We love your feedback and we update Motif regularly in response to it! Here’s what’s new in this release:
We now remember your last used font choices and use them as defaults when creating new text boxes. This makes it much easier to use fonts you’ve selected across a large project.
You can now remove an image from a page simply by dragging it off the edge of the page. This is an alternative to choosing a pre-designed page layout with fewer images.
Text box borders and handles are now colored pink (vs yellow) when you are interactively editing page layouts. This makes it easier to differentiate text boxes from image boxes.
We fixed a bug in which some images could not be dragged from the image tray to the page after using the remove image from project command.
We fixed a bug that could, in rare cases, cause Motif to crash during the file assembly or file upload steps of the checkout process.

We love your feedback and we update Motif regularly in response to it! Here’s what’s new in this release:
We’ve added full iCloud backup support! This means that, if you upgrade to a new iPhone or iPad, your Motif projects will be automatically restored to your new device when you set it up.
We’ve added support for iOS project sharing! Now your Motif projects will automatically be shared between any iPhones or iPads that use the same Apple ID. So, wherever you go, and whatever Apple mobile device you’re on, your Motif projects will go with you!
Please note that both of the above features work only if you are running iOS 15 or above, connect to iCloud with the same Apple ID, have iCloud Backup turned on, and have Motif enabled for backup. These settings can all be found on the iCloud page of the Settings app for your device. These settings are usually enabled by default.
We fixed a bug in which loading “spinners” could interrupt the checkout process when ordering projects that use many images not on your local device.
