> The macOS version of Bear 2.0 is a separate subscription with the same pricing as the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch versions.

Is this definitely correct? It’s 2x £30 subscriptions now one for iOS one for macOS vs one subscription for *all* platforms like it was before?

Not sure that’s right… if it is… then that’s quite the price hike.

@daveycraney @macstories I paid a yearly fee of about 15 pounds and I got all versions in with that. Definitely not extra*.

edit*. I'm now doubting myself. I may have paid a one off fee for the Mac.

@daveycraney @macstories I have also read that people who have a subscription, you will continue to pay the amount you currently pay. The increase is for new subscribers I think.

@sinky @macstories

Yep, that’s what I read. Existing subs stay the same price, and on my current sub I still get all versions. The bear site says bear pro is for all platforms as well. Even for new subscribers.

This just seems like a reporting mistake that needs to be corrected.

@daveycraney @macstories I just edited my reply as I started doubting I got it for one fee. I didn't know if I had paid a one off fee for the Mac version. I’m getting old and my memory sometimes plays up 😁
