    Over its 8 years on the App Store, Obscura has been much numerous times around the world, including as Editors’ Choice and App of the Day.

    Design
    Obscura squeezes a bunch of powerful features into simple controls anyone can master. The interface balances aesthetics, ergonomics, and intuitiveness. You won’t want to use anything else. Controls can be reached with one thumb, and gestures and haptics combine to create a tactile experience that lets you stay focused on your subject.

    Camera Settings
    Obscura gives you control over exposure, focus, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, and flash, with intuitive controls that make you feel in control of your device’s camera.

    View Options
    Obscura lets you display a grid, a spirit level, a histogram, focus peaking, a focus loupe, and exposure clipping highlights to help you understand every detail of what you’re shooting.

    Photo Library
    Obscura has its own interface for browsing, rating, editing, and sharing images, but it’s fully integrated with your system photo library, so images captured with Obscura are available everywhere.

    Obscura Ultra
    Obscura is free to use, with an annual subscription for premium features. See http://obscura.camera/ultra for full details.

    I hope you love using Obscura as much as I’ve loved designing and building it. If you do, please consider subscribing to Ultra, leaving a review, or just sharing with a friend.

    translate the following into arabic, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese, and put the result in a code block for each language:
    Fixes:
    - Removed the dedicated video output for the Loupe
    - Which fixes 4K at 60fps video recording
    - and hopefully the super weird capture bug affecting futuristic operating systems
    - Also fixed a bug when tapping filters in the filter picker when not showing All Filters
    - Possibly fixed a bug with the spirit level. Haven’t been able to replicate so I’m not 100% sure here
    - Fixed some unnecessary haptics firing during video recording
    - Fixed the Request Review prompt (window levels, who would have guessed)
