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.
