<p>Hi Tom - Yesterday, I downloaded v1 to my iPhone 4s, and it seems to work fine except for one thing: It says that it is saving the photo, but then the photo never appears in my "camera roll" or anywhere else that I can see. Any ideas?</p>

<p>Tom M</p>

<p>Hi Tom- Thanks for your note! You are correct that Cameleon works great with the iPhone 4 and I'm glad you're giving it a try! I'd suspect that when the app asked for access to your photo roll you tapped No? if so, the app is unable to save pictures. Rest assured that Cameleon only access your photo roll to save images and for no other purposes. To change this, tap Settings >>Privacy >> Photos >> and then change the Cameleon slider from Off to ON. If this isn't the case please let me know...<br>

also, V1.1 will be out in the next few days and it will greatly expedite the save time - stay tuned!</p>

<p>Hi Tom - Thank you for the quick response. Fortunately, or unfortunately, when I first ran into this problem, the very first thing I tried was your suggestion (ie, to make sure the privacy settings allowed your program to access the photo roll). It was set correctly. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Tom</p>

<p>Thanks for the info Tom! Very sorry that didn't fix your issue. I sent you an email (using the link here on photo.net)... </p>

<p>for others: Tom and I exchanged email and discovered that he has an iPhone 4S which Cameleon 1.0 does not support.<br>

The only officially supported device is the iPhone 5, however it does work w/ iPhone 4, all iPods w/ cameras, and iPads 2, 3, 4, and mini. iOS 6+<br>

We're actively working to officially support older platforms.. stay tuned!</p>
