Love the filter options! I got this one over ten years ago and just came back to it

not working on ipad

The app does not display properly on my iPad. The screenshot in the ad with a blurry lighthouse and the camera in the middle of the screen in front, that's how the UI should be. I'm getting a blurred closeup of the viewfinder in that camera shape. If I double-tap it I get a partial image of the camera back—all the controls are cut in half and the menu at bottom is entirely clipped off. The app is not functional.
It does work on my phone. That's okay for taking pictures but not for editing them.

ある時から撮れなくなった

iPadで使用中 お気に入りだったのに
ある時からが起動すると画面に
カメラの一部しか表示されなくなり
シャッターを押すのさへ 指で移動させて
黄色のボタンを出して押す感じになった
新しいiPadを買い替えて入れても同じ感じ
お気に入りだったので直し方を教えて欲しい

still the best! however...

it stoped opening correctly on my ipad mini 6 several updates ago. the camera image is halfway off the screen and i can't shoot photos with it because the button is off the screen too. i assumed you or apple updates would fix the problem, but here it is many months later and i can edit photos from apple photo album and that's all i can do. i was one of the early users and it still works fantastic on my iphone, but can we get the same restored on ipad? ❤️

Version 200 ? 🤨

Pourquoi jptran parle de la version 200 ? Réveille-toi mon grand, on en est à la 376. Tu m’étonnes qu’elle bug ta version de 2011. 😂

My bliss

Beyond nostalgia it became part of my life — and remains faithful, improving with age — like the wandering passengers wielding it … my person & me. New Mexico ( “rocks “) to U-P Mich — (also. “Rocks”). And the kids’ BEST images. In time. Not QUITE as lost… unlike us.

My fav photo editing app.

Super easy to use. The Jane filter set to 20-30% seems to work on almost everything.

Can’t download purchases

This used to be a 5* camera app capturing great images, sadly none of the purchases can now be longer be downloaded. As reported by other users, it seems the developer is no longer supporting loyal paying users.

There is a problem, it says " a server with a specified hostname could not be found"

Stopped working with iPhone 16

Won’t load, won’t download purchased gear, won’t let you contact customer support. I love this app and as an artist, I’ve developed a style relying on this app. What a dumb thing to do, because now it appears to have been discontinued.

Problemas de servidor?

Llevo varios días sin poder acceder a las opciones de la nube y de compra y descarga de packs. Me aparece como problema de servidor.

BEWARE!!! Do not uninstall/reinstall! Your lenses/films will be removed from within the camera!

Lately when I try to buy new lenses/films I get an error when I click on the shopping cart saying “The server with the specified hostname cannot be found”.

After several days I decided to uninstall and reinstall the app but the same issue persist’s. Only now none of my previous purchases are available to use now!!!

When I click restore purchases they still aren’t showing within the camera, only the default lenses/films are available to use!!

I installed the newer version of Hipstamatic and it does recognize I have previous purchases but I have no desire to use that version as I prefer to purchase the lenses/films. I have zero interest in subscribing, plus the UI is horrible.

The issue with the classic version seems to be a way to force users onto the newer version’s subscription plan since it’s been an issue for about two weeks now and not one mention of it by Hipstamatic.

So I pretty much wasted a lot of money with this app and I’ve been a user since Hipstamatic came out back in the day!😡

Whats goin’ on?

I can’t restore my purchase in the last few days! I bought the new items and can’t download it!!!!

Inutile

J’avais acheté quelques filtres et quelques boîtiers, et d’un coup le magasin a disparu, on me demande une adresse mail que je n’ai pas fournir un compte que je n’ai pas envie d’avoir, j’ai acheté mes filtres mes objectifs, et d’un coup tu disparais, je peux plus rien prendre l’application quand elle fonctionne et très intéressante. Mais le support est bidon, inexistant.

👍🏼

I’ve had this app since it came out and still enjoy using it, I still buy new lenses/films when they’re released. Even though I have a couple other camera apps, this app still gets plenty of use.

I’ve tried the newer version and just can’t get into it. It just feels to cluttered and I hate the user interface and I’m not doing a subscription either, ever!

Still the best

I’ve had this app since day one and have always loved it. I have supported all their apps and I own every in app purchase this app has ever had. They have fantastic customer support. Yeah, it’s a bummer that a few of their apps have been abandoned, but they weren’t crazy overpriced and they functioned. My only issue is that with every update they still don’t fix the viewfinder. When you first open, you can clearly see through the viewfinder but if you change your lens or anything as soon as you go back to shoot your photo, it’s all a big blur. It’s not a huge deal since you’re kind of taking your chances with how your photos will turn out – however it would be nice to be able to frame up perfect. Especially with films that have frames and such that when
cropped will lose the entire effect. Other than that, this app is still my favorite photo app.

What’s the point…

What’s the point of having the latest iPhone with much more resolution if this thing is going to cut it to 12 megapixels. This applications are a joke. And Apple is a joke as well, those people just follow the same marketing scheme.

Money grab without support!

It appears the developers are more interested in getting you to buy more add-ons than making their product work. If you want more people to spend money on your product, FIX IT!!

Application géniale

Trop heureux de voir que les développeurs ont remis en état de marche cette application qui a toujours été un must dans la créativité. Un grand merci !
