Geotagging does not seem to work with Snapture.

Long live free software, open-source software, and the spirit of sharing freely. Let us all hope the idea of owning ideas comes to an end soon.

I definitely agree that Apple needs to allow for some sort of trailing of apps.

Paid apps really need to offer at least 24 hour trials. I've been burned too many times only finding out after I've paid that an app doesn't do what I want or just sucks.

Can someone PLEASE release a camera app that gives us manual control of exposure, shutter speed, etc? So many apps but none that give us control of the most important things!

Oh – good question that is. 🙂

Thank you Patrick for looking into this, I am very curious to hear what else they have to say…. Like you I don't by that there is some auto focus already in this app. The app is great but the auto focus really does help out a lot. If they do fix that problem this app would be 5 stars!!!

I have been asking a lot about this. The devs have said a few things – one is that there is some 'auto auto focus' already in the app, which I don't feel very convinced about. They are also saying that they are looking at this very closely and will have more news on this very soon, maybe as soon as tomorrow.

Nope, no luck. Still doesn't work … although my version seems to be v2.2. I can't find it in Cydia anymore either, and can't find an IPA that isn't cracked for v3.0. Too bad too. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I don't ever pay close enough attention to that info to know how this set of info stacks up – but this is what I see for a Snapture shot uploaded to Flickr via the iPhone:

My *Jailbroken* version of Snapture doesn't work in 3.1 either.

Hope it resolves it for you.

I'll have to do that … I get nothing but a black screen.

My understanding is that if they were to do anything further with the app on Cydia, they risk losing their approved developer status. I can understand that not being worth the risk – and believe most developers do the same once they go the App Store route. Also, to be fair, I think all of us who have purchase jailbreak apps (including me) have known that there were greater risks associated with buying those.

It works fine on 3.1 for me so far. Maybe try a reinstall?

I received a DM on twitter from them … but they asked not to share the details. Still not valuable to me though, as the "deal" only applies if I purchased Snapture in the last two months. Too bad I purchase two copies over a year ago (my iPhone and my wife's) … and what's worse, it doesn't work in 3.1! All I get is a black screen.

So NOT happy with Snapture right now.

Thanks very much for this, Patrick. They have been pretty good to their user base so far, so I have hope. We shall see what happens. I think at this point what will bother me most is if I wait to see what they do for us and miss out on the low promotional price point. I really don't feel the minor changes between this and the JB version are worth paying even 2 bucks for when I've already paid, though. Guess I'll see how much I end up missing the app before we get a response. 🙂

But rest assured that we're going to do what we can to help our loyal customer, we'll think of something. The team is working on figuring out how we can help our old customers. We will let you know soon.

That is the 'official message' from their CEO. He has also emailed me and put me in touch with one of their VPs who will follow up with me about jailbreak users.

Absolutely. Will do that now. I have a feeling their options are very limited in this respect – but we'll see.

Patrick, if you have an inside line to the devs it would be nice to hear their stance on how they're going to handle their old jailbreak customers. Some of us paid a pretty penny for this already and would like to know if that money is now thrown down the toilet since the build we paid for has been yanked from Cydia and they're now legit in the App Store. I e-mailed them, but haven't heard anything back and don't expect to. If they don't want to provide the people who had previously supported them with a promo code or something, it would be nice if they at least give us access to the older build that we paid for.

Glad to hear you're liking it. I'm not sure on the auto-focus – have asked the devs, as several people have mentioned this.
