New in Photo Flashback 5.1:
- Restores the iMessage app.
- Fixes an issue where changing settings wouldn't refresh the Flashback view.
- Fixes an issue where settings wouldn't sync to the Today widget.
From the previous release:
Photo Flashback 5 is a complete rebuild of most of the app. Here's what's new:
- A new, simpler design for the app
- Support for dark mode
- Support for Haptic Touch
- Ability to hide photos from the context menu
- The timeline view now shows the currently selected date
- The timeline view scrolls to the currently selected date instead of today's date
- Multiple window support for iPad
- Keyboard support for iPad
- Many bug fixes
The changes in the code should make it easier to add new features. This release removed the Watch app. I'll add it back as soon as I can. Let me know if this was important for you.

The first thing you'll notice in this version is that the app is now a bit less... grey. I hope you like it!
The second thing one might notice is that the app is now free. All features will be unlocked for free for everyone who already owns the app. The app might ask you to authenticate with the App Store on the first launch. If you choose, you can further support the development of this app by buying the in-app purchases anyway.
Also, the watch app has now been upgraded to watchOS 2 so it's now much faster!
Further changes include:
- The app will now show you photos from Shared iCloud Streams and photos synced from iTunes.
- You can now view photos taken on the 29th of February. It will also work properly on the leap day of 2020 (and all future leap days).
- The usual miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.
As always, please leave a review after you update, and tell your friends to download the app!
