Bimmercode account?

Anybody have a paid Bimmercode account I can just use? I'm willing to paypal you or e transfer $10 bucks or so just to use your account.

Thanks!

I don’t think you can do that. Bimmercode is tied to your gmail account (or whatever account your android phone is linked to on google play). It doesn’t have a separate sign in I believe.

Oh I see what you mean. Welp, it was worth a try I guess 😄

Yup. So even if I change to an Apple product and use the same email ID, I’ll still need to buy the app all over again.

Really? I think it's linked to your Apple id so if you open the app on a different device you should be able to restore your purchase. I think it's if you switch platforms like to android then you would have to buy a new subscription

Yup. That’s what I meant. But my Apple ID and android ID are the same. I asked Stephan but he said I’d need to buy a new app if I want to use it on my iPad (I use it on my android phone now).

Unfortunately this is true with pretty much all the things. Like buying a Playstation game, you still need to buy it on PC and XBOX if you want to play on those other system. Not in all cases, as MS has the "Play everywhere" program, but this is typically true across stores like Play and App Store. Not a Bimmercode issue, as there has to be a sale in the other store to allow distribution of the app, and Stephan would be on the hook to pay Apple their share of the sale.

Ah. I didn’t say it was an issue. Just that that was how it worked. I don’t use gaming consoles so I had no idea
