Boxy Bees and Apimanager records

[alancooper]

Thinking about changing from paper records to electronic. Found the Boxy app (Android devices only) but I have an iPhone. Then looked at Apimanager (can be used by iPhone). Also considered loose leaf record cards in the apiary (my current method) with transfer to a laptop spreadsheet using an Apimanager-type xls file structure. In making a decision which method to use it would be helpful if an Apimanager user knows if records can be transferred from Apimanager to an xls spreadsheet. I do not like the idea of losing data by a decision of the USA company controlling the app decides to charge fees or fees or removes the app.
Has anyone got helpful comments?

Stick with loose leaf / notebook. It’s “Gates proof”.

A lot to be said for staying 'old school', what with updates and abandonware, there is so much recorded data to be potentially lost.

These issues are my worry. I am leaning towards paper notes to xls but am keen to hear from an Apimanager user on whether data can be downloaded to a laptop.
