### 3/5 — automaticaly closed

*2024-08-26, version 4.2.2*

when checking tag number automaticaly closed.app on my i pad

### 3/5 — Improvements

*2022-10-27, version 3.39.0*

App needs an option to enter multiple calvings or (bulk cow numbers), recording details one at a time is tedious, (for people that do parentage DNA and dont need to record calves to dams)
When recording data such as health events or calvings it takes too long to transfer to holding pen, need to sync alot to get the details over there and it takes a while. It should be instant.
If your giving doses and havent approved the previous dose then you cant approve it, this is a waste of time, it shouldnt matter, treatment has been given regardless so you should be able to have all treatments that are given to the cow stacked up and ready to send altogether if thats what you prefer.
These couple of things will improve the app vastly

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2021-08-02, version 3.32.2*

App crashes in the milk withholding tab in the health section. Frustrating.

### 4/5 — Group for finding a cow

*2019-10-10, version 3.18.1*

Hi Great to see group creation in the app tnx. Any chance to make a group say you are looking for 20 animals in a herd of 400 cows. Using the wand and app it will flash or beep once the animal been found. This will be a big help for non pro track farms.

### 3/5 — iPad support

*2019-08-08, version 3.17.0*

Any plans to adapt this app to iPad I think there will a lot of more option with a bigger screen

### 3/5 — Awful preg testing

*2019-01-27, version 3.8.3*

Can’t enter fetal count in pregnancy testing.

### 1/5 — Pointless App

*2018-08-08, version 2.6*

What is the point of this app if it doesn’t have all the features of MINDA live or Minda Pro. If I want to enter a calving, bull, sold, I can not do it on the app. If I have to write ones down with this fate I may as well write them all down and enter at a later time on live or pro. As it is it’s just a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2016-07-15, version 1.17*

So many times I have opened the app to view my current pasture covers and it won't allow me access the pastures section. How can I use a management tool that doesn't work? We have done a farm walk that I can't access- do I have to manually record it on paper as a backup as well?? Also the lookup app glitches when you first open it and won't allow you to write in a number, or deletes the first number of a cow you are looking up. The biggest management tool this app could possibly have is the ability to synch basic and custom groups across staff smartphones, and it still doesn't have it?? Cmon guys.

### 1/5 — Updated app, now it's worse

*2016-02-22, version 1.15*

Just updated my app and in the 'what's new' it said it prevents crashing on start up ?? Before I updated I never crashed on start up, but now I've updated can look up 1 cow and her data, go back to enter a new cow and it throws me off the app and back to home screen! Had no issues before but now I do. Very frustrating as I use this app almost every day and now just had herd test done I would love that info whilst milking to find culls etc.

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2016-02-11, version 1.14*

My Minda app updated on the 10/2/16 it now takes ages to 'open' but then goes back to iPhone home screen is open in the background but when I go into it it's just frozen can't do anything. Use the app almost daily for pasture and look up and it's a pain now that it's not working!!!!
