Where are my pics???. I have not used my Hipstamatic app in a few weeks. I normally use it frequently throughout a week and refer to my “Shot with Hipstamatic” album often. Today I opened the app and all the photos in that album are gone! I had backed up most of them so that’s not a problem. But I use that album heavily and had many pics in there that I was using. I just LOVE having them there for convenience & referring to for favorite gear combos. Where did my album go??? I’ve not changed anything & can’t figure out what happened. Please help!! I want my album back.

No updates. No support for iPhone 13 Pro’s wide-angle camera. The UI is a mess, but at least it’s not as bad as Hipstamatic X, which sort of supports the new camera (in Hipstamatic X, you can make the wide camera default, but if you switch away from it, you can’t switch back without force-quitting the app). Hipstamatic has long had the richest filters for taking captivating photos, while simultaneously being held back by trying to be a lifestyle brand. I can’t think of any other company that so fundamentally misunderstands the root of their success to the profound detriment of their product. You guys have great tech for photo enthusiasts. Own that fact and start making serious software for serious users, even if you find doing so boring.

Rediscovered treasure. Kind of dropped using my Hipstamatic app because my phone became so old and I had also come to rely on using the editing tools on Instagram... Now I have a new phone and even though I’m less interested in sharing photos on social media, I’m having so much fun playing with Hipstamatic again. And sharing via T’s t. This app offers so many possibilities!

Photo Editor is incredibly inconsistent. Still full of lots of great filters but it seems like the editing photos features have really taken a dive since the last time I used it. For example, there a used to be a slider you could apply to your filter combos. That seems to have been removed, so now you have to individually adjust the film/lens/flash settings instead of all at once. That wrecked a couple of my custom combos that relied on that feature for adjustments. Additionally, you have no idea when you’ll be able to remove a frame from a photo. Sometimes you can, and sometimes you can’t. The editing buttons at the bottom of the screen are way too low and hard to tap. Stick with Snapseed or the Photos app if you need basic editing. This is way too buggy for quick edits.

Amazing App for Amateurs and Pros alike!!. I’m an amateur you photographer to the max, but Hipstamatic has helped me take photographer level pictures!!! I’ve used this app for family pictures and then edited them in the app. I also use VSCO, and I will only ever use those two. Thank you Hipstamatic for existing and making this photography fan be able to take pro level photos!! I own all the packs!!

Worth Buying An iPhone For This App Alone.... ...and I mean that. There’s nothing else like it in the App Store, and nothing else that gives you the flexibility and creativity to make your photos your personal art. The option to either shoot with your choice of lens/film/flash combo, or edit afterwards is great, depending on the situation - PLUS, it’s an educational experience learning about each film/lens/flash function and history. And the more you learn, the better you get. This has changed my approach to photography and I love it. Can’t recommend it enough.

Are you even reading the reviews?. Update: Still a buggy app, too many new releases without issues being addressed. The first Friday rarely shows up on a Friday and then you must update the app and your iOS. It seems like arm twisting with these constant ‘update’ before you purchase our product tactic. So you update and it still tells you to update. I so miss the app that first came out years ago. Simple and fun. Dear Hipstamatic, From what I am seeing and reading there are a bunch of us long time Hipstamatic users that wish you would have made your new version a stand alone app. Or waited to release when the bugs were all figured out. But you keep releasing new films and lenses ( which are not available to those that didn't upgrade ) and the bugs keep marching on. The thing I keep hearing from my Hipsta friends is that if we wanted to post process photos there is already numerous apps out there that do just that. The fun of this app was that it made you think about films and lenses and what would work for that particular photo. Now there's not much to think about because you can just 'fix it' after the fact. Come on let's get this right. Do some maintenance work on the 280, take the new one out for some major fixing and make the pro version a stand alone.

❤️ Hipstamatic Classic!. So fun to vintage-style my less-than-perfect photos! I’m sticking with this classic version, purchasing add-on filters, etc. as they become available (I’ve amassed quite a collection). Love what these retro-flavored filters can do to my average photos; and enjoy applying various filters, lenses, flashes, grains, etc., to see what I can create. Especially appreciate being able to edit my photos on iPad Pro in landscape (thank you!!) mode. Highly recommended for those who love retro style!

Hipstamatic. Fix your crashing problem after your last update. I’ve been a long time user and have a lot of money invested in this app and this happens after every update. I’ve reinstalled twice and it still isn’t completely fixed. I belong to Hipsta groups and have seen many others complain. Maybe investing some of that profit into better technology and customer service would help. You have a great app and it’s a shame when I hear people say it’s only good for editing because you can’t use the camera. Kind of pathetic no?

Crashamatic. When this app is working, it’s a lot of fun, but they still have issues crashing. Every time I try to edit a photograph, it crashes. I’ve spent A LOT of money on this app and for it to no longer work is a great disappointment. They had the app working again a few weeks ago for both the iPhone and the iPad. Unfortunately it’s crashing so soon that you can’t take or edit a photo. Every time they update the app, it becomes worthless again. The fun to be had is only available during a small sweet spot of time

Faithful, but.... Update 4/7/17... Why??? Just updated the app, purchased the Fisheye snap pak and now it’s crashes every time I open it. Soooooo disappointing! Happening again... why is it too much to ask for this to run smoothly? I’ve spent so much money on this! It’s like you guys gave up. While I absolutely love Hipstamatic - been there since the beginning and have every single pak that’s been released. It’s one of my fave photography apps. However, lately this app has been crashing, and the only remedy seems to be removing the app, reloading it, and restoring all my purchases. This is now the 2nd time (the app has crashed many time before but I’ve never had to delete and restore). I’ve spent too much to delete this app completely. Please fix.

Best vintage camera for iOS since the beginning!. I’ve not spent more money on any other iOS app let alone a vintage toy camera app. It’s always had the best filters and effects, and updates are fruitful....HOWEVER. I’m disappointed Hipstamatic doesn’t have iPhone X support yet (December!) apps that take this long are all getting one star taken away for posterity since early adopters are having iPhone 5 feels all over again. ALSO. IF SUPPORT CAN REACH OUT I have a few packs I’ve bought in the past on my first Hipsta account that I can’t recover for the life of me.

From a Joy to a Chore. I’ve been using Hipstamatic for years, invested in a lot of the filters and have had nothing but a five star experience up until a few months ago. It seems to coincide with the release of iOS 11 and more importantly iPhone X. Since then, my go-to app for genuinely terrific photography has crashed, frozen, failed to save, etc. If the developer keeps crash reports, there’s got to be a whole library by now just for me given the number of times this app has let me down and yet I keep coming back to it. I can echo a lot of recent reviews by saying “Come in guys...”. I understand the desire to make the software compatible with the newest technology but if it is at the expense of the experience of loyal users who have invested a great deal of time and more than a little money on extras, you’re not doing your due diligence when it comes to addressing issues with ‘recent’ technology. I’ve hoped after every of the last 5 or so updates that the bugs would be quashed, yet in many cases the experience is worse rather than better. I’m hanging in there guys but please reward my and others patience with a functional app before we find something that doesn’t consume half our time retracing our steps over and over.

A+ photo app with great customer service. Hipstamatic’s lenses, filters, and flashes bring another dimension to mobile photography. From heavy-handed saturation or grain to subtle color shifts, there’s always a combo waiting to be discovered. No matter how good the shot, Hipstamatic never fails to add something interesting to the image - inspiring me to shoot even better. Hipstamatic’s achievement in mobile photography editing is only matched by its customer support. As the Hipstamatic ambassador, Allan is always there to answer all my questions with his prowess as a technical guide. Thank you to everyone at Hipstamatic for the inspiration, support, and memories…and, hopefully, many more years to come.

Perennial Favorite, needs patching. I have been using Hipstamatic for years, and it’s my favorite go-to camera for many reasons. I prefer it over the default Apple camera app and even the newer Histamatic X (although I’m using that more these days too...) The most recent version has stopped working with RAW files for some reason. It still works if I shoot in JPG mode, and HX works with the new Apple RAW, so I know it’s something in this app. Hopefully we’ll see this fixed soon. I don’t use the print shop much, but it’s a great feature and the print quality is excellent. I do wish the devs would provide better support for more social platforms, or at least a better hand-off for sharing. It used to cover the big players, but those built in share features starting failing bit by bit. They even had their own social platform, Oggl, but that just quietly floundered with ever-increasing dead zones until they finally just abandoned it. I thought Oggl was great, but I guess the devs decided they didn’t want to compete with IG - which is a shame because the ecosystem needs alternatives. It’s not too late to hop on board, it’s still a good app. I hope it still works if I upgrade to the newest Pro Max.

Once My Favorite, But Now Just Rubbish. Current Review: Updating to 340 was the biggest mistake I ever made with an App. I used to love Hipstamatic, but this update makes the app practically unusable on my iPad Mini, Now the camera is off frame by about 50%, meaning that only about half my recorded frame is what I expected to capture. Additionally, it used to be easy to flip my camera around and customize my lens/film choice. Now I have to dial through a variety of "favorite cameras." This is just awful. v.280 was probably the last good version. Older Review: For a long time I held off updating from v.280. Now that I've updated to 305, I regret it. Not only did my case from the Long Island Free Pak not make the transfer, but when shooting in relatively low light with moderate light sources, my results show artifacts from failed rendering, bright blue and red pixilization in the highlights and green pixilization in the shadows. The problem first showed in the much touted manual mode and persisted through classic mode. I shot three snaps, all with problems, using a neville+daydream setup. (Now that I'm on v.340, I wish I still had v.305.)

It’s OK... but can disappoint. As the overall 4.8 out of 5 rating indicates, this app has captured the hearts and imagination of a lot of folks... but the preponderance of recent reviews reflect my experience with both my iPhone8+ and iPad Pro... sadly,the app crashes at the most inconvenient moments. When the camera, lenses, films, and flashes work, the images can be stunningly satisfying... and editing images, with the options of changing lenses and films after the fact, is very nice... provided things don’t crash. My recommendation is to go ahead and get the app, but don’t go crazy getting the add-on lenses, films and flashes until you get a sense of how the basic camera works on your device. Otherwise, you may find it incredibly frustrating to have spent money and time tooling-up and exploring the possibilities... only to end up with a crash-prone and buggy app. On the good side: the developers seem to be available, and my experience with them has been quite positive. There’s a lot that must be going on “under the hood” of this app, and making every device play nice must be very difficult. We can only hope the crashes get fixed in the next update.

Best ever app. Quite a few yrs ago, a friend convinced me that buying an iPhone would change my life. He also told me he’d pick some apps for me that would also be life-changing. The only photo app he chose for me was Hipstamatic. Hipstamatic (& iPhone) WERE life changing. My creativity soared. I have, since then, purchased many additional photo apps, but none come close to Hipstamatic. It is simply glorious. And, their Customer Service is prompt & reliable. Just The Best.

Love the App, love the customer service. I have used this photo app for years and probably 90% of the iPhone photos I take are on this app. They have kept it updated and working smoothly over the years. Always look forward to the new monthly lens/film combos they release. The very few time I had any issues, the customer service was excellent! A very quick and personalized response and action taken if needed. They also respond quickly to questions for help/information in the same manner. Have also used their photo print service with excellent results. Very pleased with prints received! Recommend this app for anyone interested in taking their photography in a creative direction.

Useless constant crashing. I’ve had Hipstamatic on my iPhones since the beginning, an have loved it for as long as it was loveable. It is no longer, and has been so for a while now. The company’s focus shifted from being a really cool, fun to use, reliable camera to a new pack every month (often with none to little differentiation from packs of the past) to continually try to extract more money from loyalists, all the while ignoring stability issues. It doesn’t matter that I own all but about three of the film/lens packs, They can’t be used at all because the app just CRASHES almost immediately EVERY TIME I TRY TO USE IT. Way to ruin something great with your greed and carelessness. My belated Christmas gift to myself will be to delete this useless junk app, save myself a whole lot of frustration, and get on with taking photographs with some other app that actually works. Update: Bought a new phone, and this tired app still crashes constantly making it unusable. I found the solution though. Delete! Bye bye.

Longtime User. I loaded Hipstamatic several years ago. I found it fun and always grabbed any special or free offers when I found them. Since then I've become a more frequent buyer. As many folks, I hopped around to try other apps. But never let go of Hipstamatic. I have an on and off again usage history with this app. It's always been my Ace in the hole. Recently a new film Pak was released and it fired me up again. I had a few questions about matching lenses with films and finding my favorites. I wrote to service. I'm happy to say the problem was me. The app is perfect. I'm still running my iPhone 6s and enjoy it and Hipstamatic together. One of the fastest service responses I've had with any company in years. A responsive and knowledgeable tech walked me through the process. Thanks Hipstamatic!

Purchases?. I loved this app, and would rate it 5, but last night I encountered an issue... I purchase Nakazakicho pak, and received an error message as it attempted to download it. It reads, "Receipt does not match product. Forbidden." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Logging in and out. And now, all but about three of my paks say the same thing. I'm not sure if this has to do with hipstamatic x, as the lens and film show up there. But it is rather bothersome and would like to use both versions of the app.

Solid 5 star review with one request. Thank you for soldiering on with this app. I was introduced to it by Denmark’s most celebrated photo journalist, who raves about it. I’ve been In love ever since. The only suggestion I have, along with at least one other reviewer, is that there is a feature overload. Make some choices for us and/or make it easier to navigate. I trust your aesthetic and would use the app more often if I didn’t get overwhelmed so much. With this said, I love the app and it deserves a full five stars. Screw Instagram.

Terrific Customer Service!. I’ve been using and enjoying creating imagery with Hipstamatic since 2010, when I first discovered the app while leading a photo tour in Morocco. What originally drew me to the app was the look and feel it had like a separate and unique camera, and the unpredictability and fun of pairing the many different lenses and films. So I was very disappointed when I started experiencing continued crashing over the past months. I first contacted Hipstamatic Support in early August and received an immediate reply from Allan. He asked a lot of questions and then, had me do a few tests, and also had me send him some diagnostic information, which he then passed on with a log I sent him, to Hipstamatic developer, Ryan, for investigation. We communicated regularly over the next month, with Allan keeping me up to date on the progress they were making with the crashing issue. In late September, Allan wrote that they had an update to Hipstamatic that was in beta testing and told me that as soon as that new version was fully tested, it would be sent to Apple for approval. He said they hoped to have the update out soon. And now, with the update to Hipstamatic Version 352, it appears that this problem is solved! Thank you, Allan, and the rest of the Hipstamatic team, for your hard work on my behalf..and for the many, many photographers who have been creating with this wonderful app for so long. I’m glad I was patient!

Absolutely fascinating.. This camera, though it must be purchased in bits and pieces, is my official new favorite right now because of its ability to allow selection of lenses for the varying moods of a shoot. It’s a spectacular new toy for my arsenal. It’s got so many controls, though, that the initial purchase should come with a link to learn the basic ins and outs of the program in order to save some time. I’m not a techie, but, rather, an old fart. The program should be easy for everyone, not just 18 year old kids. Remember where their money for purchases comes from... yes, dear, old fart dad or mom. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to unload about a hundred dollars in purchases over time and loves taking fabulous photos.

Ggrmp. I can’t contact support service to let you know that the app keeps crashing. If I can get it to work, it will not display favorites and is working really slow. It won’t save the picture I’ve taken. I love this app and have used it for years, just wanted to let you know there are a few problems since the last update. ❤️

Fantastic app, amazing support. This is an incredibly fun and versatile app that will jumpstart your creativity. The customer service and support is amazing. I accidentally miss-entered my email address, and was not able to access my account. I didn’t realize it until a few years after purchasing some add-ons, and found I couldn’t access them. I received prompt and very helpful personalized service and was able to get everything back on track quickly. Highly recommend it!

Crash and burn. I purchased Hipstamatic approximately one week ago and it worked flawlessly until this morning. I have really wrung this app out and found nothing wrong with it until, wait for it, until I updated my iOS. I updated to IOS 11.4.1 this morning and it has crashed regularly since then. I can only surmise that it is not the apps fault or the developers fault but it simply does not perform well under the latest iOS update. Hopefully, the developers will soon release an update incorporating changes that fix the problems with the latest iOS. I hope so because I have sunk a ton of money into this app and it’s add-ons.

From Flash to Crash. I began using Hipstamatic what it first came out on my iPhone 3. I loved it. It was my go to photo app. I bought sooooo many of the “films”, lenses, covers & extras. I absolutely loved this app. However, it crashes constantly now. I’ve not been able to take a single photo with it. I’m a professional photographer by trade for the military, so this is my fun app. I really loved it. I was thrilled to see it back & improved, until I tried to use it I open it, try changing the film &/or lens, go to take a photo, and crash. Try reopening it, crash, crash, fail. I’m truly bummed out. I hope the developer can fix it. I have an iPhone 7+ now, and probably won’t upgrade for another year or two, but when I do...I hope things are fixed. Shoot, I hope they get fixed now. You guys created an awesome app. Please fix the problems. Thanks! A loyal Hipstamatic fan, even with the crappy crashing.

Fantastic app but crashes too much. I have loved this app since I bought it 3 years ago especially since it started supporting RAW photos but recently it has started to crash and close out 9 out of 10 times I open it to try and take a picture. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason behind it, the screen just goes black and takes me back to my iPhone home screen. I have tried restarting my phone but doesn’t really eliminate the problem. Not sure if it’s the app or the phone or the os. I have a brand new iPhone 8, and it’s really frustrating that this keeps happening, it ruins being able to capture certain moments. Hopefully there is an update or fix coming soon.

Crashing - otherwise great app. I’ve been using Hipsta for some years on and off. I just upgraded my phone and I was looking forward to trying the new lenses with a Hipsta look. Well, not so fast. First, the camera viewfinder is a blur (?) so I cannot see what I’m pointing at to shoot. Second, it crashes when trying to set the shutter speed. Since the update iOS 14 it doesn’t work at all. I hope you guys can fix these bugs. Otherwise, it has always been a great alternative for creative shooting.

Nobody helps after almost 5 years. I haven’t been able to access my 200 Library since 2018 and there is nothing solid done yet to fix the problem, my app weighs almost 5 gigs of data and I spent a good amount of money on this app buying a lot of packages but it seems that this company only cares about taking and not giving so don’t be deceived don’t support it you won’t be supported back, they will only explain why they haven’t been able to help you in any way every single time, and apparently Apple also doesn’t care because they still haven’t engage in my problem and supported me neither.

Random feature disappeared!. Been using the app since the beginning and bought every pack released. Have loved the cool combos I got when using the random film/lens feature on my photos. As of the latest release this feature now appears to be gone. Now the app is nearly worthless to me. Avoid like the plague if they're going to remove useful features going forward. You'll get no more purchases from me until the random feature is back and you DEFINITELY won't get me promoting or sharing this app for some xmas lenses that you hope can paper over your removal of features.

developers are attentive, now looking for more features. so I posted a review a few months ago about a glitch I was experiencing with the app, I received an email promptly from the development team asking specific questions about the problem and they were very attentive. I was impressed by the level of care with which they addressed the issue. now I am wondering, is it possible to add a self timer feature? or maybe an apple watch extension so you can take a picture from the watch? it would be nice to take group pictures and selfies from farther away.

Great Product, Great Customer Service!. This is a terrific app for taking a good photo and making it something really special. It's a delight for those of us who enjoy tweaking images, bringing out subtlety or really mangling something. Sure, you can do a lot to give an image a certain retro look, but the amount of control makes Hipstamatic something much more than that. Often, I find myself adding just a splash of field depth or making fine curve adjustments. Of course, all the lenses, films, and so on make for great inspiration as well. As for the customer service, I recently had an issue with a purchase and they responded immediately. They straightened everything right out quickly and kindly. Thanks!

What's with all the hype?. I consider myself a professional photographer. I have photographed weddings, events and have done fine arts photography. All of my photography has been done using professional 35mm cameras. That being said, I have decided that I would get into iPhone photography. After trying many iPhone photography apps I decided to give Hipstamatic a try. After trying it for about two weeks I am not sure what all the positive feedback with Hipstamatic is about. I am pretty sure I don't like the Hipstamatic app. Plus, the extras attached to the app is too expensive. Delete!

Love the app but.... I absolutely love this app. I got my first iPhone in 2008 and this was the first app I purchased. From that minute I was hooked. This is the only app I don’t mind spending money on. In ten years, through updates and changes, the one thing I wish you’d update is the ability to purchase a featured film/lense combo and be able to push a button and have it automatically set in the camera. Currently I have to remember the name of the film and lense get out of that area go change the lense then go back and change the film all to just TRY it out a few times since it’s new. Other than that everything is perfect!!!

Crashes with the IOS 11 Update. Hipstamatic has been one of my favorite apps for years. I use it regularly and have purchased pretty much every Pak that’s come out. I just updated my iPhone 5s and iPad Pro to IOS 11 and since I updated, Hipstamatic has become unusable on my iPad. Constant crashing when trying to open a photo from the albums, so can’t edit. Works fine on the iPhone. I do all my photo work on my iPad though because of the larger screen, so having it not work is disappointing and frustrating. I’m also in several Hipstamatic groups online and am now unable to participate. Please, please fix! Will be happy to re-review and give it more stars when it’s working and usable again.

Only Camera App I Still Use Consistently. Ever since I downloaded this app years ago when it first came out, I have always appreciated that the app is easy to use, has all of the settings options and formats for photos and video that I want, and is unique from all of the other apps like it with the HipstaPaks, my favorite feature. The filters are good also, I just wish there were more filter sets available for purchase. I also wish HipstaPaks were released more frequently. I can tell that the developers actually read emails and customer suggestions because not too long after I requested the ability to download all of the old HipstaPaks that I missed because they were on an old account I no longer had access to, they showed up in the app available to buy. I only spend money on apps that are well made that I use a lot & are available to buy for one price upfront, I will never spend money on a subscription (unless it’s a video app like Netflix). I like the newest upgrades also, keep up the good work and I’ll continue to support your app and buy future HipstaPaks (and hopefully more filter sets!).

Still my favorite app for creative photography. And you can have the photos printed out too!!!. I’ve been using this app in all of its iterations since the year it came out. I liked what it started out as, and I love what it’s turned into. Ȯggl was cool but is a complete ghost town now, so don’t bother, but it’s 2018 and Hipstamatic is still my favorite app for creative and fun photography. And you can have the photos printed out too!!!

The best and most fun camera app!. How can I count the number of ways in which this app is awesome? The infinite number of ways to customize photos? All the super duper (and reasonably priced) Hipsta paks from which to choose? The nifty Xmas freebies? The efficient and fabulous support team (thanks, Allan!)? Now that the glitches of a month or so ago have been solved, this app is perfect again. It’s my go-to and will be forever.

CRASHES ALL THE TIME!!!. I used to LOVE this app. Now it only works sometimes. When I says “works” I really mean “saves”. In work mode it’s fine. I’m able to get everything done, but then when I go to SAVE it, it crashes....MOST of the time. Every now and then it will say or I’ll just do a screen capture as it’s trying to save. Very sad. This used to be my favorite, and now it’s the worst. Fix it and I’ll give it 5 stars, gladly. I WANT this to go back to being the great app it used to be. I don’t want it to fail, as it has done thus far. I’m not going to use it for a while until it gets fixed.

Love the new features but keeps crashing and it's sloooow. Update: Nov 28, 2017. Notoriously crashing and losing pics I’ve taken with the latest iOS... I really want to give you guys a better rating. Please please fix these issues. I hate it also how it defaults to a different lens/film combo after I reopen the app after the crashing. Wonder If anyone else is having these issues? Update: 30x was supposed to fix your crashing problems so I gave it another try. But why oh why do guys keep releasing versions that keeping crashing? This latest version crashed the app suddenly. Queued up pics to process are lost which is the most annoying thing. Memories lost. Please please figure out your QA before releasing updates. So disappointed again.. Update:I removed this 30x version and gone back to an older one. Same problems in my wife's iPhone 6+. How can you guys release something so crap when there were so many bugs to work out. I would be embarrassed. Please do yourselves a favour and fix this and win back the your loyal followers. Come on guys! Please please fix the bugs that keep my fav photo app of all time! It's so disappointing to have this app behave so slowly. My iPhone 5 would halt at times. App crashes and automatically closes... Needs to resolve these issues. I may have to remove this and go back to an earlier version now...

Bye bye Hipstamatic, you’ll be missed.... This sad day has been many years in the making, but I finally had to remove my beloved Hipstamatic from my iPhone. I have been a Hipsta devotee since day one, so much so it’s the only reason I’m still on an iPhone. It has been my singular stylized iPhone shooting and editing app since the first time I used it, and I suffered through all the issues over the years (they never really conquered iCloud syncing of edits, did they?). But since approx v3 it’s just become so unstable to a point that it was ruining shoots. The issues started about a year ago, when Hipsta started killing my battery routinely taking my phone from 30% to a hard dead in seconds. On one shoot on the Highline in NYC Hipsta killed the phone so badly I had to take into an Apple store to get it restarted. Now with the latest version it’s completely dead, crashing on every start, displaying the lens on the case off-center, quitting but still running in the background, and still with the battery issues. It’s a sad day indeed, but if you can’t rely on your photo software then it’s time for the software to go. It was a good run, old friend...😢

3 years and still no fix. I’ve been a loyal promoter of Hipstamatic and have purchased almost every single lens & film they’ve produced. It pains me to have to write this review but it seems someone’s asleep over there because it pains me even more having to run the same course of action to fix a bug I encounter ONLY when using Hipstamatic. While listening to music from your phone, and opening Hipstamatic, the volume noticeably goes down. As if that’s not irritating enough, to fix this issue, you have to not only close the app altogether but turn off your phone and turn it back on again. This is a HUGE issue for those of us who’d like to use your product that we paid for while also listening to music. I thought It would be fixed in earlier versions but nothing happened. I though it might be the phone I’m using but this problem persists across three phones and no, I don’t restore from back ups. Do I have to discontinue use of your product altogether or do you think someone will finally address this? I promote you everywhere; Facebook, Instagram and word of mouth.

Ok, a 10. But, I'm not allowed!. Hands down, the best app for your iPhone! Have been a long time user, since the iPhone 4, and it still remains my #1! The care, and tutelage the developers give this app on a CONSTANT basis is bar none. No one even comes close to the perfection of this app! Consistent updates, wonderful add on paks, and stellar customer service, will forever make this my “desert island “ app! Love it, love it, love it!

Needs an overhaul...again. This app doesn’t get the support it used to. Too much effort seems to go into new Hipstamatic apps that don’t get support either and seem to just flop. It’s really disappointing—especially with the how much money faithful users have pumped into this app over the years. Hipstamatic needs an overhaul as far as organizing favorites and cases. When you’ve spent over $100 on all of the gear, organizing it all is such a tedious task and it seems a bit buggy or glitchy when you try to do so. It has become near impossible to find the combo you want with all of the possible combinations you can create. You can’t organize the cases like you can lenses, films and flashes which has become annoying to find the case you want. It’s all just become cumbersome and clunky. Any plans to update all of the cases so they fit all phone screens? Some of them are still set for iPhone 4S screen sizes. Some new solid color cases would be cool. Navy blue perhaps? Forest green? Neon colors? Chrome?

I’ve been using this app since.... Before the Dali pak was first available and I love it. I enjoy the insane amount of options they have added. But most of all, I love their support. Allen is the best(cheers,;)). He has helped me with many any issue. I still wish they would bring back the original disposable version. That was my absolute favorite app ever. Allen helped console me through my abandonment issues. You’ll know it’s him, because of the “cheers”. For some reason that instantly “cheers” me up. He definitely keeps me here. Thank you Hipstamatic team, especially you Allen.

The OG creative photography app is still the best. Still the best and most relevant! I’ve been using Hipstamatic for seven or eight (maybe nine?) years. It’s helped me take original and amazing photos from all around the world (literally). It never gets old, you have limitless possibilities by combining film, lenses, and “flashes”. Hipstamatic constantly releases updated “hipstapaks” for just a few bucks: new film types and lenses for even more creativity. There are prints in my home people inquire about. Who was the photographer? Where did you buy that? Very often they’re inquiring about photos taken with hipstamatic. Thank you, hipstamatic, for not trying to be instagram. If you keep doing your thing, I’ll keep buying a few new film and lens types every so often.

My favorite of all apps. I’ve been using Hipstamatic for years. I also have Tintype and Hipstamatic X. But my first love is Hipstamatic. The fact that I can apply favorite lens/film/flash/etc. combinations to existing photos is fantastic, though I more often let Hipstamatic surprise me with preset combos. One of the best things about this app is their purchasing model. No subscriptions, no $50 price tag to get all the bells and whistles. You like a hipstapack, you buy it, you don’t like one, you pass on it. Wish more apps would copy this model. I and many of my friends have passed on many subscription apps because the cost just adds up too much too fast when app updates aren’t even guaranteed. Kudos to the Hipstamatic developers.

fab. fantastic

Absolutely fantastic.. I've never cared enough to write an app review before, and may not ever again, but I just had to say that this app is hands-down the best iPhone photography app I've ever used. Hipstamatic, as dramatic as it sounds, has rekindled my love for creative photography. The effects are perfect, the photos are far better than you would expect given the camera lens the iPhone gives you to work with, and the add-on packs, despite the extra cost, are worth the money and only serve to prove there are no limits to where this app could head in the future. Tellingly, like others, Hisptamatic has actually replaced the Camera app on my home screen, and I don't think I'll be moving it from there any time soon.

Get it fixed, already!.... Have given this app a favourable review in the past, demonstrating my faith in the fact that good developers fix problems ASAP. I've purchased every Hipsta pak released. In-app purchase of Bondi and SOHO paks are a waste of time and money - they simply WILL NOT download on my i4. And now, the latest release (Retropak One) costing $2.49, won't download either. So, paid for the last three in-app expansion paks without being able to download and use them. This has been an issue with Hipsta for *months* now (as a look through the reviews for it will confirm), despite software updates, which you'd think would have addressed, a now, long-standing problem! Beware!... The developers of this app CANNOT be unaware of the on-going problem. Yet they persist in releasing stuff people will pay for but not be able to use. Go figure?...

Almost awesome.. i have been using this app for a while now, and I love it. The different lens and films create wonderfully unique photos, as well as adding the charm of using a different-to-the-norm camera. The pictures taken are pretty clear, although focusing is sometimes hard. I love pretty much all aspects of this camera except for one. I wish there was the option to print photos and pay for it with iTunes credit, as some are unable to attain a credit card. This would make an already exceptional app even better.

One thing. It’s a great app. The only thing stopping me from using this as my regular camera app is that it’s not reliable. It crashes waaay too much and always has unfortunately. I have been using this app since iPhone 4 and it’s still doing it on 11 pro. It’s why I’ve stopped buying the new film and lenses for it.

Better than expected. I got this even tho I'd read some negative reviews about not having more included lenses and stuff. I can say that I'm not disappointed at all! The included stuff gives you so many different possibilities when you mix and match the three included lenses with the three included films, not mention the flashes, that there is hardly anything to complain about! I only had one crash after looking at the online comp uploads screen, when I clicked on BACK it crashed. No biggie tho. Love it- and I'm a big photography fan! iPhone 4.

How is this 5 star?. All of the reviews are 7 years old. Do not buy this app. I paid $5.99 for this app in a bundle. 6 bucks gets you pretty much nothing and most of the decent looking filters and effects need to be paid for additionally. $1.49 PER lens and film? What am I paying $5.99 for? That’s not what you expect when you pay for $5.99 for an app. Apparently REFUNDS ARE NOT ALLOWED EITHER. DO NOT BUY THIS APP.

After all the years, still great. I started using Hipstamatic when it first came out and have been dipping in and out ever since. Recently I came back to it for a project I am playing with and with all the improvements they have been rolling out (and the jump in the iPhone camera since the 4), Hipstamatic is fast becoming my go to when I am looking for something more than a quick snap; and the ability to post edit any photo you take has to be one of my favourite features. Yea, Hipstamatic is still as cool as the first time I used it! A big shout out to Allan in support for some of the best support I have seen.

My Most Favourite App Ever!!. My partner is sick of me raving on and on about how fantastic this app is, so I thought I'd tell you guys.. I have barely had my phone out of my hand since I got this app and I'm constantly shoving it in everyone's faces to get great pics of them.. The effects you can achieve with different combos of flashes, lenses and film are brilliant and a heap of fun and you're never quite sure exactly what the end result will be, even of youve used the same combo before.. I have taken some awesome photos of pretty boring things (shoes and hairclips and the like) but even they come up looking a million bucks... Don't even think twice about whether or not to get this app, just buy it and have a ton of fun!

Awesome but..... Don't get me wrong this is an awesome app, one if the best I've brought but two things have annoyed me about it lately. Firstly I had to pay $2.49 to get a pack with just one new lens in it as I had all the other stuff. I don't care too much but some other stuff woulda been nice too. Secondly whilst trying to download the nike pack I had problems. I logged outa my account which fixed it but then spent the next hour plus trying to log back in as I couldn't remember my password and kept getting errors from the reset password page. But that aside this is a one in a million app, it'll make you just take photos of things to experiment and see what lenses do what. I used nothing but this on a trip to new Zealand and some of the pictures were magnificent, way better than anything any other camera coulda done. So you still get a 5 star rating cuz these bugs aside, Hipstamatic is still incredible

Trip down memory lane. I love this app. It takes me down memory lane to the days when I was young pup and entrusted with my very first camera. I took pictures (and still have pictures) not unlike the ones this app provides. I love the choice of film and lenses as this was choice I did not have as a young enthusiast. I would like to have had the option to buy all the lenses and films as a complete package but it was no real hardship buying the individually. Thanks for this truly fun app and I recommend it to everyone!

Lots of fun to be had.... It seems ironic we Humans strive for and part with our hard earned cash for the latest wizz bang gizmos, and yet so many here (and me!) cherish these under and over exposed, saturated, faded shots of the Hipstamatic. It is simply good fun. I owned a plastic Hanimex ???matic as a kid and feeling a bit errr "old" in years when I flick through our old photo albums, only to find many shots taken by and of myself as a kid resembling what Hipstamatic reproduces today. A trip down memory lane...taken 10 seconds ago.... The combinations of film/lens/flash will have you wanting to take the same scene/subject many times over. While on lens/flash and film, buy all those add-ons... They're worth ever last cent!

Makes taking photos fun again. Being a professional photographer, I laugh at people who take photos with their phones. But after having a friend tell me how fun this program was and that the iphone can take really cool photos, I decided to proove him wrong. I installed the app, all the time sniggering arrogantly assuming how bad this app would be...... Well, it backfired. I love this app, After the first shot, I was hooked! It gives me a bit of a giggle taking fun snaps of places and locations and the mixture of lenses/films/flashes just keeps begging you to try that same shot with a different setup over and over again. For sure the camera on the iphone is rubbish, but using this app just makes them look so cool and interesting. Sure you could easily replicate this in photoshop, but having it so instant is just so much more of a blast. The only negatives I can say is the viewfinder, although authentic is a bit small, and the proecssing time for each image is a bit slow, especially on the larger size setting. But small gripes compared to such a polished product. Cheers Synthetic Corp

VERY DISAPPOINTED ~ hoping for a fix. new iPad arrived today and reuploaded this app and restored all my purchases. It’s completely unusable. It crashes as soon as I load a photo in. I’ve easily spent over $100 on this app and unless I hear back from support I’m going to have to assume I’ve wasted all that money. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Please get your act together, Hipstamatic!. Do not buy this app, it's is a total mess. It's buggy, and I mean BUGGY! Is there a new CEO appointed at this company? If so, he/she should be fired. If not, someone's head should roll. This was my go-to photo app from day 1. Now I'm going to delete it. It's just become another mediocre photo app with millions of unwanted options, including the kitchen sink - but way worse than its competitors because it's FULL of bugs! It crashes every minute, it loses past and new photos, it doesn't retain my preferred filter settings, the list goes on. Hipstamatic was a quirky, original, amazing photo app. Its beauty was its simplicity. My friends and me were huge fans of it and we were in love with it. Now it's a total disaster. Please give us back the old Hipstsamatic. This app is an April Fools joke and it's not even April.....argh!!!!

Love it!!. This is the best little app ever. It's totally changed the way i go about my day - now i look at everything wondering 'worth a photo?' The starter pack is great value and will get you on your way, but you'll want to buy the additional lenses and film packs not long after (which are super cheap $1.60 or something). Offers heaps of really interesting and retro effects which make for really magical photos. You be amazed how different you can make a moment with a photo. Great value for money and a sweet little app. So try - you won't be disapointed

Awesome. ‘Nuff said.

Annoyed. I live hipstamatic. Theres no denying it but...the new packs downloads are frustrating. It kept shutting down as I bought it the it wouldn't download and would crash. I really want the two new packs but it needs to be fixed. Please. It seems that it won't let me download the new packs and they've taken away the Levi one which i paid for. I'd like to either get the pack or get a refund for the pack. Not happy paying for it if i don't get it. edti;; I just thought i'd try it with a wireless connection and i got the dali pack...but the levi holiday one is gone and i paid of it. I think that a little curtesy saying that a wireless connection is needed to download the packs would have been nice or i wouldn't have bothered to buy the levi pack.

When it's good, it's fantastic. This app of late is like the girl, who when she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid. The app's features are fantastic, which is why I've given it a high score, but the latest version is unfortunately quite unstable in my experience. (v330, on iPhone 6, iOS 10.2 – although my phone is over 2 years old, which may be a contributing factor). It crashes quite a lot on startup, and prior to that, when I was saving edited photos. I've found I need a lot of free hard disk space (at least 15GB, preferably more), and after deleting the app, doing a hard reset, reinstalling, doing another hard reset, THEN restoring all my gear, I have finally got it working again (so far). The equipment, effects and editing capability are so much more sophisticated than most other similar apps that I have persevered with Hipstamatic in spite of the problems. Worth it – if you can get it working.

Wow! But crashing lots still... It's a whole new world- a little confusing but i only used it for 10 mins so far- nice to change the film/lens after shooting.. Not sure about everything else.. Has crashed 4 times already too :( Edit- used it on quite a few pics, no more crashing (yet).. Actually i really love it. It's gone from something i haven't used much in a while to being what looks like a very good editing suite with the hipstamatic flavour.. And you can choose to just stick with the old style hipstamatic shooter if you so desire. Edit2- just updated again and now it's crashing worse than ever :( Even had one where it froze the screen and took a while to restart. Edit 3- hoping for an update to fix this, it is often freezing when you try to save a photo

(FIXED) I'm sorry but you broke recent photos!. I've left my previous comments however it has seemed to be fixed. This is an awesome app. It does cost a pretty penny to buy all the filters, however I do like all the filters and I do feel there is value there. You can still have a nice little camera bag just off the standard gear though. I'm really proud of the photos I take and in-turn I try harder to make them better. I love photography and my app of choice to explore photography is this one. If you can remember to have something interesting at the points that horizontal 1/3 lines and vertical 1/3 lines meet hipsta will do the rest. -----------------------------—-------------- PREVIOUS COMMENT, MY ISSUES FIXED This is a great app. I've REALLY liked it for a long time. When I read the new update I got really excited about the new Facebook abilities however I have not been able to use it as the app crashes EVERY single time I try to go to recent photos. This is a huge let down all my albums are now neglected and there are many functions I use that I can't access any more. Please fix this ASAP!! I've reset my phone both ways many times. If it wasn't for this I'd rate it 5*

Hipstamatic makes everything look hip.... This app inspires me to take shots during random moments, photos that end up suiting a hip fashion magazine or an album cover for a band / solo artist. What an awesome app. And who cares about the in-app purchases, a total of AU$6.06 for the whole lot, whatever. I've spent more on a crappy kebab. This app is the gift that keeps on giving. If possible tho, an update to allow post photo selection of lense, film, flash combo's would be sweet. A huge update granted, but a wishful suggestion none the less. Congratulations guys to the best app of the year.

Good and close to being great. I like this app. It does what it says on the box, you get to take pics that have a genuine retro look and feel that is charmingly Lomo-like. Swapping film and lenses to make different kinds of images to suit your mood or situation is really fun. The downside is the apps speed on 3G iphone—like the one I have and I suspect at the time of writing is true for most iphone users—and some annoying random crashes. Also, while the Hipstamatic—and Hipstapack "upgrades" include what might be interesting flash effects for the iPhone 4, 3G users don't have a built in flash to take advantage of this feature. Be prepared to pay extra to get the full functionality of this fun photo app.

LEVI'S GOOD PAK. Anyone else having issues downloading this? My phone says "mine" and I just recieveved a receipt, which means I have been charged for it, but its not downloading to my phone! Once again just like the previous Dali Goodpack, it is a HUGE effort by the looks of things to actually get it on, and have it working. I realise this is for charity, but I think hipstamatic, is starting to take its customers for granted. It is the only app I have ever had problems trying to download. Get it together hipstamatic. Don't just charge people without your app extras being easily available! Just dropped another star in my rating of this app! Hope you sort it out soon, because having issues once with your downloads is not cool, twice is pretty annoying, three times might have to just be delete. Also is anyone else still having issues with hipstamatic asking for itunes password contsantly? They said this bug was fixed with the new update, but still the same for me! Great app, when it works properly. Don't dissapoint us hipstamatic. We like you, but you are making it a little difficult!

Fantastic update brings Hipstamatic back up to "must have" status.. I deleted Hipstamatic a year or so ago - couldn’t get comfortable having to decide on filter settings BEFORE taking the shot. I re-installed after seeing that the app had received a major overhaul, and I am totally blown away by the new design. Not only can you apply lens/film/flash effects later, but the editing options are fantastic too. Integration with Apple Photos/iCloud is seamless, with the ability to have all edits be non-destructive. Sure it has a few bugs, but I can see what they’re trying to achieve and I love all the changes. Excellent work!

Best app ever. What a addictive app I use it for 100% of my iPhone shots I’ve got so many combos A must have app

Phoenix. This has got to be the best rewrite of any photographic app to date. Hipstamatic have clearly looked down the road and seen where this can go to make it the best of both worlds. I see a lot of people struggling to adapt to such a monumental shift in design of the app. This will in time become the best app on the market without a doubt. The possibilities for a more professional and creative approach to taking images has just hit a new level. All the frustrations expressed in some of these reviews I myself experienced. But patience and perseverance rewarded me handsomely. The Pro UI layout is easy to master and well thought out, everything works and works well. Hats off to you guys.

Fantastic!!. Great and fun app. It does take time to develop when in high quality mode, but that just enhances the whole experiane IMO. Obviously its not going to be your camera for taking those all important graduation shots, it is afterall still an iphone camera. But if you want something thats fun and a little quirky and will give you shots you would frame, than this is the app. I love using this as everyshot comes alive. View finder could be larger, but I suppose that also makes you more aware of what you photographing. The extra lenses and film also add to the greatness of this app. Im using it on iphone 4 and pics come out great!

Love Hipstamatic. This app' has given me hours and hours of fun, I adore it. The text, naming the film/flash etc is far too small for old eyes, however, that said - it's the best toy I have ever had. I wish I had a proper camera with this app attached - a deadly camera plus this - HEAVEN!! I am having issues with downloading the new Dali addition, however, I will get there - I'm sure. Wish there was a menu where I could just select my film etc, at the side of the film name there would be a picture of the 'theme' using one of my pics or, if I had not used that 'combination' yet - a Hipsta pic. I'd like that instead of having to flick through the films, as stated, the text is far too small to read and I need a simpler way of selecting. HIPSTAMATIC - BRILLIANT!!

Crashes After Shooting. This has always been a good app and I’ve hardly ever had any problems with it. But today, the app not only crashed (took an image and it crashed immediately, which happened each time), it removed some of the settings I had created (removing what I didn’t want and adding what I wanted) and the new favourites (that I had made prior to taking the snap) didn’t save. It probably wouldn’t be so bad if this didn’t happen, then it’d be worth the constant money raking.

Still keeps crashing after all these years.... Adding packs, changing film, restoring purchase, you name it.... Random. But constant.

Great Photography App for those who want stylized photos but don't have photoshop or aperture. Read some of the other reviewers harsh comments about the app. Thought I would add balance and I don't know anyone at Synthetic Corp. This is a great app for those looking to add 'old school' style to their pictures with minimal effort. Great range of effects without having to spend time on post production with photoshop etc. Considering the image processing that takes place in the phone - I think it is pretty quick but can understand the frustration if you miss that key moment while the camera is still working on the last image. I'm having great fun turning ordinary pictures and situations into magazine looking images. Be creative and enjoy!!

Wow!! Just Brilliant!. This is the best & biggest update to an app I've ever seen. It's just brilliant! It has all you love about the old hipstamatic & much much much much more. You can be as tricky or as simple as you like depending on how much time you want to spend. And the filters (films, flash and lens combinations) are still the best on the App Store. They are all different enough to justify spending money on them. As other apps you can barely tell the difference between 2 filters. I love love love that o can know edit existing photos in my library & choose the crop format It will take a little while for me to dig in & get reacquainted with this app but I think that I'm going to be spending a lot of time with it. Don't be scared of change. Some apps change for the sake of change, but hipstamatic waited until the time was right. Just a suggestion (so far) I have most of the films and lenses etc, but I'd like a buy remaining button that had a cost for everything else

Awesome app. Love this app, it’s my fave! A fun way to experiment with photos and tap into your creative side. Any issues are quickly resolved with a simple email. Highly recommend

Love it....but.. I love the photos this app produces and I'm happy that I bought it. Although since the last update it has been having a few issues. The app often freezes on startup leaving me unable to take a photo, or it will shut down after taking a photo leaving me with no photo at all. It will also sometimes freeze when I am viewing the photos I have taken. Sometimes redrafting the app solves the problem, but mostly I have to reboot the phone. This app truly Is awesome and worth the money, it just needs a few bug fixes. ETA: I still love this application. I use it every day and I love the various effects. I do have a couple of issues with it though. I would love the ability to exclude certain lenses or films from the 'randomise' feature. I don't much like using the Dali lens and wondering if it is going to show up in my random choices is annoying. The film that came in that update is fantastic though. Also. For limited edition packs it would be nice if there was some sort of notification other than on Facebook. I hadn't 'liked' Hipsta on FB until just a few days ago so I missed any mention of the LEVI pack. There was no app store update reminder to let me know it even existed, and I only go to the in app purchases section when I know that there is something to buy. So for almost a month this pack was available and there was no notification for it. I'm disappointed that I missed the chance to buy it.

Excellent App. Everyone has a smartphone with almost all the time. With Hipstamatic you now have a cool and fun way to capture pictures. The whole App costs the same as a big coffee as do the bundles. Very affordable for a lot of photo fun.

Best app, great help. This is the best photography app out there. I use it everyday for work and I'm always complimented on the quality of the pics. Beats lugging my big SLR around everyday. I've printed off and enlarged images and the quality remains. I love this app! Recently had an issue when I purchased a new phone and tried to instal the upgrade for the app. Like a lot of people who have commented below, all I could see was black through the view finder. I contacted the app support team via email and within 24 hrs they had emailed me a personalised response and the problem was fixed easily. Can't recommend this app and the support team highly enough.

best photo app!!. Hipstamatic is the best iphone photo app out there! u get a cool camera that makes up the screem. also the ability to change the lenses and get different effects is great! onl problem is that u dont get a very big preview of what u are about to photograph. this could be made bigger. also the preview of the images that is built in to the app is not very big so u cant see the images full size in the app only in the iphone photo preview. makes for great fun and really feels like u are taking photos from a real camera. the shutter buttom could also be made a bit bigger but other than that it is my favourite camera app! well done. also the ability to have a few new lenses every now and then would be great!

My FAVE App. I can’t emphasise enough how awesome is the support for this App - big thanks to Allan for his help when I changed Apple ID upon getting the latest iPhone and lost all my prev purchases. Got them all back and can now go out and take pics to my hearts content ! Grateful and relieved

Love this app!. I really love using this app, it makes any photo look amazing and nostalgic. Its pretty clear in the description that you are only purchasing the base model, and can buy extra "hipstapacks" so no need to reduce the rating for that fact like others have. Anyway, the base options alone take amazing photos, and rather than paying all at the one time it allows you to upgrade slowly. It does freeze occasionally on my iPhone 4, doesn't seem to like multitasking, but I just shut it down and restart and its fine. I love it, really! Best app purchase I have made since getting my iPhone, and love it even more after reading its history.

Such a creative tool. I’ve been using Hipstamatic for over a decade and it still brings me a lot of joy. If you like serendipity, creativity and the ability to create a unique look to your imagery, this is the app for you. Hipstamatic team, thanks for creating a reliable, regularly updated app that stays true to its principles. Long live Hipstamatic!

Still in love. I was a big user in the early days but not in the past few years. I have recently started using again and have rediscovered how much I enjoy it. Sometimes it crashes but no big deal - I just close the app, and occasionally I have to restart my iPhone. And a shout out to Allan at Hipstamatic support for all the help he gave me to reset my account. Very quick and clear. Yep, still very much in love.

Wonderful. Congratulations on a wonderful application, the photos it takes can be quite amazing at times. There's a real feel of looking at old, washed out photos. People may argue, and I would have too, that it might be better to use a "real" camera and photoshop... well sure... except the Pentax DSLR I own is often left at home because it weighs almost about as much as half a house brick. and the best camera you have is the one that's with you. I agree with another commenter that the resolution could be upped. and I think the option of saving two files might be nice... a straight photo, for us purists... and the touched up photo, for the fun :). I will be buying the plugins. Seriously, if you have an iphone and you're a mad keen photo buff who wants to experience photography from another time, get this, it's a bit weird at first but the bug will bite and you'll love using it.

Pretty please...... Crash crash crash crash....... cannot get a photo to process... have tried all the suggested fixes, nothing happening. if i actually manage to snap a pic before it crashes, it just crashes as soon ad i go to view it..... please fix this hipsta crash crash crash crash........ Still loving this app, even after the latest update. The only problem I am having is that the app crashes if I delete an image. The image will still delete, but I have to start the app again to resume taking pics. Just a heads up for you Hipsta-crew :)

Crashes. I’m trying to turn on flashes/film that have been turned off somehow (I have a new phone) and it crashes every single time. It’s irritating.

New version has lost its way.. I've spent loads of money in this app buying new films and lenses. New version is massively disappointing. Post editing shots - who cares. I've got Instagram for that. You're kidding yourself if you think you can compete there. You should have stuck to your point of difference. It was about coming up with the right combos of lens and film in the moment. It had a cool retro feel, now it's bland and generic. The new icon is so ugly - it had a cool, old school camera icon, now it looks like any other generic camera app with a horrid colour combo. Too ugly have this on my home screen. Ugly has replaced cool - what were you thinking! All it needed was a way to manually organise my films and lenses (because I've bought so many). Sadly, I won't be spending any more money on this now daggy app. Bring cool back. This app has totally lost its way.

Bad. Not happy with this app as i can’t even access it it keeps glitching out of the app I want a full refund

😓 APP NOT WORKING. Hello Hipstamatic people. I left a review recently stating I was experiencing a problem. The problem being, when trying to load an "already taken" photo on let's say the IPad camera, photo is on device - when trying to open the already taken photo in Hipstamatic - the app, simply crashes. Ie. stops working and closes. I saw an update was available - so I've updated the app on both my iPhone and iPad - and it remains the same problem. I'm inky raising this, as I have spent money on this app. for in app things Like flash, camera lense - camera packs etc. the photos I really want to play with, I can not. Can someone who works on this app make contact with me? If this isn't a problem likely to be resolved, I'd kindly ask for the money I have spent, returned. Thanks

Fun, easy to use app. Have been using the Hipstamatic app for a while now, and am liking it more all the time. It has lots of cool options to get different photo effects, and is pretty easy to use. It also has in app purchases to expand your suite of lenses, flashes and films to make a huge number of combinations and effects. Bonus freebies come up fairly regularly too, which is nice. If you're having problems, tech support is friendly and helpful and prompt with their responses - a big winning point from my perspective! All in all, highly recommend this for people looking to have some fun and create cool and different looks for everyday photos.

Very unhappy with new update!. I've had this app for several years, I've even bought many of the in-app purchases. But when Instagram came about, I admit I used Hipstamatic less and less because nearly every time new content was released for it, it came with a price whereas Instagram was free! Now this new update has come in and EVERYTHING has changed. Where Hipstamatic used to be different, it now looks like any other photo studio app, but the one thing that hadn't changed? Almost every item (or filter, who are we kidding?) costs more money! Why bother?! There's far better photo studio apps and most are free or at the very least you pay 99 cents for several new filters instead of 99 cents per filter each time. Save your money, this app just isn't worth it any more.

What Gives?. I purchased the Levi pack and Portland pack and I am not able to access them. I would like my $2 back please! The rest of the app is great and I love messing around with the different lenses and films but the fact I gave $2 away for nothing in return is enough reason for me to give a one star rating. Fix this problem and I may consider changing my rating.

Problem downloading "Dali GoodPak". I love Hipstamatic, and was really excited to see the new "Dali GoodPak" in-app purchase. But I have purchased it and it will not download. I've tried "restore" many times, and tried buying it again and again, and it will not download. There doesn't seem to be a very good way to contact the developer about this issue, and I'm quite annoyed at this point.

Great Effects. This app is awesome. I love the effects you can get out of it. It would have got a full 5 stars if it had a few extra features: 1. Load photos from library and process them. I know this is supposed to be a camera app, but it really is the effects I'm after. I like to play around with my photos and try different things. I don't have time to stand there and take 10 shots with different settings. 2. Save the original, and allow reprocessing. This is kinda the same as number 1. But if I take a shot, let me save the original in my library too so that I can play with it later. Or reprocess it with the different effects. 3. Full screen viewfinder. I kinda like the square viewfinder tho. At least make it bigger. I could make more suggestions. But I'd be very pleased if these make it into a future update.

Terrible Interface. Not intuitive interface, so far unable to use it, waste of money

Beware. Buying this app means that all the photos you take can be used by the hipstamatic team with impunity. Buying this app also means that you will have to agree to a lengthy terms of agreement contract and set up an account. DO NOT BUY THIS APP IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PHOTOS TO BE SHARED BY OTHERS AND KEPT PRIVATE.

My Favorite. Couldn't ask for a better app! This is the best way to capture beautiful memories quickly.

Doesn’t work anymore. This app doesn’t save the pictures you edit anymore. It only saves pictures you take with the app. It’s been like this for a few weeks. If you need to edit pictures you take with the native camera or other apps, look for something else.

so slow. I understand the whole authentic/retro feel it is going for, but 20 seconds to wait for a high quality picture to "develop" is stopping this from being my go to camera for quick snaps. The iPhone is not a retro device. "Developing"was good for a chuckle the first time around, but after two pics it gets tedious. PLEASE FIX. It does take nice pictures, but it needs to be faster or at least render in the background so you can take another picture right away.

One of my top five favorite apos. I've been using Hipstsmatic for years, and it never disappoints. So much variety in the lens and film options, infinite possibilities in the combinations. I love the analogue feel of Hipstamatic images, and their customer service is stellar. I'm a fan for life.

Crashing. ... like a rear-ended Pinto now when I try to create a new camera (lens/film combinations) since last update - thus of severely limited usefulness given what the app is supposed to do. In addition the interface for camera creation leaves much to be desired - attempting to find anything is like asking a politician for a straight answer - not happening.

Want a crappier camera? Buy this App!. DO NOT BUY THIS AWFUL APP! Before I get started I'm using the iPhone 3G[s], why charge for this crap only to get into it, and see you need to buy "HIPSTAPAK" to get the themes and cool stuff you see in the demo here. Also, it's not fun, the camera shutter is slow, and it's really disappointing. You'll get the feeling you were ripped off with in the first 2 minutes of playing with it. Horrible program, horrible price, horrible over all expectations were set from the preview to actual usage. If I could get my money back, I would.

Best App Ever for photo freaks. Simply put … I stay with apple for the use of Hipstamatic!!! Fell in love with it using my first iPhone4 and still true to using 111% 24/7! This Photo Junkies FAV❤

Only Hipstamatic would find a way.... ...to continually crash itself when I try to save something on my brand new iPad. Biting off more than they can chew? Straight-up arrogance to their users? Who can tell?

Poor photo editing effects. I bought this app to use the Potrait editing features.There are not available anymore.They have disappeared and when I wrote to the company there was no reply.a scam

Stayed Loyal to Hipstamatic. I’ve had Hipstamatic since I had an iPhone 3GS I think! But I’ve stayed loyal and have probably purchased every Snap Pak they’ve released because they provide new ones from time to time to keep it fresh, but also, they haven’t sold out to the subscription model, which is a big thing for me. SO MANY apps have lost my loyalty, especially in the photography/content creation space because they’ve gone to subscription that takes away firstly from my original purchases of upgrades in-app, but also my desire to continue to use their app. Plus, Hipstamatic has the most accurate/fun paks (lenses, films, camera cases) over all the other Lomo-photography apps. Nice work guys!

Not impressed with last update. One of my favorite camera apps since months, I use it on a daily basis on my iPhone 4S and many times during the day. I also use it for some of my portraits. I love this app so much that I bought ALL the packs available, accounting for quite the bucks. Your last update was and is a DISASTER. 1) Canʻt develop the picture that, smack in the middle, crashes. 2) Open the app, leave it running (without using it) and it crashes within 5/8 seconds. You broke something and you need to fix it, asap!!! Wonʻt be buying new packs until this crashing issue is fixed for good as I donʻt like wasting my money on something that doesnʻt work period. When you do, Iʻll give you 5 stars. Not NOW !!!

Great app!. Great app and great customer service. The best camera app out there.

Fix Soho and Bondi packs.. Loved the app until I purchased both the Soho and Bondi packs... I can't download them even if I try to restore my purchases.

No info, No support!!. Tried asking a question on their site but would not let me log in or sign up. Hope developer reads these reviews. This app needs a manual with better descriptions of lenses and films and what they do and less cute and supposedly funny but unhelpful ones. The app is great but tell me what each pack does with clear language not geared to a 15 year old. Minus one star for not being funny but trying too hard to be. If you want support, Good Luck.

Best analog like camera. My everyday camera powerful and enjoy using it👍

Love the app, falls short on family sharing. I love this app. I’ve had it for several years and probably have purchased closed to all of its films, lenses or kits. The only thing I’m disappointed with (and reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that with family sharing, it’s doesn’t share all of the film filters. Disappointing. Still love the app but that’s the one change I’d love to see.

Enormously Unduly Overrated. If I could give this app less than zero rating star, I would've done so. I have tried dozens and dozens of apps, many of them from the photo/video category, and I remain unable to understand what makes this app attractive to some people: It has many flaws, many awkward downsides. I hate the interface, the emplacement of the shutter button, the unavailability of time-face, the repeated crashes, and first and foremost I hate that the people behind this app have made it impossible to enjoy anything unless you pay for lens, flashes, and films, since the ones provided initially are just crap, nothing more. If you want to have a useless piece of junk in your iPhone, try this Hipstamatic.

NO FACEBOOK SUPPORT!. Scammed into updating this app after not using it for at least 5 years because the update promised a "new red Laos filter!" Yeah, TO PURCHASE! I want my memory back.

I have loved this app which is why I’ve spent so much money on it. But it keeps on crashing upon trying to save my photos. Please Update!

Very disappointed!. Like others have expressed, the camera keeps freezing!!! This in not fun....

Updates needed. It has been a while since last update. Now this app is basically unusable. Picking a photo to edit, it crashes, trying to shop for new gears, it crashes, trying to save to photo library and it CRASHES. OMG. I cannot believe this is the app that I have been using and loving.

Best vintage photo app. I went back to using an iPhone because of this app.

Garbage!!!. AWEFuL GARBAGE!! Photos take mins instead of secs to develop! the app then crashes during "roll winding" making u lose pics! Devs dont care... Every update has made it worse! even after milking us with inapp purchases!!! Downgrade to a time when Hipstamatic was king...

It's good but.... ...Every update seems to make it slower and slower and it's been crashing a lot as of late. I'd try removing and reinstalling the app if it wasn't for the horror stories I've read about getting your in app purchases back, seeing as I have almost every pak a little afraid of losing it. Oh and the 230 update "faster processing of photos"? Who cares?! You took away background processing so it's back to take a shot, wait, hope it turns out. I really want to rate this app five stars but it's really become frustrating to use compared to when I first bought it close to a year ago. I've also sunk a bunch of cash into in app paks and find myself sticking with a couple of lenses and a few films as the rest give pretty mediocre results. Another suggestion, I want to see a sample of what I'm going to get before purchasing a pak, this no sample business is ridiculous, take a few shots and upload them when you put the pak up for sale!

I love Hipstamatic. Best photo altering app ever!!

Very very good app. I have used for many years. Very good app. It totally worth to pay

Latest update. Terrible. Now I can't even use it. Crashes every time. Update: I shut down my phone and rebooted. Now the app works.

Save your money.. I do like the effects available from this app but there are some major short comings. For one since the last update it doesn't open for me, it just crashes repeatedly. You would think that would be enough but no there's more. To get the true meat of this app you have to spend more money because the app comes so bare bones it's ridiculous! And the final kicker is the horrible interface, no previews for different films or lens and a pain to switch between them.

Need to hire a new dev team. The current app is buggy and unstable. The dev team is incapable of developing an app without bugs and stability issues. Every new iOS update makes hipstamatic less stable, as well as the newer phones.

No more selfie cam on iPad Pro. I can’t seem to figure out how to use the front cam with Hipstamatic on a new iPad Pro. Also the camera shape is off cantered... why?

Disappointed. STILL cannot download the Dali pack. VERY disappointed. I want my money back!

Fin. I love this app. Hours of endless fun. So many options and combinations to play with. Did I mention I love this app.

zoom values per lens on a triple lens. which are the nodal points or knees on a triple, vs a dual lens iPhone ?! this is not clear to me .. using it still 68 days into it, and the bug that has always been there is even worse on a triple lens system. moving the value analog shows the value, but when you let go it wants to jump to 2.0 all the time. 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 .. is so hard for me to get it to stay there to use. I give up after so many failed attempts and use another setting. 1.0 was one lens. and 2.0 was the other. but on a triple .. what is what ?! that numbering now is .. what? 1.4 is not 1.4 anymore. 1.6 is not 1.6. what values are interpolation and what are each unique lens values. to chose. I still don’t know. I am so frustrated. but somehow that is a compliment. at how good it is. and I cannot tell. [yet]. but .. what am I doing wrong .. or why is this just broken. forever. it shouldn’t be hard to set this at all. it should just work brilliantly. but no. it is always busted. just hope I can leave it in the setting I want .. and it keeps that. until it crashes or resets itself to defaults. for .. why ?! but .. besides that. love love love this app. thx for making photography fun still .. every day. k.

Puts an analog camera in your pocket. I am having troubles using the flash on my iPhone 8 plus. When turned on, app fails to save any image shot.

Great photo app.. Have been using the is app for many years now , and love it.

Bugs. So I downloaded 185, it froze, I deleted the app...re-installed, now it won't restore the Dali pack...which I really enjoy...it says an error msg everytime...please fix this :(

My favourite app. Nothing but good things to say, from the price, to the service (which has been prompt and dedicated when I've needed it - through problems entirely of my own making). The updates really take it to the next level and I was already a big fan. We've got a number of Hipstamatic pics blown up and up on our wall - it really elevates a nice shot. Hipstamatic > Instagram etc. filters any and everyday.

Un monde à découvrir. Au fil des années j’ai essayé des centaines d’apps pour la photographie. Celle ci est de loins ma préférée. La communauté Hipstamatic sur Instagram est très créative. Hipstamatic c’est un monde à découvrir.

iOS 6 + Hipstamatic = Disappointing. This used to be an awesome app. I have all the plugins but since the iOS 6 update the app has totally sht the bed :( It has actually crashed (rebooted) my phone. Please fixs the app and ill change my rating

Good app. Best phone app ever. Been using it for 6 years now. Super impressed with it.

Constant crashes. Hipstamatic recently fired most of their engineers, and their latest update crashes all the time. What a surprise? When it works it's a great app, but unstable releases are increasingly common. I think the founders are buying their own hype. Please focus more on quality code and less on cheesy self promotion. :(

Enough fun for five stars. A magnifying glass or the ability to zoom in while editing is necessary. This’ll avoid unpleasant surprises when showing on a larger screen.

Love this app so much. I just love this app so much. I play with the different lenses and films all the time, but have to say that "big up" is one of my favourite films. I take far more pictures with my phone how that I would have without this, and I have purchased many camera apps. This is the one to get, for sure.

Beautiful to look at...but many flaws.. I have every photography app you can think of...and I rarely right reviews, but this app drove me say something. Let's start with the positive. Aesthetically this app is gorgeous, far superior to most photography apps. However, it is very difficult to use, switching the lenses and the flashes can get confusing. But what makes me SOOOOOO frustrated is that for $1.99 you get only a limited app. You get two lenses and a couple of flashes, and if you want any more lenses or flashes you have to pay for them. The app should really be advertised for $10.99 and then give the customer all the lenses and flashes. I guess I just feel really duped. There are apps out there that don't look as cool, but do much, much more for a lot less money, and don't sucker you in to buy more.

Updates?. Hey Hipstamatic, I’m enjoying your app but it needs an update to fix the visual scaling for iOS 14.2 and your link to ‘support’ appears compromised. Thnx

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Great Customer Support. I recently had an issue, after the iOS 13 update, with downloading pics to edit. I contacted customer support, got a reply, and a fix to the problem in a reasonable amount of time. This is my favorite app and I want to thank customer support for addressing my problem in a timely manner.

What happened to randomize feature?. I love this app and recently started using it again. One of my favorite features was shaking to randomize film, lens and flash. Can I still do that and I’m just not seeing how since upgrading, or has that feature gone away?

Huge bug app locks iPhone onto camera. Still use app and signed up for Hipstamatic x not sure what the benefit of that is though. updates. There is a huge bug now when you launch app it locks your iPhone to the camera & renders your phone unusable you cannot even restart of close app. I finally was able to flip the camera around to the shopping cart &finally could swipe up. Also support link doesn’t work takes you to a suspicious site.

No longer works. Apparently Hipstamatic classic will not work with a 12 pro max or pro raw. It’s a shame I have every pal, lens , film and case since I started in 2010. I’ll miss it. I did a lot of nice photos with this app before the hardware was even any good.

Fun and creative app!. Been a fan since day one! Turns picture taking into an artistic endeavor. You’ll find yourself enjoying all the filters and lens, experimenting and creating true works of art! It’s not just click and go, you can turn a simple photo into a pic you’ll want to frame and hang in your living room. It’s great!

Impressed. I first got this app back in 2011. I love it but didn’t like that I couldn’t tweak photos I took without the app. I took it out and recently got it back. I absolutely love that I can now edit pics without having to take pics through the app!!! Keep it up!!!

What happened?. The app worked when I originally purchased it. I picked it up again and I can’t seem to access my image library. I click the icon (bottom right) and I’m taken to ads for in-app purchases, then my screen freezes and I have to start over.

A lot of fun. Update 2019: I like this app a lot. It takes some experimentation to find what I like as far as lenses and films but I guess that’s the whole point. I have found some looks for my images that I enjoy and there has obviously been a lot of work put into the app. It really is a fun way to approach photography.

Random Crashes. Bought this app the other day for $2.99 cause it looked like it’d be a nice photo app. The few pictures I’ve taken randomly have come out nice. I finally had some time at a local bar to mess around with it throughly and unfortunately the frequent crashes have not made it a pleasant experience. I’ll take a photo and the app with crash and the photo was lost. Repeated this three times until it finally saved. Too much work for a photo app especially then the market is saturated with photo filter apps.

Keeps crashing when I change the film speed. Love this app but can’t change the film speed with out it crashing. Needing a solution.

Was one of my favorites...until you changed, no broke, it.. It was one of my favorite go-to apps since day one. Updates are great if they make improvements and don’t break what actually works. Now I open it and crashes. I installed and reinstalled. Didn’t help much. It crashes - a lot. So please go and fix and test and test again before releasing. Fix. Read these reviews, please. Test before you release an update. Then test again.

Frustrating!!. I have used this app for a few years and loved it. Since the new IOS 14.1 i have had nothing but problems! It will not stay on the editing choices for flashes. It is not saving my work. I sent an e-mail for help through the website but have not received a reply. I’ve turn off my iPad- deleted the app and reinstalled and yet it continues to have these glitches! Over the years I have paid for hundreds of lenses, films and flashes. I cannot use this app now!! Unless the developer does something to correct these problems and posts the revisions, DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!!

PLEASE BRING BACK SWANKO LAB!!!! 💥🎞🧪📸 ♥️. I love the Hipstamatic app and have used it since like 2011. I have loved all the apps you guys have created but I miss the Swanko Lab! It was so fun to create photos in the “lab” and be surprised what the photo would turn into! I miss that app so much! PLEASE BRING BACK SWANKO LAB!!!! I would be sooooo happy and so many people who never got to use the app would love it!

Great again. So glad they gave the option to display the original icon! Also glad to see this is still being supported. So many apps have come and gone, but Hipstamatic is still actively developed. Would still like for the viewfinder not to be artificially hazy.

a little bit confusing. Overall the filters are pretty nice but the app is slightly confusing I wish it was much more simple and clear, I also purchased one more film back but it doesn’t show in the app I’m not sure where it went.

Good, but .... The controls are whacky. The swiping back and forth is dysfunctional, and will skip several steps at a time, kinda counter intuitive. Also wish the edits started off raw, without automatically applied filters. The results are great, just not easy to navigate.

Still great.. After all these years this app still makes taking photos on iPhone fun and exciting. I've used it since 2010 and have brought a ton of kits. I hope they keep this app going for another 10 years, love it!

Hands down, my favorite. Hipstamatic is easily my favorite photo app. I’m a huge fan of retro looking photos, and this app is the only one that ‘felt’ authentic. Not a ton of effort to get a mediocre photo looking amazing. Many apps try to trap you with a subscription or some BS....I appreciate that Hipsamatic doesn’t do that.

Posting problem. I’m disappointed because although I’m a lifetime Hipstamatic X member for some inexplicable reason I’m not able to post any pictures to public postings. I even emailed and reported about that situation last week. Unfortunately, I haven’t got any responses at all. I would be greatly appreciated it if you step in and help me solve this problem.

Favorite to Failure. I have used this app religiously for 4 years while working on a daily photo project. Over the past 2 months it has begun to crash frequently, while shooting. Just quit and land me in phone settings or safari or goodness knows where- everywhere but Hipstamatic! But I’m a die hard and keep coming back. I’m running an iPhone 8, I capture RAW and I update within a few days of release. With the iOS update and the fisheye update, the app continually crashes. I deleted Hipstamatic and reinstalled hoping that would help, but Nooooooooo! C’Mon, you can do better than this. Please.

Great app, great customer service. I’ve been using the app for since 2010, it’s my favorite photography app, and the customer service is fantastic. I had an issue that ended up being on my end, but I had reached out to support and immediately received a personal response from an actual human with solutions and follow-up. 👍

Post-impressionists Unite!. Fan of the Post-Impressionists? Then you’ll really dig this app. The results of the combinations of lenses and films are almost always a surprise (a good surprise). The only downside is that you can’t always select a particular point to be in focus when you change the depth of field. Some combos you can; most you can’t.l

Dec 2017 Update is great!. I have been a fan of this app and used it a lot since it’s initial release. There have been some missteps along the way, but the latest update has made things much more stable and user-friendly. I’m finding it faster to use and a lot less buggy so far!

Love this app, but…. It works great on my iPhone 8, but the shake to randomize no longer works on my iPad Pro. So frustrating! Also on my iPad, if I go into precision mode I can’t go back to regular mode unless I completely close the app and go back to it! Please fix these issues, I use this app nearly everyday for my blog! Five stars for it on iPhone, but only two on iPad!

Laggy on IOS 16!!. Ever since the update to ios 16 this app has gotten laggy when trying to shoot in regular mode. I have to go to fullscreen mode so it wont lag, will we see an update that fixes this ? Love the app and its a 5 star app but with that lag i had to drop it to 3. Ive spent money on this app so i dont want to give it up but plz fix it soon!

Clunky and frozen. Unusable. Used thus app for years to play and experiment with photos, especially on hikes. They keep sending notifications for new packs but the app hasn't worked in maybe 4 or 5 years. Freezes within a pic or two and none of the lenses or films are accessible. Error messages can't even be fully seen cuz they pop up half hidden behind the virtual back of the camera. Seriously? Yes, I've tried reloading the app. Finally gave up hope they'd ever repair the bugs and deleted off phone.

Amazing!. I’ve been a photographer for many years and have faithfully stuck by my Nikon the whole time. This app has changed all of that for me! So many possibilities! I’ve bought so many paks that I think it’s become an obsession! All of them are high quality. To top everything off, their customer service is amazing! Thanks!

App does not support new Apple Raw format. I am so disappointed with this app, after so many years loving it now it looks like developers do not care about this app anymore, it lacks support for the new Apple raw format, something snapseed was able to process since day one. I have purchased every single filter there is, this is not fair Hipstamatic, do not do this to your loyal customers that have supported you throughout the years.

Great app for old school pics. I love this app. It makes taking pictures fun again. With the option of switching lenses and films the options are endless. I’ve ended up with some gorgeous pictures. My only complaint is that I can’t get out of the app without shutting down my phone. Would love to see that glitch fixed.

New update. Meh. The last version was great. When you edited a photo and selected a new setting, you had a slide scale to adjust everything at once. That’s gone. Now you have to open all adjustments at once and select one at a time. The nice scrolling through adjustments options at bottom is gone too. Seems like more work more back and forth just for some flashy new icons. Double meh.

Constantly crashes. I upgraded to 11.3 and iPhone 8 Plus. Hipstamatic crashes either on launch or immediately after taking pic. I have tried reinstalling app and clearing print query. Update: went back to old iPhone and Hipstamatic works fine on iOS 11.3 . Back on 8 plus got Hipstamatic to work, but it does crash when trying to save raw master file. It will save a jpeg master file just fine. April 20, 2018: thanks to response from developer, I upgraded to new version and now saves raw files. Thanks, I can now give Hipstamatic 4 stars. Update on June 9, 2019: In classic mode, the app will not focus when using telephoto. Today the app also failed to focus in wide angle mode while in classic mode. Any way to fix?

Wild Versitility. Hipstamatic has depths that one should explore. One can download combos (lens, film, flash, & adjustments) and then apply them to your photos, plus one can call up the editing tools to put a spin on an image. While Hipstamatic excels at being simple and fun, one can also explore its hidden complexity.

Want to recognize great customer service!!. I got a new iPhone and had a problem with uploading the app and all my gear to the new phone. I contacted customer service via email. Allen assisted me with the problem. We had several email exchanges to get it corrected. He was prompt, professional, polite, and everything worked out great. Thanks. Mike

Love the app - but. Please do an update where there is a camera button to return back to shooting. That little annoying little yellow line at the top of the phone is infuriating to tap and more often than not brings down my notification center on ios instead of going back to camera. Other than that I absolutely love this app.

Updated 10/1: Buy this app, not the newest. I‘be been a "Hipsta" user from the beginning. One of the best things was the multi-shot feature. It’s taken a while backup the app is just right. And now the developers want us to move to a new revamped version of the Hipstamatic experience without the multiple exposure feature? And give up all the organization we had with the old but good app? No thanks. Sure it’s free. But no thanks. Any long time user will not appreciate the changes, and any new user will get lost in the sea of lenses and film options organized like an Apple Watch home screen. This (older) app is just right. Please keep it updated and allow us to continue using something we already paid into over the years. - Peace

Must-have App for Me. I Recently wrote Hipstamatic Tech Support, as I am pondering getting a newer phone. My ONLY concern? Would Hipstamatic work on the newest iPhone which I was told it will. (Thanks, tech support!) I’ve used Hipstamatic for 10 years and recommend it highly. It’s the most-used app on my phone.

CRASHES ALL THE TIME!!!. I used to LOVE this app. Now it only works sometimes. When I says “works” I really mean “saves”. In work mode it’s fine. I’m able to get everything done, but then when I go to SAVE it, it crashes....MOST of the time. Every now and then it will say or I’ll just do a screen capture as it’s trying to save. Very sad. This used to be my favorite, and now it’s the worst. Fix it and I’ll give it 5 stars, gladly. I WANT this to go back to being the great app it used to be. I don’t want it to fail, as it has done thus far. I’m not going to use it for a while until it gets fixed.

Fantastic Camera. I've been using this app for a number of years now, and this is the best iteration thus far. Totally dig taking pictures with it and the non-destructive option allows one to us the photos, modified or not in other photo manipulation apps.

Nothing else like it. I’m impressed with the evolution of this app. Over the years other photo apps began to surpass it in usability & results so for me, it eventually became irrelevant. Until recently. The changes I found are, in my opinion, revolutionary. The engaging unpredictability of the original Hipstamatic remains but added control leads to endless possibilities for experimentation & discovery. Love it. Kudos to the developers.

Can’t Print from Favorites Album. I love this app and the prints from the Hipstamatic Print Lab are the best. BUT: Not being able to choose photos out of your Favorites album in iOS photos while in the PrintLab is torturous and makes me not use this app. I use my Favorites album to highlight and color correct all the good photos amongst the thousands I take, ie those are the only ones I want to print but I can’t see which ones they are from the PrintLab! Can you please fix??

I’ve loved this app for years!. I used to use this app all of the time and then I had to change all of my iCloud stuff and lost track of my apps. Recently, I had a special project to do and I was desperate to remember that photo app I loved. And here it is! So excited to have this back in my life!

Can’t edit pictures anymore. Update: it got better… for a little bit. Now you can maybe squeeze in two edits before it crashes. That’s on the iPhone. On the iPad it will crash when trying to save. I’ve spent a lot of money on this app. Anybody have any recommendations for one that’s similar? Ever since I updated to 13, I am unable to edit pictures taken which my phone. It says downloading from cloud and then does nothing. On both my phone and two iPads. Deleted and reinstalled, still can’t.

Ok, a 10. But, I'm not allowed!. Hands down, the best app for your iPhone! Have been a long time user, since the iPhone 4, and it still remains my #1! The care, and tutelage the developers give this app on a CONSTANT basis is bar none. No one even comes close to the perfection of this app! Consistent updates, wonderful add on paks, and stellar customer service, will forever make this my “desert island “ app! Love it, love it, love it!

Love this app but needs to be updated. The app is fantastic but unfortunately when I went to do some adjustments on a camera setting it just kicked me out of the app. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed.

App unusable again. This app has had lots of bugs and stability issues since iOS 10. Even though most of the issues from the iOS 10 release were resolved, the app occasionally does things it shouldn’t. Now I am experiencing constant crashing every few photos with iOS 11, obviously no fun to play with. I have used the app consistently for a few years, a go to app for a number of ongoing projects. I use the app in “classic mode”. I wish the creators would bring the app back to the quality it once was. Or perhaps maybe it’s time to move on.

More than just pictures.. I’ve had this app for years and it’s all I use to shoot. I’ve used it to then print several of my pics which I’ve created a little gallery of mine and my wife’s travels. It’s amazing.

Endless fun. A great concept: instead of applying filters and frames, your hipstamatic camera has lenses and films and you can swap before or after a shoot. Add an occasional flash when you feel like it. You will see the result immediately. Except when you change the look of your camera, it’s just for aesthetic value. Of course it is a bit over the top to buy all the hipstapaks, since you already have so many photo editing apps with filters on your phone/iPad. But this concept is irresistible and fun. Enjoy it and unleash your creativity!

TytheSky. Have used Hipstamatic for over ten years and still using the combinations to create standout photos. The Hipstamatic staff respond to questions and care about their product and are here to stay amidst the pop-up photo app creators who offer. No support and are here only for the profit. Long-term quality!

Superb but it needs an update!. This has been favorite app since it first was released many years ago. And it still is, but need to be updated because the app is lagging after iOS update and/or I got the iPhone 14 pro. Looking forward to an update soon. Kindly Regards

Best photo app ever. I've been using the iPhone for 10 years. I've tried dozens of photos apps. Frankly, nearly all of them are garbage. Hipstamatic is the one photo app I have continued to use ever since I first downloaded it. It makes photography fun again!
