Hey everyone 👋

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 ❤️

      A share extension? That should already be there, you might just need to turn it on.

          Oh, gotcha! Yeah, Ivory has “Open in Ivory”. Not a difficult thing to add, just was t something I thought about!

          I’ll add it to the list of things to do 😊

    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!

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

          Thank you! They were fun to make 😄

          Here’s a bigger look at some of them

    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.

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

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

      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!

      There is also the Artemis app for Kbin. I use Artemis for Kbin and Bean for Lemmy. They’re both incredible apps.

        Are you on Artemis.camp? Because I’m trying to log in with my Kbin.social account and it doesn’t let me

          I am. It’s due to the Kbin API not being ready. So the workaround is using the .camp for now

    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!

      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.

    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?

      Thank you! I’m glad I could help with the switch 😄

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

        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.

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