    Will you please add the Lenticular Lens.
    I’m not sure what’s been going on as far as what used to be a monthly release of new filters.
    I’m a loyal customer for many years & I hope that Hipstamatic continues to update the Classic version. I have purchased all of the filter packs over the years & I’m always checking to see if a new one has been released but it’s been quite some time since the last release & yet the Lenticular Lens was released for the newer app but hasn’t been released on the Classic app.
    I’m hoping this isn’t the end of the Classic app or if it is then I truly hope that you’ll allow people to carry over all their paid for filter packs onto the newer app without having to pay for a subscription.

  • This app has given me more joy than any other

    This classic version of Hipstamatic continues to be my all-time favorite app. It’s fun and almost infinitely flexible. I’m sure there’s a learning curve for new users but it’s so worth it — it becomes a self-contained photo lab, capable of creating images that are expressive and amazing, works of very personal art.

    I think the dev team is missing a chance to sell more “paks” by not updating the What’s New section of the library. I used to discover new films & lenses that way. But I’m grateful they are keeping the app alive — I still use it almost daily and it’s kind of the anchor of my social media persona.

    Highest imaginable recommendation.

  • Please do not abandon the classic

    With the new Hipstamatic app as social media I fear the classic will be history. No update in 10 months and a lot of focus on the new app.
    I like the new system but certain aspects are only accessible to members. That is totally understandable and helps keep it a smaller but sweet space.
    As someone who has invested in 133 gears - and a previous subscriber to Oggl- which I loved — most of my gear does not carry on over to the new app. I cannot edit / crop - which is ok as it forces me to shot straight from the camera- that’s a good thing.
    Most importantly- there is the multiple exposure feature that is a major draw for me to Hipstamatic.
    It probably will not be sustainable to tend to 2 apps.
    Such will leave some of us — with less then our investment in the app over time.
    While I have only been a hipsta since 2012- I consider myself semi-OG as it was my first app installed after having used it on a window device prior during 2011.
    Please don’t become an elitist app- even if it does maintain a certain quality in keeping it limited….

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
