Long time no see! We have been busy the past few months and here's why:

* Introducing Filter Packs!

We have completely redesigned the filter selection screen in order to offer you more filters! Starting from this update Horizon includes more than 25 filters from four different filter packs. The first two filters packs are free where as the 'Hollywood' and 'Sherlock' packs contain our premium filters.

Add this special movie flavour to your videos and photos using the Hollywood filter pack. 'Teal & Orange', 'Noir', 'Matrix', 'Post Apocalyptic', you name it!

If you also feel more adventurous you can add a filter from the Sherlock pack. Switch colours with 'Red Green Disguise', try the 'Lestrade Blue' or the 'Watson Red' and you will get some pretty interesting results!

* iOS 9 & iPhone 6s / iPhone 6s Plus ready

Horizon supports the latest iOS release including Home Screen Quick Actions via 3D Touch, as well as 4K resolution support for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus (Thank you Sebastian and Evan!)

* Better, Faster, Stronger

We have rewritten the internals of Horizon, which is now powered by our own Horizon SDK! If you are a developer and you want to learn more head over to http://horizon.camera/sdk. We will be happy to speak with you!

* Squassssh!

You hear that? It's the sound of a gazillion bugs being smashed! A lot of issues have been fixed across the board, from UI bugs to more elusive errors. Thank you all for your valuable feedback!

This pretty much covers this huge update which we have been working upon this whole summer. We really hope you will like what you see!
