Works great after setup

We use for everything on the farm and at work. Easier to see on desktop computer but it works great on phone too.

Pointless App

This app is basically pointless for the average residential lawn mower owner.

I downloaded it after recently having my ZTrak serviced at Van Wall because I wanted to see what work had been completed and have some useful information about my mower in one place. Unfortunately, there is virtually no information associated with my mower’s serial number. The app simply says there is no dealer associated with the mower, and it doesn’t even give me the option to select or add a dealer.

I was also hoping for basic functionality like being able to track engine hours and other equipment information. However, that apparently requires a Smart Connect device. The frustrating part is that the app doesn’t even direct you to where you can purchase or obtain one.

The account setup was also unnecessarily frustrating. I had to enter my mower’s serial number twice, and the app required me to enter an “organization” even though I’m a residential owner with no organization or business associated with the mower. There was no option to skip it, so I had to make something up just to complete the registration.

At this point, I have another app taking up space on my phone that provides essentially no useful functionality.

John Deere makes great equipment, but if you’re going to offer an equipment app, it should actually be useful to all equipment owners, not just commercial customers or those with additional connected hardware. At a minimum, residential owners should be able to see their equipment information, service history, dealer information, hours, maintenance records, and clear instructions for adding functionality such as Smart Connect.

Terrible app

This app is terrible. Tractor Plus is much better. The parts diagram is worthless. It seems intentionally confusing to get you to go to your dealer rather than maintaining or repairing your tractor yourself.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the parts diagrams have not met your expectations. We understand how important clear, easy-to-use information is when maintaining and repairing your equipment. We'd like to better understand your concerns and learn what improvements would be most helpful. Please contact our support team at 888-467-7827 or provide feedback through the Support tab that can be found on the bottom right corner of the app (version 2.0.0 or later) so we can learn more. We also recently released version 2.0.0, which includes significant enhancements to many features in the app, and we continue to improve the app based on customer feedback.

Useless for me!

Ap is worse than local dealership! That says alot! Just another reason to Never purchase overpriced green paint again! !

Farmer

It locks up when trying to select my equipment to view a parts diagram. Wasted my time entering in all of my equipment data… Just one more poorly and cheaply constructed item bringing down the once highly regarded John Deere brand…

Response from developer

We are sorry this has been your experience with Equipment Mobile. We are in the process of making this experience easier and more convenient for you. Please give the Global Support Center a call at 888-467-7827 and we can help troubleshoot this issue.

Doesn’t work good.

Very clunky, every time I put in equipment serial numbers it just disappears when I hit save. I like the idea but the app is completely useless these problems get fixed

Response from developer

This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. Please contact our Global Support Center at 888-467-7827 and we can help you troubleshoot this issue. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are working hard to make the Equipment Mobile application easier to use and more convenient for our customers.

Not convenient

Looking to order some additional accessories and there’s no features to do so on this app

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We understand the need for features like this and are actively working to expand app functionality.

Why give the link to this app?

This app does not work at all.

Response from developer

We’re sorry for the frustration, that’s definitely not the experience we want. Please contact our Global Support Center at 888-467-7827 so we can look into what’s going wrong and help get things working properly. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help.

Doesn’t work

You log into the app and input the serial number of your equipment. It saves that in the app. Then you click on view diagrams/order parts. Then you login again to the in-app web browser. Then input your serial number AGAIN, every time. What’s the point of being logged in if it doesn’t save anything to your account. You select your preferred dealer, then it changes it, every time. The people who developed this obviously have never tried to use it.

Terrible App

I can’t even add my mower. This app is cumbersome to use while the old mower plus works fine. Not sure why Deere would release this and want us to replace Mower Plus with it.

DO NOT switch from Mower Plus

This app is god awful- it was built with the commercial market in mind and not the homeowner. Keep the Mower Plus app for as long as possible.

Who tried to direct their homeowners to a commercial app with zero features??? Apparently John Deere does!

DO NOT DELETE YOUR TRACTOR PLUS OR MOWER PLUS APP

This app is not good. Mower plus and tractor plus are fine and I’m not sure what someone would gain with downloading this. I’m continuing to use the old apps until they are enough longer available or Deere fixes whatever this is supposed to be. You can’t even delete equipment you added by mistake/incorrectly. This app is unpolished and should’ve never been suggested as a replacement to the aforementioned apps.

Can’t edit or remove machine in app

Why can’t I edit or remove a machine? I entered a serial number incorrectly and can only edit the nickname?

Found out this can’t be done in the app, needs to be done on a John Deere website, equipment.deere.com
This was NOT intuitive and this solution wasn’t easy to find!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to start something in the app and have to correct or finish it on the web. Some equipment management actions, like removing a machine, are currently handled through Operations Center, and we agree this isn’t as intuitive as it should be. Your feedback helps highlight where better in‑app options are needed. We’re sharing this feedback with the team as we work on improving the experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Too much of a bother to set up an account

I have set up many accounts in the past. But in this app it seemed impossible to do that. I tried a half dozen times but could not seem to link username, email address, & password together. So I quit trying. Good luck in the future.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for letting us know about your experience. We’re sorry to hear that setting up an account was frustrating. This isn’t the experience we want for our users. If you are still having trouble, reach out to us at the John Deere Global Support Center 888-476-7827 and we’ll be happy to help get you set up quickly. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Great App But:

App was working great until the maintenance tab has bugged out, hopefully an update is happening at the moment because all devices are acting the same

Response from developer

Hi, we are very sorry that you are experiencing an issue with the maintenance tab. Please try to restart the app, and your phone. If you are still having this issue, please call the Global Support Center at 888-476-7827 and we can help get this resolved. Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback, we appreciate it!

No place to add equipment

There is no place to add equipment under my profile. I see no plus + sign like it says

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback! The option to add equipment should appear under your profile with a “+” icon. If you’re not seeing it, please make sure you’re on the latest version of the app. If the issue persists, try logging out and back in. If you still don’t see the option, please reach out to us at the John Deere Global Support Center 888-476-7827 or submit feedback within the app so we can assist you directly.

Doesn’t replace Mower Plus

I hope that John Deere doesn’t think that this app replaces Mower Plus…Because it doesn’t. This app doesn’t allow me to add maintenance tasks outside of the recommended scheduled maintenance. When I winterize my lawn tractor, I do all the maintenance tasks before the manufacturers recommended hours. I don’t have a way to track that in this app. Also can’t track my mowings. Please don’t discontinue Mower Plus for this app!
