What's New

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.

App Description

Be surprised every day! You can also look up any day of the year, perfect for special occasion days like birthdays and anniversaries!

Features:
- Enable notifications for when you have Flashback photos
- Today widget
- iMessage app
- Favorite or delete a photo from within the app
- Include or exclude this years photos
- Share a photo using the build-in system share sheet
- Your privacy is important, especially regarding your photos. All of the functionality of the app is done locally on your device, even notifications. When downloading a photo from iCloud, the app asks iOS to do it. Sharing is done only when the user chooses to do it.
