Frustrated Bean User. Can't connect to beans any more. Even before, limited ability to interact with my 5 set of beans.

It's a lovely companion for the lightblue bean.

Does what its supposed to, but after two years, you still can't have the Bean print data into this app, you have to code your own app and they haven't released one or updated this to support that despite that capability having been in the SDK for about a year. In my mind this feature is FAR more important than having the capability to upload code from the android since most people don't hate themselves enough to code from their phone. not only that but it isn't very stable.

Update to target Android 7.0 and I might grant a permission like location if you explain why. Instead permission denied outright.
