Please add the option to switc back to classic on browser.

Nothing has been an improvement in terms of navigation, I dont like the sticky title bar, it's of no use and gets in the way when scrolling down. Having had everything set upo to play perfectly on 75% zoom, everything is out of proportion. If I wanted to play the mobile version I would, I dont like it so I played classic as I have done for the 20 odd years I've had an account here and on Inter.

There are plenty of helpful gameplay adjustments that could be made over this change which I don't feel has actually bought anything to the game, rather it has detracted from an enjoyable gameplay ecperience for me.

I second the request to have the option to use the original/classic version on a browser. Even if I need to access Howrse on a device (rarely) I always use the web version over the mobile version.

I also have issues with sticky title bar, all it's achieving is taking up valuable page space. The only thing on it that might be useful to have constantly visible is the notifications bell and possibly the inbox, the rest I don't need to see all the time, and it took less than a second to page up or hit the home button if I did want to see the info or access the links. Plus I was seeing that bar at the top every single time I went to a new page in the course of normal gameplay anyway so I'd never missed a notification or message for longer than a couple of minutes.



Other things I've grumbled at almost instantly:

It took me a while to find where the help link has gone (it's now in the profile menu).

I now have to navigate to the main forums page to get to Events/Gameplay when before I could just use the community menu and get here in a single click.



I do appreciate that the menus are much clearer to read, but I'm still waiting patiently for an improvement to the contrast of the unclickable affixes in breeding farm view so I can read them more easily.

I also assume that the Ascent link will return when the new season starts, will it return under the same menu?

Ignore my last question just realised I'd missed that part. I would prefer it back in the breeding farm menu so it doesn't get lost in the offers, but I'm guessing that won't be an option.

Absolutely pointless and not an improvement in my opinion.
I play the classical version because I didn’t like the app, now it’s so similar it makes it look like a cheap app.
I keep pressing the today button, the scrolling menu gets in the way and the navigation is more clicks for forums.
There are much better improvements that could have been implemented which would have made gameplay better

Agreeing with the above comments regarding the sticky title bar more than anything, having also set up my game a similar way to streamline certain aspects of gameplay. I play exclusively on browser and, up until now, classic version since starting in 2012. An option to play on true classic would solve a lot of the issues players like myself are having now.

These changes don't seem to be offering much improvement to quality of life, merely a visual change that I feel many players have gripes with.

This update has made the game unplayable for me. I’m using the desktop site on a laptop and the clear bar at the top staying still while I scroll and everything else below and underneath it moving is giving me major motion sickness. I can’t use the game for more than a few minutes at a time without feeling nauseous. I’ve never had this problem before.

It feels like design changes are being made just for the sake of being able to say the site is being updated and “improved”. I’m tired of having to click more to get to specific pages because Howrse is insistent on condensing the drop down menus (defeating the entire point of drop down menus). I’m tired of having to scroll further and click more because redesigned pages are inflating font and icon sizes to fill space (e.g. trophies and rankings). I’m tired of looking at gaudy blue and pink pages and clashing, inconsistent designs across the game. The traditional, soft yellow is Howrse’s signature look and is much easier on the eyes. It oozes nostalgia and warmth. You’re losing your brand identity with each update and making the game less accessible as well as more difficult/time-consuming to navigate.

Merging the mobile and desktop designs/layouts is never going to work. The entire point of having separate desktop and mobile sites is that they’re optimised for their respective devices. What works on one does not work on the other.

I don’t know if I will be able to play anymore unless the update is reversed. This is the first time a website has ever given me motion sickness. It’s really messing with my eyes.

It is a sensory assault on the eyeballs. Even turning down my laptop brightness hasnt offset it much.

I don’t usually post anything on here, but this has to be one of the worst updates in the last decade.
I am a mobile browser player when I want to quickly and conveniently do specific daily tasks, usually within my short breaks at work. If I want to spend longer on the game, I use the web version on my laptop but only when I have the time.
Now everything on the mobile browser version is tiny and easily misclicked, even if I turn my phone landscape as intended. What’s the point of all this if I have to zoom in on every page anyway? Even just getting back to this forum post involved too many clicks, messing around with menus, and plenty of squinting.
The old version was functional, playable, and generally easy to use and navigate.
Never even asked for this. Disappointed. My eyes are tired

The update has been an absolute disaster on my phone trying to use the mobile version. I have images over text, links are the good old blue and purple text, all my notifications have alerts but there's nothing there and I can't see my equus amounts.

I'm not sure how updating the online app ruined the mobile Web version! But please fix it! It's giving 1990s MySpace!

Also, just tried logging in on the app and the UK servers don't even exist? What??

The old URL does not exist anymore. The new URL is the same but without the "m".

If you clear your browser and reinstall it, it should work.

I use my mobile and have always accessed via browser as I have previously found password and login issues with app. I found it previously very easy to use and prefer my phone in portrait view rather than landscape so this update I am finding rather off putting.
