Pros and cons of PocketStable app for iPhone and iPad

PocketStable app good for

I have a couple horses and find this easy and simple to use, I like how u cant enter a horse and all ita medical and Farrier, wormers and it updates u when they need them etc.... Its a neat fun little horse app! I wish there were more
The app mainly worked ok. The one issue I had was the main page photo for the app turned upside down and would not correct. I deleted and ee-downloaded the app and it was still upside down.
Useful app, worth the money, but the title screen is upside down and reversed. It doesnt affect the app at all but it is a little annoying! Otherwise it is 5 stars.

Some bad moments

This app has the potential to be good, but its several versions away from it. It takes forever to load. Seriously, your iPhone will go in to powersave mode before you get past the splash graphic. I like that I can keep all my horse information in one app, however it has absolutly ZERO interoperability with the rest of the iPhones tools or features. I already have my vet, farrier and trainers numbers in my contacts, why do I need to add all that info again? Why cant I import like I can in other apps? Why cant I take a picture of my horse and use *that* as my discription of her markings? In the weight tracking section, why cant I add a picture to that days entry? If Im tracking weight, it means Im worried about weight gain/loss, pregnancy or foal development; all cases I would want progressive images I can track. In the health history log why cant I include pictures there? If I my horse is lame, colicing or generally doing something odd wouldnt I want to directly link to a video to that entry? Same for training and lessons? Also the weight calculator is HIGHLY inaccurate. It says my warmblood mare girth 83 x length 82, weights over 1900 lbs! Which is odd since last weekend I took her to the vet and their professional walking scale says shes 1606 lbs. 20-even 100 lbs discrepancy I understand; but 300+ lbs?!? Someones math is off and I measured using the apps directions twice. Overall the app has a good inital idea, but the result falls short of achieving a 3 star rating if it were priced at .99 - $1.99 !! For $9.99 I expect all of the above, plus access to a website where I can see this info on my desktop, and be able to email my vet pictures right from the app! Save your money! With this version youre better off emailing yourself pictures with updates to organize at home.
I really like the fact that I can keep everything in one place! it took me a little bit of sorting to get all of the information for my 3 horses rounded up but now that its all entered in there I dont have to worry about it. I havent had it long enough to really get to see the weight tracking function work (its only been a few days!) but Im excited and think itll be helpful. The app is simple, super easy to use and makes sense. I looked at horse / stable care software for my desktop once and gave up when I saw how expensive it was plus Id be paying for a bunch of stuff I wouldnt need - this app does everything that I need it to do.I can keep it all with me which is more useful for me. I would definitely recommend it!
For the first time, we (I) were not frantically hauling a horse to the vet for a "gotta have it right now" coggins because ours had expired the day before and we were headed out for a show. I had set the reminder for 1 week before All of our horses (9) are now in my Pocket Stable and I feel organized as opposed to "who I have forgotten?" The neat thing is it is on my hip and I do not have to boot up my computer or remember what it was or which horse that I was going to look up when I got back in my office. Thanks!
This was a great idea and I love having my horses information all in one area! I do wish that we were able to attach pictures and have more room and variety for stuff in the health section. It was not worth $9.99 I wish I waited to get it now when it is less than half the price! But still a must have app for any horse owner especially if they have multiple horses!
I love having all my horses info in one place!! The only way it could get better is if you could put pictures with each horse
I love this program! It lets me have all my horse information that Im likely to need on the go. It only records the latest farrier, deworming, vaccinations, and float so I cant use it for my sole database. Still, its rare that I need anymore then the latest health and maintenance records when Im away from home. Id love to see a more complete database program from this company for the Mac or even the iPad, especially if it could sync with this mobile version. Plus, its a steal at under $5.
