Fresh look: AQP has a new app icon and a matching launch screen.

New in this update: • Golden Hour widget — today's sunrise, sunset and golden-hour times on your home screen. • Daily Frame — a 30-day photography habit: one prompt a day. • Bespoke iPhone diagrams for Portrait mode, Night mode, ProRAW, exposure lock and macro. • Per-iPhone feature badges, so you know what your model supports. • The app is now “AQP” (Ahmed Qahal Photography), with a refreshed About page.

AQP Pro just got bigger: • Your Pro subscription now works on the web too — sign in with the same account at app.ahmedqahalphotography.com. • Learning Insights — a new analytics dashboard with your quiz trends, streaks and strongest topics. • Study Pack — export the cheat-sheets as a PDF to read offline. • Photo Editor beauty tools (Portrait, Makeup, Retouch) are now clearly marked. Plus under-the-hood improvements.

New — free Photographer Tools. Six on-device field calculators, no sign-in and they work offline: • Golden Hour — sunrise, sunset, golden & blue hour for any day and place • Exposure & ND — equivalent exposures and long-exposure times • Light Meter — suggested settings for the light you're in • Time-lapse — interval, frames and storage • Night Sky — moon phase, the darkest window and the Milky Way core • Depth of Field — depth of field, field of view and hyperfocal distance

• The Photo Editor now has the same quick Home and language buttons as the rest of the app. • Tidied up the About screen. • Small fixes and refinements.

New in this update Lighting Studio, reimagined: • See the light on a real face — the preview now shows the actual shadow pattern (loop, Rembrandt, split, butterfly, rim) with catchlights. • It names the pattern for you and shows the key-to-fill ratio in stops. • New colored gels, high-key/low-key backgrounds, and modifier sizes you can feel. • 6 new creative styles: High-Key, Low-Key/Noir, Dramatic Rim, Gel Duotone, Teal & Orange, Editorial Hard Light. Clearer camera guides with new diagrams, and language + home controls reachable from anywhere. Thank you for learning with Ahmed Qahal Photography.

New in this update Rewards & progress — Learning now earns you more than knowledge: • Earn XP for every lesson, quiz, and assignment you complete. • Climb a ladder of skill ranks as your XP grows. • Unlock streak badges for showing up day after day. You'll find it all in the new Rewards card on your Progress screen. Plus behind-the-scenes improvements for a smoother, more reliable experience. Thank you for learning with Ahmed Qahal Photography.

New: the iPhone Photography course. Learn to shoot stunning photos with the iPhone you already own — 8 modules covering the three lenses and tap-to-focus, light, composition, Portrait/Night/Macro modes, ProRAW, editing, and finding your own style. Every lesson has a diagram, a quiz, and a hands-on assignment with instant on-device feedback. Module 1 is free. Also: Arabic wording fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements.

New in this update: • Live Classrooms — join Ahmed's scheduled group sessions over video. • Completion certificates — earn and share a branded certificate when you finish a course. • Quick guides — handy cheat-sheets for exposure, aperture, ISO, white balance, and composition. • Search — find any lesson, module, or lighting setup instantly. • Final exam — test your knowledge with a timed, graded course exam. • Course feedback — rate the course and tell us what to improve. • Help & Support — send a question and track its status in the app. • Daily study reminders — a gentle nudge to practice at the time you choose. Plus stability and interface improvements.

• Photo Editor: the face beauty tools now apply reliably — eye brightening, smile, blush, lipstick color, and teeth whitening. • Practice camera: ISO, shutter, and aperture now snap to real photographic stops, and the preview brightness tracks your settings accurately. • Arabic polish: dates and video durations now display correctly in Arabic. • Assorted stability and interface fixes.

Reliability and polish across the app: • Paid critique, coaching, and consultation confirm you're signed in first, so your request always reaches us. • Your learning progress now saves continuously — no lost sessions. • A new "Book your session" button lets you open or re-open your booking anytime after payment. • Deleting your account now fully removes your personal data. • Achievements unlock the moment you finish a module's last lesson. • Fixes to the AI critique free-usage count, the paid-critique photo, and Arabic text throughout.

New: About Ahmed — get to know your instructor. • A dedicated profile with Ahmed's story and journey in photography, the photographers who inspired him along the way, and links to follow his work. • Book a session: after purchasing private coaching or a consultation, choose a time that suits you, get a confirmation, and join by video call — reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours before. • Refinements and fixes throughout.

New: Lighting — learn where to put the light. • 12 classic setups, each with a clear top-down diagram: Rembrandt, loop, butterfly, split, clamshell, short and broad lighting, rim and three-point — plus a natural-light set that needs no equipment at all (window light, golden-hour backlight, open shade). • Every setup shows what the light does to a face, when to use it, the steps to recreate it, and the gear you need. • Design your own: drag the lights around the subject, adjust angle, height and power, and save your setups. • Share any diagram as an image. • "What light was this?" — pick a photo and the app estimates where the key light was, then shows you the closest setup. It all happens on your device.

• New: Consultation — book a one-on-one session with Ahmed for advice on gear, editing, your portfolio, or pricing. You're only charged after he reviews and accepts your request. • Private Coaching now works the same way: Ahmed reviews first, and you pay only if he accepts. • Fixed video playback and made adding course videos much simpler. • Arabic polish across the Community feed and the Gear guide, plus assorted bug fixes and refinements.

• Fixed right-to-left (Arabic) layout on every screen opened from the home screen — Account, Progress, Gear, the AQP Pro screen, quizzes and more now mirror correctly. • Smarter automatic photo critique: it now scores exposure, sharpness, colour balance and composition separately, with an overall score. • The Camera Explorer guide is now fully in Arabic — all 13 chapters and 100+ topics. • Fixed portrait photos loading sideways in the Photo Editor and critique. • Community: a clear button to enter the weekly challenge.

Community safety & polish: • Report & Block: long-press any community photo to report it or block a member. Blocked members disappear from your feed instantly. • On-device photo checks: every photo is checked on your iPhone before it posts, keeping inappropriate images out of the community. • A guidelines agreement before each post, with a link to the Terms of Use (EULA). • New: Private Coaching now has its own shortcut on the home screen. • AQP Pro members get a gold status banner and Pro markers on unlocked features. • Cleaner Photo Editor and Camera layouts, and clearer subscription terms. • Stability and localization fixes.
