Will I be able to use it for free when it gets out of beta? If not, I’d rather stop using it just now cause I don’t pay for apps.
You can already pay for it, there appears to be a pro plan with extra features or you can just continue to use the app for free as is.
While it is still in TestFlight, I don’t think payments in the app are real payments.
I’ve tried a few times to make a “payment”, and it says that it is for testing only.
There will be an option to pay for additional features. But the core app will still be free.
As mentioned by @Cavendish@lemmynsfw.com, Bean will be free and the Pro plan will include some extra features and premium themes. You can see more about it by hitting “Bean Pro” in the app settings.
If we make a ‘testing’ purchase through the TestFlight app for the $29.99 lifetime will when that is live save our spot for that purchase?
No, the systems aren’t linked at all. Once the app goes live, you’ll need to download from the App Store and make the purchase there.
I’ll pop a post here when Apple eventually approve it.
