The pause you did not mean. A reader wrote in: he had twice stopped a development by accident, and thinks he did it while adding fifteen seconds. He was right about the cause. Under the hood, only the text inside those small buttons was actually the button — the rest of them fell through to the tap-anywhere-to-pause gesture underneath. Measured before this update: 28 of 140 points inside the "+15 s" button pressed it. The other 112 stopped the clock. • The adjustment buttons now sit on a panel of their own, and every tap that lands anywhere on that panel reaches a control. They are larger, too. • Pause is now a button on that panel instead of the whole screen. While the clock is running, tapping the background does nothing. • Everything else still works from anywhere on the screen, because that is what the app is for: starting a run, moving on the moment the next bath is in, and carrying on from a pause. Wet hands, gloves, no light. • A paused run now says so. The countdown turns orange, the app counts how long the clock has been standing still, and a line tells you what the film is sitting in — still developing, or just waiting in the bath. The Live Activity on the lock screen shows it at full contrast instead of dimmed. Thank you to the darkroom printer who took the time to write, twice.

Fahrenheit, and a warmer darkroom. Both of these came from a reader who develops at 78 °F in summer and did not want to ice his chemistry down. • Temperatures read in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The app follows the region your iPhone is set to, so a phone set to the United States now opens in Fahrenheit. There is a switch under More if you want the other one. • Time and temperature conversion now runs to 27 °C (80 °F) rather than stopping at 24 °C. That is where ILFORD's own published compensation chart ends, so the app now covers the whole of it. • The conversion curve is refitted to that chart. The old constant factor ran up to eight percent short at the warm end, and a development time that is too short is a negative that is too thin.

Agitate now shows ads. A banner sits at the bottom of Develop, Times and More, and one full screen ad appears when you acknowledge a finished run. Never during a run, and never on the timer. In safelight mode nothing is drawn at all. Another company's ad is another company's picture, usually a bright one, and white light in a darkroom costs you your dark adaptation and can fog the film. Agitate Pro removes the advertising, and it is still a one time purchase. If you own Pro you see no ads at all, not even in the moment after launch while the purchase is still being read. Where consent for ads is required, the advertising privacy settings are under More and can be changed at any time.
