What's New in Version 1.2
Multiple Speech Bubbles
Add as many speech bubbles as you want to a single photo. Each one sits independently on the canvas — move it, rotate it, resize it, point its tail wherever you like, and give it its own colors and font.
Type Right on the Canvas
Tap any bubble to select it and start typing directly into it. See your caption exactly as it will look in the finished photo.
Your Words Stay Put
Switch between layout styles freely — your caption text is no longer tied to a specific style, so it follows you when you change your mind.
Smarter Starting Size
When you import a photo, the canvas now opens in the right orientation automatically. Landscape photo, landscape canvas. Portrait photo, portrait canvas.
Gesture Hints for New Users
First time on the Canvas step? A quick guide shows you where all the handles are and what they do. One tap to dismiss, never shown again.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where tapping the Settings icon sometimes did nothing. Fixed a crash on startup that could affect users with iCloud sync enabled.
