Ratings and reviews

Was looking for an app to easily track some ruminants. Somehow stumbled across the $79 per year fee. They don't even include that info in the welcome email notifying you that you've started your 7 day free trial. Would be nice if they'd be honest up front, in the app! With regards to functionality, seems a little clunky to me. May get better with use, but I was looking for something a little more reasonable, so I won't try to get good at it.

Get stuck at the paywall where I have to subscribe to pro, or provide a credit card number to start a free trial, which I'd have to cancel later, without ever even getting to try the app. Not a chance I'm giving a credit card number for a free trial when I can't select the free option instead. Edit: despite the comment below, there is no option to dismiss the popup referred to. This is predatory advertising and a deceptive response. I was offered a free week via email (which I did not use)

This would be a usable app for small scale producers if there was a way to access, enter, and download information on a computer. Having to do every single thing on a phone or tablet is too cumbersome and highly inefficient. Plus, if you do treatments which aren't all the same dose you have to individually go in and do them one-by-one or the support people at Flockwatch tell you to enter it as a note on the individual animal's record which does nothing for looking up herd/flock treatments.
