Snapthread 1.8 is now available with a brand new business model and a gorgeous new icon designed by the incredibly talented Michael Flarup. The update includes mostly minor improvements, including the ability to select entire “Moments” of photos in one fell swoop as well as a button for quickly generating a video from your most recent photos.

There’s something about having a truly great icon that’s made me feel more dedicated to Snapthread than ever. There are so many improvements I still want to make as well—enough to keep me busy for a long, long time. In a way it’s become a sort of playground for me to practice and develop my programming skills, and I love the endless challenge of improving it.

Anyway, I hope you’ll consider giving Snapthread a try. You can use all of the app’s features for free with only two limitations: a watermark in the lower left corner and a 30-second limit for video exports.

Here are three things you can do quickly and easily with Snapthread:

• Stitch together Live Photos of your kids, pets, latest vacation, etc.
• Combine portrait videos for IGTV
• Mix Live Photos and regular videos together

Thanks for all of your support, and extra special thanks to my awesome beta testers and translators. I couldn’t do this without you!
