Beam Smart Presence

"I've been using Beam for 7 years now, and both the app and its iOS version have been nothing short of excellent for me. I primarily use it in an advanced manufacturing lab at a major university for seamless communication with vendors and colleagues worldwide. It performs flawlessly. One minor hiccup I encountered was with Google's federated sign-in, but this was easily solved by using an email and password instead. The tech support has been outstanding. I highly recommend Beam to anyone looking for a reliable communication tool, especially in professional or academic settings."

The app doesn’t let you login through google. If your account was set up that way, you’re out of luck. It just returns a network error

Authentication with Beam’s servers is broken due to expired certificates

Back in April of last year, I reached out to support at SuitableTech (which has since been acquired). They told me that they’d part ways with whatever ios dev resource they had due to the pandemic. But just today (1/25), they followed up on my support ticket to tell me they have contracted an ios developer to update the app. I am hoping this is true and will continue to update as I get news. For now, still have to keep my 1-star rating... But I am itching to increase the stars once an update is released!

This app no longer works for me. It complains during login about a problem with the server security certificate. Sad.

Could you at least release the source code so that we can update the certificate ourselves?

Seriously, suitabletech - how long does it take to fix this expired certificate problem and re-submit? The app no longer works -at all - and will not until suitable submits an update. This is hugely annoying - especially during a pandemic when being able to access our beams is critical. Very disappointed that beam has not solved this problem.

No app fixes in years but in a correspondence through email Beam asked me to drop almost 4 grands for an enhanced package to unlock extended video conferencing time. Pure theft.

It seems the company is no longer updating the software. This was such a great tool to have! :’(

Great when it works. However app seems to crash upon launch on occasion.
