New • Series — cut a whole run of up to 20 stories or posts from one pick of photos and clips. • A board with every post side by side: tap a photo, then tap a block. • The wand mixes your picks by colour, a new mix every tap. • One design for every post — set it once, or load a saved grid. • Step through the series in the editor, and swipe through it in the story preview. • Posts with two or more clips ask whose sound plays and how the clips repeat. • Save the whole series to Photos in one go. Improved • Exports at twice the size — a story now saves at 2160 × 3840. • Saved layouts have their own bookmark icon. • Video choices in the export panel fill the whole row.

New • Up to three videos in one post or story, all playing in sync while you edit. • Pick which clip sets the length and whose sound plays. Shorter clips start over or play back. • Every clip shows its length and a bar that fills as it plays. • The export panel shows the whole finished post on a timeline. Improved • Sharper exports — photos keep their full size, and video is saved at a much higher quality.

New • Undo and redo — take back any change, even a deleted block, and bring it back if you change your mind. Improved • The story preview lines up with Instagram, right down to how close to the edges everything sits.

New • Move a photo and you can see all of it — pan, zoom or rotate, and the part the block hides appears around it, ghosted, inside a dashed edge. You know exactly how far it is turned and how much is still off-frame. Works the same for video. • A wider gap palette — eleven preset colours instead of five, laid out as a spectrum from blush through sage and sky to rose. Fixed • Saved layouts now preview at true proportions — the frame, gap and corner radius on a saved grid's card were drawn far thicker than the grid actually builds. • Empty blocks keep their rounded corners in a video export, the same way they already did in a photo export. Improved • Clearer wording across the app — the same plain language the website uses, and the PRO screen now spells out that everything else stays free.

Improved • Saved Post layouts on the home screen now sit right above their name instead of floating over a gap. Fixed • Corner radius now works on a single-block grid — with the frame on, the one block used to stay square no matter where you put the slider.

Improved • The story preview closes with a swipe down, like a real story — the close button still works. • Back and the preview eye sit higher in the editor, so they cover less of your top block. Fixed • Sliders stay exactly where you let go — lifting your finger used to nudge the value a few points. • Rate Grid now opens the App Store review form every time — most taps used to do nothing.

Improved • A rebuilt home screen: the two layout modes are white cards whose icons show what they make, and PRO now sits in a card you actually notice. • Toolbar buttons in the editor read as buttons over any photo, not just a dark grid. • The two Polaroid bands share one row in Settings, so you can set the top and bottom against each other at a glance — and they cap at a size that still reads as a frame. • Cleaner story preview: the placeholder caption under the handle is gone, so the mock story shows just your grid and the furniture around it. • A calmer launch animation. Fixed • Turning the frame on no longer switches the Polaroid bands on with it. Polaroid stays its own setting. • Touching a slider's handle no longer nudges the value — grab it and it stays under your finger. Tapping the bare track still jumps to that spot. • The Settings panel could disappear and stop responding after dragging a slider all the way down. It always comes back now — and opening Settings recovers it whatever happens. • The Gap slider moved in half points while showing whole ones, so every other nudge looked like it had jumped and stuck. Sliders now move in the units they display.

New • Story Preview: tap the eye in the editor and your grid drops into a mock Instagram story — progress bar, profile row and reply bar included, with every editing control out of the way. See exactly what you're about to post before you export it. • Videos keep playing in the preview, and a grid with a video gets a sound toggle in the reply bar, so you hear the clip exactly as the export will sound.

New • App version is now shown on the home screen, next to "Made in Prague". Improved • Frames, corner radius and width stretch are free for everyone — the post border, rounded section corners and pulling a block out across the frame no longer need a subscription. • PRO is now video and the Polaroid / Leica frame only. • Polaroid has its own button in Settings, so it's clear what the paid part actually is. • The video button now shows on every block, even without PRO — tap it to see what it does. • Nothing loops on the home screen anymore, and the launch animation is snappier.

Changed • Cleaner saved-grid label — with a saved grid open, the Settings panel now just shows its name, instead of tagging it with a "modified" dot that implied it was still that exact grid after you'd changed it. Fixed • Video audio you can actually hear — the on-canvas preview now follows the "Mute audio" toggle, so turning it off plays the clip with sound (just like the export), instead of the preview always being silent with no way to check.

New • Free rotation — pinch to rotate any photo or video to any angle, alongside pan and zoom. The 90° button stays, and now works on videos too. • Snap to straight — rotating near upright shows a guide line and snaps the media level with a haptic tick; turn a little further to break free. Improved • A tilted photo or video always grows to keep filling its block, so no corner ever shows a gap. Fixed • Tapping Add photos now closes any open Settings or Export panel instead of leaving it stuck.

New • Single-photo grids — a grid can now be a single full-canvas photo or video, not just a split of two or more. • Top spacing (PRO) — with a frame on, add a clean band at the top too, matching the bottom for a symmetric framed look. Improved • Tidier home screen when you only have a few saved grids. Fixed • A block's action icons no longer get stuck open — tap anywhere to close them.

New • Your saved grids, right on the home screen — a strip of thumbnails. Tap one to jump straight into it at the right size, ready for photos. A More tile opens your whole library. Improved • Change format without losing your work — pick a size and your blocks, photos, videos, spacing and frame all carry over. Only Reset starts a blank grid. • Much smoother positioning — panning and pinch-zoom stay exactly where you leave them, with no jump or snap-back when you lift a finger. Photos can't be shrunk smaller than their frame, and zoom now stops at 10×. • Clearer saved-grid labels — badges now read "Stories", "Post 4:5" or "Post 1:1" instead of a bare aspect ratio. • Clearer Photos permission when exporting — StoryGrid explains what's needed, gives a one-tap shortcut to Settings, and offers Share to save or send your grid without changing any permissions. • Tidier home screen — the "Feed Grids" teaser is now a compact row at the bottom. Fixed • Sharing a video grid now shares the video, not a single still frame. • Saving over a grid you've reshaped stores the new format and redraws its thumbnail at the right shape (no more cropped cards). • Stretched blocks now match the exported image exactly — including right after launch and if a subscription has lapsed. • Muting a video now counts as a change you can save, instead of being dropped on exit. • Switching to a preset with fewer blocks no longer leaves orphaned video files on disk. • An old saved grid that failed to load can no longer take your whole library with it — anything missing falls back to its default.

Added • Polaroid & Leica frames (PRO) — turn your whole grid into one classic instant-photo frame. With a frame border on, the new Bottom spacing slider grows a taller band along the bottom in your frame colour, giving the post that wide Polaroid/Leica chin. Your photos and video sit inside a single clean frame — works with any number of sections, pairs with rounded corners, and shows up in your saved-grid thumbnails.

Added • See where a photo belongs while you move it — dragging or pinching a photo (or video) now shows its block outline underneath, so it stays clear the media fills that section even while you push it past the edge. Release to snap it back into place. Changed • Clearer rotate button — the rotate icon now reads distinctly from the lock, so the two are easy to tell apart at a glance. • Tidied the home screen — the not-yet-ready "Feed Grids" placeholder is hidden until it ships. Fixed • Video export no longer freezes the app — exporting a grid with a video (especially a second export after rearranging) could hang the whole app on device. The video overlay is now composed correctly and the on-screen clip pauses during export. • Streamlined how grids are laid out and exported under the hood, keeping the on-screen preview and the exported image perfectly in sync across photos, videos and saved-grid thumbnails.

Changed • Clearer, more refined block actions — press and hold a photo or video and the action buttons now read at a glance: a labelled Swap (up/down), Remove, and, when a frame border is active, Stretch to pull the media across the border. Redesigned with a premium look — thin icons on frosted glass with quiet captions. Fixed • The Stretch action now appears only when it actually does something — when a frame border with a real gap is set — instead of always showing.

Added: • Live preview while adjusting Gap, Radius and Frame size — dragging any of these sliders fades the settings panel completely away so you can watch the whole grid react in real time, with the current value shown in a bubble at the thumb and a badge at the top. Release to bring the panel back. • A friendly nudge to spread the word — once you've exported a few grids, an optional prompt invites you to follow StoryGrid on Instagram, leave a rating, or share the app. A subtle footer on the home screen opens the same options any time. Changed: • Renamed the border Size slider to Frame size for clarity. • Much faster photo loading — picked photos now appear instantly as a quick preview and sharpen to full resolution in the background, load several at once, and are processed off the main thread so the grid stays draggable right away. A loading spinner covers the brief first-pick warm-up. • Lighter video editing — videos load a smaller preview while you arrange them, keeping the canvas smooth; exports still use the original at full quality. Fixed: • Smoothed out interface hitches during editing — the app typeface is now cached and purchase checks run off the main thread.

Added: • New typeface across the app — Outfit variable font for a cleaner, more consistent look. • Filter your saved grids — All / Stories / Post tabs. Changed • Saved-grid thumbnails render in their real aspect ratio (Post / Single Post no longer squeezed into the Story shape). • Saved Grids refined — centered title, top-aligned thumbnails. • Dark-framed saved grids show one dashed outline around the whole post (matching the editor).

Added: • Empty blocks now show a dashed outline so tappable placeholders read on any background. Polish & fixes • Muted video playback no longer interrupts other apps' audio (ambient audio session). • Saved grids — the first tap now selects a grid instantly (removed the scroll touch delay). • Saved grids — loading a grid with a different number of sections keeps your photos instead of clearing them.

PRO: Stretch across the border Long-press a photo or video and tap the stretch icon to make it span the full width across the frame border — your media now sits in front of the frame for a bold, breaking-out look. Also new • Long-press any section for quick actions — stretch (PRO), swap with another section, or clear it. Empty sections offer Add Photo / Add Video. • A locked section now shows just the lock, so the controls stay clean. • Lock and Rotate sit side-by-side on small/square sections, so every icon fits. • Saved grids now preview your stretched layouts too. Polish & fixes • Photos and videos stay perfectly inside their blocks — even with rounded corners on. • Media keeps its position when you add, remove, reorder or stretch blocks. • Instant section reordering — removed the odd slide animation. • Cleaner saved-grid previews with centered percentages. • Refined splash screen, demo grid, and app icon to match the brand.
