Key takeaways for TestPro USEA and USEF Eventing
Where is it heading?
The equestrian training market is consolidating around tools that provide real-time accuracy, and TestPro's current maintenance-mode posture leaves it exposed to churn. The lack of timely test updates directly undermines the app's core value proposition, which will continue to compress the user base through Q1.
- Users report: Deceptive billing complaints in reviews erode user trust, leading to a 3.6-star rating that discourages new competitive riders from downloading.
- Outdated test content in the latest version causes immediate churn among riders preparing for current competitive seasons.
The SWOT
- Official licensing of USEA and USEF eventing tests functions as a distribution barrier against non-official competitors
- Integrating wearable connectivity could provide a differentiator for riders practicing in the field

Read the full takeSince the last report: The product remains in a maintenance-mode state with no feature or pricing changes, but the PM has re-prioritized the roadmap to address billing transparency and content-update reliability.
Bottom line
TestPro provides essential utility through official test licensing, but its current billing friction and content update delays alienate the core competitive user base, so the PM must prioritize billing transparency and update reliability to stabilize the 3.6-star rating.
