### 5/5 — Building Management Team

*2025-05-07*

I am impressed with the professionalism and overall friendliness of the entire property management team. I am particularly pleased with how Mr. Santos of the front desk is always ready to be supportive and helpful.

### 1/5 — Not good anymore

*2022-09-27*

This app used to sort of work, but with the latest version of iOS it doesn’t seem to work at all. 

Either update it so that it works or get rid of it.

### 5/5 — Ac

*2020-10-31*

Thank you John. It’s nice and warm in my apartment now.

### 4/5 — Great start. Needs iPhone X support, long-press for Quick Issue Snap

*2019-03-01*

For newer iPhones that support 3D Touch, I’d like to 3D-press the app to quickly launch the Quick Issue Snap feature.

Also, it’s time to add support for the larger screens on iPhone X and later.

I am looking forward to using this app more and more, and am glad my building management company has started offering it.

### 5/5 — Facilities Coordinator

*2018-08-31*

So glad to have this app for reporting maintenance items to our maintenance provider. No more taking notes and waiting to get back to my office to report them. Just open the app, select the property, provide a brief description of the issue and send it. Even has the option to take a photo and drawl a circle or arrow to highlight the problem. Definitely helps with managing our 68 properties.

### 4/5 — Rename the app

*2018-07-29*

Works well enough. Glad I don’t have to sit down at my desktop to submit a work order anymore. The app’s name makes no sense to me though. How about BEhive? 😀

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2018-07-11*

I’ve had this app for couple weeks now and it just does not work. As soon as I login it just says loading images. This app is absolute junk. If I could give it no stars and still give a review I would. Not a happy camper.

### 1/5 — I have another building that uses your app. How do I get a second location address in there.

*2018-02-15*

Help. Need second app or be able to add another location.

### 1/5 — Request for main floor washroom door to remain open.

*2017-10-25*

As you requested a response to completed work, an elderly woman came looking for the key.
What are we supposed to do? If it was my mother I would hope someone would be compassionate enough to open the door!

### 4/5 — Great for adding visitor names to security list

*2017-05-23*

I downloaded this app solely to add visitors to our security list.  Works very well, straight forward and simple to do.
