Big app update to start the year. Version 1.9.0 is available for installs or updates, and includes a bunch of new features, including adding your own logo to invoices. They are all user suggestions, by the way, so thank you so much for your comments and feedback.

I've been thinking about a question I see often: how do you manage a lot of clients? I gave it some thought and wrote a blog post with my take on it in the Best Farrier website.

Is having too many clients too much of a good thing, or is it a good problem to have? Having a large book of clients can quickly become overwhelming, and if you don’t get yourself organized and manage your working hours efficiently, can even negatively impact both your farrier business and your pe...

Hi all! We have a new update for Best Farrier, it is now on version 1.5.0, so go ahead and update! 😀

More details on this blog post:

It’s been a few months since we released our last update, but we finally released version 1.5.0 of the Best Farrier app. While we only have a couple of changes for you, the farrier, we had to do a bit of work under the hood to keep Google happy, by updating the in-app purchase libraries […]

Just a reminder that the app's current version is 1.4.2, and you should update it if you haven't yet 😀

In case you missed them, these are some of the newer features we added to the Best Farrier app in the past few months:

- The app is now fully translated to Spanish
- We improved the automatic scheduling from the invoice screen
- You can use a different currency in the app than the one your device uses (the app supports most existing currencies)
- You can rename online payment services (they are no longer fixed as PayPal and Venmo) so you can use the services local to your country
- You can switch from week to day view in the schedule by tapping on the day number at the top of the calendar
- Server messages are now nicely formatted. You will almost never see them... but they'll look nice when you do 😆

I am constantly adding new features and making improvements to Best Farrier to make managing your farrier business easier. Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments!

Great news! We've done a lot of updates to the app in the last few months. Here's a short list of some of our new features from the last releases:
- VAT support
- Additional languages: full Portuguese-BR translation, plus partial support (translated invoices, e-mails and text messages) for German, Dutch and Spanish
- Mileage tracking for up to 4 vehicles
- You can now export appointments to your device's calendar (both manually and automatically)
- The app now uses your local currency, as defined by your device's selected language

We also published a post about using VAT on Best Farrier. Check it out!

Best Farrier now fully supports VAT, making it even more useful for farriers outside the US. This blog post explains how both Sales Taxes and VATs are used in the context of the Best Farrier app, and how to properly configure it for your business tax needs.

Can legal actions be brought against a farrier by a horse owner? Sure they can. As your insurance company might say, people can sue for just about anything, so it’s something to think about. Most independent and small business people will never need to deal with this, but it’s still not a bad idea to be on guard.

A claim over a horse’s lameness is never something you want on your schedule. Document your good work. Take pictures on your phone and add them directly to a horse's service history with the Best Farrier app. This practice can protect your reputation and your business.

Best Farrier makes it easy to keep records of a horse’s condition each time you visit, showing the proof of a horse’s well-being or progress under your watch.

Plus, with Best Farrier, your horses’ complete records will stay in the app and be available to you anywhere, with a touch of the screen – even if you unsubscribe.
