Nice

Works great

Glitch Fixed in Latest Update

This App is constantly changing. The calf ages recently changed from being noted in days to now being noted in months. This has happened before and they corrected it back to days but this time it’s evidently staying in months. This is less useful info and requires extra work to figure how many days old the calves are.

Update: The developers fixed this problem within days of posting this review.

Response from developer

Hi there, This was a mistake and has been corrected in the latest update

Great love it recommend it

I’ve been using this app since the beginning of last year. I love how I can have pictures of our cattle pop up once the tag is clicked on. It is also the first app I can add as many cows as I want on the app and their treatments.

Glitchy

A big update shutdown the app for two days. Since update the adding notes the entire interface bounces and you can not read your notes. They are quick to respond to concerns but nothing gets fixed and your don’t hear back from them. The app also in very restrictive in the information that can be entered. Not worth the money unless you run a two cow operation.

Response from developer

Hi there, i'm sorry you are frustrated with the wait. Like I said in the email I sent you, our development team is currently working on this. Due to it being difficult to recreate this bug on our end, it's taking longer than expected. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. As far as the app being restrictive, This app is primarily targeting cow/calf operations. While it can work for other types of operations, they are not our primary target as of right now. Feel free to reach out to us for suggestions to improve the app

Missing Several Key Features

- Does not allow selection of different color tags

- Cannot easily see what cattle you have where (different cattle at different farms)

- Does not allow for multi breed species and percentage of what breed

- Missing simple dashboard where you can see an overview of everything

Very simple interface and easy to use/navigate but missing several very simple features that could be easily added.

Great app continues to improve

Been using for a couple of years. It can be a little buggy but that is improving. Love the web interface ! It’s well worth the monthly charge. I wish the sale of calves were more intuitive and that the calves detailed info would show under the sales tab rather than just amount and date. Would love to see sales /weight of calves by dam as it would help grade the dam.

No customer service

Not that impressed. There’s a few different things when tracking my herd that I wish was on there. Biggest disappointment was the fact that I emailed them multiple times about switching to the custom plan to add in what I would like and they never contacted me back.

Need more options with preg checks etc

Would like more editing ability with having and preg check notes. Also, when preg chk confirms “open”, days to calving should adjust, but it does not. It seems to only be based on the day the bull was introduced.

Awesome app tho!

Good but needs little more….

Good app but needs something, like a tag color setting and sale/death record would be nice.

Great

There need to be a function where you can turn a calf record to a cow record instead of deleting calf and making a new cow.
