BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, March 23, 2025

FYI, because the next update of Photosets, v11.5, will represent the app's 400th App Store App Review Approval, we've decided to go live with "Advanced Features" in it, rather than wait till v11.6.

And here's the kicker, except for New Screenshots, we can have everthing else ready to go by day's end.

News Update : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, March 22, 2025

Three things to announce today:

1.) We've made an important decision regarding our Business Strategy for Photosets.

We're gonna keep the Base version priced at $0.29 USD, & pivot the app's two one-time-purchase IAPs, Producer & Super Producer, to a single Auto-Renewing Sub.

The name of the new Sub is "Advanced Features".

See the table below.

2.) A Heads Up, our first App Note, out soon, illustrates how to use Photosets for Baseball & Softball.

3.) We're RE-visiting a certain U.S. App Dev Class Action Lawsuit against Apple, in which we were the ONLY App Dev to "Officially" Object to.

📌 Quick Overview:

i.) The "Base" version of Photosets is a solid, full-featured Burst Photo Camera App.

Its ONLY drawback is limited Captured Durations.

ii.) The "Producer" version has 2x the Capture Durations.

That makes it Easier-to-Use,
& makes it possible to craft "credible" Short Form, Multi-Scene Videos
from your captured 8-bit photo sets.

In large part because of the High-Precision Timing (HST) nature of the app's Burst Photo Capture Engine.

And BTW, the Base version has the same Short Form, "60" scene Video Maker as the Producer version.

The ONLY difference is the sizes of the photo sets used as inputs.

iii.) The "Super Producer" version adds 10-bit 422 4K photo capture support.

Plus, the ability to craft 10-bit ProRes 422HQ 4K video "scenes" from your captured 10-bit photo sets.

Please note that 10-bit 422 4K photo capture can ONLY be enabled on iPhones that support it.

Currently, ONLY the "four" newest "Pro" iPhones.

i.e., the 15P, 15PM, 16P, & 16PM.
