## Review summary

Users broadly praise Apiarist for being easy to use, photo support for inspections, automatic weather data, a feature-rich free app, and a helpful notes system. Common drawbacks center on a not-so-intuitive workflow with multiple steps for data entry and charting issues where graphs either don’t load or aren’t easily readable. Some users also mention confusion around certain modules like finances. Overall, it’s a powerful beekeeper assistant that could benefit from UI simplification and more reliable chart/export behavior.

### Pros

- Ability to attach inspection photos and have per-hive pictures.
