Videos open faster. A streaming copy is made when you upload, so playback starts in seconds instead of waiting on the full-size file. Fixes: very large photo batches no longer crash the upload, video controls come back with a tap and Play restarts a finished video, and a slideshow cast to a TV can be stopped from your phone.

The first screen when the app opens now shows the Albumer logo. Guest lists can be invited by email or by text message. Small fixes throughout.

Guest lists can now be invited by email or by text message. One QR code per album, printable signs that fit on one page, and lists that sort the way people expect. A short note before the app asks about tracking, and lighter ads. Small fixes throughout.

Guest lists: paste a list of names and emails, or pick a spreadsheet, a roster or a contacts export, check it, and invite everyone at once. Keep it as a named list, apart from your contacts, and invite the same people again next time. Widget: it now fetches its own photos every 30 minutes, plays through the whole album, and shows new photos without the app being opened. New games: Color Dash and Photo Bingo. Albumer Hunt has fresh items every time, lists for kids, and a way to clear finished hunts. Prints with Walgreens: print one photo or a whole print album for Same Day Pickup, with a notification when the prints are ready. Album owners can choose what members can do, stop new joins from QR codes, and archive their own albums. Help & Support and Feedback are now a form inside the app.

Photos you add stay safe on your phone until they finish uploading, even when the phone is low on space. Signing in tells you what is actually wrong: whether an email has no account yet, or whether that account signs in with Apple or Google. Finishing sign up no longer sends you off to your inbox. The code arrives by email and you type it straight into the app.

A new look: Candy Pop. Bright colors and rounded type. Find it under Appearance, next to Today, Dark and Cloth. Big camera photos always show. Previews and full-screen views are made on your phone as you upload, so nothing comes up blank. Photos inside folders get the full long-press menu: save for printing, add to a Secure Album, set as the album cover, send as a puzzle, show in your widget, report, delete. Deleting one keeps you in the viewer. Screencast and Frames list your albums first. Tap one to open its folders. Comments and journal boxes stay above the keyboard. Long titles open on a tap. Sign out asks first. Spanish fixes.

Videos play again. Tap any video in an album or folder and it plays, and saving a video to your phone saves the video itself. Each photo and video shows once, even if an upload was interrupted. Events can be deleted. Long-press a cover photo to remove it. Smaller fixes in Albums, Screencast, the widget and Memories.

Invites are simpler. Tap a link and the album opens. New to Albumer? Install it, sign up, and the album you were invited to is waiting for you. Contacts shows who already has Albumer. Tap someone to share an album or send a puzzle, or invite anyone else by text. Event guest lists now recognize guests who already have Albumer. Print area cleaned up, plus small fixes across Albums, Profile, Games and the widget.

Videos in your albums now show a preview picture instead of a blank tile. Contacts has been rebuilt. People who already use Albumer sit at the top. Tap someone to share an album or send them a puzzle, or tap anyone else to invite them by text. Secure albums can be locked so nobody new can join, and saved to your phone. Events: name it, get your QR code and signs, then pick guests straight from your phone contacts. Sign in and sign up now live on one screen.

What's new in this update: Set aside a whole batch of photos for printing at once instead of one at a time, keep as many print albums as you like, and rename them. Print services now take you straight to the page where you can start, and send your photos across without saving them to your phone first. Albumer Events: name it, get your QR code and printable signs, then invite your whole guest list in one tap. Photo frames and your TV can now follow a single folder, not just a whole album, and both are searchable. Saving photos to your phone no longer asks for permission it never needed.

What's new in this update: The Events screen is simpler. Tapping either option now takes you straight to it, and each one explains plainly what it does and what it costs you. Clearer wording on Single Events, including the year of Albumer that comes with one, and on how long your photos stay. Tidied up the printable event signs and the address we ask you to write to.

What's new in this update: Secure albums show up in the list as soon as you make one. They were always saved, but the list did not refresh until you left and came back. A password on a Secure album QR code is now optional. Tap "What is the difference?" on that screen to see which one suits you. Clearer wording on who can save your photos in a Secure album. The sign in and sign up screens keep the Albumer look whichever appearance you pick.

What's new in this update: The Albumer Widget now plays your whole album or folder, not just the newest few photos, and it keeps up as the people you share with add more. Clearer directions for adding the widget to your home screen, for both iPhone and Android. Every screen now shares the same bar at the top, so moving around the app feels like one app. Open an album and you can see what is really in it: photos in the album, how many folders, and the total. Tap Folders to see them all in one list. Rate a photo somebody sent you as a puzzle, change your rating later, and see what everyone gave it. Free accounts can now send videos up to 3 minutes, up from 30 seconds. Clearing finished games clears memory games too.

What's new in this update: Pick how Albumer looks. Albumer Blue is the look you know, Darkroom is near black so your photos light up, and Cloth is bookbinding green and brass. Choose one in Profile, under Appearance. Puzzle Albums now keep score: photos won, games solved, and how many are waiting for you. Signing in with Google works properly again, and tells you what to do if it does not. A Secure album's printed QR code works now. Set a password when you make the sign, and give it to your guests at the door. Text reads more clearly throughout the app.

What's new in this update: Say something with your puzzle or memory game. Write a note when you send it, and the person you sent it to sees your message right above the game. If they do not have Albumer yet, your note now leads the text they get, so it reads like a message from you instead of an app invite. Choosing who to send a game to is steadier, with no hiccups while your people load.

Fixes and improvements in this update: Buttons and tiles no longer sit underneath your phone's navigation bar. Pinch, drag and double tap to zoom in on any photo. Memory game photos now load properly, with no blank cards. Every game shows what is waiting for you to play, and you can always send a new one without finishing one first. Album admins can ask members who have not added their photos yet. Anyone asked can turn those reminders off for that album on their own. Photos now keep the date they were taken, so suggestions based on dates are accurate.

The home-screen widget now works on iPhone. Point it at an album, or at a folder you have shared with friends and family so everyone can add photos to it, and your home screen fills up with pictures from the people you love. Also fixed: memory game photos now appear the moment you flip a tile, instead of arriving late or not at all. Buttons at the bottom of the screen no longer sit underneath the phone's navigation bar.

A cleaner home screen. Every part of Albumer is now one tap away, from your albums and games to events, printing and secure albums. Fixes in this release: Joining an album with a code no longer fails at the last step. You can send a memory game even when one is already waiting for you. Comments and journal entries show names properly. A long list of smaller repairs throughout the app.

A new way to play: the memory game. Send four to twelve photos, they flip tiles to find the pairs, and matching them all saves the photos to an album you both share. Choosing who gets a puzzle now takes one or several people at once, and picking several starts a group game on the spot. Every people list holds your phone contacts as well as your Albumer friends, so anyone can be invited by text. You can now share photos straight into an album or folder from your phone's gallery, without opening Albumer first. Albumer also spots photos on your phone taken the same day as an album and offers to add them. Long press any photo for a secret album, a puzzle, or your widget. The Puzzles tab now opens a game right away, and the Profile menu is organised into clear groups.

Puzzle groups are here. Make a group, send one photo to everyone at once, then watch the standings: fastest solve, most wins, most rounds sent, and whose photos people rate highest. Rate each photo 1 to 10 after you solve it. Choosing who to send to is now its own page, with search, your Albumer friends and your phone contacts together. Folders look like cards now and hold a description and journal entries. You can also preview a photo before you send it, and clear finished puzzles out of your Games list.

Sending a photo puzzle is now instant: pick any photo straight from your phone gallery, with no need to make an album first. Your Friends list is now two clear sections, the friends you have on Albumer and your phone contacts, each with its own Show all, and one search across both. Also fixed: the keyboard in the Friends search now closes when you tap away.

Like any photo! Tap the heart in the photo viewer to like it, and see how many likes each photo has. Also fixed: the photo menu on Android now always shows a Cancel button and closes when you tap outside it. Plus small polish throughout.

A fresh new look! Bigger album covers on your home screen, labeled tabs, and a beautiful full-screen album page with everything one tap away. Big albums load much faster, and photos you download now appear right at the top of your phone gallery instead of getting buried by date. Plus: your phone contacts appear right in the Friends list, long-press options for Secret Album photos, admin notifications, a clearer widget guide, and lots of polish.
