Hey all, I just submitted a new beta build to Apple for open testing via Testflight. Let us know if you run into any issues or if you have other feedback!
The goal of this update is to
- introduce additional power saving features to minimize device overheating allowing users to capture longer
- improve camera usability for all users
Performance improvements
The worst case scenario is when capturing with the map maximized and the device connected to a charger. In the table below you can see the time it takes to reach different thermal states before and after this update:
| Thermal state | Camera 2.0 | Camera 3.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Fair | 5 min | 48 min |
| Serious | 9 min | Never |
| Critical | > 60 min | Never |
UI/UX improvements
- improved map styling during capture
- in-camera settings
- lock the camera map to “north”
- other minor tweaks and improvements like new icons, capture timer, reminder to unplug charger etc
