Agworld is an extremely powerful app and web app package. Agworld is designed to be able to perform all farm (cropping) planning, recording and analysis activities. A sophisticated syncing capability has been developed that ensures all information entered into the iPad app is stored when offline and updated as soon as it’s possible.

Information coming to the iPad from Agworlds server is also synced so that is always current. One of the features that Agworld is promoting as a difference to its competitors is the incorporation of grains research and product information into its database which is accessible to subscribers.

One of the trade offs of complex systems is that they are complex by nature and Agworld does not have the most intuitive user interface. Agworld is not alone in this problem though and this may be the price you have to pay to get what is one of the most powerful crop management apps currently on the market.

Cost: The iPad app costs $109.99 and a subscription is also required to Agworld to be able to sync with their databases. Contact Agworld for subscription information.
