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!

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the App, but…

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.

Best out there

Helps with so many aspects of this game. I always thought “I’ll remember” but that doesn’t work. Great app for tracking and learning about your hives

Yessss!!!

I’ve tried a few, this is the best. Well worth the money. It’s so easy to use and displays all the information beautifully. I love the quick glances at my inspection notes and the ease of inputting information. This is a million times better than my notebook. Thank you for the thoughtful design and your efforts creating this I love it.

Third Year using Hive Bllom

I am going into my third season using Hive Bloom and I absolutely love this app. I have tried many others and settled on this one. I have a small operation with 30 hives and highly recommend Hive Bloom. It is simple to use yet comprehensive.

When I am in the field I usually update using my iPhone and when I get home review on my iPad. It syncs seamlessly which I love.

The company is very easy to contact directly to provide feedback, which they definitely listen to.

Highly recommend any beekeeper to try out this app.

Excellent hive app

Excellent app for tracking hives status , especially if you have numerous hives and want to track splits and requeening.
Love the nfc feature to identify the hive wherever it is moved to.

Looking forward to this years beekeeping , whereby I’m planning on expansion, and this app will be perfect for tracing and tracking hive expansion.

Great app for multiple users

We use this apps to track over 80 hives that are cared for by multiple volunteers and staff. It is an amazing way to communicate about the care of the hives along with a terrific way to keep historical records. The developer is very responsive when we’ve had feedback and suggestions. Highly recommended.

Impressed

I have not been good at tracking my hives/queens in the past so I have been looking for a hive tracking app. Found this to be very intuitive to use along with tracking everything I need. Highly recommend for the hobbyist or Bee Club that wants to share information for mentoring.

Great, but could use more functionality

I have used a couple different apps to track my hives and I like this one the best so far for its ease of use in the bee yard.

Of course that comes with a "however".... I do wish that it had summary views where I could check on varroa counts, hive weights, and gentleness over time to better manage my hives. I would love a line graph to show this information to better make decisions on breeding certain queens or not breeding them to better the quality of bees in my bee yard.

Other than that one little functionality, I REALLY do like this and enjoy that I can use it on my phone, mac, and ipad depending on where I am.

The app looks cool but

There’s a paywall😣

Great App

Love this app to help me to “bee” a better beekeeper. I find it very easy and even fun to work with. I’m going to recommend at our next beekeepers meeting.

Easy peasy

This app is so user friendly and intuitive. I particularly like the individual hive page that is so nicely laid out and importantly there is a coloured button that immediately tells you what colour queen you might be looking for. Lastly the fact that data is stored in the cloud means I can access my information on either iPad or iPhone without having to manually update either.
Initially I baulked at the price but yearly at the price of 2 or 3 jars of honey it’s an absolute bargain.

Additions needed

Need to be able to modify dates to be in the past such as when the queen started. General notes per hive would be helpful. And ability to say defensive bees

HiveBloom

So glad that I chose this app for my job at Blue Dasher Farm in Estelline, South Dakota!

We find it easy to use and a very helpful tool for our beekeeping work!

The support from Marty has been really great, timely and supportive!

So much easier than paper records!

I really do love the app, and it’s so so much easier than trying to manage paper records. I’ve not found any issues at all with it, and find it to be convenient and quick for updating our inspections.

The only reason I’ve given it a 4* review is I feel like it’s missing a feature - financial management. You can already record how much honey you’ve harvested, so I think it would also be good to be able to record what honey you’ve sold and in what units to get any idea of what your cash flow has been over the seasons. As a hobbyist this for me is more just a hobby that can pay for itself than a business, so it would be good to track how that’s going.

Great app & great support

I use this for my hives, and my 11-year old grand daughter records the data for us using this app. It is easy to use and really works excellently. I especially love the way pictures are so easily integrated with the inspections.

Ease of use

Works well. A couple of ideas were presented to developer for consideration. Great work.

Great App.

I’m new to beekeeping and have been using HiveBloom from day one. It has made my start up and record keeping much easier. Thank you. Scott
