The CEO of Snapture Labs, the developers of the very cool camera application Snapture, has released a letter to jailbreak customers. A couple days ago we informed you that Snapture (formally a jailbroke application) had made it’s way to the App Store. This left many of us wondering where those of us who purchased it as a jailbroke app stood. Well, the company has decided to address the issue giving everyone who purchased Snapture as a jailbroke app a free upgrade to the App Store version of the app. Below is the letter from the CEO with specifics of how and when you can receive the upgrade.

Thanks to Kevin for the tip!

Dear Snapture Jailbreak Customers,

I’m sure you have been following Snapture’s tremendous success on AppStore so far. We’ve shot up to #12 on the AppStore rankings in under 48hrs, and have gotten overwhelmingly great reviews from some of the biggest tech blogs, including Gizmodo, Wired and CNET. None of this could have been possible without the support of our loyal jailbreak users – so please accept our utmost gratitude.

Despite our great success, some of our most loyal jailbreak customers were left wondering what is going to happen to their Snapture licenses moving forward. We heard you through email, twitter and blogs of how you felt that we had left you in the cold. Let me assure you that we never forgot about you guys. It’s simply taken a couple of extra days to get our systems online for the impending migration which we are now prepared to rollout.

What are our plans?
Clear and simple, we’re offering every Snapture jailbreak customer a Free upgrade to the new Snapture on AppStore.

How are we going to do this?
The process is straightforward, but it does require a bit of work on your side.

Steps to obtain Free upgrade to Snapture AppStore:

This free upgrade will be offered for 1 week only – we plan to have a refund marathon session once we receive everyone’s requests. Again, please be very patient with us as it is an extremely tedious and manual process dealing with Paypal and Google Checkout.

Thanks again for your constant support. We look forward to continue serving you in AppStore.

Regards,
Bowei Gai

Snapture’s Picture-in-Picture (QuickView) feature is a patent-pending technology built from the ground up with the user in mind. Snap a picture and instantly see the result in the corner of your screen. Need a closer look? Simply press and hold the picture. Want to email a good picture or delete a bad one? Simply slide the thumbnail across the screen. You’ll never have to access the camera roll again!

Need Zoom? Simply use your fingers to Pinch and Pan the viewfinder like you would with a normal photo, Snapture’s patent-pending multi-touch zoom technology will take care of the rest. Capture exactly what you want. 5X zoom for the most discerning of photographers.

►But wait. There’s more!(RIP Billy Mays)◄

Snapture’s full-function feature set also includes:

✓ High Speed Multishot: 3 rapid fire snaps to capture every moment of action.
✓ Easy Snap: Tap anywhere on screen to take a photo. You know you’re hot – take self-photos!
✓ TouchZone: Stabilize or cancel your shot using TouchZone.
✓ Multiple Image Sizes: Most camera apps reduces image quality, Snapture allows for capture at full resolution.
✓ Level Aid
✓ Auto/Manual Save

• Price: FREE! Snapture is 100%, absolutely FREE. We love making great software and we hope that you’ll support us through donations. Please help us fund future projects. We’ve got some great ideas to taking iPhone photography to the next level, but we really need your help.
• Easy Self Photo: One of the most annoying aspects of the iPhone’s Camera app is the fact that you have to tap a tiny button in order to snap a photo. This makes it extremely difficult to try and take a photo of yourself. With Snapture, taking ‘Self’ photos is easy! Simply tap anywhere on the iPhone screen or use the volume button to take a photo.
• Digital Zoom: With Snapture, you don’t have to worry about stepping forward or backwards to get the perfect shot. Our 3x max digital zoom slider helps you frame exactly what you want in your shots.
• Burst Mode: Taking photos with a camera phone is inherently difficult because you really need a steady hand. With Snapture’s fast and slow burst modes, you can capture three frames in a row to make sure you get that perfect shot.
• Multiple Image Sizes: Snapture lets you take photos in three different sizes: Large (1600×1200), Medium (1280×960) and Small (960×720).
• Color Modes: With Snapture you can take photos in either Full Color or Grayscale color modes.
• Timer: Turn-on the timer to delay photo taking by 5 seconds. Just enough time to join in on group shots.
• Toggle Auto Rotation: The basic iPhone Camera app will not let you take a photo upside down. Photos are rotated automatically even if you’re an advanced user trying to take a creative shot. With Snapture you can turn Auto Rotation off should you desire.
• Silent Mode: Take photos without disturbing anyone by turning off audible feedback.
• Use Leveler: The use leveler provides a visual aid for taking photos at different angles.
