Really? Was free, now big charges!

I’ve used this app, and like it. Now it’s charging a big, not small fee to do basic stuff.
Have ag companies pay for it like 99% of other apps do.
I’m embarrassed that this grassroots founder is sticking it to us like ag companies been doing to us for years. Bait us in and take the money out of our hand. Sad.

Really not worth $360...

The data supplied for $360/yr is attainable other places...in a day when Value matters don’t waste your time but if you have money to burn spend the $1200/year...I’ve had the app for 3yrs but in three years I would not have spent $1080 for this data...it just isn’t providing that value

Please make it good again

Used to love this to track everything. I don’t mind the $99 a month BUT app constantly freezes up and the crop help image resolution is horrible compared to the old one. They are concentrating too much on crop marketing and not enough on the good product they had!

Back to using a notebook and a pencil

I only use this app on my mobile device. I have had this app far a long time and I have even had phone calls and emails with someone in the past to give you some suggestions. I only used this app to see when I planted and check the rain and heat totals. I really don’t use the rest of it. I guess I will have to go back to using a notebook and a pencil to keep track of things.

Found this handy but!

I found this app handy but have had many issues last year with data not showing up after entering it. By the time I realized it wasn’t there I couldn’t remember what it was! And now they want to charge $30 a month to be able to do even the simplest records which to me is way to much. Sorry to say I guess I am done with this app.

Love the app, however too expensive for features

Edit: I now cannot say I will continue using this app, apparently it is $30 a month just to be able to map fields. I logged in today to adjust the size of some of my feels that I have lost and gained and now I cannot even edit field size without paying. It had the possibility of being a good app, but $30 a month is outrageous.

I love the app in its free form, the ability to log field records and check in with rain totals all in one place is very handy for me. I would like to see an option to view and manage your storage options for the mobile devices, as I don’t have a computer having to switch back and forth when adding different storage and just to see my overall storage is cumbersome. I do think however that the services that are offered in the premium packages are extremely overpriced. $1200 a year just for satellite imagery and price tracking, when both of those features can be found online for free? I would buy the premium extras if the app were cheaper and even if it had advertisements would be a fair trade. Also wanted to report a bug with iPad usage, whenever you try to update the date of an activity the app just crashes. Has been happening for over a month now. In short, great app that does have issues but definitely needs price reduced to feel even remotely purchasable.

Response from developer

Hi henrycountyfarmer, thanks for your thoughts. We want to let you know there is a free version of FarmLogs still called FarmLogs Lite where you can map fields and access all the information you've entered in the past. If this isn't what you're experiencing, then we'd like to help with that, as well as the iPad bug you mentioned. Can you please email us at support@farmlogs.com?

Bring back the old one!!

I much preferred the older version. My use is mainly for rainfall amounts and the newer versions don’t always give me a 24 hour rainfall amount. Telling me the rainfall between ‘3pm-4pm’ fails to tell me rain amount at 8am and there is no way to find that information

Exasperating! Keeps losing my data!!

I’ve enjoyed this app for the last few years, always thought it was great, until this year when it kept losing my data. After inputting dates this spring of tilling, fertilizers, chemicals, and planting, I was ready to report to USDA and Crop Insurance and half of my planting dates were gone. So I estimated on the spot of these other fields. Enjoyed seeing the rainfall totals this summer. Recorded harvest dates. Was ready to report harvest dates and found all my data was wiped out!! Planting dates, harvest dates, everything, gone!! Only item still intact was one field tilled in March plus previous years. How could this happen?!? Goodbye FarmLogs. We’re done with you. Pen and paper, still the most reliable.

We're so sorry to hear about this! If you can, please reach out to us at support@farmlogs.com so that we can investigate and solve this trouble. It's very unlikely that your data is gone and we would love the opportunity to work with you again. We look forward to hearing from you!"

Update slow or often wrong

I have stood in the rain on one or more lots and program never updates. Or amount is less than my rain gauge on property. Was more accurate 5 Updates ago.
When I do get Update it’s usually 24-48 hrs later.

App works as advertised!!

I downloaded this App to effectively fertilize and spray my crop fields without a GPS unit. I was a little reluctant given some of the reviews but noticed every time some had a issue the App Developer addressed the issue. After using it in both applications, fertilizing and spraying, I can honestly say it worked to perfection with me. Will definitely continue to use!
