Bean is toast
Now that http://wearecocoon.co.uk/ is officially out of business (subpages are still working) did anybody try to get a refund in the App Store?
Edit
I just opened a fraud case with Apple support: http://reportaproblem.apple.com/
It would be nice if Steve could Open Source the app and let someone take over or fork it
I’d say that would be the most fair outcome at this point.
It’s unfortunate. Bean had great promise. I’m still trying to decide on my permanent replacement.
Took a look at Avelon, and even bought lifetime. Had to refund it, because dev isn’t reacting since 4 month 😂
Currently I am using voyager, which is okay-ish. There is also arctic which is a native App for a change.
Luckily only grabbed a lifetime in the TestFlight.
I am quite relaxed: 35 bucks for a lifetime update of an App is still quite cheap and I spent more for worse 😅
That they allegedly sold 1.000+ licenses without communicating their downfall is what lead me to involve Apple Support for a complaint.
Thanks. I reported it too. I have written off the money, but the principle remains. Scammers will keep scamming and should be squashed.
I would not call them scammers.. heck, their whole business went down the drain.
Generally I would agree, and give them the benefit of the doubt, but it smells too fishy. A lot of goodwill was pumped up during testflight, but went dead very soon after money got involved, almost a full 180 and with barely a word afterwards. For all intents and purposes they still took the money and ran
