Picle 1.0.2 is in the App Store
In my last post I wrote about how we are moving forward with Picle and that we have an interim release coming out this week, well the good news is that the interim release (1.0.2) is live in the App Store now.
From all the feedback we received after the first release improved sharing and integration with Camera Roll were the most requested. So we are pleased to say that we have made both of these possible with this release. This release also contains bug fixes, improved error messages and an improved camera with tap focus, which Julian blogged a couple of weeks ago.
I will just take a minute to take you through how to use these 2 new features in the app.
- Improved sharing options that include Twitter and Email.
To share open the story you want and tap edit in the top right hand.
This will open up the edit section and the share button will appear in the bottom left corner.
From there you can select how you want to share.
- Integration with your Camera Roll.
One of the most requested new features from testing was the ability to use existing pictures from Camera Roll and to save pictures taken in Picle to Camera Roll. In this new release all images are saved to your Camera Roll by default. If you want to change this tap the settings tab and turn 'Save pictures to camera roll' to off.
If you want to use a photo from your Camera Roll tap the Camera Roll icon in the bottom left hand in the image capture screen. This will then open your Camera Roll and you can simply choose a picture from there.
We have some bigger changes for Picle arriving a bit later on, but for now this version will improve your experience and enable more sharing. We are aware that you may get some error 500 messages when trying to upload Picles, we are working on this as much as we can so please do bear with us whilst we try to resolve it.
As we have mentioned throughout the development of Picle we need your feedback and suggestions for how it can be improved, so if you have anything you want to tell us don't hesitate to Tweet @picleapp or email Ana directly at Ana@madebymany.co.uk.
