Retrospecs first appeared in the App Store twelve years ago today, which is a long time by anyone’s standards.

Whilst there’s not been much in the way of new features over the past few years, after doing a lot of tidy-up work I’ve been slowly working away on some bits and pieces.

Here’s a sneak preview of what’s coming later this year.

@thomasfuchs Ooo… nice.

What’s the Epson-esque portable below the ZX Spectrum +2 box?

I hope Retrospecs is behaving itself OK on iOS 26?

I don’t have any devices capable of running iOS 26, because money, but I did make a few tweaks based on what I could see in the simulators, so hopefully it’s not too bad. 🤞

You can now unlock the full version of the Retrospecs iOS app for only $0.99 / €0.99 / £0.99 until the New Year!

Version 3.5 of Retrospecs should be wending its way into the App Store over the next few hours.

In addition to some new app icons, this version removes the “source media or system proportions” option from settings. Instead you can now choose the aspect ratio to be used within the crop tool. (It’ll use your selection as the default until you change it.)

Hope you all enjoy!
