4.4
2022-09-08
We have made some updates so that the app stays compatible with what's coming your way.
4.3.1
2022-03-25
Version 4.3.1 fixed some bugs and addressed a few issues that affected performance:
* Some users were seeing original filter for CN-400 and CR-800 film effects. Fixed.
* The camera might get stuck when switching between front- and rear-facing cameras. Fixed.
* The app might become irresponsive upon first launch. Fixed. Switching film presets now feels a lot smoother, too, as a result.
* The app might read location data more frequently than necessary. Fixed. Now HRZN only receives location updates when you move off a certain distance on earth, and it saves some battery life in the process.
* Some users were having issues when saving photos. Fixed.
We have some more updates on the way. Stay tuned!
