Lancaster Farming holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lancaster Farming has 88 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Farm Progress's written reviews are positive against 67% of Lancaster Farming's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Farm Progress ships an update every 2 months, Lancaster Farming every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
