Bug Fixes. Crashes when using the camera has to do with available memory on the device at the time of using the camera. Sometimes, if the device has very little memory, the os will shut down the app. I have provided a fix (but not a solution) that should reduce the frequency of crashes. It is always a good idea, once in a while, to remove unused apps from running in the background :). 1.1 05/24/2013 1.0 04/26/2013
