August 20, 2026

4.02 * Device and settings details can now be optionally included within messages to me via Email or WhatsApp. 4.0 * Image rendering now uses the GPU where possible resulting in a 3x improvement in speed. * Shooting Star mode has been overhauled and now has a much more prominent leading star. I would be very grateful if you could leave a review/rating and if you have any feedback, please contact me via email which can be found on the Info page within the app.

Keeps shutting down

Attempting to use the stacker on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. App continues to shutdown when you begin to stack. Not many options out there for an iPhone to stack.

honestly best of its kind

Skip using pc to stacking, this works much better for video. Would be good to have the option of exporting live photo.
