Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Breeding records and management

High Demand
"This app is awesome and has less glitches than others, however, there is nothing for breeding records, which I find HIGHLY irritating! There's another app that I use for that so I'm having to use two and that app is a real pain! If this app would h"

#2: Automatic recurring calendar events

High Demand
"I cannot get any of the calendar events to repeat automatically like they should. Like medications. I have to enter them manually which makes my calendar app more useful then this one."
"Looks live a very cool app with many useful features. However, I am unable to save events to the calendar. Would love to use this feature to coordinate feeding and training!"

#3: Comprehensive breed database (especially drafts and crosses)

Medium Demand
"Can you please add more horse breeds especially for Drafts? I have a cross too so is it possible to say they're 2 breeds? Thanks"
"It's pretty sad that none of my horses' breeds are listed."

#4: User feedback mechanism

Low Demand
"I've tried several times to try to like this app but multiple problems so far, the first being no clear way to send feedback to the developers as a user."

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Free tier supporting 3-5 horses with one-time premium unlock for unlimited

32% of complaints center on aggressive paywalls. Users need multi-horse support (most have 2+ horses) but resist subscriptions. A generous free tier with affordable one-time unlock captures market share from subscription-fatigued users.

Build robust local-first data architecture with optional cloud sync

18% of reviews report catastrophic data loss, especially with cloud sync. This is a trust-killer. Local-first with opt-in sync prevents data loss and builds confidence for users managing critical horse health/breeding records.

Add comprehensive breeding module with heat cycles, bloodlines, and foaling records

Explicitly requested feature forcing users to maintain separate apps. Professional breeders represent high-value users willing to pay for complete breeding management integrated with health tracking.

Implement smart recurring tasks with templates for medications, farrier, vet visits

Calendar/scheduling is broken in competitors (non-repeating events). Horse care requires regular recurring tasks. Auto-scheduling with notifications creates sticky daily use habit and clear value proposition.

Design UI for scalability: searchable horse lists, bulk actions, professional barn management

Current apps fail at 10+ horses due to non-scrolling dropdowns and poor architecture. Targeting trainers/barn managers with 20-40+ horses is an underserved premium segment willing to pay for professional tools.
