User reviews

Oh Wow!!

I used BeeScanning for the first time yesterday. I wanted that this brilliant idea actually worked. Two hives were tested. I picked 3 brood frames and took 3 pictures across each frame, so 18 pictures in less than 5 minutes. Maybe the analysis took 3 minutes, and we were done.
BeeScanning is cutting edge. No more mites washes. Ever.

No support. No clear instructions.

I purchased this app and have been trying to figure out how to use it. The video is not in English and the subtitles are not only small but impossible to track. Long story short: if someone out there writes a new program that is intuitive and easy to use, that would be great.
Shame on the people who own this app for taking the money and not offering a stitch of customer support

Painful

Very poor photos just stuck processing, clearly not a useable app, shouldn’t be on the App Store really it feels that bad.

Terrible app!

Great concept. This app could be awesome. Instead it is a bust. Does not even work with its own sample data. Swing and a miss, folks. Gave it one start as zero was not an option.

Price

You guys are crazy I wound never pay that kind of money to check for mites if you are a beekeeper and you depend on a app to check for vorroa most beeks will do the work needed to test
