fixing a bug for 10th Gen iPads (a bug that we introduced with the previous release - sorry!)
4.4.2 08/07/2024
Fixed a bug related to new iPads with landscape front-facing cameras.
Cheers!
4.4.1 11/06/2024
The main fix in this release is related to auto-printing.
There was a bug introduced in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 that broke auto-printing. Your photos would still print, but from the 2nd print onward, the photos would print smaller than anticipated. This is still a bug in the operating system, but we have sorted out a workaround that is included in this release.
In other news, we spent some time fixing bugs you probably never encounter, and we also updated all included libraries to their most recent version.
NOTE: we wanted all existing users to get these updates and fixes so we did not raise the minimum OS version. But our next release will raise the minimum to iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. (currently, the minimum OS version is iOS 9)
Thanks!

We updated a bunch of underlying code as well as fixed a few printing bugs that had been reported and a bug related to remote shutters. Hope everyone is holding up amid masks and quarantines. Cheers!

We are pleased to announce we've added our most requested feature: printing your photostrip multiple times per page.
In the past, your photostrip would be printed by itself in the middle of the page. Now you can select 2-up or 3-up prints which means the current photostrip gets printed in duplicate or triplicate on the same page. This way, you waste less paper, and you can share your extra strips with friends at your event. This feature is included in the Event Pack (formerly Party Pack) in-app purchase. Those of you who have already purchased this item will get this feature for free. Also included in the Event Pack is the ability to add some padding to any of the edges of the strip(s) when printing. This helps account for variations in printers and ensures your strips don't get accidentally cut off when printing.
We've also made a few updates to ensure things continue to run smoothly with iOS 12.
Happy boothing!

Quick fix for an issue that only shows up on iPhone X: previously, MMSing a photo was impossible due to a hidden To: field.
That's been fixed. Enjoy!
4.1.1 31/01/2018
Welcome, iPhone X,
Your bright OLED face.
Goodbye home button,
Your Notch, we embrace.
This update includes lots of behind the scenes fixes but most noticeably, we've made everything look pretty on iPhone X, should you be lucky enough to have scored one.
Cheers!
4.1 02/11/2017
iOS 11 is here!
And Pocketbooth is ready. Twitter and Facebook sharing have been removed as 1st-class citizens from iOS, and as a result, we've rearranged our quick-access sharing options. We added MMS sharing as well as a button you can use to access all the system-wide sharing options (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc).
(That was the info for 4.0 - this 4.0.1 version fixes a tiny little bug that we're fairly certain you never experienced)
Enjoy!

A few quick fixes:
- remote shutter (for Party Pack purchasers) is now working correctly again
- overlapping elements in Settings screen have been sorted out
Thanks!

As the result of some great customer feedback, we have added a few more options for (longer) shot delays.
Also due to customer feedback, we have ever-so-slightly changed the behavior of how the red light works in the app. Previously, the red light would stay illuminated during the entire sequence of shots. Now, the red light only illuminates the second before each photo is taken. As if to say, "hold your pose!" This is attempt to address the frequently requested visual countdown. Because we have chosen to assume many of the same (beautiful, we would say) constraints of the vintage booths this app aims to replicate, we do not have plans to add a visual countdown. HOWEVER, this tweak to the red light behavior should address some of the same concerns. If you simply MUST have a visual countdown, we invite you to check out our iPad photobooth app, Pocketbooth Party. ;)
Finally, there were, as always, some behind-the-scenes bug fixing that you probably won't even notice. But that's how much we care. Cheers!

We are sad to announce the Print & Ship service will be removed from the app beginning on April 30. The Print & Ship service was one of our favorite features as it bridged the gap between the digital and physical worlds, and completed the old-school photobooth experience, albeit a few days later.
Undeterred, Pocketbooth marches on. The good news is that in the meantime, printing has gotten a lot better on iOS, so it is easier than ever to print your strips at home - at a significant cost savings. :)
Thanks to all of you who ordered strips over the past few years. We hope the joy of receiving your strip by mail approximated, in some small way, the joy of seeing a strip of photos emerge from the side of a photobooth.
Onward!
3.4 30/04/2017
So long iOS 7 support, we loved thee well!
We are moving our minimum-supported OS to iOS 8, but fret not all you have to do is upgrade your version of iOS to keep on boothing.
This update also includes some printing improvements and minor bug fixes.
Enjoy!

Dearest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users,
We apologize to any of you who might have been seeing an errant spinner when taking photos. As it turns out, the new phones are soooo fast (a little plug for Apple) the app was getting ahead of itself. (the risks of the cutting edge!) We've reinstated order and things should be all good now.
Thanks for your understanding!
- the Management
PS We've also fixed a few other bugs for good measure.
3.2 06/11/2015
Greetings, Citizens of Earth.
We are super-excited about this release. One of the difficulties in printing strips is the inability to see what it will look like in advance. Good news: we've added a brand new print preview that will dramatically improve your printing satisfaction. You can now see how the strip lays out on the paper prior to printing - no more guessing!
But that's not all, we've included some other nice updates. Since we know you love listicles, here are "New Features in Pocketbooth 3.1 - You're Not Going to Believe #3":
1) Print Preview
2) Remote Shutter support added to the Party Pack (in-app purchase)
3) iOS9-related updates
4) Some bugsmashes (not to be confused with dubsmashes)
Cheers!
- the Pocketbooth Team

EGADS! There was a bug with ordering Prints as of iOS 8 and we just realized it. Many apologies to those of you who have tried to order unsuccessfullly and thanks to the few folks who contacted us when they discovered the problem.
This is now fixed. Happy New Year.
If you're wondering whether you were affected or not, you would have seen a cryptic error after you tried to order a print. It would have been something like this: "blah blah blah (NULL)". This is now fixed. You are now able to Print & Ship again.
That is all.
***New in Version 3.0.1***
A quick release to provide better instructions for users who have not given Pocketbooth permission to access the camera. (spoiler: it is in Settings > Privacy > Camera)
***New in Version 3.0***
We are so excited about the arrival of iOS 8. Many of the features we had planned from the very beginning of Pocketbooth are now possible thanks to new technologies included in iOS 8.
First, we've enabled background printing for Pocketbooth. Once you've set up your AirPrint printer, you no longer have to keep selecting it each time you print. Simply tap the print button and it prints! (just as you would expect)
Second, we've added a Party Pack in-app purchase that turns Pocketbooth into a party booth. AutoPrint automatically AirPrints your photo after every shot. Party Mode keeps the app on the Pose screen for non-stop photo taking. When both of these options are turned on, you have the perfect party machine. Guests can sit one right after the other and printouts are made immediately after the photostrip is taken.
Third, we've done some bug fixing and the app is now fully iOS 8 compatible.
Enjoy!

3.0 30/09/2014
Greetings.
Though the app has been compatible with iOS7 for some time, it didn't have iOS7 coursing through its veins. Now it does. You'll notice the newer keyboard and alert stylings.
Other than that, this update is mostly related to problems you probably didn't even know were problems. Well, they are fixed now. That's just how much we care.
Onward through the fog!
2.1.2 01/08/2014
This minor update adds a new Settings panel that gives you more control when AirPrinting your Pocketbooth strips. Now when you AirPrint a photostrip, you can choose Normal Mode, Photo Mode, and we're pleased to announce that Pocketbooth has been optimized for ZINK hAppy printers with the, you guessed it, ZINK hAppy Mode.
ZINK hAppy printers can print actual strips! (strips that are stickers, no less)
Happy Holidays!
