I’m going to use my mod powers that I abandoned and didn’t ask for when they were given back to warn potential subscribers to steer clear of Bean for now at the very least.
As many of us have purchased lifetime subscriptions with promised updates not being delivered and communication from the dev team all but nonexistent, I think it’s safe to assume that Bean has been abandoned. Please cancel any existing recurring subscriptions if you have them and do not subscribe if you haven’t.
There are many other good Lemmy clients out there. I personally have switched to Voyager, but people also seem to like Thunder and Mlem.
I apologize for my part in all this; just know that I was duped as well, and received no communication or compensation from the dev team.
Arctic for Lemmy (iOS) has just been released on the Appstore. If anyone’s looking for alternatives this could be worth checking out. The app is free, and made entirely in swift. Everything is so smooth.

This is what I’ve been using. It does seem more polished and has better gestures than Bean.
