ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

John Deere Connect Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Climate FieldView™ has 169 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Climate FieldView™'s written reviews are positive against 33% of John Deere Connect Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
