Hey @steve228uk - congrats! I somehow missed that Bean made the jump to the App Store. I just sent you a message, but then I realized there's no messaging in Bean, so you may not see it.
Pro tip: in general, never refer to a group of people by an adjective: eg, the females, the gays, the blacks, etc. That doesn't mean it's always socially wrong, but there's usually a better way.
I've been on the TestFlight for a bit and I'm a for-sure day one subscriber. I was an Apollo Ultra ifetime'r - Pro since 2017, and Ultra since 2019.
Although I know I'm going to get some shit for this, I think the pricing is a bit high for early adopters. To be clear, I'm going to do it anyway, but Lemmy is still unproven as the next big platform - there's still Kbin, Tildes, Lobsters, and more. I think I recall Apollo lifetime was $24.99, a platform that had a hundred million users. I don't know if I can sell my friends on $17.99 for a year, or $50 lifetime, just yet.
My thought would be to cut that for a month or two - early-bird the price to $1.99/mo, $12 for a year, or $29.99 lifetime. Build up a user base. Then once it's got that install base, move to the prices advertised, as a proven app.
And just to prove this isn't inspired by me being cheap, check my comment history, I've been trying to give /u/steve228uk money for awhile now! :)
Can you please include a link to a tip jar or something? I'm happy to throw a few bucks your way for the insane speed of development of this app, which is already my primary Lemmy app!
You'd be surprised. Plenty of great in ear monitors that are sub $100 and use balanced 4.4mm jacks.
Just more end-stage capitalism enshittification.
Best comment I'll read today.

So do I. If you press and hold your current face, you can swipe from face to face.
It exists, you just to hard press and hold.
Shout out for Bean! It's a fantastic app that this former Apollo Ultra user thinks is fantastic.
Ooh running that shiny new Android 10! I wonder if it's easily updatable and/or if there are images available.

I'm looking forward to messaging!

Following up on my comment from yesterday*
$14.99 for a year "feels" a lot better than $17.99. I like that a lot.
$29.99 for early adopters feels like a great motivator and should get you a nice chunk of raving fans and ambassadors!
Opeth is so good. I know a few people who love their music but struggle with the vocals, but damn are they talented.

Throwing in a vote for Bean. It's the only one on my homescreen.

Nah man, this one is /c/PoliceBrotality
It would be helpful to have a "parent" button
Crack an Ag? Betcha can't.

Bean is absolutely amazing. I can't wait until there's a way for me to give you money for this app.
Please keep adding icons! It's so much fun to change it up over time!
