What's New in Photrail
v5.2.1
August 30, 2026
This update fixes a crash introduced in 5.2.0. If Photrail was quitting shortly after you opened it, and doing it again every time you reopened it, this release fixes that. The cause was two trips that began on the same day being treated as one, which stopped the app during the scan it runs at launch. Your trips, photos and settings were never affected, and nothing was lost. If you turned off Trip Insights to get the app working again, you can turn it back on in Profile. Sorry for the disruption, and thank you to the person who sent the crash report that pinpointed it.
