Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Hey there! This time we worked behind the scenes to make your captures more
reliable, especially your image galleries.
Improvements you should notice:
• Gallery images now save to your Mac and sync across your devices through
iCloud, so they keep showing even after the original social links expire
• Fixed an issue where images sometimes did not load in the detail view
• Smarter image loading with caching and automatic retries, so pictures
appear faster and stay put as you browse
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements
Like what we're building? We'd love a review on the App Store! It helps more
people discover Trace, and it reminds us why we keep doing this.
Got feedback? We read and reply to every email, so feel free to reach out!
