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.

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.

I'm looking forward to messaging!

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.

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!

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! :)

 

Curious how many Umphrey's fans are also Lemmy users. Anyone else going to UMBowl in Boston this year?
