SplatKing 1.6.1 is a stability update with one new video setting. • Fixes a crash that could occur when the system tore down the capture screen while a LiDAR series was open. • A LiDAR capture interrupted before it finished processing is now recovered automatically the next time the app launches, and finalized in place. • Settings no longer reset when the app is launched cold. Lens Mode, Video Quality, Photo Format, the last-used capture mode, and the display and Pro overlay toggles now persist as set. • New: Video Resolution in Settings → Output. Record Video mode at 4K (the default) or 1080p, at 30 fps. Photo and LiDAR captures are unaffected.

SplatKing 1.6.0 adds a processing stage after capture and introduces SplatKing Pro. • Pose refinement — after a LiDAR capture, camera poses are refined on the device (feature matching and bundle adjustment) and recorded in the export. Free for everyone. • Train Splat (Pro) — train a Gaussian splat from a refined LiDAR capture on the device. Output is an .spz file; view it in the app or share it. • SplatKing Pro — a one-time purchase that adds focus peaking, an RGB histogram, capture presets, the auto-capture interval selector (1, 2, 5 or 10 s; free capture stays at 1 s) and on-device training. Free capture quality is unchanged. • Tips — optional Coffee, Lunch and Dinner tips. They unlock nothing. • Settings → About → Acknowledgements lists the open-source components the app ships. • The Support Development link is removed. • Accessibility — the analytics notice follows the system appearance; session quality pills carry Good / OK / Poor words; the live quality HUD shows G / O / P letters when Differentiate Without Color is on. • Fix — a dual-lens photo series no longer fires a queued auto pair after the series has stopped.

New in 1.4.1 Reliability • Fixed a first-run issue where the “Got it” button on the analytics notice could be untappable on Zoomed display settings, which left the app unusable. The notice now scrolls and the button stays reachable.

New in 1.4.0 • Save GPS Location — optionally record where each capture was taken. Off by default; turn it on in Settings. • Single-lens capture & RAW — choose 1x single-lens capture for Photo and Video, and shoot RAW (DNG) photos in single-lens mode. Reliability • Fixed a capture crash affecting single-camera iPhone models.

This update adds optional anonymous analytics to help us improve capture reliability. Events are anonymous and range-bucketed — never your captures, filenames, or location. In the EU/UK and other prior-consent regions, analytics is off unless you turn it on; elsewhere you'll see a one-time notice and can turn it off anytime in Settings. Also fixed: setting a backup folder from Settings now works reliably, the backup row updates immediately after changes, and removing a backup location makes clear your files are never deleted.

iPad support with portrait and landscape layouts; capture on single-rear-camera iPads; preview rotation and stale-frame fixes

Fixes an issue where manual camera controls (shutter, ISO, white balance, exposure) could revert during extended or warm captures.

This update adds single-camera capture and a broad set of reliability improvements. • Single-camera capture: iPhones with a single rear camera can now capture photo series and video on the wide lens. Devices with the dual 0.5×/1× system are unchanged. • Captures hold through interruptions: an incoming call or another app using the camera no longer ends a photo series. • Better handling under heat and on long sessions, with a clear notice when the device needs to cool and automatic resume once it does. • Steadier manual controls and sturdier exports: control changes that can't be applied now revert cleanly, and sharing and file cleanup are more robust.

This update improves the reliability of photo capture and manual camera controls and hardens capture export. No changes to capture formats or output.

• Video and LiDAR captures are preserved if a session is interrupted, backgrounded, or ends unexpectedly — including LiDAR scans interrupted mid-capture, which now save as a complete segment. • Long recordings stay stable under heat and low storage, reducing frame rate gradually and warning before storage runs out. • Capture export now verifies the archive before removing the originals. • Fixed a rare crash during photo capture after the camera recovered from an interruption.

- Recordings are now written with periodic checkpoints. If a capture is interrupted, a force-quit, a crash, a dead battery, the footage survives up to the last few seconds instead of being lost. - Both lens streams are verified after every recording. If a file didn't save correctly, SplatKing says so and reports what's recoverable, instead of reporting success. - Overheating no longer ends recordings abruptly. The frame rate steps down (30 → 24 → 15 fps) to keep recording under thermal pressure and restores as the device cools; stopping, with footage saved, is the last resort. - Running low on storage during a recording now warns ahead of time, then stops and keeps your footage. - ZIP export checks free space before starting and tells you exactly how much is needed, with the option to export the folder directly instead.

This update focuses on capture reliability: • The live preview now recovers automatically if the camera is interrupted mid-capture — it no longer stays black while photos keep saving. • Fixed a preview freeze that could occur when switching capture modes quickly. • Auto-capture eases its rate when the device gets warm, reducing thermal strain on long sessions. • Auto-capture now pauses under low memory to prevent an abrupt interruption.

SplatKing 1.0 redesigns the capture interface and expands manual control, and adds native COLMAP export from LiDAR. • Redesigned capture interface. A control rail with on-chip readouts replaces the old HUD; every active setting shows its value at a glance. • Focus controls. AF Lock, manual focus distance, and tap-to-focus, applied across both lenses. • Minimum shutter speed. Set a shortest-exposure floor to hold sharpness during motion. Available in photo and video. • Manual controls can remember your last settings. Optional; exposure and white balance carry over between sessions. • New Settings page. Grid overlay, haptics, and a launch-in capture mode. • LiDAR captures export a COLMAP text model. Cameras, images, and sparse points, written on-device and ready for reconstruction pipelines. • Landscape support on iPhone. • Photo and video still capture the 0.5× ultra-wide and 1× wide lenses simultaneously; LiDAR pairs ARKit depth with the 1× wide lens.

Refactor Video and Photo code Video capture now starts more reliably from a cold launch, with reduced startup lag and better protection against early recording interruptions. Photo and LiDAR capture flows have also been validated for smoother post-capture saving and sharing.

Improved Photo mode reliability, especially in low-light and manual-settings workflows. Faster Auto Capture startup and better cadence consistency. Better dual-lens resilience: if one lens stalls, capture now continues instead of hanging. Faster ZIP export performance for sharing captures. Improved post-capture share flow responsiveness. Improved metadata compatibility (including fixes for Metashape digital-zoom warnings).

Improved overall capture/export reliability across Video, Photo, and LiDAR workflows. Added stronger LiDAR data packaging for reconstruction workflows (including Beta COLMAP-side outputs). Added per-frame timecode export for dual-video captures. Temporarily disabled RAW photo capture in dual-cam flow for stability and predictable output quality. General performance and stability improvements.

Improved LiDAR export compatibility. Fixed EULA link routing issue. Added in-app version/build display in Support. Improved diagnostics for capture start troubleshooting.

Zipping is faster Improved storage guidance during video capture with live recording-time estimate. Lower storage start threshold so captures can begin with less free space. General stability and usability improvements.

ZIP export now shows live progress from 0% to 100% with estimated time remaining. You’ll now see an estimated ZIP time before starting export/share. Fixed an issue where starting a new Photo capture after zipping a previous session could fail. Improved export reliability and stability across Video, Photo, and LiDAR workflows.

What's new in this build: - Fix photo session restart after ZIP export - Bump marketing version to 0.9.8 - Use LidarSeries folder naming and clarify LiDAR auto controls - Complete Phase 0 UX polish and test checklists - Add first-launch legal consent and export onboarding - Remove advanced folder share from session summary - Simplify session summary share actions - Move capture index to internal app support storage - Simplify Files menu and open ZIP parent in Files - Add auto replace-original-after-zip setting - Add ZIP replace-original reclaim-space option

New Menu System! • Custom White Balance Control • Exposure Compensation Control • Left Handed Mode

SplatKing 0.9.6 improves capture export reliability for real production workflows. Sessions now share as a single .zip bundle with the full folder structure preserved, making uploads and downstream reconstruction easier to manage. Added ZIP64 support for very large captures, improved cloud-share filename behavior so exports keep the proper .zip extension, and added an automatic fallback to folder export when ZIP packaging is unavailable. Also includes additional stability improvements across the capture/share flow.
