What's New in Swatches

1.1

January 10, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Image import is here! We've received a lot of really great feature requests over the past few weeks but by far the most requested was image import from the camera roll. The people have spoken! We're happy to announce that as of 1.1 you can now Swatch any image in your camera roll! Thank you all for your support (and feedback sent to andrew@swatchesapp.io). We hope your 2018 is full of color!
