Halide Camera App Sees Big Spike for Wildfire Sky Photos, Donates Sales

The popular iOS camera app Halide says it saw a huge increase in downloads this week by people needing a better way to capture orange skies from wildfire smoke. In response, Halide has donated a day of sales toward wildfire relief.
