I don't actually use Bean, as I'm on android, but I have remained subbed to the community out of interest. I don't think you need to apologise, everyone has a real life that takes priority, so I'm sure everyone will just be happy to hear that you're back, & will be pushing on with the development of your popular app. Good luck 👍🏼
What you probably don't know is that they sold lifetime subs to Bean, hyped on a multireddit-like functionality that was rather broken, and then pretty much bailed.
I haven't used Bean after they closed test flight. When I saw pricing for the app I stayed subscribed to this community due to morbid curiosity because even then it looked very sus (app kept falling behind competition while being more expensive).
I wonder why anyone is using it when some other clients are free and miles ahead, some of which are similar in design. Buyer's remorse probably.
I use it because the UI is cleaner, IMO. There’s a polish to the UI that other apps just don’t seem to get close to (how many use back buttons on the top left instead of a hamburger menu?)
That’s my reasoning too. All of the others just seem too busy.
I wasn't actually aware that this was a paid app, but isn't that something of an iOS thing....there always seems to be more paid apps on there, as opposed to android...🤷🏻♂️
No… it’s a developer wanting to be paid for their work thing.
Glad to hear from you. Hoping to see you stick to your word. I love the UI of Bean, but hoping to see it continue to deliver on features such as iPad layout support improvements to the grouped community feature.
Lets keep it short and relatable: welcome back.
Welcome back Steve! I still use bean daily so exciting to hopefully see some development again :)
Welcome back!
Looking forward to seeing more updates!
Thanks mate! Please add widget support and I'll resubscribe to premium version. Cheers
