Hey Beanies! 👋

First of all, thank you so much for your help testing Bean, ironing out bugs, suggesting features, and encouraging me to work on this app. It’s been a blast so far and I look forward to working on Bean for a long time.

I’m happy with where Bean is and I’ll be pushing it to the App Store this week. There are just a couple of things I need to finalise first, like the ability to block users and editing Groups.

I’ve also decided to go down the “Pro” plan route for monetisation. Bean will be free to download and use, and the paid plan will unlock additional themes, icons, and some premium features (like push notifications).

Pricing will include monthly, annual, and lifetime options.

Expect to see Bean Pro pop up in a build in the coming days and I hope you’ll all support this decision. I’ve put a lot of time into Bean and have taken time away from my day job to work on it. Hopefully this monetisation route will enable me to continue to dedicate a lot of time each month as there is so much more I want to do.

— Steve ❤️

Can we do that officially? I thought the purchase on TestFlight was for testing purposes only, and didn’t actually charge us.

That’s correct, no payment is taken on TestFlight apps.
