  • v8.0.4 Patch
    Jan 25, 2025
    What has been fixed/changed?
    • iOS Screenshot is working again
    • You can sort your beans now for remaining weight
    • Varia AKU Mini is now supported (Maybe Varia needs to publish a new Firmware)
    • Specially for poor performance devices: An experimental feature has been added, where you can set the refresh-rate of the graph to minimize lagging
    • You can enable a new setting for “1 of 2 cups on the scale”, if you want to do a split shot, but your scale just can handle one scale - The function will double the incoming weight.
    • You can now select a connection mode for Acaia scales on iOS. If you’re experiencing issues with older models and the new connection routine, you can revert to the previous “V1” mode in the settings.
  • v8.0.3 Patch
    Jan 12, 2025
    What has been fixed?
    • Bean-sharing link has been fixed again.
    • Autostart from pressure threshold sometimes ended in an stop after some seconds, because the weight of the scale still reported like 150g in the first 0.1s/0.2s, and therefore auto stop logic from Beanconqueror triggered.
    • Fixing listening mode for the AKU Micro scale, to not start immediately when weight was not zero.
    • Removing multiple unneeded permissions which came from the migration from Cordova to Capacitor which somehow slipped. - Just Android. Thanks @RagingCactus for the continuous support here.
      • Using the Capacitor-App Launcher instead of InAppBrowser (which required a lot of unneeded permissions) - Just Android. Thanks @RagingCactus for this change.
    • Added some more loggings for NFC, after some NFC-Chips didn’t work.
  • v8.0.2 Patch
    Jan 5, 2025
    What has been fixed?
    • On Android with specific setups Acaia scales had a connect/disconnect loop - I’ve switched back the connection logic to the old routine) (Sidenote: For iOS there where no reportings, and they will still take the new connection way, which has been tested on a iPhone 15 and iPad 10 with Pearl S and Lunar 2021 without encountering those)
    • On iOS I’ve set up the delay to show “no weight” to 4 sec instead of 2.5, because on test side the weight has been sent, but when connecting the first time, it sometimes took 3 sec (where the popup already has been displayed)
  • v8.0.1 Patch
    Jan 4, 2025
    What has been fixed?
    • You can choose again transparent images
    • You can copy the bean-link directly via copy
