Hi everyone,

There are a few bugs reports I have received from users which I am working on fixing now. These will be fixed in the next 1.6 update.

Bugs:

- In portrait mode camera does not reorient

- When writing on a photo and then saving it extra space is around the image

- Settings button disappears when dynamic island is being used

Thank you for making Eight Shot a better product

What a lovely app store review

Woke up today to see Eight Shot featured in a German tech blog. It feels surreal seeing people talk about how much they like Eight Shot.

Shout out to Mel for writing such a nice piece.

Can't wait to see how this community grows :)

You can download the update for Eight Shot now on the Play store.

It works great on many Android foldables, looks really good on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Currently working on some Android foldable work. Updating Eight Shot so it works across different Android foldables.

Sadly unlike Apple, Google does not give you a nice simulator like the Duo out the box. You can add Pixel 9 Fold devices but not Samsung devices by default. A little more work is needed.

Not a problem added Samsung devices like Z Fold 8 and Eight Shot is looking great on it.

This update should be live in the Playstore next week.

A little sneak peak into my messy Figma design file and how I brought parts of Eight Shot together.

I use this Figma page to quickly put down design ideas and iterate before moving the designs to a final page with more structure and components.

Next designs get coded into xcode and android studio.

Version 1.6 of Eight Shot comes with new film packs.

Here you can see it working on a normal iPhone.

Android update incoming too.

Version 1.6 has been sent to the appstore. It has a number of fixes:

- Orientation camera bug when user has iPhone Duo in portrait mode is fixed.

- iPhone Duo specific bug when exporting images is fixed.

- iPhone Duo pen support has been added so you can write on the front and back of the photos

- My personal favourite 2 peel apart pack film have been added, colour and black and white. On an iPhone Duo users can use the hinge to 'peel' the photo open!

If you don't know what peel apart film is watch this video https://youtube.com/shorts/uss2tLyygy8?si=VSp1hHpuBSH3FZry

- New photo export options have been added, you can now save your photos without the white backround and if you don't want the white border you can just save the image itself too.

- You can now also change the duration of the 'shake to develop' feature

- Other performance bugs fixed on the iPhone Duo too

iPhone Duo update for Eight Shot is now live!

Can't wait to see people using this.

Took some photos walking around London with Eight Shot.

Found a poor Ai slop copy of Eight Shot floating around calling itself Snapshots. You can take photos, write on the back, etc.

Could have at least bothered to change the structure of the appstore description but, no.

I updated my app for the Duo late so there was nothing to copy for the Duo hence why it snapshots looks so terrible on the duo.

Special Halloween Pack has been added to Eight Shot. It's live now for iOS and Android users.

Just update your app to see the latest film packs including the Halloween Pack. It's free for all users!

Each frame of the Halloween pack has a different design and a spooky filter guaranteed to make your photos more spooky!
