Leave a Review Classic Camera by Hipstamatic
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!).Show lessVegastowerssucks

Hello! Apologies for any hiccup today. Happy to help you out. At your convenience, please email support@hipstamaticapp.com and we'll get that straightened out for you. Cheers!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.Show lessPrimalRhythms
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.Show lessericfuentes
❤️ 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!Show lessBAR112

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. ❤️Show lessGgrmp
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.Show lessN7Adhamh
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.Show lessTomS45
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!Show lessnancy-rae
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.Show lessBo/CO
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?Show lessJsnrdrck
