Hive - Productivity Platform

It doesn’t look anything like desktop app. Can’t see all projects, difficult to navigate interface, just rubbish. I could NOT recommend to anyone.

App crashes every time you do a few little steps. I’ve removed it and will be using a different one.

Feels like this is a very small team which is fine but they’re missing the mark on so much. This is supposed to be for project management by the limitations and inconsistencies and insane. For example, the have several options for how to view tasks but then all the task options aren’t available in every view…that’s just weird. That’s comment on hive in general (don’t get me wrong, it’s a good free alternative to others) but the mobile app is awful. Notifications are never right, badge apps either don’t exist, or show up when there’s no actual notification. Mobile app needs work.

Don't expect to use this app with any kind of consistent quality. The mobile version often doesn't show notifications correctly. I will open the app, which says outwardly that I have no notifications, and find that there's several in there. Once I've opened the app, the notification count on the app icon will suddenly appear, like it's "remembered." So I have to manually check for notifications, which is obviously not helpful. Other times, it will show a notification count when there are none. Recently I haven't been able to send any messages at all from mobile because of some kind of bug, which makes the app pretty much unusable. I will type the message, hit send, nothing happens. I've signed out, redownloaded the app, problem still persists.

Verified MFA accounts on both gmail and entra fail login. Next!

Glad to be able to get notifications on the go, but checking proofs and annotations still requires a browser/laptop. I use video proofing for our team so we are constantly getting feedback that needs to be viewed on laptops. If I’m on a shoot, i can’t see what it is or respond quickly. The notifications don’t mirror my settings in the app so I sometimes have a wildly different list of to-dos. Someone else said it was “chaotic” and i agree. Using this app introduces chaos where it needs to provide stability.

Great app, crashes upon load for iPhone 15 at the moment

This syncing feature really needs improvement. Proof HQ’s works much better.

Can’t even get past the login screen because the sign in button is disabled even after typing user name and password.

Desktop and web version are good but it was shocking how miserable the mobile version is. This is hardly to be able to be considered as a complete mobile product. Not only it only has bare minimum existing functions (You can have any tasks app on market offers way more complicated functions as this app), but the user experience is just chaotic. When you delete/add a task, it wouldn’t ref-elect so immediately (I cannot believe in 2023 that a simple function couldn’t be done properly), even after you restart/refresh the app. You can’t edit/add a project directly form mobile (only actions). In “my action”, the app would only display “random” 5 actions, out of all your actions. you cannot scroll to view more unless you move into the actual project. And what the actions the app choose to display doesn’t even make too much sense. I have actions due in 5 days but it choose to show something with further due, it’s not based on the action card order in the project, it’s not based on alphabetical order. I honestly don’t understand why a company would put a product like this on the market. It doesn’t look good for the company’s image and I have seriously doubt for their judgement after using the mobile app.
