What do you use instead?I used breedr a lot to begin with, but could tell with the amount of people they employ and amount borrowed through crowdfunding that it wasn't going to stay the same

I know it's been covered on here before but I'm looking for some management software that comes with a phone app and is simple to use.
Been using breedr and got on well with it until recently where there's been a couple of issues, one being that I was messaged today to say that the app will no longer be free as of Thursday so they've lost the edge they previously had on the competition.
What else is out there? Mainly looking for medicine records, weights and breeding info
100% recommend iLivestock.I know it's been covered on here before but I'm looking for some management software that comes with a phone app and is simple to use.

I will fully second this sentiment, I have been with farm matter for a few years and Neil is still as helpful as day one and very accommodating to make changes to the program to make it do what you want it to do.Would recommend Farm Matters.
I spoke with Neil from Farm Matters about a 6 weeks ago now, as I was disappointed with the reports and details i was getting from our Sum-it cattle data.
Neil wanted me to get the best out of my trial period and he said send us your data we can look at getting it in so I had some relevant data to work with that made sense to me.
To be fair to him/them they have worked very hard to make it happen to get the best for me, and they even took on board my comments on some features and made it happen for everyone to benefit.
So on my findings, they are much more helpful and reactive to help people get more out of the data.
Down to me now to get to grips with a different system, but so far so good.
If i'm been critical the bit they lagging behind, is on the mobile app area.
Yeah I've had a play with the Web based link.I will fully second this sentiment, I have been with farm matter for a few years and Neil is still as helpful as day one and very accommodating to make changes to the program to make it do what you want it to do.
@Matt On the app front they do have a web based one you can use through a browser on your phone and I was speaking with Niel just the other day and there is an app in the pipe line.
Yeah I would agree the web link is lacking a bit.Yeah I've had a play with the Web based link.
Just feel its bit behind the others.
I feel A good app, and with their level of support and from what I've read about others experiences with them, they would be hard to beat.
I'll have to comment in a couple of weeks to see how it's going.
I'm.glad to hear that.Yeah I would agree the web link is lacking a bit.
But every other front you won't be disappointed I know I haven't and the customer support will not be beaten.
I'm.glad to hear that.
I looked at a fair few/most of the others before deciding to.give farm matters a proper go.with our own animals for a few weeks.
I was getting fed up of our old system. Not doing what I needed, and some of it was simple stuff which took ages for them to implement.
Well if there is anything it's not doing you think it should be tell Neil he is the most genuine man I have worked with and I if the system doesn't do It already he will find a way of making it even if that's adding it into an update.
I feel I have to add this here I am not affiliated with farm matters in anyway just a happy customer that's been f**ked off by to many software providers failing to provide what they promised.
Similar boat to you.
Some of the updates in the last month was because of me telling him what I thought.
Tweaking to the polled status and herd health bloods.
Calf growth rates.
But same as you some companies yes they want to be good but they want your money more,
One company was offering me a suckler cow software, but couldn't even give me a list of the cows and their expected due dates.
And with sum it there was various things I wanted to record such as pelvis measuring, and they just said to record it as a comment against the animal, then i would have to go through each animals card to write it down on my own league table. But still want to charge you for it.
I agree completely. It almost sounds as though we are starting a Neil Fan Club!!!! Credit where it's due though.Well if there is anything it's not doing you think it should be tell Neil he is the most genuine man I have worked with and I if the system doesn't do It already he will find a way of making it even if that's adding it into an update.

Got to pay for all those free caps they were sending out. Must have four or five here on the shelf.£30 per month is a bit steep and only 2 day notice till it starts.
