Hey there!

Three months ago, we launched a completely re-designed version of Beany. Since then, we have gained thousands of new users (and are totally wowed by that).

We also got some requests that we are happy to integrate in this new version:
• You can now also submit roasters in the app. (“…. More”)
• You can switch between light and dark modes. (“Settings”)
• We also fixed some minor bugs, improved certain design features, and bought Marius a coffee because he accomplished all of these fantastic things.

If you are attending World of Coffee 2025 in Geneva this week, please don’t hesitate to send us a message. We would love to meet you and buy you a drink.

As always, thank you very much for being the kind of person who reads release notes! You know what you would enjoy, too? A Beany Pro membership. Seriously, you will love it - subscribe to Beany Pro now!

Have a great summer, everyone!

Hey there!

Wow, this went fast. We released version 3.0.0 only on Saturday, and when we woke up from the release party, we found many great ideas from our users, you, in our inbox. Some were really easy to implement, so we went to work immediately. Also, we are stunned and super stoked that so many of you already signed up for our Beany Pro membership. Thank you so much for your trust. We promise not to disappoint you!

So, here we go with the list of what we worked on and fixed today:

Some of you (but thankfully not everyone) had trouble signing up for our awesome Beany Pro subscription. Marius found the bug and fixed it. Signing up to Beany Pro should not work smoothly.

Some of you experienced bumps while creating coffee shop lists. Marius worked on that tiny little bugger, too. By the way, it is super cool that so many of our new Beany Pros did a deep dive into the new features right away. You all rock!

Wow. We have waited for a long time until we could finally write this changelog.

We changed everything, and we hope you love it as much as we do:

New Name
Where to Drink Coffee is now Beany. We realized that the best name for our app was in front of our eyes all along: The name of our beloved mascot, Beany. So, let's all give a warm welcome to Beany!

Completely Redeveloped
Beany is now a native iOS app, developed in Swift. This redesign is a result of your feedback and our commitment to providing the best user experience. Your role in shaping Beany's future is invaluable, and we're excited to share these improvements with you.

Beany Pro
All of the Where to Drink Coffee app functions are still free on the Beany app. They will remain free for everyone. On top of that, we are introducing Beany Pro. By subscribing to Beany Pro, you get access to several new features.

1 - You can rate the coffee and service at every specialty coffee shop you visit, thus contributing to a shop's overall rating. You have read correctly: We are transferring the authority to rate shops to the Beany community.

2 - You can follow your friends, see where they had coffee and how they liked it.

3 - You can recommend shops by creating, curating, and sharing lists with everyone, no matter whether they use Beany or not.

We are excited about these new features and hope you will be too. We are trying to keep the price for the subscription plans as low and accessible as possible. Every single subscription helps us to keep Beany alive. Thank you for considering to support Beany and our community. Please subscribe to one of our two plans now!

Finally, thank you for being the kind of person who reads changelogs. Your support and engagement are what keep us going. We're truly grateful to have you as part of the Beany community!

Where to Drink Coffee is now a native iOS app based on Swift. This re-design from scratch brings you significantly better performance, user experience, and stability.

The overview map now shows you the best route to each cafe nearby. The map displayed on a coffee shop's page also gives you an estimate of how long it will take you to get there on foot.

Oh hi, you are the kind of person who reads release notes? Great! Beany has some great treats for you. In this release we have tackled some mean bean bugs that have been bothering us for months. (Fortunately no Hypothenemus hampei, but still.)
