When I reached out to Hive support, I never got a response. Disappointing since I really wanted to support the app. ### 1/5 — I had an account and can’t get back in *2025-10-14, version 2.9.1* I am SO deeply sad. I had an account and can’t get back in. WTH is going on with this app ### 1/5 — Halve 🫏🫏🫏 app *2025-09-03, version 2.9.1* Can't even signs up, that says it all. ### 4/5 — RIP Hive *2025-08-19, version 2.9.1* It was cool while it lasted ### 1/5 — Aug 15 2025 not working *2025-08-15, version 2.9.1* This app doesn’t work you can’t sign up and you can’t sign in. ### 1/5 — Internal error *2025-08-12, version 2.9.1* Try to sign up all I get is an internal error ### 1/5 — Haven’t been able to login for months *2025-08-02, version 2.9.1* Reset password and getting an error message telling me “it’s you, it’s me.” ### 1/5 — My account is just gone??? *2025-07-28, version 2.9.1* I tried logging in with my details, and it told me that no account with that email exists and I should try making a new one. No thanks. ### 2/5 — Had potential *2025-07-27, version 2.9.1* It’s a shame this app is dead, i tried it as a Twitter alternative when it came out. The UI was nice and it seemed like it was going to be an app that stuck around. It had potential but died. Try Bluesky if you want a good alternative ### 1/5 — WritersCafe used this for messaging *2025-07-22, version 2.9.1* And this app is worthless. Every time I try to log in, I get an error message. Does no one update this app?!?! ### 3/5 — Hive is dead *2025-07-09, version 2.9.1* I have not been able to access the service since January of 2025. It was good while it lasted. ### 4/5 — pls hurry with the update! *2025-06-25, version 2.9.1* the app refuses to work currently and I see someone else mentioned it’s in the process of updating so this is some cheerleading along the sidelines haha! I started using this app a bit over four years ago and I neeeeed to see what was on here and start using it again. it always felt very comforting and relaxed and like a journal and I’d really like to have that again ### 4/5 — Hive Update *2025-05-28, version 2.9.1* ive been using this app since 2021, and its honestly been a refreshing experience compared to other popular social media apps. i was taken aback when it suddenly stopped working but i checked out their twitter page and the have been “migrating data” and improving the app these past few months. they have a discord link in their twitter as well for updates. other then that im excited for when i can use hive again! <3 ### 1/5 — not working *2025-05-21, version 2.9.1* has stopped working for the last three- four months and haven't heard anything about fixing it ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-05-08, version 2.9.1* Just tried logging into my account it’s not letting me. Tried making a new account an can’t even tried on my iPad. Would vote zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — app just disappeared *2025-05-03, version 2.9.1* has been down for like 3 months. there was zero warning and one day it just stopped working with no updates anywhere. i used this app literally every day and now all my posts just being gone without any word about how or why is kind of insane ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-04-15, version 2.9.1* Just tried logging into my account it’s not letting me. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-04-14, version 2.9.1* No longer works. Said they have been updating for like 2 months. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — No longer active? *2025-04-10, version 2.9.1* It won’t let me sign in anymore. I click on the offered choice I always used and it just does nothing ### 1/5 — It won’t let me sign in *2025-04-09, version 2.9.1* I’ve had my account for years, and whenever I tried to log in multiple times, it says “ sorry it’s an error on our part” so like any person, I try to contact support. And what a joke, no answer. At this point I’m frustrated and just tempted to make a new account, but honestly idek if I want to anymore ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-09-07, version 2.9.1* App is broken and won’t allow logons ### 1/5 — Zombie App *2026-08-23, version 2.9.1* This is a dead app. Login does not work and there is no support. This could’ve been the next great social media app. ### 1/5 — Login *2026-06-05, version 2.9.1* Horrible app I’ve tired signing up multiple times and yet non stop comes up with an error this needs to be fixed asap ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work anymore *2026-05-23, version 2.9.1* EDIT 2: Welp it’s been a LONG time since I last used this app and tried to login again. I get a repeated error saying “There was an error connecting to Hive’s backend” now. So I guess the app is officially dead. EDIT: They finally added music yay! It’s broken too 😶 I can’t attach screenshots or I would, but for literally months I’ve been unable to edit the songs on my profile. There’s one song box that’s whited out and I can’t even attempt to edit it. And as other reviewers have stated, the owner of this app couldn’t care less about the users and you won’t get a response for support. Trash trash trash app. Just give up already. The app went down in November or December for security concerns and came back after a few weeks but when it returned all the features were broken. They asked for patience given that they are a small team and I understand that completely. However I don’t understand why every time an update is coming, the team lies to the users about which features will be returning. The music feature to this day is STILL broken, for instance, and they’ve promised its return with nearly every update. The CEO of Hive who goes by Ralucca on there even posted a news article that praised the music feature as one of the things that sets Hive apart… HELLO? You don’t even HAVE that feature anymore!! What are you even DOING? ### 1/5 — Internal Errors *2026-01-26, version 2.9.1* Tried to create an account and all I get is internal error warnings. I don’t think this app works anymore. ### 1/5 — refuses to let me log back into my account *2026-01-24, version 2.9.1* was here when everyone moved from twitter to hive and deleted the app redownloaded just now and won’t let me log back in ### 1/5 — Login issues *2026-01-07, version 2.9.1* Tried to create an account ….. constant errors. I tried various ways more errors .not worth the headache to even create an account. ### 1/5 — Useless if you can’t log in *2026-01-01, version 2.9.1* Unable to even set up an account to log in. It freezes on that screen and goes no further. Perhaps an ios26 issue ### 1/5 — The App Doesn’t Work *2025-12-21, version 2.9.1* I tried to create an account and I tried using email, google, apple, and phone number and neither of them worked. All it says is that it is an internal issue. ### 1/5 — Cant create an account *2025-11-28, version 2.9.1* Cant create an account ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-02-22, version 2.9.1* So this app alone has become my main social media platform, everyone is so nice, it’s an amazingly open and supportive platform and the dev(s) are all super cool! If you’re looking for a new platform to go to, this is the one! ### 5/5 — Vsn *2024-12-10, version 2.9.1* 10 ### 5/5 — Music integration *2024-11-15, version 2.9.1* Please use Tidal as another music app to use besides Apple Music ### 5/5 — Best Social Media App by far. *2024-07-25, version 2.9.1* I’ve had Hive for 2ish years now, and it just keeps getting better and better. This is how Social Media should be! Easy to interact, easy to post, share what you like, tag things appropriately, and just connect with others. I spend more time here than FB or IG because it’s just so much better. Thank you to the creators and admin team! I’m really happy that Hive exists!! ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2024-06-25, version 2.9.1* This app is so wonderful!!!! I’ve never felt safer in a online community! The CEO truly cares about the people on her platform. With each update the app gets better and better! I’m so excited to see this app in a year! I’m never leaving! ### 5/5 — mwah *2024-06-16, version 2.9.1* period ### 5/5 — Help *2024-03-28, version 2.9.1* I think my hive is broken I only follow 9 people but it stays I’m following 14 ? What do I do ### 5/5 — Hive is better *2024-03-06, version 2.9.1* Seriously. It’s better. Smaller community of people, there’s no “groups” to join.. there isn’t an abundance of adds while you scroll. It is what you like. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-01-08, version 2.9.1* Hive is the perfect balance of Insta and Tumblr with none of the gatekeeping. So far loving it! ### 5/5 — I pray it lasts for a wile *2023-12-28, version 2.9.1* 🥰🥰 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
