A clearer, more comfortable Home screen. • Improved spacing and alignment across iPhone and iPad. • Refined portrait and landscape layouts, including smaller iPhones and resized iPad windows. • Easier-to-tap controls and better support for larger text and all supported languages. • Fixed an issue where the device’s Auto-Lock timer could interrupt recording.

More control over your screen, from your first capture. • Keep your current brightness or enable Auto-Dim Capture Screen in Settings. Your choice is remembered for photos and video, with browser brightness controlled separately. • Photo is now the default mode on first use, so free photo capture is easy to get to. • Your chosen capture mode is remembered for next time, and existing mode preferences are preserved.

BlackOut 2.5 brings web browsing and recording together. • Browse the internet while recording video or slow-motion video in BlackOut. • Start recording from the browser menu, then stop and save when you're done. Your webpage stays open. • Choose your search engine, keep bookmarks, and adjust browser auto-dimming in Settings. • Improved layouts on iPhone and iPad, with better-aligned startup instructions and smoother browser controls. Recording continues while BlackOut is open and your device is unlocked.

BlackOut 2.0 brings more ways to capture and a fresh gallery, now on iPad too. • Redesigned gallery with a smooth pinch-to-resize grid, photo and video filters, and sorting. • Swipe to select multiple items, then share, save to Photos, or delete them together. • Smoother photo zoom, panning, and double-tap controls, with clearer media details. • Burst photo capture with adjustable photo count and spacing. • Slow-motion recording with resolution and speed choices supported by your camera. • Native iPad layouts for portrait, landscape, and different window sizes. • Open directly in the camera, with automatic recording as a separate opt-in preference. • Camera, lens, resolution, and frame-rate choices based on your device's actual capabilities. • Refined settings, updated instructions in all seven languages, and stability improvements. Your existing lifetime Premium purchase includes the new Premium capture modes.

BlackOut now gives you more control over recording and makes managing your gallery easier. • Use either volume button to take photos or start and stop video recording. • Prevent accidental swipes while recording with the new swipe lock. • Choose an automatic stop timer or record without an app-imposed time limit. • Select multiple photos and videos to share, save to Photos, or delete together. • Fixed an issue that limited photo resolution. • Improved Lock Screen widget startup, automatic screen dimming, and vibration when recording begins. • Fixed misleading recording interruption messages and improved gallery stability. • Added updated instructions in all seven supported languages, including volume-button controls, double-tap, and long-press gestures.

This update improves gallery stability. We fixed an issue that could cause BlackOut to close unexpectedly while deleting photos or videos. We also improved gallery refreshes so deleted items don’t reappear. Thanks for using BlackOut!
