Hey!
This update brings under the hood improvements to improve your experience.
4.0.3
2022-03-12
[ FIXED ]
- Integration with the Project Life app
4.0.2
2022-03-09
[ FIXED ]
- The Develop module would revert any changes made by users who were not on a subscription plan, or who had not purchased the Cutout feature (don't even ask how I messed that one up...)
4.0.1
2022-03-04
[ FIXED ]
- App would crash when launched from the iOS Photos app
- Restoring purchases would remove products granted for free to PTG Classic users
4.0.0
2022-03-01
[ NEW ]
- "PicTapGo+" is now simply "PicTapGo". We've also jumped straight to version 4.0 (to avoid confusion, hopefully, maybe, with PicTapGo Classic, which is still on version 3.x, and will be forevermore...)
- App Tracking Transparency - PicTapGo now prompts to allow us to share tracking data with other companies. We aren't doing anything creepy, we swear - just running some ads, and trying to measure their effectiveness. Please consider clicking Allow, as this helps us spend our marketing budget more effectively.
[ FIXED ]
- The Tone adjustment tool would only allow you to make changes to Blacks / Whites or Highlights / Shadows, but not both at the same time.
3.1.1
2022-02-17
[ FIXED ]
- If you had a lot of recipes that used AutoMask... well, PicTapGo didn't like that. But it's all good now.
3.1.0
2022-02-16
NEW in v3.0.0! AI-Powered background removal and replacement with the amazing Cutout feature!
[NEW]
- Added a tint slider in the Basics editor, for better control over color balance
- Option to show the Develop module for all images (not just raw). Set "Always Show Develop" to On in the PicTapGo+ Settings screen, and you'll find Develop under the Tools menu, rather than in the main editor menu bar (we had to bump it to make room for Cutout)
[FIXED]
- The Rewind editor would mess up your edit. Like, just totally bork it. But it works again.
3.0.0
2022-02-11
NEW! AI-Powered background removal and replacement with the amazing Cutout feature!
2.4.1
2021-10-28
Smacking down some bugs from the last couple releases...
[ FIXED ]
- Slider controls would change their value *very* slightly when you lifted your finger, making precise adjustments quite frustrating.
- AutoMask, when used with batch processing, would reuse the mask from the first image for the entire batch, leading to incorrect results for the rest of the batch.
- For some users (on iPads, in particular), the app would crash when scrolling through the filter grid.
- A few random little crashes, caused by esoteric little edge cases, that 99% of you never noticed.
[ IMPROVED ]
- PicTapGo+ no longer requires full access to your camera roll, and is perfectly happy with limited photo library access. Keep all those feet pics safely hidden away while you use your favorite editor. Or whatever. It's none of our business.
- Filter thumbnail scrolling and drawing performance should be greatly improved.
- Touch Tool performance should likewise be improved, and more stable.
[ MISC ]
- PicTapGo+ now requires iOS 14 or later. Apple's developer tools don't provide a way for us to test the app's rendering on iOS 13 or later without a physical device, and there ain't enough of y'all still on iOS 13 for me to justify keeping an old phone around just to support it. So... go update iOS :)
- PicTapGo no longer uses the obviously very misleading verbiage "Subscribe" on the subscribe button, but instead, per Apple's enlightened legal guidance, ALSO tells you that your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the billing period, in case this is your first time ever subscribing to a thing. We are working on fitting our entire Terms Of Use onto that button as well, but have been thus far frustrated by the limits of human vision, and the finite number of pixels available to cram disclaimers and legalese into a single screen of UI, all on a device you can hold in one hand. Please consider very carefully the weighty implications of pressing the big red button that pays our bills before you do so. Perhaps consult your financial advisor, ask for the advice of a few friends. Talk to your priest. Write a list of pros and cons. If you regret your decision, you'll be out like twenty bucks, which is money you could have otherwise used to purchase a genuine OEM cleaning cloth for your phone, so, ya know, it's a big decision.

- AutoBlur feature lets you add a blur to the background - powered by AI
- Intensity Touch Tool lets you bring out detail in specific areas of your photos
[ IMPROVED ]

- Fixed a situation where invalid data could cause your recipe library to disappear.
[ FIXED ]
- Misc UI bugs
- Images saved via save-in-place are now added to the PicTapGo album in your photo library
- (Maybe) black squares appeared on iPhone 7 when using the Basic Adjustments "Color" slider
2.3.0
2021-09-02
[NEW]

- Toggle favorite status and delete images in your iOS photo library, without leaving PicTapGo
- View image metadata, including type, file size, camera / lens / exposure data and more
- Option to save images directly back to your camera roll, non-destructively, instead of saving a copy each time
[IMPROVED]
- Better memory usage on older devices, with new options for forcing 8-bits-per-pixel rendering, and limiting the pixel count of the output image (for those of you trying to process 60 MP images on your phone, you maniacs)
- Output filenames for sharing now have a timestamp appended, to avoid filename collisions
- The Curves tool now has a handy histogram display, just like Levels
- Importing recursive recipes from PicTapGo Classic is now supported
[FIXED]
- The straighten angle slider in the crop screen would sometimes display the wrong value
- Sliders in the Colors (Hue / Sat) editor would sometimes initialize to the wrong values when re-editing a recipe step
- Misc UI nits
- AutoMask was unavailable for purchase without a subscription in v2.2.0

2.1.4
2021-06-27
[ IMPROVED ]

- Intensity tool wouldn't render sometimes if stacked with multiple filters
- Preview image would initially appear at low resolution / quality in the app extension

2021-05-21
[ FIXED ]
- Image edges would appear lighter than they should be when using the shadows filter / adjustment.
2.1.1
2021-05-19
[ FIXED ]
- Images that used the Intensity filter would sometimes render incorrectly when saving the final image (due to what we're going to generously call "quirky" behavior with Apple's Core Image framework, and which, officially, is not a bug in iOS, but only in the same sense that this Vietnamese iced coffee I just drank isn't "officially" a schedule 1 narcotic, even though I feel like I could run straight up the side of this building and punch an airliner right now if I wanted to).
