Hi there! I understand that when you try to open the Horse Riding Tales app on your Mac (OS X 10.15.6), it immediately kicks you back to the home screen. That definitely makes it impossible to play, so let's work through this together.

To start, could you tell me if this happens every time you open the app or just occasionally? Also, have you recently updated the app or your OS, or made any changes to your Mac before this started happening?

In the meantime, here are some steps we can try to get things working:

1. Force Quit and Restart the App
- Click the Apple menu and select "Force Quit."
- Choose Horse Riding Tales if it's listed, then click "Force Quit."
- Try reopening the app.

2. Restart Your Mac
- Sometimes a simple reboot can clear temporary issues. Click the Apple menu and choose "Restart."

3. Check for Updates
- Open the App Store and click on "Updates." If there is an update available for Horse Riding Tales, please install it.

4. Clear App Cache (if applicable)
- Sometimes corrupted data causes crashes. Unfortunately, on macOS, app cache can be deeper in Library folders. If you're comfortable:
- Open Finder and hold the Option key, then click "Go" > "Library."
- Navigate to Containers or Application Support and look for folders related to Horse Riding Tales.
- Back up and then delete those folders to reset app data, but note this might remove saved progress.

5. Check Permissions
- Sometimes the app doesn't have needed permissions. Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab. Review what permissions the app has and enable it if needed.

6. Reinstall the App
- If nothing else works, try uninstalling the app completely and downloading it again from the official source.

If these steps don’t solve the problem, it might be related to app compatibility or a bug. I noticed some users mentioning issues with game crashes immediately after loading, potentially linked to recent updates or DLCs1. If you have installed any recent add-ons, removing them might help.

Could you let me know which of these steps you’ve tried already or if you need guidance on any? We’ll get to the bottom of this!

Whenever I press the app it kicks me off back onto my iPad home screec

Thanks for clarifying that the Horse Riding Tales app crashes on your iPad, kicking you back to the home screen. That helps a lot! I know this can interrupt your gameplay, so let's find a way to fix it.

Here’s a step-by-step approach tailored for your iPad:

1. Restart Your iPad
- Hold the power button and either volume button until the slider appears. Slide to power off, wait a moment, then turn it back on. This often clears temporary glitches.

2. Check for App Updates
- Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, scroll to updates, and see if Horse Riding Tales has an update available. Installing any update can fix bugs causing crashes.

3. Update iPadOS
- Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, install it. Some apps require the latest OS version to work well. One user mentioned needing to update the iPad to get the game working again1.

4. Clear App Data by Reinstalling
- Tap and hold the app icon, then choose "Delete App." Re-download it from the App Store. This resets the app and can fix corrupted files. Keep in mind this may erase saved data unless you have it backed up.

5. Check Storage Space
- Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage. If space is low, free up some storage because this can cause apps to crash.

6. Disable Background Apps
- Double-click the Home button (or swipe up and hold on newer iPads) and swipe up any apps running in the background that you’re not using. This frees up memory to help the game run smoother.

If after these steps the app still crashes immediately, this might be a known bug affecting some iPads, especially with certain DLCs or updates3. In that case, waiting for a patch or contacting the developers at [email protected] could be the best route.

Could you try these and let me know where you get to or if you need help with any specific step? I’m here to help you get back in the saddle! Are you satisfied with the solution I provided?
