Hello everyone, I wanted to pause from working on QuickPic and address some of the concerns that have arisen from QuickPic being acquired by Cheetah Mobile.
First, QuickPic is an app I've worked very hard on for the last several years. I'm very grateful that so many people use it and love it. But, in all honesty, having those same people leave 1-star reviews so quickly was very discouraging and disappointing. I have no intention of abandoning QuickPic, in fact I didn't just sell it off, me and the original QuickPic team have joined Cheetah Mobile to continue developing the app—but now with the resources to make the work sustainable.
Here are the important things to know about the future of QuickPic:
* QuickPic will always be free
* The same team is still working on the app
* We won't increase the number of sensitive app permissions requested
* Ads won't be coming soon
* New features will coming
We're on the same development path as before so you won't see things like app permissions change. We're also working on bringing features like photo editing and free cloud storage to the app in the near future.
While I'm talking about QuickPic and some behind-the-scenes workings of the team, there are a few things I wanted to say about independent app development.
I don't think most mobile users understand the hard time small and independent developers face trying to follow our passion creating these apps. To make a great mobile app takes a lot more time than it may seem. To continue supporting it and keeping it updated is equally as hard. The QuickPic team always had the dream of being acquired by a company with plenty of resources so that we could continue this work, but other companies didn't care about us the way Cheetah Mobile has.
The enthusiast Android community too, doesn't seem to understand the realities of monetizing these apps. It's very hard to get enough people to pay for an app. Including a donation button is a good idea, but only ever provided us with a few dollars. This isn't meant to be harsh, only to inform our fans and users about the realities and why we are happy to join Cheetah Mobile.
Cheetah Mobile has contributed a lot to Android and fixed many issues that Google and many smartphone companies could not. The fragmentation of the Android system is getting increasingly serious which could sabotage all Android users’ experience in the future. With the help of a company like Cheetah Mobile who is dedicated to solving problems and improving the Android ecosystem, I sincerely believe that QuickPic can grow faster and better in the future.
Thank you to everyone who has downloaded QuickPic and has given it a chance. I hope this eases any fears you might have and hope that you'll continue to be QuickPic users.
大家好，我打算先停下手上快图的活，谈谈快图被猎豹移动收购引起的一些想法。
首先，我在快图上花了好几年心血，也很感谢这么多用户一直以来的支持和厚爱。说实在，被同样一批人迅速地改投一星差评，令我非常受伤。我没想过要抛弃快图，没打算只是出售它，包括我在内的整个快图团队都会加入猎豹移动，继续开发该应用——而现在，猎豹提供的资源将让项目更具可持续性。
关于快图的未来方向，以下说几个重点：
* 永久免费
* 开发团队不变
* 不会增加敏感权限
* 近期内都不会有广告 （所以该来的还是会来吗）
* 将继续加入新功能 （所以臃肿化不可避了吗）
我们的开发路线不会改变，你也不会看到诸如权限剧增之类的事。近期还将会增加图片编辑和免费云储存等功能。
那么，既然在说快图和它的幕后开发工作，我也想说一些关于独立应用开发的话：
我觉得大多数移动用户都不了解小团队和独立开发者开发应用到底有多艰难。开发一款好应用所花的时间比表面上要多得多，后续更新和支持同样非常累人。我们团队一直希望被底子厚的公司收购，如此一来这活才好继续干下去——而其它公司都不像猎豹移动那么在乎（关照？）我们。
安卓爱好者社区貌似也不能理解这些应用的变现需求，它们很难获得足够的用户资金支持。加个捐赠按钮看着不错，但只有极少数人会捐个几刀（我捐了50RMB）。不是要说什么难听的话，只是想让我们的支持者和用户明白实际情况，知道我们为什么乐意加入猎豹移动。
猎豹移动对安卓作出了不少贡献，修复了很多Google和大部分智能手机企业没搞定的问题。日益严重的安卓碎片化问题将影响到所有安卓用户的体验，而有了像猎豹移动这种着力改善安卓生态的公司的帮助，我真心相信快图会发展得更快更好。
感谢所有下载了快图，为它带来机遇的人。我希望这篇文能消除你的忧虑，也衷心希望你能继续使用快图。
渣翻请见谅。多余的话我就不说了。
