App Store

Version 5.0 · 2026-10-20
Horizon 5.0 is ready for current iPhones and iPads. Camera - Auto lens mode now includes the ultra wide camera, and the zoom button steps through every lens. - More resolutions and frame rates, including 2K and larger sizes on supported devices. - Take photos and start recording with the volume buttons or Camera Control. - Switching crop modes (Flex, Rotate, Locked) is quicker and smoother. - The camera starts faster and no longer freezes while settings change. iPad - Use Horizon in resizable windows, Split View and Stage Manager. When iPadOS pauses the camera beside another app, Horizon tells you why. - AirPlay output now uses the external display. Widgets and extension - New Home…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
