Common questions

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in. Everything lives on your phone.

Does it work without signal?

Yes, entirely. The only thing that ever needs a connection is the purchase itself.

I bought the unlock but it is not showing

Open Settings inside HiveNote and tap Restore purchase. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so this also restores the unlock on a new phone.

How do I move my records to a new phone?

Settings → Save a backup file, choose Save to Files (iCloud Drive works well). On the new phone, Settings → Restore from a backup file, then close and reopen HiveNote.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Export any hive, or a whole apiary, as a PDF or a spreadsheet. Export keeps working for as long as you have the app. Your records are never held back from you.

Will HiveNote tell me what to do about my bees?

No, and it never will. HiveNote records what you observed and shows it back to you. It does not interpret observations or recommend treatments, and it is not a source of veterinary, agricultural or biosecurity advice.
