Frequently asked questions
Is the app free?
Yes. The app is free and has no ads. Smart scales and the hub are separate devices — you don't need them for apiary records.
Can I use it without scales?
Yes. Apiaries, hives, the inspection journal, tasks, the queen rearing timer and QR codes work without any devices.
Do I need the internet?
No. All data is stored on your phone and the app works fully offline. The internet is only needed to sync between devices and for data from the hub.
Do I need to sign up?
No. You'll need an account to sync data between phones, keep it on the server or receive scale readings via the hub. You can sign in with email or Google.
How do I move my data to a new phone?
Sign in on your old phone and wait for the sync to finish. Then sign in to the same account on the new phone — apiaries, hives and the journal load automatically.
Is there an iPhone version?
For now the app is Android only. An iPhone version is planned.
