Looks Library + Pixel Scaler — every retro system, now faster than ever. • 21 one-tap Looks based on iconic games — Tetris (Game Boy), Super Mario Bros (NES), Castlevania, Sonic, Out Run, Lemmings, and 15 more. Each Look bundles the system, palette, kernel and FX into one tap. • New Pixels FX — slide engine resolution from 5% to 200% for chunkier output or finer detail. Works live on the camera and on still photos. • Save your own Presets — arcade-style 5-letter dial for naming (drag, type, or Randomise). Long-press any preset to rename or delete. • Pro: Customise the watermark — hide it, replace it with your handle, pick the corner, tune the opacity. • Pro: Save your dither as a Lock-Screen wallpaper at your device's native resolution. • Settings → Suggestions & Feedback — a fast way to send us notes; it lands straight in our studio Slack. Plus: massive live-camera speed-ups across every retro system (C-64, NES, Apple II, Atari, Mac 128K, MSX, Amiga, ZX Spectrum…), faster video uploads, tap the camera view to exit the FX panel, and a few hundred smaller polish fixes.
