A visual refresh for your library, a smarter way to find coffee nearby, and a proper start for new beans. - A refreshed new look for every card: Bean and coffee spot photos now run edge to edge with a mirrored, blurred fade at the bottom, so no more washed-out strips just to fit a name and a chip. No photo yet? You get a soft, colour-matched gradient instead of a flat block. - Coffee Compass: Point your phone toward the nearest coffee shop and follow the arrow there! Nearest Spot and suggested nearby cafés are also more accurate now. Previously Beanie was picking places that matched "coffee" well over ones that were actually closest. - The Beanie Passport: A set of six simple stamps so getting started is much easier! - Roast level, at a glance: Bean detail now shows roast as a sleek dial instead of a plain label. - Faster everywhere: Scrolling your library no longer stutters, deleting a bean or spot is instant, and the app remembers your photos properly instead of occasionally losing their blur after sitting in the background. - Small things that add up: Roaster names autocomplete as you type a new bean, hold the app icon for a shortcut straight into Tumble Bean, your library header controls now use Liquid Glass, and Learn's lesson rows, origin map and processing dial all match the app's new card style. - I also made your data harder to lose and easier to recover if something ever does go wrong with auto-recovery tools showing up when needed.

Say hello to Learn Beanie now has a whole tab for understanding coffee. Five lessons cover roast levels, grind size, coffee types, brewing methods, and how origin shapes flavour. Better still, you can play with them. Slide through the roast levels and watch the taste profile shift. Break a cup on purpose with the wrong grind, then rescue it with a longer brew. Tell Beanie your coffee tastes sour and it'll tell you which way to turn the dial. And there's a fresh coffee fact waiting each time you visit. Also new: - Flavour Explorer has its own home now, so you can browse the wheel any time - Switch your Coffee and Spots libraries between tiles and a compact list - Deleting a bean or a spot asks you first - Set your grind on a coarseness slider instead of typing it The app has a cleaner look too: a crisp white background in light mode, true black in dark, and cards that carry a hint of their own colour. Plus the usual round of fixes. The roast slider stays put while you drag it, chips stay readable on every accent colour, and the library header no longer jumps when you switch layouts.

Tasting notes are now freeform. Type whatever comes to mind, pick from suggestions as you type, or dip into the flavour wheel and blend it with your own words. Prices now remember their currency, so a bean shared from a friend abroad won't suddenly look like it cost triple. Set your roast date right from the freshness card, no more digging through menus. New: Tumble Bean, a tiny tilt-controlled game tucked away in Settings, for when your coffee's still brewing. Now speaking Polish, plus proper English (UK) and English (US). A redesigned Add Bean screen, refreshed spot search, and a warmer accent colour throughout. Plus: iCloud sync is a bit more reliable with a good number of small fixes and polish across the app.
