New features

Can’t stand this update, don’t like the landscape it throws everything off and makes the game less enjoyable. Landscape should have been optional. Please go back to the original mobile version. It difficult just to type this due to the orientation

I have to stress that the fact that the blurred banner constantly obverlays the page even when you scroll down is a massive obstruction of gameplay and navigation. I now have to scroll further down to take care of horses, but then scroll back up again(!) to navigate onto the next horse to work. It absolutely steals time and effort and hinders being able to get through the horses I need to get through.

I mean you literally made an update that makes it impossible for some players to work the divines they have spent real money on in order to get the benefits they offer.

What in the sweet shetland. My eyes are offended. My love for the game is basically obliterated. My head is actually starting to hurt. The obnoxious little bar that follows you as you scroll? who approved that, not needed. If it's not broken, don't "fix" it.
Some people have things their brain latches onto to be particular about, it's me, I'm one of them. "Fixing" things as howrse has done is short circuiting my brain. I'm still salty over the trophy mess, but this is a quit the game level offense.

I might hang around to to see if they revert it, I'll weigh up if the absolute frustration every time I log in is worth dealing with.

Seriously, why do this. I won't get the app, I much prefer desktop.

ps. I had no choice but t play from my phone last night and it is atrocious. Horrid to navigate, even more time consuming then before.

This whole "fix"

ATROCIOUS

To clarify even more; every single divine I need to compete in order to work towards their perks now has an obstructed navigational menu every time I am sent back to their page after entering a single competition. It was already tedious enough before this.

Please change the website back... this is awful and makes it almost impossible to navigate/play... did you actually test this and ask for feedback before implementing it?

It also looks cheap and tacky!

And why is everything so zoomed in

And taking away the instant navigation to the different forums is incredibly annoying, now we have to click on 'forums' and choose one... just put them all back so we can get to them directly!

15min update.. the horrible scrolling bar is giving me a migraine and I don't want to play anymore... I've managed to work 5 horses and clicked on the wrong thing about 50 times

And the massive disparity in font size is making me feel sick... why is the top bar and drop down menu writing so big compared to the rest of the webpage!!??

This is beyond horrendous... Thoughts summarised:

I only play on desktop.

1. The scroll bar is giving me a headache, making me feel sick, and blocking half of the pages making the game almost unplayable

2. The insane zoom in on the drop down menus is making me feel dizzy/sick and half of the text doesn't even fit in the boxes anymore

3. Removing easy access to the forums is ridiculous, why have I got to click through 3 links to get to anything?

4. Everything is now different sizes on the page making it incredibly hard to navigate. There's lots of random 'dead space' because the navigation drop down menu bar has been shrunk whilst the rest of the webpage has stayed the same size.

5. The events/offers buttons look cluttered with overlapping text that's actually too small! Why are the menus so big but I can't even see to work out which event I'm clicking on?

6. The new notifications are again, cluttered, and confusing to look at.

7. The whole thing frankly looks ridiculous, tacky, babyish, and cheap. It looks like a 10 year old designed it as part of a homework task whilst learning how to code...

I have absolutely no idea why you didn't test this and ask for feedback before implementing it. Ubisoft is a professional company but this is anything but professional. I have played this game for years and am now devastated that I currently can't play due to feeling sick/dizzy/getting a migraine from the insane layout.

It's awful and you've got about 6 pages of complaints now. Please undo this!

I hear you have been online for like half an hour. The flashing when you open and close tabs, when you click caring for the horse, the flashing scrolling top bar, my head is killing me... guess they ONCE AGAIN forgot to take into consideration that not all players have 20/20 vision...

Please change the graphics back this looks awful.

The landscape version is the worst. Please go back. I have a six month old baby and I play this while I hold him for his naps. I only have one hand to play on my phone. And I cannot do this while in landscape mode. So looks like this will be the end of this game for me forever. Unless it gets changed back. Please make landscape optional and bring back the original mobile version.

I agree. I play on a computer but not a fan of the new update. Too big. Too busy. Too many extra steps for the forums.

What the hel* is this new update? The layout/new look is horrendous.
I will seriously not play this game again unless they change back the design or at least give you the option to.
This update was completely unnecessary and ruins the comfort and familiarity of the game.
CHANGE IT BACK

Also adding this is a very autistic friendly game (as an autistic myself)... you are messing with the wrong audience right now in changing the design everyone knew and loved.

Yeah this update is awful... please change it back. Everything looks so off now.

Mobile gameplay is horrendous now. Pls switch it back to portrait mode.

As someone who exclusively plays on mobile, this "update" has destroyed any ability to play. I don't have all day to go through clicking everything individually and missing half the time due to sliders and small buttons. I'm not going to constantly zoom in and out just to see what I'm doing (had to zoom out just to fully see this sentence). The app offers the same experience so it too is a waste to use. Not sure what devs were thinking but I feel without the mobile version on browser, you're going to lose a lot of players.

What in the world??? This looks horrible. I only play on desktop and I thought I was womehow in the mobile version whilst on my computer! But it's not... Also there was NO email update in our message boxes warning us about this change or notifying us after the fact like the rest of the time when there are updates.

I HATE that the top bar follows me as. I scroll and blurs the background behind it. I do NOT need to see my equus/passes the entire time... I do NOT need a "back" button at the top when on desktop, there is already the browser's "back" button...

seconding EVERYTHING eveeryone else has already criticized about the new change. I do not see ANY positive comments in this thread. There was literally NOTHING wrong with the old version... This is AWFUL... PLEASE OH PLEASE PLEASE change it back!!!

This really makes me want to not play... I am an adult user and I play this game for its calming effects while I'm at work on breaks... This is NOT calming... I agree with the motion sickness/migraine stuff other people have mentioned. I did not notice immediately but after using the site for more than a few minutes... uh BIG TIME LITERAL EYESORE... and I have not even done my regular daily tasks that I usually do upon my morning log-in../

I will NOT download the app or play on mobie verison. I will only use the web version... I have been playing this game since I was 12. And I am now almost 30... And this is seriously the WORST update ever in all those years...

Many thumbs down...

PLEASE change it back

I also REALLY HATE the "today" bar... I do NOT want to see that little red dot notification all the time nor have another item on the menu that makes it look urgent... It was great were it used to be
Again... PLEASE Change it back...

i havent seen a single positive thing said about the update on the app, and its getting horrid reviews from people all over my howrse facebook groups. And honestly, i hate it too. Typing is very difficult in landscape and you cannot change the screen back to vertical. working horses s much harder and takes much more time because the buttons are too small for accurate finger tapping when selecting riding/training times and feed amounts. Before this update, you could choose bewteen this mode and the default, why take our choice away and give us something no one asked for? i literally had to get on a computer with a keyboard to type this out instead of through the app, please bring back the old default

I do Not like this update. It's confusing and I'm still trying to find where things are at.

This ortrait is the worst!! I cant even tye roroy because some of my keyboard is cut off! At east give the otion to choose between ortrait or andscae because this game on mobie is unayabe for me now Im unabe to lay on comuter because i dont have one . I have no access to the deete button nor two other buttons because of it... Howrse is definatey going down hi with this u date ... Lease fix it

If I hadn't put so much real life money into this game, this new ulmobile update would make me quit! This is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessarily difficult to navigate. I despise landscape mode and the forced use is rude, to say the least.
