### 5/5 — Nice App for the hobbiest/sideliner

*2026-07-09*

I enjoy the app, I’m able to track my 15 colonies at 3 different sites easily and well. In depth inspections on the fly or the ability to record then input later. 

I also enjoy the fact I can track all my expenses and revenue which is calculated automatically. This makes taxes at the end of the year far easier than a bag full of receipts. 

A couple things I wish this app had. 

A connection with a plant ID app mainly for bloom periods and nectar flow dates. I use I naturalist and it’s an amazing plant app. 

Also the ability to add pictures to my expenses so I can just snap a receipt and move on.   

Otherwise 5 stars absolutely!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely try to implement your suggestions!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-30*

Super helpful so far. Love it

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 4/5 — Apiarist feedback

*2026-05-27*

Значительно улучшили функционал по сравнению с ранними версиями. Сейчас не хватает возможности с разных устройств заходить и смотреть пасеки, планы работ и прочие показатели. Очень полезно для распределенной команды или для ситуаций, когда заполнил все на одном устройстве, а потом хочешь посмотреть на другом.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за обратную связь. В приложении есть синхронизация данных между устройствами. Нужно зайти под тем же Apple ID и включить iCloud.

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2026-05-20*

It sure beats pen and paper! I’m really enjoying using this app. Of course I would customize several more things, but I think every beekeeper keeps records slightly differently, so what I might want to change about this app wouldn’t necessarily apply to everyone. I do find I rely heavily on the notes section below. And I VERY much appreciate the ability to put photos in for hive inspections!!!

I really loved this app. I paid for the pro version. But now I can’t even open it - it crashes immediately. Now I can’t see my notes or write new ones. So sad.

**Developer response:** Thank you. As I understand it, everything is working fine for you now. I've also prepared a new version, 1.18.1, with some additional improvements.

### 1/5 — 全てのデータが消えてしまった

*2026-05-14, version 1.17.0*

二年ほど約14群の管理をしていたが、アップデート後全てのデータが消えてしまいました。非常に気に入っていたのでとても残念でした。

### 2/5 — 使い方がいまいち

*2026-04-11, version 1.17.0*

数百群持っているハチを1箱づつ管理できるようにはなっているが、これに記録するには非常に手間。
また記録した群の削除ができず使いづらい

### 4/5 — Ben fatta

*2026-03-06, version 1.17.0*

App utile e funzionale

### 1/5 — Not user friendly unfortunately

*2025-10-12, version 1.14.0*

Looked promising but archaic in how it captures and lays out data. Maybe just a steep learning curve could be improved.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-09-06*

Easy to use. Able to print records

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — Kullanımı zor

*2025-08-06, version 1.12.3*

Bir türlü anlaşılır ve seri değil
