights... haha! I swear my horse won by like 7 lengths last time. Anyway, this game is worth the time!

I had a lot of fun with this one. The horses are very well done and you don’t have to wait an unreasonable time for more energy and for upgrades. I never felt overwhelmed by commercials and I could watch as many as I wanted to get rewards. After a while I did wish the game was more realistic—not convinced the creators know horses or racing well. If I manage to sprint endlessly, I win. Yes it takes a lot of money and time to raise a racehorse that good but buying tack is not the same as training and strategy. The biggest drawback is the breeding but I appreciate that they came up with a way to skip having to worry about which horse is male or female (and other games let you inbreed like wildfire, which is strange). I just want to have the goal of owning both horses being bred. Anyway, you absolutely have to see the racehorse with Okapi markings. So gorgeous.

I cant understand why the developer of this game doesn’t want you to play. When you get to the championships, you will spend 3 or 4 days waiting for all the upgrades to finish. One after another. It doesn’t stop. I am on level 3 but I can’t finish the championship races on tier 1, 2, or 3. Granted I don’t sit on pins and needles waiting for my hour is up so I can log back on just to have it tell me I have to wait another 45 min for the next upgrade. I’ve been going back and forth for 4 days now and I still can’t race a championship. Come on REALLY? It is fun or I would have given it a 1 star and deleted it long ago. I still may if these championships aren’t worth waiting for. Thank goodness I have other games I can actually play until I get tired.
Come on developer. Get real here.

This is super fun but the jockeys when they race their buts go...um a little too high. And the jockeys knees are soo close together. And the golden tack. I was soo exited when I got the golden crop but then I went to the appearance section and it said 17 uses left!?!? And recharge for 50 horseshoes?!?! And the MONEY🔋💲💲💲💲 to recharge and to do the GOLDEN spin is EXTREME like who spends money on energy and a spin for $.99?!??!??!!??!!!??!?? And what’s with the rarity on the special hybrids I always get common and very common and one uncommon. Do rarities affect stats of something????????? But personally I wouldn’t do 20 races just to get tack that boosts 10% for 20 Times!?!?!!

I know you guys need money to keep making it, but waiting for tack to come is a nuisance! The game is great, and if you really know how to work it it gets better as time goes on. I just don’t have five hours in my day to wait for better tack, so the time needs to be shortened to a few minutes or cut out completely. It’s great, but since you have to wait for tack by tier 3 you want to delete it for lack of time. I don’t have the game currently, but if this was to be changed I would certainly get it again. Or at least if you could stack up waiting for tack, and while waiting for the fifth upgrade you could buy the sixth, seventh, etc and wait for them all together. I wish the game was easier to play in a smaller time frame but this isn’t a game for a busy schedule. If this was fixed, it would be (even more) amazing though!

I love PhotoFinishHorseRacing! Definitely the best horse racing app I’ve ever played, it is so realistic and you are able to do so many things that you would when actually horse racing. There is odds, betting, of course racing and you can even breed and customize your racehorse. I also like the fact that you can upgrade your horse’s tack to upgrade their racing performance. PhotoFinishHorseRacing is very addicting especially when you first play it because it is just so realistic and fun and gives you a very high quality game experience!

The horse racing game does not have many in app purchases. The graphics of your horse can be changed by the money you earn in races. You can compete live with other players and race to the finish, or race the computerized horses. It’s not a guaranteed win, but how you divide to play your horses stamina. Every tier you need a new horse, saying that you can breed different horses to get a better and unique horse. I am in love with the realistic graphics, and love the challenge. Download this game you won’t regret it! ♥️😍♥️

First I want to say that i love this game. But there are some things that i think have to change! First you should be able to sell your horses! Also some things are to expensive. Like horse patterns. Also it takes to long to upgrade the horses gear. I can understand an hour and even two hours. But three or four is kind of a long time. If i had to choose one thing that had to change it would be to be able to sell your own horses. I will rate 5 stars if these things are fixed. PLEASE FIX!!!

Okay so most horse games are really dumb and horrible and have bad or even horrible graphics but this game doesn’t have any of those this game is soooooooo good I would rate a million stars and even more. Although you really need to make things a lot less expensive like plz give people more horse shoes then 10 like come on and do you expect people to get 200 or 64 horse shoes and plz make things less expensive but otherwise this game is da bomb it’s soooooooo amazing,awesome,great and legendary!!!!!🐴🐴🐴🐴 Oh and also can you include unicorns,alicorns and Pegasus plzzzzzzzz thanks fo reading!!!!!!

I totally recommend this game to others, the graphics are awesome! You can breed your horses, win circuit races, complete champion ships and even play online against other players, though it may be challenging it comes out with great rewards, you can upgrade your horses tack to allow it to race better and much more! Overall this game is by far a 5 star horse racing game 🐎 🐴

Also I have completed all of the races up to tier 10 and have basically finished the game, it would be nice to see if they added more levels and races to win...

I downloaded this game out of curiosity a few months ago and been playing ever since. Whether you are racing against the game during the challenges or racing against other people during live season there is plenty of challenge and plenty of fun. This game does not pound you with ads in fact other than watching ads on purpose to earn free bucks or horseshoes there are none. You can almost always be racing even waiting for parts to upgrade . I found this game to be all around as good as it gets and that is not being previously a horse race fan

I love this game and I play it often! It’s really hooking! The graphics are amazing and it’s a perfect balance of easy and difficult! But, there is a few problems. I like breeding the horses but you can’t breed them after you complete the game and I find that slightly irritating. Also, you can’t sell the horses. You should be able to sell them. If these things are fixed, I’d give it a 5 star rating. So could you please update this! I love this game but I’d find it ten times more interesting if you allowed this:) Thank you for reading my review and hope you take it into consideration:)

There aren’t many horse games like this. A lot of horse games usually have so many things wrong, I can see that the people who made this game knew about horses. In other games, they don’t make the riders with their heels down, they don’t have the right tack for the discipline they are doing, and a lot of other things. On this game, I can see that the jockeys have their heels down and they have the right tack. I have seen games that use western saddles in show-jumping...
Okay enough about what this game has and other don’t lol I LOVE this game and it is amazing. One thing is that you should be able to rename your horse. I accidentally named my horse a name I didn’t want. But that’s all, this game is great. 😁

This game is amazing!! But if you guys could for some updates when the quarter horse races run if you could do races from different distances and more horses per race. Also when they run the thoroughbred races could you not make them just run in a line if they can make those races more realistic like when they run in a pack and then it gets excited coming down the stretch, and maybe add an announcer that calls the races. That would be awesome! And maybe some cool tracks like church hill down and other tracks like that. Also if they can do a 1st person jockey view like droning the horse that would be awesome to! If you could maybe consider doing these things I think this would help the game because it will be even more realistic. Thank you this game is amazing!

the title pretty much sums it all. i agree with a lot of points Lexis318’s review has made but the grooming and feeding your horse thing is a pretty big addition. i don’t mind that this game doesn’t have the whole “taking care of your horse” mini-games. honestly it would give me too much ‘My Horse’ vibes and this game is unique in its own way! it’s much easier and faster to play in my opinion but this is a really good game to try out and got me addicted for days!
