HorseDex has spent its whole life so far in the hands of a small number of horse owners
who put it on their own phones, for their own horses, every day — and then told me what
was wrong with it. Everything below is in their words, exactly as they wrote them.

My sister, who kept a health journal for her horse by hand every single day long before
there was an app to do it in. HorseDex exists because she was already doing the work; the
app is just the notebook, made lighter.
She has been using it daily since the first build that ran at all, through every version
that crashed, lost a day or put a number in the wrong place. Nearly every field in HorseDex
is there because she asked for it, and several of the things it deliberately refuses to do
are refused because she said no.
This app is an adhd equestrian's dream. From reminders about everything from vets,
physio, farrier ( iykyk ) etc, to being able to plan your week in as much detail or as
little as you need, to being able to record anything and everything that's been happening
with your horses is absolute godsend. You can also personalise the things you're tracking
as much as you want - so you're not overwhelmed by choices you don't need. ♾️/10

I LOVE how intuitive and flexible HorseDex is. I can choose to track exactly what
matters to my mare without cluttering the app with the things I don't need. It lets me set
reminders for appointments and share whole entry logs with vets or physio if needed.
Seriously, it makes keeping an accurate history so easy!
I've had the privilege to be testing the HorseDex app and I am so impressed! As someone
who is extremely forgetful and has two horses, I was constantly forgetting what happened
each day with which horse- I now have an app whereby it's easy to track absolutely
everything. It's completely solved a real life problem for me. I'm so impressed that I can
even use the app on my iPad which syncs with my phone. Highly recommend for any horse
owner.
The testing group is private, and being named on a website is a thing each person gets
to choose rather than something that happens to them for filing a bug report. Several people
have sent screenshots, reproduced faults, sat through builds that would not open, and are
not listed here because they would rather not be.
The thanks is the same either way, and so is the effect on the app: what shipped in each
build, and which of these reports it came from, is on the
updates page.
