Read full descriptionHide full description
Stampo turns every photo into a stamp on your personal pinboard. Snap a moment, watch it print onto a stamped frame, then arrange it however you like on a freeform canvas that grows with you. It's the scrapbook that lives in your pocket โ analog feel, infinite space. THE EXPERIENCE โข An instant camera that lives in the Dynamic Island, expanding when you tap to capture โข Photos extrude out of the print slot with a tactile printing animation โข Each capture lands on your dot-grid canvas as a draggable, rotatable stamp โข Tap any stamp to revisit the full memory with a fluid zoom transition โข Pinch, pan, and arrange โ your moments, your layout FRAMES โข Postage โ vintage mail stamp with serrated edges โข Polaroid โ the classic instant film border โข More frames added with every update DESIGNED FOR iOS 26 โข Liquid Glass canvas controls โข Matched-transition zoom when opening a stamp โข Buttery 120fps interactions on iPhone 17 Pro โข Native Dynamic Island camera integration โ a UX no other camera app offers A DIFFERENT KIND OF PHOTO APP Stampo isn't here to compete with your camera roll or your filters app. It's a place to collect the moments worth keeping and lay them out the way you would on a real corkboard โ except this one never runs out of space. Pin a great Tuesday lunch next to last summer's beach trip. Cluster a road trip into a corner. Sort by mood, not by date. For people who collect moments instead of scrolling past them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stampo at none against Sparkl's shown. Sparkl's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
