The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezes, and lag that hinder gameplay. Many players experience issues such as unresponsive controls, screen freezes, and crashes, particularly during races and interactions with characters.

“Honestly, the game isn't bad in theory, but I'd rather go back to Starstable. The controls have made it impossible for me to even get through most of the races because it glitches out and pulls my horse either left or right exactly when it hits go (even tested it with my hands completely off the phone).”
“It's always been a little glitchy, but now it's to the point that I can't finish races because the camera glitches and stops following the horse.”
“I get into the game - immediately freezes - I move the joystick - character runs and freezes - so buggy and laggy!”
