## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-08-13

APO 2.1 refines the look catalog for a more natural, photographic finish with smoother tonal transitions, better highlight protection, subtler grain, and more balanced color.

This update also improves capture and export reliability, photo orientation, video recording, and introduces a refreshed app icon.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-07-28

APO 2.0.1 refreshes the app icon with a new photographic identity.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-23

APO 2.0 delivers more natural cinematic looks, adjustable intensity, full-resolution HEIF photos, and filtered video with optional audio. It also improves capture stability, orientation, export reliability, and APO Premium with monthly or annual plans.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-09

APO 1.4 adds annual APO Premium, and improves capture/export stability instrumentation.

APO Premium now supports monthly and annual options. Filter prewarming now waits until the camera is ready, with additional stability logging around capture, preview rendering, export, and save flows.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-04

APO 1.3 refines the app’s cinematic look system.

This update introduces new visual styles, a more organic color pipeline, and improved separation between black-and-white looks.

We also adjusted sharpness, highlights, halation, contrast, and film grain so filters feel less digital and more natural across photo and video.

Includes general stability improvements and better consistency between preview and final export.
