Release notes and version history

Google PlayMicrosoft StoreApp Overview
v1.6.6Latest
  • NewNow on Windows: get Feed Estimator from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11
  • FixOptimize makes each feed for its own animal and stage: a layer feed was optimised as a broiler feed, with a quarter of the calcium laying hens need, and sow, milking cow, lamb and fish fry feeds were made for other stages
  • FixOptimize keeps the vitamin-mineral premix you use; it could suggest taking it out of the feed
  • FixPig feeds show their energy as metabolisable energy (ME) on the feed page and report, as Optimize does; they read about 800 kcal too low. Catfish feeds use catfish energy values
  • NewLayer and Breeder feeds in the Formulator
  • ImprovedFish broodstock feeds get grower protein, and a breeding bull is no longer fed like a milking cow
v1.6.5
  • FixThe report has a Back arrow to the feed you were editing or the recipe list; on a computer, Esc does the same (before, the only way out on Windows was the sidebar)
v1.6.4
  • FixThe feed report always matches the feed page; after an edit it could show the numbers from when the app was opened
  • FixAnalyse shows the feed as it is on your screen, unsaved changes included
  • FixSaving an edited feed keeps its production stage and a new name
  • FixIngredient limits corrected on phones updated many times: maize is no longer flagged in broiler feed (it can make up 65%)
v1.6.3
  • NewLayer and breeder feeds have their own limits: a normal layer mash (8 to 10% limestone) is no longer flagged
  • NewEvery animal lists its real stages, from piglet nursery to lactating sow, calf to dry cow, fry to fingerling, each checked against its own limits
  • NewSettings › Farm profile: your farm's name on Home and at the top of reports and exports, kept in backups
  • NewMade for tablets and computers: lists and details side by side, sortable tables, a labelled menu, landscape on tablets
  • ImprovedFeed report PDF in % of diet, as on screen; bigger quick-action buttons on Home
  • FixPrice history shows each change; Settings › Archive opens on tablets; totals and prices fit with large text
v1.6.2
  • NewArchive instead of delete, with Undo and Settings › Archive; nothing you record disappears without a way back
  • NewComplete, encrypted backups of all farm data, and a safe restore that never overwrites what is on the phone
  • NewFeed log records each feeding and its feed, splits it into its ingredients and takes each one off stock
  • NewSave any feed you choose: a feed past a safety limit is shown with its problems and saved if you decide to
  • NewRecord sales, and call, WhatsApp or email your suppliers from the app
  • NewThe whole app in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swahili, Yorùbá, Filipino and Tagalog, plus 10 new currencies
  • ImprovedLive head counts for every batch, and production totals over the whole history, one number per thing
  • ImprovedLysine, methionine, calcium and phosphorus shown in % of diet everywhere, as on feed labels
  • ImprovedCustom ingredients need only protein and energy; leave blank what you do not know
  • ImprovedIngredient region filter works; long screens scroll as one page; larger buttons for use outdoors
  • FixLog Feeding saved the chosen feed as an ingredient since 1.5.1; those records are converted on update, none are deleted, and each can be changed back
  • FixPens & Houses list works in Yorùbá (it was empty in 1.5.5)
  • FixDelete dialogs for suppliers and prices always close; backup and supplier dialogs have large full-width buttons
  • FixRestoring a backup no longer stops the day’s reminders and alerts
  • FixBatch figure cards fit with larger system text; Settings shows the real database size

  • FixPrevented silent failures when saving database entities (pens, batches, logs, tasks, etc.) by displaying database write error messages

  • FixFeeds saved from the Formulator now appear in My Feeds immediately and correctly respect the duplicate-name constraint
  • FixReport database write failures when editing an ingredient that fails to update any database row
  • FixRemoved dead equality guards to ensure invalid categories are rejected and incomplete feed details abort saving
