Great app, but an FYI for previous purchasers - you're supposed to be able to hit "Restore purchase" and get access to the new version without doing the new in-app purchase. It's currently bugged and will lock you out of the app, so hold off on updating.

They fixed it. Just downloaded the bugfixed version and it restored my purchase.

Confirmed, got the update and can get in to the camera now.

It sounds like we get one year free?

EDIT: I have "Early supporter membership"

> All current features available forever. Free updates until Oct 22, 2021.

24 minutes later from EU I downloaded the update and I’m locked out from Restore with a “Purchase Not Found” error.

That's the same error we were having, hopefully the update rolls out soon over there

I downloaded from Germany, hopefully you get the update soon as well

Sorry about the v1 upgrade experience. Sadly, it's hard to predict how long it takes the App Store CDN to propagate. A few years ago we had a launch that took 11 hours(!) before people started seeing it. Luckily we did not hit that snag this time, so hopefully you'll see it in the next few hours.

The free upgrade worked for me, but trying to sort out how to actually go back and pay (app + new stuff looked good, no reason not to pay for it) and I have to say, figuring out how to do that (and how to get back to the settings in general) was more than $10 worth of frustration.

By my calculations, you now owe me $2.71828 and I was trying to give you money!
