New or changed in 2.13.0:

This update brings a few minor bug fixes, along with a quick way to switch between flocks without having to navigate back to the My Flocks screen. Pressing the flock name will open a menu with your list of active flocks.

Other changes:

  • My Flocks screen now displays the active member count for each flock
  • Displays flock member age in weeks up to 26 weeks
  • Replaces comma with dot in the numeric keyboard for EU region devices

New or changed in 2.12.1:

  • Internal maintenance updates only, along with a change to the in-app subscription requirements.

New or changed in 2.12.0:

Version 2.12.0 brings a major change to how flocks are viewed and organized. The concept of a flock is expanded way beyond simply a name for a group of flock members. Now you can add a photo, give it a start date and description, and even indicate whether it is used for egg tracking or not.

  • Added a new My Flocks screen to make it easier and more powerful to utilize the multiple flocks feature. Give your flocks a photo, and some other new attributes like Start Date, and Description. Sort and filter your flock list with the tool bar at the top.
  • You can now indicate whether a flock is used for egg tracking or not. Non-egg tracking flocks do not appear in the various dropdowns or lists related to egg tracking.
  • Flocks can now be archived. Archived flocks will be hidden all through the app, but are available to unarchive at any time.
  • The orange “Action Button” in the bottom right corner is now aware of which screen you are using and only presents menu items that are applicable to the current screen.
  • The Egg Log now has a drop down control to switch between individual layers.

New or changed in 2.11.0:

Two new features that are the direct result of user suggestions and feedback:

  • Changed the flock member Egg Log screen to a calendar view instead of a list. Go to Flocks > Tap a member > Egg Log to view the calendar.
  • Added a shortcut from the flock member list on the Flocks screen to create a Journal entry (Requires Premium).

New or changed in 2.10.0:

  • Included in v2.10.0 is a new full screen, landscape mode egg production chart. Tap the open icon in the upper right corner of the egg chart and turn your device to the side.

New or changed in 2.8.0:

  • Implemented a multi-colored bar chart for easy comparison of egg production across multiple flocks.
  • Lightning-fast selection: Quickly choose previously used breeds, vendors, customers, and dozens sold.
  • Overhauled implementation of the orange action button and pop-up menu for lag-free performance.
  • Fixed missing line break in the egg chart tooltip.

New or changed in 2.7.0:

Flockstar is now free for basic tracking of a single flock. Purchase a subscription to unlock advanced features like better organization with unlimited flocks, expense and sales tracking, and a flock member journal for logging and tagging important events.
