Light meter: a new row of apertures below the ISO row. Pick one and the large display at the top shows the shutter speed to set for it. A new switch in the settings keeps the ISO and aperture you chose — when you switch pages and when you open the app again. Off by default. Lab: the months in the archive fold away. Tap a month to close it; a dot shows when a closed month still holds a roll that is due. Settings have moved to the gear at the top right. The bar at the bottom now holds only the five pages you work with, and its buttons are bigger. The app is a little more compact on iPhone. An open camera now fits on the screen in one piece and stays put while it is open — no more scrolling past it. 44 more films to pick from, among them Kentmere Pan 200, Harman Phoenix II, Kodak Vision3, Fujifilm Acros II and the black-and-white films from Rollei, Adox and Lomography. Fixed: two headings in the manual showed "&" instead of "&".

A fifth page: Shutter. Hold the phone close to the camera and fire, and the microphone measures how long the shutter was open. The waveform shows the two sounds, two markers span the time between them, and underneath stands the measured speed, the nearest speed on the dial and how far off it is in stops. Listen back at a quarter or an eighth speed to hear the two sounds apart. It is a rough cross-check, not a measuring instrument — good enough to ask whether your 1/500 is roughly right or a whole stop off. The page says so itself, and says what it cannot do. An overview on the lab page. Which film is in which camera, with the frame count and the day it was loaded, and where every roll in the archive stands: taken out, sent in, developed. Dates that are getting old are shown in red. Collapsed by default — tap the line to open it. The place of a note is found faster now, and the app no longer asks for permission again and again. Under the hood: the app was rebuilt for the scene lifecycle that iOS 26 requires. Without it, it would no longer have started at all.

The app now speaks Japanese and Korean. Set it under More, or leave it on Automatic and it follows your phone. Landscape, for a phone that sits on the camera. The light meter puts the viewfinder on one side and the readings on the other; the lab shows the list beside the roll you picked. It is off by default and switched on under More — portrait stays the way the app works. The lab page is rebuilt. Rolls now sit on a timeline in the order things happened, each showing where it stands and the photos that are on it, without having to open anything. You can search by state as well: waiting, sent, developed. In the photo view, swipe up or down to close it — the way you already do everywhere else. Taking a photo through the app now flashes, the way a shutter does, and cards open a little more calmly. Camera name suggestions find what you type anywhere in the name, not only at the start — "canonet" now finds the Canon Canonet. Fixed: a backup could overwrite a full iCloud file with an empty one when the app had just been reinstalled. Tapping a photo from the middle of a roll opened the first one instead. And the location question no longer stalls when you tap "Time & place" for the first time.

Roll numbers. Every roll you load now gets a five-character code. Write it on the canister and a scan that comes back from the lab still finds its entry. A manual. Seven chapters under More, one per page, including the things that are easy to miss. The camera card, rearranged. The frame counter sits at the top, and everything about the loaded roll — film, roll number, length, New roll — stands together in one block instead of scattered across the card. Light meter: freezing now holds the picture as well, not just the numbers. A short tap when you count a frame, take a photo or file a roll. Icons instead of emoji, drawn in the same style as the rest of the app. Date fields keep their height while empty and show the date format you have set — they no longer look half-drawn until you tap them. Smaller things: the menu bar gets out of the way when the keyboard opens, and the version of the app and of iOS now stand at the foot of More.
