- No graphical interface not to respond to unexpected operation. - Seamless loop playing. - Pausing option by long press. This simple movie player is developed for showing movies continuously on iPhone / iPad as digital signage.

You just set your movies (.mov or .mp4) from iTunes File Sharing, and then relaunch this app. The movies will be played in ascending order of the file names. You can select the play mode (Aspect Fit or Aspect Fill), and optional long press pause mode for controlling pause and replay by exhibitors easily. You can change the modes from Settings in iOS.

Lunark turns your iPhone telephoto into a moon camera that actually works on the night you need it. Point at the moon, tap once, and a few seconds later the photo on your screen is sharp enough to share. No ISO charts to learn, no tripod hunt, no spinning processing screen that loses the moment. - One tap captures and stacks five frames into a clean handheld shot - Handheld stacking holds up at high zoom, so you can leave the tripod at home - Exposure is set from tonight's phase, not from the black sky, so the moon is not a white blob - Tonight's shooting window tells you when the moon is high enough to be worth a long lens - Phase, altitude, and illumination are computed on device and work fully offline - Export full-quality files for the shots you want to keep Privacy Policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTDX9pxPOlUJl_skVUHPi99mAw0y2B2BYd_v1mJkoF3xW3rlOcW5KlYd4t93MMbbGhctSTnBTy7d_l6/pub Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
