Classic Camera by Hipstamatic

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!).

I’ve used this program for many years and I have almost every pack and linens/film offered by Hipstamatic.. i have lived through every upgrade since iPhone 3.0. There have been several times that I have lost my gear and Hipstamatic has always been able to restore it. Recently with iPhone X i just found out that the reason why some packs are never available is because they have multiple lenses or multiple film options. Hipstamatic doesn’t want to offer these to you as your favorites because there are too many options. And is also concerned that if you buy Retro packs that the same error can occur and replicate your packs. I’ve had duplicate packs show up in my favorites and I’ve always wondered why I had to delete them… not that big of a deal but I was curious. I guess that now they no longer will, but not having gear show up in your favorites, which is where you find your basic film /lens combo options, is simply unacceptable and the developers need to do something to create an option to either provides one film lens combination with multipacks, perhaps with the caveat that you must add the others manually yourself, or provide them all... or better still program a toggle on packs that provide those multiple options instead of making you wonder where your gear is and forcing you to go go look for the options and try to remember what you’ve bought and figure out why it is missing and load them yourself manually!! As soon as you buy several packs of film you will be truly frustrated when you acquire one of the film packs with multiple films/lenses and have to go find your packs and build them manually. I’ve spent over $100 on this app and this is truly unacceptable for an app with this many options.

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!
