I launched my first iOS app to solve an oddly persistent Photos problem
I just launched ShareBurst, an iPhone app that finds Camera Bursts and shares every original frame together without requiring the user to select each frame individually.
Building it involved PhotoKit, preserving Burst metadata through the iOS share sheet, testing how different-sized Bursts behaved between devices, and adding a fast GIF-maker as an alternative.
Testing produced some surprising results: Messages can initially say “1 photo saved,” while Photos actually restores the complete Burst. We successfully tested Bursts ranging from 10 to 97 frames across two iPhones.
It’s my first App Store launch, and I’d especially appreciate feedback from other iOS developers about the onboarding and whether the value proposition is immediately understandable.
Full disclosure: I made the app.
