Release Notes

What changed in each version currently available on the App Store. Versions still in review are not listed.

The App Store only shows the notes for the latest version, so this page keeps the earlier ones too.

Video Saver & Player / iCap

Latest version: v8.1

v8.1 current

  • Fixed an issue where video downloads and mini-window preview playback stopped working on some sites.
  • Improved handling of links tapped from search results, which could open another app instead of the in-app browser.
  • Audio files such as MP3 can now be selected in "Import from Files" (they were previously greyed out). Imported audio keeps its original format.
  • Fixed video filenames becoming a meaningless string when importing from the Photos app.
  • Fixed empty folders being left behind when a download failed.
  • Added a setting to always open links in the same tab instead of a new one (on by default).
  • Moved the bookmark "Sites" list (shortcuts to major sites) to second from the left so it is easier to find.

  • Reduced memory usage in ad blocking.

v8.0

  • Added a "Custom" option to the device mode (User-Agent) picker.

  • Fixed an issue where titles could occasionally get swapped when saving multiple videos in a row.
  • Refreshed the app icon and launch screen design.

  • Added an always-visible seek bar and play button to the thumbnail picker screen.

  • Fixed several mistranslated or untranslated strings in the non-Japanese UI.
  • Links can now open in a new tab (tap, or "Open in new tab" in the long-press menu), with a confirmation dialog to prevent runaway pop-ups.

  • Video downloads can now continue briefly in the background after you switch away from the app.
  • Fixed an issue where the bookmark list sheet could close on a downward swipe even when not scrolled to the top.

Image Bulk Saver / iDig

Latest version: v11.9

v11.9 current

  • Fixed a crash that occurred right after starting deep digging or a large batch of image downloads.
  • Fixed the app being force-quit due to memory pressure when scrolling quickly through the folder list. Folder thumbnails are now decoded at display size instead of loading the original image at full resolution.
  • Fixed an issue where images could no longer be downloaded from some sites.
  • Fixed WebP images not being saved to the Photos app from the share menu. The Photos app does not support WebP, so choosing "Save Image" did nothing and showed no error - the images were stored inside the app, yet only the export to Photos failed. Images in formats the Photos app cannot handle are now automatically converted to JPEG or PNG when shared (the original file inside the app is kept as is).
  • Fixed the bottom menu bar covering the lower edge of the image in the image viewer (its background is transparent again).
  • Fixed a rare crash when selecting images in the thumbnail list.
  • Further improved out-of-memory crashes when handling many images at once (such as converting them to PDF).
  • Improved handling of links tapped from search results, which could open another app instead of the in-app browser.
  • Added a setting to always open links in the same tab instead of a new one (on by default).
  • Moved the bookmark "Sites" list (shortcuts to major sites) to second from the left so it is easier to find.

v11.8

  • Fixed an issue where downloading images in bulk could fail on some sites that require login.

  • Fixed issues where the folder list and thumbnail selection screens could force-quit the app depending on the timing of certain operations.
  • Fixed an issue where handling large image files could force-quit the app.

v11.5

  • You can now open the page an image was downloaded from, directly from the image selection menu in the thumbnail list.
  • Redesigned the Premium purchase screen so the difference between the monthly plan and the one-time purchase is easier to understand.

  • Fixed issues where the ad banner was not centered or extended beyond its display area.
  • Fixed an issue where the browser's URL bar could be overlapped and hidden by the ad area.

Combine Photos

Latest version: v3.2

v3.2 current

  • Added a setting to choose the save format (JPEG/PNG) for concatenated images. Try PNG if you notice blurring around text when combining images that contain text.
  • Switched photo selection to the standard iOS photo picker. Choosing many photos at once is faster, and photo library access permission is no longer required.
  • Redesigned the Premium purchase screen so its contents are easier to understand.
  • Improved the placeholder shown when no image is selected (easier to tap, more subdued color).
  • Fixed an issue where the button to open the image cropping screen was missing from the toolbar, making it impossible to open.
  • Fixed an issue where the border color toggle icon always showed gray instead of matching the selected color.
  • Fixed an issue where the top and bottom edges of images taller than the screen could be hidden behind the status bar or the bottom toolbar in the image viewer.
  • Fixed issues where the ad banner was not centered or extended beyond its display area.
  • Fixed an issue where files used internally by the app could appear in the list of saved items.
  • Removed the "x" icon on the top right of the ad banner (tapping it didn't actually close the ad and was causing confusion).

v3.1

  • Added passcode lock.
  • Refreshed the app icon and launch screen design.
  • Fixed an issue where translations were not applied and Japanese text remained shown even under non-Japanese language settings such as English.

  • Added the option to choose border colors other than white.

  • Fixed an issue where the app would sometimes freeze or crash after selecting images.
  • Fixed an issue where the app would occasionally crash when displaying images.
  • Made other stability improvements.

  • Since the folder size is always almost 0 in each cell of the memo, the display is cut.
  • Fixed the problem that the "Previous, Next" button did not work even if the order of the folders was changed, and the order was before or after the new order.
  • Fixed so that when a new memo is created, it is created under the currently displayed binder.

Reporting a problem

If something stopped working, or the app crashes on a particular action, please let me know through the contact form. Telling me the app name and version, your iOS version, and the exact steps that trigger it makes the cause much easier to find.

Fixes have to go through App Store review before they reach you, so it usually takes a few days between a report and a working build. A version appears on this page only once it is actually being distributed.
