Pocket Stables

This is one of my favorite games. I go back and restart it all the time to try and beat my last run through. Though there’s a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, it’s so much fun once you get the hang of it. Will always have on my phone.

I only download in this game probably about five hours ago but I have been playing nonstop. I can’t put it down. It’s fairly easy to get from the beginning pretty self-explanatory. And the race is where you come from very last end when your neck exhilarating. Always keeping me on my toes. The only thing is I can’t figure out how to tell which sex the horses is and I can’t breed it because I don’t have two matching pairs which I don’t understand what that means. I wish that they would explain that a little bit more. but other than that love the game, keep it up.

We need a pocket stables 2 please!!! I love this game and would love a sequel!

I’ve played this game for about 6 years and it’s never gotten boring. The diversity of horses and races makes the game addicting. Everything about it is detailed even though it’s pixelated in older graphics. Either way this game is legendary!

One of the worst game made by this company, give me back my money please. You can tell this game is only 180MB only, I’m still an big fan of you but this game was definitely one of the worst game they made so far.

Thanks!

I don’t even like horse racing and this app is amazing, just on the managing side. To the guy who said there are no mares, there are. This game is fun regardless of if you like horses

If you do your research and scour the internet (or the App Store Page) for reviews on this game, you’ll see that most of the reviews label the game as hard. That’s a complete lie. This game isn’t hard... it’s slow. None of the Kairosoft games are hard. You can’t “lose” in these games. You just earn far less than you spend in this one. Structures cost upwards of a hundred dollars and you only earn 100 or 200 IF you win a race... and sometimes you won’t. The given allowance is spent quickly on new horses and training structures. It’s not reliable unless you’re content with saving a lot (of money). Maintenance costs about 100+ early game and it’s a constant cycle, so if you don’t win at least once before the next cycle, you’ll be in the negatives. In addition, items cost upwards of 100 as well. Prices rise the more items you buy. And of course there’s the obvious concern: horse lifespans. A horse is done by year four. Their stats decrease so they’ll lose the race — and if you don’t make first place, you get less than $100. Races can’t be scheduled rapidly either. So you don’t get paid rapidly — only in $100 chunks once per month. People coming to your ranch spend about $10-20 and only come when you’ve won — if you lose your streak, you lose your only source of constant income. Selling a horse gives you about $1000. But then you spend that $1000 on another horse. Therefore, in order to progress, you must manage your funds carefully— meaning months or even years without spending anything on any major progression. The secondary currency, coins, can’t be spent often since you have to discover an upgrade before buying it. Races are fun but become mediocre after hours of them. Even when you win. Since horses are temporary and you don’t unlock breeding until late game, you have to level up your horse faster than the previous one or you’ll just be stuck. You’ll have hit a wall. The three stars I rate here are basically fueled by my love of horses and the sales price of $0.99, which were barely enough to keep me interested. No wonder the $0.99 sale has stayed past December (winter sales). I was drawn in by that sale. But don’t be fooled — unless you like progressing at a crawl or you love horses enough to be okay with many, many races before you progress.

I love Kairosoft, and have maybe eight of their other games, and this one doesn’t really even compare to the others it’s so bad. It’s extremely simplistic and moves very slowly, after a few hours I’m ready to give up on it. Seriously it’s like they gave this project to an intern to manage.

By far, the best horse racing game out there. Been playing for years, and I keep coming back to it! Great game!
