User reviews

Users appreciate Apiary Book's comprehensive tracking for multiple hives and apiaries, with useful logging and reminder features. The free tier for hobbyists and responsive support are also praised. However, many find the app complicated without adequate tutorials, struggle with non-US date formats, and face limitations on hive numbers in the free version. The design is often described as cluttered and not glove-friendly. Additionally, backup is not automatic, causing data loss risks.

Comprehensive features for logging hive activities and inspections.

Useful to-do feature for reminders and planning.

Cons

Complicated user interface with a steep learning curve and lack of tutorials.
Date format defaults to non-US style, causing confusion for US users.
Free version limits number of hives to 10, requiring paid upgrade for more.
App design is cluttered and not very user-centric, with usability issues especially when using gloves.
Backup not enabled by default, leading to data loss when changing devices.

Great app, love the fact I can download the data to a csv file. Can track multiple apiaries and hives. Terrific for logging what is going on in the apiaries. To Do feature is handy for reminders and planning. Especially for queen rearing critical dates follow up tasks. Needs a few more refinements.
