Amazing App

I love this app, I used to keep my inspections on a Google sheet. This is so much better and love how detailed it is. When I’m hot and can’t always remember what I need to mark down this helps me make sure I record everything I need. I don’t have as many hives as I used to but when I had 20 plus hives this still kept everything organized. I recommend this to all my backyard beekeeper friends and acquaintances. It may not be practical for commercial but the at why they write on the boxes.

Response from developer

Thank you, this made my day! Your "I'm hot and can't remember" experience sounds just like mine, and exactly what I built the new inspection flow to solve. I appreciate your recommendation to other beekeepers, it means a lot to me. Keep up the hard work, and happy beekeeping!

Love it!

This app is totally worth it! I can’t wait very easily keep track of inspections, problems, to-do’s, treatments, feedings, etc. I highly recommend it!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Keeping inspections, treatments, and to-do's organized is exactly what we built HiveBloom for, so it's wonderful to hear it's working for you. Wishing you and your bees a great season. If you ever run into anything missing or hit a rough edge, send it my way at support@hivebloom.com. Happy beekeeping!

Excellent quality, very easy to use.

I love this beekeeping records app. I have struggled with keeping track of my hives on paper and other apps have been useless. HiveBloom is excellent, intuitive and has every possible record keeping option I need, but it is still so easy to navigate. This is a game changer for me. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot get a response from Support for a technical issue.

Great Ap

This is an amazing ap. Very flexible, easy to use. I like the voice note taker. Design to allow you to quickly take detailed inspection notes, feedings but it also has an element of fun as well. I’ve used multiple apps and this one is the best by far. The only small enhancement I would like is the ability to share notes/inspections with a pier/mentor without full edit capabilities (I.e. read only) but that is minor item. Highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying HiveBloom and finding the voice notes and inspection flow useful. Sharing inspections in a read-only way is a great suggestion; I can definitely see how that would help when working with a mentor or fellow beekeeper. I’ve added it to the feature list to explore for a future update. Grateful for your support, and wishing you a great season with your bees!
