Fixing bug that prevented transition from testcard list to the actual card. It has been traced to new code that was used to update from definitions that are being retired by Apple. Part of keeping the app fresh for new versions of iOS. We mishandled how the new types now need to be stored. Seemed to work on updated apps but not fresh installs.
A big thanks to the user who reported this as the app seemed to be working when on our phone and simulator.

Bug fix for moving from testcard list to testcards. We think an old style on one of the user interfaces caused it to exit in some cases. If you still have this problem and can tell us more please email
[email protected] to help us solve this. We're a small developer and can't buy every phone, sorry, but we do test different phones in the simulator. Thank you.

* Virtual Blue Filter - a new innovation from J.S. Technology to assist with testcard use.
* General iOS updates.
Something we've long wanted to add to TestCard ProHD and now we have enabled using the built in camera to be used as a blue filter.
Remember, with TestCard ProHD you get this update without having to "buy the disc" again as you would with DVD or Blu Ray testcards!

* New sections for Expanded Black TV.
* iPad Pro Support.
We're finding that some screens require calibration from the PC range of colors rather than Normal TV because of where their reference black is. So we've added new sections where we've adapted the existing test cards for brightness and contrast to work of the Extended Black / PC black reference.
The reason for this may be that the source and screen are automatically setting for "Extended Black", or "HDMI Full Range". Some screens will have this as an option which can be switched on or off, and it seems that some are now doing this automatically. In order to offer the correct test cards we've added cards to suit based upon the cards already provided, and updated instructions for them.
We've always intended TestCard ProHD to expand whenever someone asks for test cards to be added, and this is exactly what we're doing. There's no extra charges for these new cards - they're all delivered as part of the existing access. Simply update the app to get the new cards and there's no need to re-purchase as you would with DVD / Blu Ray based test cards.
Also adding support for iPad Pro. Essentially just adjusting placements to suit the larger screen.
