Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

Bean for Lemmy is now available on the App Store for everyone to download!

The app is free to use with a "Pro" plan that gives you access to some premium features like push notifications and multiple accounts, as well as a bunch of customisation options with more themes and app icons available.

Thank you to everyone who tested the app over the last month. I'm really happy with what I've made in a short period of time but… This is just the beginning and I have so much more planned including mod tools, kbin supported more!

I hope you'll check it out and I look forward to hearing your feedback ❀️

To everyone that enjoys the app, and especially those pleased enough to subscribe or purchase Lifetime Pro, don’t forget to rate and review the app in the App Store. Let’s help Steve build a user base!

[–] steve228uk 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you!! Yes, App Store reviews are a massive help ❀️

Any plans to add a safari extension like Apollo used to have and Ivory currently has? I’m all for buying in on good software, but that’s one of the requirements for me to buy in.

It looks great!

How long will the lifetime discounted option be available for? I will go for that once I hit payday at the end of the week.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’ll be for at least a week! I really appreciate the support 😊

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don’t take it off until I can afford to pay for it! πŸ˜€

This actually looks really polished

[–] steve228uk 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you 😊

EDIT: Fixed it. After deleting the app from the phone, and choosing the option to remove all data, a fresh install allowed me to go through the real Pro subscription process.

Original message below: I'm having trouble subscribing to Pro. I did the fake lifetime subscription in TestFlight a few days ago, and it still says i'm subscribed in the app store version. In TestFlight, it now shows the option to install bean, so I'm pretty sure the version on my phone is the official release. I want to give you real money!

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much!

The fake payment seems to get cached for a while (I think 24 hours) but it seems like deleting it fixes things.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got a lifetime sub! https://postimg.cc/SndY1G6M/f8b6b53f

It definitely wasn't cheap (considering the several open source free lemmy apps), but seeing how fast this app has evolved + your commitment shows that this is gonna be a serious app (and not a side experiment that is suddenly canned).

This is also exactly why I chose lemm.ee as my instance, I'm looking for serious and stable platforms. Commitment quickly runs out for free apps, as I've seen many times before. Anyways congrats on the appstore release!

[–] pelley 3 points 1 year ago

Me too! Love this app so much.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the support! ❀️

Before I buy Pro, is there a timeline as to when image posts will mark as read correctly when the image is opened from the thumbnail? (Links seem to mark as read correctly when clicking the thumbnail)

Thanks!

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'll get that fixed for 1.0.2 so within a couple of days.

can Bean work with kbin accounts? I know the two are federated, just wondering since that’s my home instance πŸ˜›

[–] steve228uk 5 points 1 year ago

At the moment Kbin doesn’t have an API in the stable release. When it does I plan to add support to Bean.

In the meantime you’ll need a Lemmy account and sub to Kbin Magazines from there.

Hopefully not much longer!

Will Test Flight be ending?

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The link for new TestFlight testers is already closed and I'll be clearing the list at the end of this week. Testing for v1.1 will be opened up again as a new list soon.

Finally my go to Lemmy app is in the AppStore. Your app made the transition from reddit over to Lemmy much much easier for me. Thank you very much! Can’t wait what the future is brining… Will Pro carry over to testflight?

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! I'm glad I could help with the switch πŸ˜„

All purchases in TestFlight are fake and aren't connected to those made on the App Store.

[–] robmexx 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know. I’ll get Pro in the official release and wonder if I’ll keep the Pro status if I support the betas in the TestFlight.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe so! I'll do some more testing and give people an update on TestFlight going forward.

[–] robmexx 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work and say hi to Jazzy from me.
