SMS Vaga is the app for beekeepers who have an SMS Vaga indicator under the hive. The scale measures and reports on its own, and you see the state of the apiary on your phone — without driving out to it. WHAT YOU SEE • Hive weight: total, net and tare, plus the daily yield • Temperature inside and around the hive, and air humidity • Battery level and GSM signal strength • Weekly yield, day by day, with a cut-off hour you choose yourself • A chart of weight, temperature and humidity — by minute, hour or day • A weather forecast for the spot the scale stands on, with a map MOVEMENT PROTECTION A scale with a position receiver remembers the spot it was set up on. If it leaves that spot, it tells you how far away it is and shows it on the map. The alarm radius and the checking interval are visible in the app, and locking a new spot is a single button — you press it at the apiary once the scale has been moved. NOTIFICATIONS What cannot wait reaches your phone: an evening report with weights and temperatures, a sudden loss of weight, a target weight reached, a low battery, a weak signal, an expiring SIM subscription and a scale that has been moved. News and tips have their own switch, so you can turn them off and keep the alerts. SHARING A SCALE You can hand a scale over to another beekeeper — create a code that lasts 7 or 30 days. Whoever enters it can only view the scale: no changing the tare, the name, the settings or the location. They receive all notifications from that scale, and you can see who has access and withdraw it at any time. BLUETOOTH — SETTING UP THE SCALE CLOSE BY When you are standing next to the scale you do not have to wait for a report. Over Bluetooth you ask for a measurement, 30 days of history, the software version or the current settings, and the answer appears at once. It works even where there is no mobile network at the apiary. ALSO • Several scales on one account, auxiliary scales under their main one • Add a scale by scanning the QR code on the sticker or by typing the IMEI • Share a picture of a reading by message or through other apps • Eleven languages • Delete your account from inside the app The app needs an SMS Vaga indicator. Without the device there is nothing for it to show. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 2.5.4 — 2026-09-25 Sharing a scale You can hand a scale over to another beekeeper. Create a code that lasts 7 or 30 days; whoever enters it can view the scale and receives its notifications, but cannot change the tare, the name, the settings or the location. You see who has access and can withdraw it before it expires. Movement protection The guest may arm, disarm and lock the protection — they are usually the one carrying the scale to the field. The owner is notified of every such change. No network If the phone has no internet, the app no longer asks you to sign in again. It opens and says the network is missing, and the data loads as soon as it is back. ### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-09 What's new: • Evening report at 8 PM — weight, daily yield and day's temperatures, straight to your phone • Notification history — everything from the last 7 days, in one place in your profile • Daily measurements — swipe through days to see every measurement • More secure: encrypted connection and safe login storage ### 1.0 — 2026-06-05 No release notes. ## Apps similar to SMS Vaga | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [eLK Signature](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/elk-signature/id6762343220) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Infobip Messaging](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/infobip-messaging/id1117351371) | — | Free | Utilities | | [IMIKI AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/imiki-ai/id6752692331) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Pegla](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pegla/id6754963788) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Utilities | | [My Mtel Switzerland](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-mtel-switzerland/id1662112331) | — | Free | Utilities | | [FoxCloud US](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/foxcloud-us/id1635114645) | 4.0 (4) | Free | Utilities | ## More apps by Slavenko Miljic - [Parking BGD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/parking-bgd/id1545061854) - [Kwik Tac Toe](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kwik-tac-toe/id1626749035) - [StepMark: Pedometer Widget](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stepmark-pedometer-widget/id6759448480) - [Spendimate](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spendimate/id6783092468) All apps by Slavenko Miljic: https://appshunter.io/developer/1545061856 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
