1.5.5 2025/09/22 Welcome to Spectre 1.5.4! This update brings support to all of the latest and greatest iPhones — full 5× tetraprism support, extra tweaks and fixes and more. Spectre is still the best app for long exposures on iPhone, and we'll keep on making it better and great on the latest hardware.
We hope you love this update — if you love our app, consider leaving us a review or rating in the App Store. It helps us a lot!

1.5.4 2023/10/10 This update improves the experience if you only grant limited photo library access. It also fixes some issues with the interface on very small phones. Of course it also contains all the awesome stuff from our big 1.5 release!
---
We're excited to launch this major update to Spectre, allowing you to capture long exposures up to 30 seconds! We've also improved support for the latest Apple devices. This upgrade is FREE to anyone who has already purchased Spectre.
We're also adding a "Pro" unlock within the app that adds a few more goodies, such as a custom icon. Again, if you've already purchased Spectre, this doesn't unlock any new capture features. If you already paid for Spectre, upgrading to Pro just unlocks a few perks as a small thank you for supporting Spectre's continued development.
We're excited to get this update out there, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Please let us know what you think by emailing support@lux.camera, or message us on BlueSky, Mastodon, Threads, Instagram, Twitter, or aldis lamp. And don't forget to tag your photos #SpectreShot for a chance to be featured!

1.5.0 2023/07/18 This small update improves compatibility with the latest iPhones. On iPhone 13 Pro, the telephoto lens is properly labeled "3x" instead of "2.5x." We've also addressed other small bug bugs.
1.1.11 2022/05/12 This small update fixes a few bugs in iOS 14.3. If you’re running an iPhone 12 Pro Max, you’ll find that the telephoto lens now properly displays 2.5x instead of 2x. If you have any bug reports or general feedback, please let us know at support@lux.camera.
1.1.10 2021/01/15 If you're upgrading to iOS 14, this update should resolve any issues you might have if you set Spectre's photo access permissions to "Limited."
We apologize if you run into an issue running Spectre for the first time after upgrading; you may be shown the opening tutorial launch, and then prompted for photo library permissions. The surprise release of iOS 14 caught us a bit off guard, so a bug fix didn't make the cut. We promise to do a better job planning around these surprises in the future.
Unrelated, we have some exciting things to announce in the next few weeks. Make sure you're following @halidecamera on Twitter!
1.1.9 2020/09/21 This update adds official support for the new iPhone SE!
If you have any feedback, let us know through the link in the description. You can also reach out to @halidecamera on Twitter. Happy shooting!

1.1.8 2020/04/24 Thank you for supporting Spectre, Apple’s iPhone App of the Year of 2019! In this update, we've fixed an issue adding and removing Siri Shortcuts from within settings, along with other small bug fixes.
If you have any bug reports or other feedback, feel free to either email support or send us a message directly on Twitter at @HalideCamera.
Stay tuned. We have an exciting year ahead!

1.1.7 2020/03/30 We couldn't have built the iPhone App of the Year without your kind words and support. We’re humbled by the recognition, your kind reviews and messages, and your beautiful images. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
This update fixes a crash that happens when iCloud has trouble syncing. We've also fixed a color bug in the "About" screen. If you have any bugs or general feedback, please let us know at support@halide.cam.

1.1.4 2019/09/25 This small update improves focus when shooting in low-light, and some localization bugs. But we've got bigger things in the works, so watch this space!
1.1.3 2019/09/01 感谢您帮助Spectre取得如此巨大的成功！我们很高兴发布基于您的反馈的重大更新。
人工智能稳定技术现支持iPhone 7、6S和SE！手持拍摄的照片的清晰度会显著提高。只需要等待“稳定”字样亮起再拍摄即可。
拍摄灯光轨迹时，我们为所有设备提高了稳定性。在不牺牲质量的前提下做到这一点废了一番功夫，但是我们认为很值得。
我们提高了与您的实况照片一起保存的视频的分辨率。这意味着当您返回编辑长曝光或分享视频时有更多细节。您还不知道可以分享视频？只需要点击照片查看器底部的影片分享按钮即可。
对于有视力障碍的用户，我们大幅改进了语音旁白支持。
最后，我们修复了一些小错误。我们改进了保存在图片里的元数据，从而可以显示正确的持续时间。我们修复了最严重的崩溃问题。我们还在各处增加了一些打磨。
喜欢此次更新吗？修复了您遇到过的问题？或者就是喜欢Spectre？如果您能留下评价，我们将十分感激，这对于我们很有帮助。
如果我们有疏漏之处，请发邮件到support@chromanoir.com，我们乐于提供帮助。

1.1.2 2019/04/15 Thank you for helping make Spectre such a success! We're excited to release this hefty update based on your feedback.
AI Stabilization is now available to iPhone 7, 6S and SE users! Handheld shots will be significantly sharper. Just wait for "STABLE" to light up, and snap away.
When shooting light trails, we've increased stabilization on all devices. It took some work to do this without compromising quality, but we think the wait was worth it.
We've increased the resolution of the video we save as part of your live photo. That means more details when you go back to edit the long exposure, or share the video. You didn't know you could share the video? Just tap the movie-share button in the bottom of our photo reviewer.
For our vision impaired users, we've significantly improved voiceover support.
Finally, we've fixed a bunch of small things. We improved the metadata we save in images, so they show the right duration. We've fixed our top crash, and fixed some bugs in Dutch localization. More localizations are coming soon!
Enjoy the update? Fixed an issue you had? Or just love Spectre? We’d love it if you left us a review. It helps us a lot.
If we missed something, please email us at support@chromanoir.com, and we're happy to help.
