Would this be the iOS 'alternative'? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47010018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47010018

  The pre-iOS 26 native camera app is good enough for me, and I really like Live Photos, which most alternatives don't handle. I had a one-time purchase to Halide, but it somehow stopped working in early 2025 because Halide support claimed that the app's feature unlock (used to be one-time upfront purchase, now IAP) only works if I'm logged into the App Store account I purchased it from.

    From description in Appstore: *Please note: Halide is not free. We do offer a 7-day free trial for annual memberships. Don't like subscriptions? You can also buy the app outright with a single in-app purchase.* Is that what you did?

      I bought Halide v1, which was an upfront purchase. They grandfathered all existing v1 purchasers, but the grandfathering somehow stopped working for me because I didn't buy it on my primary App Store account (I switch between regions, but pay for my non-free apps using my US account because they're usually cheaper).
