### 5/5 — 版本1.1.0有bug

*2026-08-24*

13mini  ios18.7.8  开启闪光灯根没开一样，但是拍照时闪光灯还是工作了，照片却没有开闪光灯的效果

### 4/5 — 灵动岛

*2026-08-16*

感觉灵动岛没用上，可以学一下picocam

### 5/5 — 使用感受

*2026-08-16*

很清新简约的一款软件，拍立得的感觉非常nice～
请问是否可以增加：1.胶片日期水印是否可以自定义编辑，或者在导入照片的时候直接按照照片详情里的时间来？2.主界面/导入照片后，直接编辑拍立得样式？

### 4/5 — 在屏幕上能选择拍摄比例就更好了
