The game's story progression is criticized for becoming frustratingly slow after level 11, with players struggling to accumulate enough in-game currency to complete quests and purchase necessary buildings. Many users express dissatisfaction with the high costs of items and the low rewards from quests, leading to repetitive gameplay and a sense of being stuck. While the quest system has potential, players feel it needs better balance and clearer instructions to enhance the overall experience.
- “I love the quests and the fact that I can breed to get different horses, but it would be better if you were able to get more rubies and if some things cost less coins and rubies.”
- “If the quest rewards were more realistic compared with upgrades and building costs, it would be a great game.”
- “It is really good; I will give you 5 stars if you add unicorns or pegasus, and it would be fun if you could have cats or dogs wander around your ranch that are strays. If you fulfill their quest, they will stay at your ranch forever. Please add these!”
- “I'm barely caught up on 'main story quests' and I can't keep up - have all of $22 in-game cash and need $2500.”
- “Plus the quests are repetitive and a little boring.”
- “Not being able to do missions because I have 3k not 300k is very frustrating and makes me not play the game for days sometimes out of frustration.”

- “It is a free game, so I don't mind in-app purchases, but you quickly lose interest and momentum because progress is frustratingly slow.”

- “I love it; it doesn't glitch and has no ads.”
- “It is a free game, so I don't mind in-app purchases, but you quickly lose interest and momentum because progress is soooo frustratingly slow.”
