Ratings and reviews

Not bad, but did they really forget to put a scale bar on a map? If you've already got your farm set, it's fine to just manage everything, but if you're trying to plan a new field and you want it to be say 100 yards by 100 yards square for irrigation purposes, you can't really plan out a hundred yards square unless you already know exactly 100 yards on your land. It's a map, regardless, it should have a scale bar. Maps have scale bars.

You spend 40 min setting up your parameters until it tells you you need to up upgrade. I looked everywhere before starting to try to get an idea about pricing. Just put it somewhere I can see it before I waste my time. Now I'm just irritated and won't pay out of principal. $14/mo basic. $34mo Plus $60/mo Pro. Plus is most popular. Not for me.

Super easy to setup farm maps and use features. Subfields were just added and are needed feature, though using them is not quite as clear as other features. Developers responded to issues quickly. I hope the grazing features keep developing to get closer to other apps. Yet, this is one of the few that cover both farm operations and grazing, as well as livestock management.
