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.
Reviews for fieldmargin: manage your farm
← Back to fieldmargin: manage your farmLove Field Margin , have used it for 3 years and has been great for planning jobs. length of new fence or water system , we did 12 km of pipe and fittings knowing where all the joins would be , simplified trough and isolation taps.Fantastic for field spray jobs. Put in a job name, pick paddocks, put in water rate, each chem and rate from inputs list save and the job buy list in reporting. As paddocks are done they are ticked off till job completed.

Great app which has been happily picked up by our estate team including some more technophobic colleagues. Great interface. Friendly, responsive developers. Task planning is fun, overlaying uploaded maps is very useful. GPS functionality patchy (drawing areas by walking shows promise but doesn't work well) - this is more down to relying on phone GPS. Desktop satellite map images are out of date which is a frustration when planning work in the office. Really enjoyable, huge potential.
Been using the middle tier verion of fieldmargin for four months now. Seems to work well on both samsung phone and ipad. Really practical functions but still simple to use and edit info and to view paddock history. I haven't used gps for mapping or yield maps so can't comment on that. Looking forward to the livestock side of things to be implemented- will make app better again if able to have cropping and livestock records in one place. Staff have been helpful and promp with and issues I've had.
What a excellent idea for user friendly software on my farm. Already using a bit and doing a trial with one of my managers to see how we can incorporate this software into the farm. Having our weekly meeting today and think well try and do most of our planning on it to see how it goes. I have a few extra ideas that I would like to add on it aswell.
Easy to use with great functionality for any small to large farm. A must have to inprove team work and operations. Definitely worth while to build up and establish historical data to keep track of all moving parts, labour, inputs and yelds.
FieldMargin has been a game changer for our farm. Since I have been using it, I have added my crop consultant, and it is easy for him to follow what I have going on. But if you are looking for a good farm management app to get organized and cut out keeping up with paperwork. Try this app out it won't disappoint
I'm managing 57 aquaculture ponds and even though this app isn't designed for aquaculture it's made keeping track of what is happening in each pond vastly easier. Very easy to use. They also have real people to chat with and answer questions regarding the app.
Beautiful app. Improve our task scheduling for our farm and keeps the records for future reference
Yeh look it's a good app, but I think it would help if you updated your satellite images every year or so. The other day I was trying to look for my boundary fence in a bunch of scrub and forest, which we made last year and couldn't find it. This was because of the images which were taken a few years earlier, so i could not mark the boundary. Other than that a great app
After taking over a very run down property, with no maps/info from previous owner, this app has been a godsend. Walking fences and dropping notes at posts made mapping paddocks easy. The ability to mark a spot where you need to do some work, so that you and your other workers can find it easily, is a great time saver. We are using the essentials plan, which serves us well in a grazing situation and is very reasonably priced. Service from the app staff has been very good and prompt.
Field margin has been very helpful where I am able to map out fields, describe what they are used for, create a "to-do" list for each field so that I dont forget which includes setting deadlines and notifications via the app. It helps a lot that I can save "history" onto my fields to compare annually. I use it for forestry. There are many more features, but all in all I am very pleased and the service is great.
Got this app as a farmhand trying to learn the fields. I Have the free version. So far very handy. Would like a check list option in the tasks so you could gather supplies for taskes, and being able to enter specific animals and treatments would be nice.
brilliant app. brilliant customer service even though I badgered them with questions they professionally answered them all. loads of features to make the app work for our farm.
We're an infrastructure heavy livestock operation - lots of permanent fence, water, etc. Field margin is a jack of all trades without leaving you feeling like it's exceptionally lacking in one area. The app allows me to plot jobs and explanations on the map so that if I'm pulled away from the farm, my staff know where to go and what to do without my presence. Having all my paddock acreage numbers at my finger tips makes supplemental seeding simple. It makes tracking paddock rest days easy.
Worked well until I had loaded all my information and then to access my notes I have to upgrade as access to my notes is locked. This is my IP and locking the information that I have loaded into the app is no better than blackmail ransom. I asked how to export my info and I was ignored, but was bombarded with requests to write a review. As pensioners, we are unable to afford the "upgrade" monthly fees or I wouldn't have downloaded "free". I will be deleting my account. Can't post 0 stars.
Very nice and easy to use. Ads, are, necessary, at least for the free version, ah well, they aren't too bad. So far I am impressed with Fieldmargin, but I haven't tried any others, still, it is very helpful. I only wish there was a ( Really CHEAP) version for hobby farm homestead types like myself who don't have any spare cash, and don't actually make money -- yet anyway, and likely never will, but who would still like a less expensive way to get and keep everything organized. So it's nice.
If you've ever wanted a farm management app that works on all devices and covers every aspect of your farm, this is the app for you. It's intuitive, has lots of features, and just works. It works offline too. Allows you to stack those job lists up and take photos for reference later. Easy to get your staff on board and can even do print outs via your PC. 10/10 can't live without it now.
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.
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.
