Description
Tractor GPS™ guidance system is developed for tractor and machinery operators, providing precise navigation for all agricultural activities.
This iPhone app is tailored to enhance fieldwork efficiency through GPS technology.
Tractor GPS requires a paid subscription (that includes a 7 day free trial) to access.
Why Tractor GPS for iPhone?
• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to dedicated GPS systems for tractors, which can be quite expensive, an iPhone-based app is significantly more affordable. Many farmers already own smartphones, so the primary cost would be the app itself, which is often much less than hardware-based systems.
• Increased Precision and Efficiency: GPS technology allows for precise navigation and field mapping, enabling tractors to follow exact paths with minimal overlap. This precision reduces wasted time and fuel, making farming operations more efficient.
• Ease of Use: Smartphones are designed to be user-friendly, and most people are already familiar with their operation. This familiarity translates to a shorter learning curve for using an iPhone-based GPS app, allowing farmers to quickly integrate it into their farming practices.
• Portability: An iPhone-based app can be easily carried between different vehicles and machinery, making it versatile for various tasks around the farm. This portability ensures that precision farming techniques can be applied across a wide range of operations without the need for multiple dedicated systems.
• Regular Updates: Software-based solutions like iPhone apps can be updated regularly to introduce new features, improve accuracy, and fix bugs. This ensures that farmers have access to the latest technology and can adapt to new farming practices or regulatory requirements more easily.
• Lower Input Costs: By improving the accuracy of planting, fertilizing, and pesticide application, GPS systems help minimize the amount of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides used. This targeted application reduces input costs and environmental impact.
• Enhanced Crop Yields: Precision farming facilitated by GPS technology can lead to better crop management and higher yields. Accurate data and field mapping enable optimized planting patterns and resource application, which can boost crop health and productivity.
• Reduced Operator Fatigue: GPS-guided tractors can operate with minimal manual intervention, reducing the physical and mental strain on operators. Automated steering systems allow operators to focus more on monitoring the machinery and less on steering, leading to longer productive hours with less fatigue.

Ratings and Reviews
Small Farmer approved
Had software for couple weeks. Have no intentions on canceling. This software is an incredible value for the small farmer on a tight budget. We have used it for fertilizer and spray and is very accurate. Family sharing allows my son to use it on our farm on his devise without separate subscription. Support also is awesome and prompt to answer any questions.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the kind words. Your subscription is helping us to continue development of the app and is much appreciated.
Supposedly updates coming
I have read many of the reviews suggesting or complaining about being able to use a light bar or an external antenna, the only feedback the developer leaves is for 4&5 star critical reviews. Its coming soon is the common reply starting back in April, well it is almost October and nothing. I used the app for the trial period and canceled since I did not like the lack of accuracy and other features I would expect for a $90 yearly subscription. The negative reviews seem accurate and the positive reviews do not.
Possibly paying some company for bogus reviews. If I see some actual meaningful and useful updates that allow this app to preform close to what’s currently claimed I may adjust this review, but not holding my breath.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on our app. We do listen to all user input, good and bad, as it helps us improve our product.
We've addressed many of the features and bugs mentioned in older reviews. While recent updates have focused on stability and performance improvements that may not be immediately obvious to users, they significantly enhance the app's overall functionality.
Regarding accuracy concerns, it's important to note that GPS performance can vary significantly between older and newer iPhone models due to hardware differences. We offer a free trial to allow users to test the app's accuracy on their specific device before committing to a purchase.
To address accuracy issues more comprehensively, we're developing a custom external GPS antenna. We're carefully balancing cost and performance to ensure it meets user needs. The device is currently in the testing phase, which is time-consuming but crucial for quality. We expect to announce a release date soon.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at hello@tractorgpsapp.com. We're committed to providing the best possible experience for our users and value your input.
Just get it
This might be my first app review but I feel this one deserves it. I have used this app several times this year and no telling what it has saved me as a small time 40 acre cattle farmer. I just finished up spraying for army worms in the dark and couldn’t have done it without this app.
