My internet was absolutely fine, but tried with my mobile data as well to be sure and the same thing happened again. ### 1/5 — You don’t get much for free, *2024-11-19, version 8.8.48* Downloaded the app to find it’s not much use unless you pay a monthly subscription 👎 ### 1/5 — Will not connect EID reader *2024-08-02, version 8.6.23* This app will not connect to my EID reader I’ve now tried 3 different readers that Herdwatch say are compatible. I’ve also tried with my partners phone. Such a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2023-03-07* Looks like a good app, wish it would of stated costs from the get go instead of after you download and create an account. $160 a year to try an app that may or may not help me isn’t worth it **Developer response:** Dear goatherderbob 👋 thank you for your feedback. Our app has been upgraded and you can now access a free version without the need to subscribe to a paid plan. We apologise for the sub-par experience at the time you created your account. If you have any further questions or issues, please contact us on support@herdwatch.com and we will be glad to assist. Thank you 🙏 ### 1/5 — Unbelievable *2022-09-19, version 7.3* Just rang me for a “Welcome phone call” during the queens funeral! Instant delete ### 1/5 — Rubbish app. Don’t waste your time *2022-08-13, version 7.2* Saw Flockwatch advertisement in press. Tried and failed to setup an account. After half a dozen attempts gave up. ### 4/5 — Great system *2020-06-04, version 6.1.55* What a n upgrade, so much simpler to use, saves lots of time compared to the older software. Weight recording is a lot better visually, also adding medicine records far simpler. I look forward to seeing the next gen after this one as don’t know how you could make it much better. Thanks Tom ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-28* After trying CattleMax, My Farm Works, and at least a dozen other livestock management applications, this has been one of the best I’ve used. It’s powerful enough to handle detailed record keeping while still being simple and intuitive, with a much smaller learning curve than many competitors. We raise both cattle and sheep, and the software has worked well for managing both species. It strikes a great balance between robust features and ease of use, making it a tool I actually enjoy using rather than one I have to fight with. If you’re looking for livestock management software that is both capable and user-friendly, I highly recommend giving it a try. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-08-01, version 9.3.7* The app does cost a bit but has made our livestock and medicine records so much more efficient ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2025-04-02* Costumer supports is great!herdwatch really simplifies my lambing records well worth the money ### 5/5 — amazing!!!! *2024-03-20* By far the best and easiest way to keep track of my animals health records!!! Highly recommend and worth the money!!! ### 5/5 — Better than ever *2020-06-25, version 6.1.55* Herdwatch always was brilliant but this new version is better than ever. Easier to use, quicker to input serves/medicine usage/tasks. Spray records is a nice new inclusion. Been using herdwatch for the past few years and would highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Ivor Girvin *2020-06-09, version 6.1.55* Been using the new app for a few weeks now. I find it much quicker and easier to see, was having some problems but these were quickly sorted by the Herdwatch team ### 5/5 — Time Saving/Cost Saving *2020-06-04, version 6.1.55* Herdwatch NG is brilliant having moved from the original app 3 weeks ago it has improved a lot. Time saved and cost saving are top of the list so far. During Serving at the moment it is so easy to input services, see any repeats get a list of cows to look out and any issues arising saving time and money all at the touch of a button or two. Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
