## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.6 — 2026-09-07

• Sharper scans: the camera now shoots at your device's highest resolution
• Focus help: when a scan looks soft, get a hint to move back — or retake with the 0.5× lens on supported iPhones
• Smarter quality check: blur and glare are now measured inside the frame guide, right where your film is
• Camera reliability improvements across devices

### 1.6.5 — 2026-07-24

• Updated the App Store screenshots to better show FilmBloom on iPhone and iPad.

### 1.6.4 — 2026-07-11

• Make it film: pick any photo from your gallery and give it the full film treatment — Looks, frames, captions, date stamps — no negative needed.
• Opt-in "Shot on FilmBloom" mark: add a subtle brand mark to your exports if you like. Off by default, always your choice.
• Fewer interruptions: removed the banner ad from the editor and made ads show less often.

### 1.6.3 — 2026-07-07

• One-tap Looks: apply a complete film style — '90s Disposable, SX-70, Instax Mini, Portra Strip — then fine-tune anything.
• Caption your prints: add a short line of text in the chin of instant-print frames, like a handwritten note.
• Everything stays editable after applying a look — frames, borders, date stamp, film stock, and more.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-07-03

• Make every export yours — fully customizable photo frames and date stamp.
• Date stamp: 4 colors, 4 corner positions, 3 sizes, new retro formats, and a soft vintage glow.

• Film-strip frames now show authentic film-stock branding (Kodak, Fujicolor, Ilford, CineStill) and real frame numbers.
