User reviews

Update Failed

Since the latest update, I can no longer add animals to the program. I paid for the program about 2 years ago and now kicks me out when I try to add another animal stating I am limited to 5 animals. My whole herd is in the program. Guess I need to find a different program.

Best herd management app I know of

Very happy with this app. Works well and intuitively. I wish there was a photo option, or even better, the chance to store and date photos of the animal (birth, weaning, 1 yr, etc). All in all, well done!

Disappointing

Too slow to improve app.
Rarely replies to emails
Frustrating because it could be brilliant.
Dreadful shame that the author does not appear to be interested in improving it.

Problem

Great app but it won't let me by unlimited animals this is a serious problem. Please fix

Not very user friendly

So I have a goat farm and thought Ok this app should be close enough for info input. Under 'animals' I put in my newborns, but when you click on column for Dam or Sire you get a page with the newborns name and no way to modify said page. Then back under events and procedures done you get a medication field with many lines to 'write' on yet no prompts to allow you to do so. All in all very frustrating to use and does not share information across different devices. Disappointing!
