Hey there! Not long ago, we handed you 3.1.0, and we figured Marius had earned a nap. Instead, he went straight back to the keyboard. Here is what he brewed up this time: - Fresh Feed Layout. A cleaner, redesigned feed that puts newly added specialty coffee shops front and center, the very second they land in our global database. Frederik does all the research and curation behind the scenes, and he is thrilled that his coffee-hunting is finally out in the open: now you can watch it unfold live, one delicious discovery at a time. - Smoother Check-ins. We gave the check-in a fresh coat of paint. Logging your daily cups is now faster, cleaner, and smoother than ever. Fewer taps between you and your coffee. - Tag your Friends. Time to loop in your coffee crew. You can now mention and tag fellow Beany Pros directly in the comments using the @ symbol. We look forward to reading some exhilarating discussions! We also tidied up a few small things behind the scenes. 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! We've been roasting something special in the Beany lab, and it's finally time to pour. Marius has been heads-down for weeks, and we are super stoked to finally hand 3.1.0 over to you. Here is what's brewing: • Reimagined Maps. Smart Markers now highlight Beany's favorites and your saved shops at a glance. Shop names appear instantly as you browse, and filters are built right into the map view. No more jumping between menus. • Search This Area. The map is your oyster. You no longer need to be physically standing in a neighborhood to see what it has to offer. Pan to any city or district, tap "Search This Area," and instantly refresh the results. Discover great coffee wherever your curiosity takes you. • Smarter Search. We've added Category Filters so you can find exactly what you're craving, and your Recent Results are now pinned for instant access. Fewer taps, more coffee. • iOS 26 Aesthetics & Performance. To celebrate the era of iOS 26, we've given Beany a fresh design overhaul that feels right at home on your device. It's not just about looks, though. The app is faster, smoother, and more responsive than ever. Thanks, Marius. You rock. • One for the 'gram. A beautiful new Instagram Sharepic for your reviews. When you find a shop that hits all the right notes, you can share the vibe with your followers in style. We will be at World of Coffee in Brussels from June 25-27. If you are planning to attend, please don't hesitate to send us a message. We would love to meet you in Brussels and share a cup with you. 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.

Bug fixes and small improvements here and there.

Hey there! Wait, what? Another update, just one month after the last? Yes, it's true. And we're excited to share the benefits of this update with you. Coffee Week Berlin invited us to be their official app partner, and Marius put in some serious coding hours to make it happen. After several all-nighters, the new app extension is ready: All events of this year's Coffee Week Berlin will be displayed in the app for everyone who is in Berlin at the time of CWB. However, that's not all: You can also search the event stages, even if they are not located at a specialty coffee place. We can't wait for you to experience this with us. If you're in Berlin, we're looking forward to meeting you at one of the satellite events or at the big Coffee Festival on September 26 and 27! As always, thank you very much for being the kind of person who reads release notes! Your support means the world to us!

Hey there! Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is a new version, released just a month after the last one. Not because of a bug, but because of new features. No joke. This is what happened: After Marius finished uploading the latest version last month, which allows Beany Pros to comment on other Pros' check-ins at coffee places, he thought to himself, "Wouldn't it be cool if people could also get notified when other Pros interact with their check-ins and comments? And wouldn't it be cool, too, if Beany Pros could reply to other Pros' comments?" Thus, he sat down and started coding. And here we are, with a new version only one month after the last. Beany and their team think that Marius rocks. We hope you agree. By the way, we absolutely adore how the Beany Pros among you have taken to liking and commenting on each other's check-ins. You folks are the best. Not a Pro yet? You might want to read this release note until the end. We mentioned the following last month, but you may not have had a chance to read it until now. (Hint: There is a treat.) We have received the news that we have been chosen to participate in the Frankfurt Coffee Festival this year. We will have our own Beany stall in the "Rösterrevier." If you are attending FCF, please don't hesitate to stop by and say hello. We always love meeting Beany Users and Beany Pros!

Hey there! Only four months ago, we launched a completely redesigned version of Beany. Since then, we have gained thousands of new users (and are still totally wowed by that). Over the last few weeks, we have received some intriguing feature requests. Therefore, Marius sat down to implement them right away: • Beany Pros can now not only like other Beany Pros' check-ins at coffee shops, but they can also comment on them. We look forward to reading some exhilarating discussions! • We are starting our newsletter "Spilling the Beans." Please sign up for it in the app to stay up to date with the latest developments at Beany. • Again, Marius addressed some minor bugs and improved the design, as well as security features. We have also just received the news that we have been chosen to participate in the Frankfurt Coffee Festival this year. We will have our own Beany stall in the "Rösterrevier."

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.

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! 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.

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.)
