Restart to update

Smaller updates download in the background while you work. When one is ready, the app asks you to restart it, on the Inspections list, Calendar or My Profile, never in the middle of a report: If the app can’t restart yet, for example while a sync is running, it says Update Pending and why. Tap Try Again when it’s done, or Continue for Now.

Unsynced Changes Detected

The Unsynced Changes Detected message over the Inspections list: You have 1 unsynced change: 1420 Maple Avenue, Springfield, IL 62704 (1 change). Open your inspection to sync them. An OK button When you open the app with work that hasn’t reached Hive yet, it lists the inspections and how many changes each has: “Open your inspection(s) to sync them.” Tap OK, open each inspection’s report, and sync it. See Syncing and offline use.

Common questions

Use the same email and password as the dashboard. If you’ve forgotten the password, tap Forgot Password?. If you’ve never signed in to the dashboard, create your account there first or accept your invitation email.
Check your spam folder, and that the email address is the one on your Hive account. The link expires after 1 hour; ask for a new one if it has.
If you changed your password, sign in once with the new password. The app then uses Face ID again.
No. Everything is saved on the phone first, and unsynced changes sync when you next open the inspection.
