• Fixed an issue where filenames uploaded to S3 contained unreadable characters; filenames are now formatted cleanly (e.g. 2016-12-20_223701.jpg)
• Photos and videos are now saved directly to your device's Photo Library instead of internal app storage, freeing up space and making media easier to access
• Added a notification when LumaBooth is unable to save files due to insufficient device storage, so no captures are lost silently
• LumaBooth now cleans up any media previously stored in the app's internal directory on startup

This release focuses on reliability improvements — making sharing buttons easier to tap, photo uploads more resilient during connectivity issues, and the camera more dependable on all supported devices.

Sharing & Printing

• Improved the touch target alignment on all sharing and print buttons, making them significantly easier to tap
• Added visual tap feedback on sharing buttons so you immediately know your tap was registered

Photo Uploads

• Improved upload retry behavior so the app waits between attempts when the server is temporarily unavailable, preventing excessive network requests

Camera

• Resolved an issue where the camera could fail to start when accessed from Camera Settings on certain iPad models

Welcome Screen

• Fixed the welcome screen preview in Settings so it accurately shows the full screen layout, including correct cropping and capture button positioning

This release brings meaningful improvements to subscription reliability, the template and text editing experience, camera behavior, and overall session stability.

Subscription & Connectivity

• Resolved an issue where the app displayed a subscription prompt after restarting without an internet connection, even when a valid subscription was already purchased — subscription status is now saved locally so it remains active offline

Template Editor

• Fixed an issue where text elements appeared above photo layers despite being ordered below them in the template
• Resolved a crash that could occur when dragging to reorder template layers
• Improved the behavior when a template has no photo layers — the session no longer continues indefinitely, and the editor now prompts you to add at least one photo before proceeding

Text Editing

• Fixed the color picker opacity slider, which could appear out of range when first opening the text color editor
• Resolved an issue where the color picker stopped working after the login or account creation flow until the app was restarted
• Improved text editing so changes update in real time and are saved when the keyboard is dismissed
• Text layers are now added to the center of the template by default
• Fixed an issue where text was incorrectly stretched horizontally when added to a template
• Font name now displays as a styled dropdown rather than a plain text box for a cleaner editing experience

Camera

• Improved camera preset selection — the front camera now automatically uses the Photo preset to match its lower resolution, while the back camera uses the High preset for better quality

Session & Retake

• Improved the retake function so that pressing Retake cancels only the most recent photo and restarts that photo's countdown, rather than restarting the entire session from the beginning

Stability

• Fixed several crashes that could occur during normal use

This release brings a range of improvements and refinements to LumaBooth, enhancing reliability and the overall experience for photographers at every type of event.
