User Reviews

Users enjoy The Herd for its simple, educational gameplay focused on breeding and managing cattle, complemented by trivia and interactive elements. However, they commonly criticize the game's limited cattle capacity, lack of feature depth such as crossbreeding and breed variety, and game design aspects like time not advancing when the app is closed. Additionally, users report technical issues like crashes, intrusive or malfunctioning ads, and loss of progress, suggesting that while the concept is praised, execution needs improvement.

Cons

Game time does not progress when the app is closed, requiring users to keep it open for waiting periods.
Limited number of cattle allowed (maximum around 12), despite having multiple pastures, restricting gameplay expansion.
Lack of variety in cattle breeds and inability to crossbreed, reducing long-term engagement and realism.

Occasional bugs including game crashes, loss of progress, inconsistent cattle stats, and issues with speeding up tasks using in-game currency.

Honestly no clue how I got so into this game. At the time I was thinking of farming (Much consideration went into it and honestly even with the land probably can't pull it off) But that's besides the point. Me and my dad got this game and like every other game we both have we competed. Pretty sure I win since he no longer has it, and my old phone still has it (I'm like 70%sure at least) Anyways, overall a really fun, simplistic game that has an educational side to it

Love the game. I like to try and breed cows up to 80 with just the starting cows. My only complaints is that you have three pastures, but can only have 12 cows? I think you should be able to have 9 or so cows per pasture. Also would be great if we could get black baldies in! Oh, and I love the trivia, I've learned a lot from it! One more thing; the ads don't work. So no annoying ads! But it also means that I can't speed stuff up with ads, and I also assume it loses you money? Not sure tho.
