## What is Pollen Mobile Honeybee?

Pollen Mobile is a mobile network that allows you to connect where others can’t. Pollen provides coverage through small radios called “Flowers” that can be deployed anywhere mobile coverage is needed—from your home to your favourite hiking trail. The Honeybee app, and Honeybee eSIM, allow you to use the Pollen Mobile network in areas where there is coverage, and to request coverage in new areas where you need it by “dropping Pollen.” 

Features: 
* Travel the world and “Drop Pollen” wherever you don’t have coverage to request new coverage to be built 
* Connect to nearby Pollen towers (aka Flowers) where there is service to connect where others can’t
* Earn rewards (PollenCoin) to get discounted data plans 

Requirements:
* The Honeybee App must be paired with a Honeybee eSIM that is available for purchase. By purchasing and/or using the Honeybee eSIM, you agree to Pollen Mobile’s Terms of Use and Conditions. 
* The Honeybee App and eSIM can only be used on phones that are not “carrier locked” (your main carrier does not block you from installing a secondary plan). 

Recommended Devices:
* iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 running iOS Version 16+ 
* iPad running iOS 16+ 
* Network in areas where there is coverage, and to request coverage in new areas where you need it by “dropping Pollen.”

### 1/5 — Terrible company, rugpull project

*2023-04-21*

Don’t ever trust Pollen with your money, they don’t know how to run a business and will screw over their community at the drop of a hat

### 5/5 — Really great technology and app

*2023-01-09, version 1.10*

The app is great but the technology they are using behind it is a no brainer if you are privacy oriented.
Highly recommended.
App has worked flawlessly for me so far.

### 5/5 — UI and pollen

*2022-11-09, version 1.09*

Been a user since early beta and have been through different phases of the app, report bug, enhancements and so.

It could be hassle to get used to it but you have one rewarding missing, reach daily 100 for your reward and close app if you don’t want to contribute network, save battery etc.

Onto app, it is quite nice to see hex progress and where you are, would love CarPlay integration but not a big deal once you know hex boundaries of places you care. Initially was  using a website to see hex and now it is within app. Best enhancement we had.

Background app sync, I don’t think rewarding should be easy. It is not that they don’t care about user feedback, never committed to doing it. It is good as is.  It is a system that rewards its users for engagement. Also, there is limited resources for background apps, so keep it on screen, finish daily target and be done, nothing to beg about.

I would prefer to have keep screen on feature if not already. Disabled the auto turn off, and sometimes drains battery if I forget to manually close. Not convenient to switch on/off. 

Keep up the good work!!

### 1/5 — App has zero thought for UX

*2022-10-27, version 1.04*

The developers of this app have ignored users during their entire beta period. It does not run in the background, it does not offer an option to keep the screen on.. so anyone who wants to map has to go disable their screen timeout every single time they use the app. 

Clicking on a hex is always a gamble on whether or not it will actually load. Can you please just provide clickable links to the explorer when viewing a hex?

Sloppy mess for the app that is currently the most user-facing product of this entire project
