### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-04-03*

Won’t connect to social media for log in, won’t set up so you can load your hives.

### 3/5 — It's a good start but needs improving

*2021-05-07*

I've tried several beekeeping apps and this is the best one so far. It's a little cumbersome and doesn't really cater for the UK market where we mostly use National hives.
Hopefully the update due soon will cover the hive types. 
I like the amount of detail you can record as it not too onerous and if you want extra you can use the notes. You can also add in reminders.

### 4/5 — Sugesstion

*2020-06-06, version 1.2.3*

Hi
Could you add a comment box in the honey harvest section? I would like to note the water content of the collected honey

### 1/5 — Language

*2019-06-13, version 1.0*

It indicates it uses English though it only appears to show text in German or some other EU language.

**Developer response:** dear kobymack
The app is available in English in the "Settings" ("Einstellungen") tab.
Best regards
