The zine shelf is now a ring of books you can favorite, rename and drag to reorder; cover text can be moved, resized, reworded and recolored one piece at a time; Quick Export plays the insert's Live too, and flipping to the back no longer exports the front.

New "Collage base": pick a grid, then drop in several photos at once; exporting many Lives together is several times faster; "New" no longer carries over photos from the last canvas.

Added postcard and photo-frame styles, and Easy mode is smoother now: auto-composition on import, adjustable decoration size, and prettier color palettes.
[Journal]
New "Adjust" tools let you crop, warp, and mask your photos; we also fixed a bug that could occasionally freeze the app, and saving photos is more reliable now.
Thank you for sticking with WalkColor! Our little 1.5-person team will keep working hard to make it more fun — and make you even more beautiful!
2.23.0 6 Jul
[Critical Bug Fix]
Thanks to your active feedback, we caught and fixed a serious bug that was causing some users to lose stickers in their Pin collage drafts!
This happened because, to shrink the app and reduce lag, we had removed some stickers that were used less often or were fairly redundant.
Collage drafts that already lost their stickers sadly can't be recovered, but we'll keep adding prettier stickers and templates in the future.
Finally, thank you for your continued support of WalkColor. Our little 1.5-person team will work even harder to make WalkColor more fun — and make everyone even more beautiful!
