Needs regular updates but a good start for a livestock app
This app has plenty of potential for creating an awesome record keeping database. There are a few things I’d like to see in an update, such as:
- Ability to add multiple animals at once with the same data. I don’t want to have to individually add 15 entries that are all goats, all female and all Myotonic and have to change that on all of the entries
- More log entry options. I’d love a customizable entry, where I can change the name to its own genre
- Most recent logs. A space on the app where I can view all of my recent logs to make sure I didn’t miss any of the animals.
- Ability to add entries to multiple animals at a time. Sometimes I vaccinate a whole group of animals. It’s hard to go through and individually add each vaccination to each animal.
- Syncing across devices. I use this app on my iPhone and my iPad and it doesn’t update my changes between devices. Meaning if I want current records on both, I have to manually edit them individually.
Overall, I’m very excited to have something to use for record keeping on my mobile device!

A great App but can I save or print data?
This is exactly what I need for my small farm but haven’t figured out if I can print or save data. If my iPad dies do I lose all records?
Apps not working right
I’ve had this app for about a month and it was working great but I tried to add some new animals to it and it wouldn’t save or show what I was writing
Response from developer
I’m sorry to hear that. Check to see if it was a problem related to dark mode being on.
Mostly satisfied
So far I believe this app will be able to help me keep track of what I am wanting. It would be nice if you could change the tabs/images or rearrange them as I have pigs too. And with how this is currently set up I would have to tittle them as either cattle or something if I want to just look at them or just look at the chickens, etc. and not look at everything at once.
Maybe an idea for an update? :)

That is a good suggestion. One tip for you - you can categorize the pigs as “other” and that will allow you to filter to some degree by those animals that don’t otherwise have a specific category.
So close
This is a great idea but i was unable to figure out how to make it work. It wouldn’t let me add details or delete and animal. I so wanted this to work😓
Response from developer
Feel free to reach out to me by email. If you swipe left on an animal, you’ll get an option to delete.
Great app
This is a pretty great app. It is easy to use and helps seeing a list and having it on hand.
The ONLY thing I feel it should be able to do is share information with others working on the farm or send information to the vet when needed.

Thank you for your feedback!
Perfect record keeper
I love this app. I have 2 goats and this helps me see at a glance everything they have had done and what they need next. Thank you for making this so easy to use and not cluttered. It has just what I need.
Response from developer
I’m so glad to hear that! I’m hoping to make a few refinements soon! . Feel free to check out my other apps: https://www.labradoorsoftware.com
Excellent App for Quick Records!
I have a small homestead, but have plenty of animals on it, from tall to small. This app is both simple and well organized. I can look up my animals quickly and have access to their medical records. The developer was quick to respond to questions and suggestions.
Overall, I’m very excited to have this app in my homestead tool box!

Fun Farming
This is a great app for the well established farmer, to a kid getting ahold of nature’s creatures. Also, can imagine a veterinarian using it to monitor their furry patients. Good job well done!
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback!! I hope you continue to find it useful. I just created an update to fix a couple bugs.
Easy to use
I just started using this app for our small goat farm. So far I’m really liking it and find it easy to use.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! I hope Homesteader Helper will help you keep your goats healthy and happy!
Great free animal tracker
This might take a few minutes to initially figure out, but it’s actually straight forward and easy to use. I only have a few cattle and goat but I think this will help especially as I start to expand and trade. Thanks for not charging.
Response from developer
Thank you very much sir!
