Classic Camera by Hipstamatic for Negative User Reviews

Wow! But crashing lots still..It's a whole new world- a little confusing but i only used it for 10 mins so far- nice to change the film/lens after shooting.. Not sure about everything else.. Has crashed 4 times already too :( Edit- used it on quite a few pics, no more crashing (yet).. Actually i really love it. It's gone from something i haven't used much in a while to being what looks like a very good editing suite with the hipstamatic flavour.. And you can choose to just stick with the old style hipstamatic shooter if you so desire. Edit2- just updated again and now it's crashing worse than ever :( Even had one where it froze the screen and took a while to restart. Edit 3- hoping for an update to fix this, it is often freezing when you try to save a photo.Version: 301

No photosSeems to be bug in the app every time I take a picture it’s just white and this app is good when it works properly.Version: 364

DisappointedSTILL cannot download the Dali pack. VERY disappointed. I want my money back!.Version: 0

Can't change the filmFor some reason the most recent version of the app on the most recent iOS won’t allow me to change films. The “case” moves to the right briefly but when I even touch the “film” it jumps straight back to the camera case. Annoying as I can change my lens and flash, but am left with having to shake my phone in an effort to get a good film on random..Version: 360

Garbage!!!AWEFuL GARBAGE!! Photos take mins instead of secs to develop! the app then crashes during "roll winding" making u lose pics! Devs dont care... Every update has made it worse! even after milking us with inapp purchases!!! Downgrade to a time when Hipstamatic was king....Version: 221

Save your money.I do like the effects available from this app but there are some major short comings. For one since the last update it doesn't open for me, it just crashes repeatedly. You would think that would be enough but no there's more. To get the true meat of this app you have to spend more money because the app comes so bare bones it's ridiculous! And the final kicker is the horrible interface, no previews for different films or lens and a pain to switch between them..Version: 231

Used to be brilliantI used to love Hipstamatic back in the days… I even had it in my dock in place of the default camera app. But since the big 300 update some years ago, it’s never been quite the same - even after they reintroduced some of the original, classic features. I hate the way I have to keep rotating the phone around when I want to look at the images I’ve just snapped. I hate the way I can only scroll up and down to view the photos. I hate the fact that you can’t zoom in on the images you’ve taken. The images it takes are great though and classic lock does away with the unnecessary ‘features’ that you don’t really need. I just wish it was like the old days….Version: 365

IPad AppWhenever I do the editing on the iPad (where I like to do my editing as the screen is bigger and clearer) and try to save it, the app just crashes and exit. Updated the app and iOS, issue is still not fixed. It’s been going on for a few months now, I’ve contacted developers, they asked for some info/codes from the app, gave it to them and haven’t heard back since. So disappointed especially since I have invested in buying the app and the paks along with it..Version: 353

Not the same.I’ve been using the app since day 1, almost 10 years ago. I’ve had used their other apps such as swankolab, DType, Oggl, Cinamatic, incredibooth, their mags etc. But I don’t see the same excitement from them recently. The app keeps crashing, so many bugs yet they keep on releasing the new paks so often so soon and these paks don’t even get any highlights or people using it and soon after before we know it, they just release yet another paks. Do they even care about these paks? Or photos taken on these? The app? The people using? I miss the days of them releasing the new pak, people using it, seeing it on snap mag, talking about it, experimenting with it, let you explore it and sharing it. I feel like these were one of the biggest charm of Hipstamatic and now they’re lost..Version: 365

How to turn a diamond into charcoalI’ve used it for a few years and when I started using it it was a brilliant concept - it made you think about the cumulative effects of the lenses, films and flashes. The result was amazing and it was indispensable. Unfortunately from that point it has turned into a money-making exercise where different lens, film and flash effects are produced out monthly with very little that is any different from what’s already on offer. In addition there have been innumerable updates and bright ideas added such as the editing feature and the manual exposure wheel. Unfortunately numerous bugs have developed that affect the camera when the lens effect is changed and the manual exposure wheel now crashes the whole app. They need to think about their modus operandi: do they want to produce something that actually works or are they solely interested in producing a substandard and unreliable product with monthly additional purchases in an attempt to maximise their profits? At the moment I think it’s the latter. Until they fix the issues avoid like the plague. Please..Version: 365

Needless featuresThis was a 5 star app not too long ago. But now there is a spinning star which clicks to micro transactions, and the circle arrow, which previously turned the interface to the edit screen, now goes to a printing page. The app still takes good photos, but is hardly worth the annoyances..Version: 354

3 years and still no fixI’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..Version: 363

CRASHES ALL THE TIME!!!I used to LOVE this app. Now it only works sometimes. When I says “works” I really mean “saves”. In work mode it’s fine. I’m able to get everything done, but then when I go to SAVE it, it crashes....MOST of the time. Every now and then it will say or I’ll just do a screen capture as it’s trying to save. Very sad. This used to be my favorite, and now it’s the worst. Fix it and I’ll give it 5 stars, gladly. I WANT this to go back to being the great app it used to be. I don’t want it to fail, as it has done thus far. I’m not going to use it for a while until it gets fixed..Version: 352

From Flash to CrashI began using Hipstamatic what it first came out on my iPhone 3. I loved it. It was my go to photo app. I bought sooooo many of the “films”, lenses, covers & extras. I absolutely loved this app. However, it crashes constantly now. I’ve not been able to take a single photo with it. I’m a professional photographer by trade for the military, so this is my fun app. I really loved it. I was thrilled to see it back & improved, until I tried to use it I open it, try changing the film &/or lens, go to take a photo, and crash. Try reopening it, crash, crash, fail. I’m truly bummed out. I hope the developer can fix it. I have an iPhone 7+ now, and probably won’t upgrade for another year or two, but when I do...I hope things are fixed. Shoot, I hope they get fixed now. You guys created an awesome app. Please fix the problems. Thanks! A loyal Hipstamatic fan, even with the crappy crashing..Version: 341

Not really worth money, would be ok if it was freeThe quality of the picture is quite poor and developing time is taking longer and longer as you use. I like its feature but could've been better. The biggest thing that was disappointing was as it cut down the size too small. would've been 4 star if the size was bigger would've been 5 star if it was a bit faster with better quality.Version: 0

AnnoyedI live hipstamatic. Theres no denying it but...the new packs downloads are frustrating. It kept shutting down as I bought it the it wouldn't download and would crash. I really want the two new packs but it needs to be fixed. Please. It seems that it won't let me download the new packs and they've taken away the Levi one which i paid for. I'd like to either get the pack or get a refund for the pack. Not happy paying for it if i don't get it. edti;; I just thought i'd try it with a wireless connection and i got the dali pack...but the levi holiday one is gone and i paid of it. I think that a little curtesy saying that a wireless connection is needed to download the packs would have been nice or i wouldn't have bothered to buy the levi pack..Version: 185

I have loved this app which is why I’ve spent so much money on itBut it keeps on crashing upon trying to save my photos. Please Update!.Version: 365

Would be 5-star if it didn't crash so muchI was a fan of Hipstermatic 200, and this version looks like it was on-track for more of the same love, except I can't afford to upgrade my phone, so it crashes on my 4S, all. The. Darn. Time. It's basically not usable. Given I have spent a bit on the various effects packs, that was disappointing. Is there a way to go back to the previous version?.Version: 301

So slowI understand the whole authentic/retro feel it is going for, but 20 seconds to wait for a high quality picture to "develop" is stopping this from being my go to camera for quick snaps. The iPhone is not a retro device. "Developing"was good for a chuckle the first time around, but after two pics it gets tedious. PLEASE FIX. It does take nice pictures, but it needs to be faster or at least render in the background so you can take another picture right away..Version: 185

Hipstapak?Paid for it, love it, but why can't we get the hipstapak anymore? Frustrating beyond belief. Would be 5 stars, but not without the hipstapak attachment..Version: 261

IOS 6 + Hipstamatic = DisappointingThis used to be an awesome app. I have all the plugins but since the iOS 6 update the app has totally sht the bed :( It has actually crashed (rebooted) my phone. Please fixs the app and ill change my rating.Version: 260

Crashes After ShootingThis has always been a good app and I’ve hardly ever had any problems with it. But today, the app not only crashed (took an image and it crashed immediately, which happened each time), it removed some of the settings I had created (removing what I didn’t want and adding what I wanted) and the new favourites (that I had made prior to taking the snap) didn’t save. It probably wouldn’t be so bad if this didn’t happen, then it’d be worth the constant money raking..Version: 351

Not impressed with last updateOne of my favorite camera apps since months, I use it on a daily basis on my iPhone 4S and many times during the day. I also use it for some of my portraits. I love this app so much that I bought ALL the packs available, accounting for quite the bucks. Your last update was and is a DISASTER. 1) Canʻt develop the picture that, smack in the middle, crashes. 2) Open the app, leave it running (without using it) and it crashes within 5/8 seconds. You broke something and you need to fix it, asap!!! Wonʻt be buying new packs until this crashing issue is fixed for good as I donʻt like wasting my money on something that doesnʻt work period. When you do, Iʻll give you 5 stars. Not NOW !!!.Version: 250

Only Hipstamatic would find a way......to continually crash itself when I try to save something on my brand new iPad. Biting off more than they can chew? Straight-up arrogance to their users? Who can tell?.Version: 352

Are you even reading the reviews?Update: Still a buggy app, too many new releases without issues being addressed. The first Friday rarely shows up on a Friday and then you must update the app and your iOS. It seems like arm twisting with these constant ‘update’ before you purchase our product tactic. So you update and it still tells you to update. I so miss the app that first came out years ago. Simple and fun. Dear Hipstamatic, From what I am seeing and reading there are a bunch of us long time Hipstamatic users that wish you would have made your new version a stand alone app. Or waited to release when the bugs were all figured out. But you keep releasing new films and lenses ( which are not available to those that didn't upgrade ) and the bugs keep marching on. The thing I keep hearing from my Hipsta friends is that if we wanted to post process photos there is already numerous apps out there that do just that. The fun of this app was that it made you think about films and lenses and what would work for that particular photo. Now there's not much to think about because you can just 'fix it' after the fact. Come on let's get this right. Do some maintenance work on the 280, take the new one out for some major fixing and make the pro version a stand alone..Version: 351

What's with all the hype?I consider myself a professional photographer. I have photographed weddings, events and have done fine arts photography. All of my photography has been done using professional 35mm cameras. That being said, I have decided that I would get into iPhone photography. After trying many iPhone photography apps I decided to give Hipstamatic a try. After trying it for about two weeks I am not sure what all the positive feedback with Hipstamatic is about. I am pretty sure I don't like the Hipstamatic app. Plus, the extras attached to the app is too expensive. Delete!.Version: 339

NO FACEBOOK SUPPORT!Scammed into updating this app after not using it for at least 5 years because the update promised a "new red Laos filter!" Yeah, TO PURCHASE! I want my memory back..Version: 339

Poor photo editing effectsI bought this app to use the Potrait editing features.There are not available anymore.They have disappeared and when I wrote to the company there was no reply.a scam.Version: 362

Crashing - otherwise great appI’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..Version: 365

Used to be good but now unusableCrashes on iPhone 8 running iOS 11 after taking a photo and photo not saved - Tried reinstalling but no help. Unusable now and not worth the effort. This a shame as this used to be a good app..Version: 350

Updates?Hey Hipstamatic, I’m enjoying your app but it needs an update to fix the visual scaling for iOS 14.2 and your link to ‘support’ appears compromised. Thnx.Version: 363

Need to hire a new dev teamThe current app is buggy and unstable. The dev team is incapable of developing an app without bugs and stability issues. Every new iOS update makes hipstamatic less stable, as well as the newer phones..Version: 367

Enormously Unduly OverratedIf I could give this app less than zero rating star, I would've done so. I have tried dozens and dozens of apps, many of them from the photo/video category, and I remain unable to understand what makes this app attractive to some people: It has many flaws, many awkward downsides. I hate the interface, the emplacement of the shutter button, the unavailability of time-face, the repeated crashes, and first and foremost I hate that the people behind this app have made it impossible to enjoy anything unless you pay for lens, flashes, and films, since the ones provided initially are just crap, nothing more. If you want to have a useless piece of junk in your iPhone, try this Hipstamatic..Version: 231

BrokenSharing to Flickr appears to be broken. SSL required error 95. Has always been a bit temperamental posting to Flickr, but now won't at all :-( Update November 2015 Terrible update has ruined the app. Over complicated and unreliable. Now can't save photos because app crashes during saving. Hipstamatic has created multiple folders and doesn't seem able to save anything in them. Disappointing for what used to be such a great app..Version: 302

Problematic on iPhone 11The app used to work flawlessly on iPhone 7 but since my upgrade to iPhone 11 it often presents issues, especially with loading film. It’s like the screen is bugged. Obviously the developers have not fully tested it with this version of iPhone. Also app support seems to be dead... guess they’ve fallen into the ‘push out film-micro-transactions’ and bugger the users. Greedy Silicon Valley executives, typical..Version: 362

Terrible InterfaceNot intuitive interface, so far unable to use it, waste of money.Version: 365

How is this 5 star?All of the reviews are 7 years old. Do not buy this app. I paid $5.99 for this app in a bundle. 6 bucks gets you pretty much nothing and most of the decent looking filters and effects need to be paid for additionally. $1.49 PER lens and film? What am I paying $5.99 for? That’s not what you expect when you pay for $5.99 for an app. Apparently REFUNDS ARE NOT ALLOWED EITHER. DO NOT BUY THIS APP..Version: 340

Now you have to pay???I had lots of different packs before but now it’s asking for payments to use anything other than the basics, which are terrible. I’m not paying £8.99 for a starter pack?! What happened to my original packs?.Version: 356

It’s OK... but can disappointAs the overall 4.8 out of 5 rating indicates, this app has captured the hearts and imagination of a lot of folks... but the preponderance of recent reviews reflect my experience with both my iPhone8+ and iPad Pro... sadly,the app crashes at the most inconvenient moments. When the camera, lenses, films, and flashes work, the images can be stunningly satisfying... and editing images, with the options of changing lenses and films after the fact, is very nice... provided things don’t crash. My recommendation is to go ahead and get the app, but don’t go crazy getting the add-on lenses, films and flashes until you get a sense of how the basic camera works on your device. Otherwise, you may find it incredibly frustrating to have spent money and time tooling-up and exploring the possibilities... only to end up with a crash-prone and buggy app. On the good side: the developers seem to be available, and my experience with them has been quite positive. There’s a lot that must be going on “under the hood” of this app, and making every device play nice must be very difficult. We can only hope the crashes get fixed in the next update..Version: 340

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..Version: 361

😓 APP NOT WORKINGHello Hipstamatic people. I left a review recently stating I was experiencing a problem. The problem being, when trying to load an "already taken" photo on let's say the IPad camera, photo is on device - when trying to open the already taken photo in Hipstamatic - the app, simply crashes. Ie. stops working and closes. I saw an update was available - so I've updated the app on both my iPhone and iPad - and it remains the same problem. I'm inky raising this, as I have spent money on this app. for in app things Like flash, camera lense - camera packs etc. the photos I really want to play with, I can not. Can someone who works on this app make contact with me? If this isn't a problem likely to be resolved, I'd kindly ask for the money I have spent, returned. Thanks.Version: 320

Fan but performance has been a little slow latelyHave been using Hipstamatic for many years and always been a huge fan of the new lenses etc. Lately the app has been having severe performance issues, has lagged a lot. Despite reinstalling, same results 🙁 not sure how else to have this frustrating issue resolved..Version: 366

Still keeps crashing after all these years...Adding packs, changing film, restoring purchase, you name it.... Random. But constant..Version: 353

Bad NewsMy bad for saying Hipstamatic have become as greedy as every other capitalist company on this planet? I have today received an email to say that the original beloved Hipstamatic app will now revert to subscription every 6 months. HipstamaticX was designed as a streamlined simpler shooting experience quoting the transfer of gear from original to X, “ As well, you can also import all of the lenses and films you've already bought into Hipstamatic X, for free.” talking about subscription, “ It provides a simplified way to access the entire Hipstamatic catalog of lenses and films,” I subscribe to HipstamaticX of course to get all the benefits of new gear being used only to find today that I am not getting the new lenses etc as they only appear on the original Hipstamatic app! So I am paying TWICE for what I should be getting as free as part of the subscription! This is nothing more than a RIP OFF! I am so angry hipstamatic will no longer be a hashtag nor a subscription!.Version: 367

Crashing... like a rear-ended Pinto now when I try to create a new camera (lens/film combinations) since last update - thus of severely limited usefulness given what the app is supposed to do. In addition the interface for camera creation leaves much to be desired - attempting to find anything is like asking a politician for a straight answer - not happening..Version: 365

CrashesI’m trying to turn on flashes/film that have been turned off somehow (I have a new phone) and it crashes every single time. It’s irritating..Version: 354

LEVI'S GOOD PAKAnyone else having issues downloading this? My phone says "mine" and I just recieveved a receipt, which means I have been charged for it, but its not downloading to my phone! Once again just like the previous Dali Goodpack, it is a HUGE effort by the looks of things to actually get it on, and have it working. I realise this is for charity, but I think hipstamatic, is starting to take its customers for granted. It is the only app I have ever had problems trying to download. Get it together hipstamatic. Don't just charge people without your app extras being easily available! Just dropped another star in my rating of this app! Hope you sort it out soon, because having issues once with your downloads is not cool, twice is pretty annoying, three times might have to just be delete. Also is anyone else still having issues with hipstamatic asking for itunes password contsantly? They said this bug was fixed with the new update, but still the same for me! Great app, when it works properly. Don't dissapoint us hipstamatic. We like you, but you are making it a little difficult!.Version: 185

Please get your act together, Hipstamatic!Do not buy this app, it's is a total mess. It's buggy, and I mean BUGGY! Is there a new CEO appointed at this company? If so, he/she should be fired. If not, someone's head should roll. This was my go-to photo app from day 1. Now I'm going to delete it. It's just become another mediocre photo app with millions of unwanted options, including the kitchen sink - but way worse than its competitors because it's FULL of bugs! It crashes every minute, it loses past and new photos, it doesn't retain my preferred filter settings, the list goes on. Hipstamatic was a quirky, original, amazing photo app. Its beauty was its simplicity. My friends and me were huge fans of it and we were in love with it. Now it's a total disaster. Please give us back the old Hipstsamatic. This app is an April Fools joke and it's not even April.....argh!!!!.Version: 301

Faithful, but...Update 4/7/17... Why??? Just updated the app, purchased the Fisheye snap pak and now it’s crashes every time I open it. Soooooo disappointing! Happening again... why is it too much to ask for this to run smoothly? I’ve spent so much money on this! It’s like you guys gave up. While I absolutely love Hipstamatic - been there since the beginning and have every single pak that’s been released. It’s one of my fave photography apps. However, lately this app has been crashing, and the only remedy seems to be removing the app, reloading it, and restoring all my purchases. This is now the 2nd time (the app has crashed many time before but I’ve never had to delete and restore). I’ve spent too much to delete this app completely. Please fix..Version: 341

Updates neededIt has been a while since last update. Now this app is basically unusable. Picking a photo to edit, it crashes, trying to shop for new gears, it crashes, trying to save to photo library and it CRASHES. OMG. I cannot believe this is the app that I have been using and loving..Version: 367

New version has lost its way.I've spent loads of money in this app buying new films and lenses. New version is massively disappointing. Post editing shots - who cares. I've got Instagram for that. You're kidding yourself if you think you can compete there. You should have stuck to your point of difference. It was about coming up with the right combos of lens and film in the moment. It had a cool retro feel, now it's bland and generic. The new icon is so ugly - it had a cool, old school camera icon, now it looks like any other generic camera app with a horrid colour combo. Too ugly have this on my home screen. Ugly has replaced cool - what were you thinking! All it needed was a way to manually organise my films and lenses (because I've bought so many). Sadly, I won't be spending any more money on this now daggy app. Bring cool back. This app has totally lost its way..Version: 280

It's good but......Every update seems to make it slower and slower and it's been crashing a lot as of late. I'd try removing and reinstalling the app if it wasn't for the horror stories I've read about getting your in app purchases back, seeing as I have almost every pak a little afraid of losing it. Oh and the 230 update "faster processing of photos"? Who cares?! You took away background processing so it's back to take a shot, wait, hope it turns out. I really want to rate this app five stars but it's really become frustrating to use compared to when I first bought it close to a year ago. I've also sunk a bunch of cash into in app paks and find myself sticking with a couple of lenses and a few films as the rest give pretty mediocre results. Another suggestion, I want to see a sample of what I'm going to get before purchasing a pak, this no sample business is ridiculous, take a few shots and upload them when you put the pak up for sale!.Version: 230

Used to love this app now it’s constantly crashingAs the title says. It was great, now it feels dated (and not in the retro aesthetics, which are expected) and crashes constantly..Version: 365

Needs an overhaul...againThis 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?.Version: 360

Photo Editor is incredibly inconsistentStill 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..Version: 365

Very disappointed!Like others have expressed, the camera keeps freezing!!! This in not fun.....Version: 185

Fantastic app but crashes too muchI have loved this app since I bought it 3 years ago especially since it started supporting RAW photos but recently it has started to crash and close out 9 out of 10 times I open it to try and take a picture. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason behind it, the screen just goes black and takes me back to my iPhone home screen. I have tried restarting my phone but doesn’t really eliminate the problem. Not sure if it’s the app or the phone or the os. I have a brand new iPhone 8, and it’s really frustrating that this keeps happening, it ruins being able to capture certain moments. Hopefully there is an update or fix coming soon..Version: 351

Want a crappier camera? Buy this App!DO NOT BUY THIS AWFUL APP! Before I get started I'm using the iPhone 3G[s], why charge for this crap only to get into it, and see you need to buy "HIPSTAPAK" to get the themes and cool stuff you see in the demo here. Also, it's not fun, the camera shutter is slow, and it's really disappointing. You'll get the feeling you were ripped off with in the first 2 minutes of playing with it. Horrible program, horrible price, horrible over all expectations were set from the preview to actual usage. If I could get my money back, I would..Version: 0

Getting Left BehindAfter sticking with an older iPhone for 4 years, I’ve just upgraded to a new iPhone 12 Pro. It’s really disappointing to find that the app hasn’t been updated to make use of the three camera array. Hipstamatic X doesn’t excite or interest me, so it’s starting to fell like my investment in films and lenses is being left behind. Come on guys, let’s get this app making full use of the latest hardware..Version: 364

Once was cool, now too expensiveHate that they charge for additional filters and stuff that you get for free on Instagram. Also highly dislike that you cannot import existing images to stylise them..Version: 262

App fails when switching between filmsSince the last update this app fails when changing films. I’m doing this midway through gigs & I get a blank viewfinder & blank picture! I have to shut the app down & restart it to have any chance of it working. I’m using the latest Apple iOS on top iPhone if that helps..Version: 356

Doesn’t work anymoreThis app doesn’t save the pictures you edit anymore. It only saves pictures you take with the app. It’s been like this for a few weeks. If you need to edit pictures you take with the native camera or other apps, look for something else..Version: 359

Very unhappy with new update!I've had this app for several years, I've even bought many of the in-app purchases. But when Instagram came about, I admit I used Hipstamatic less and less because nearly every time new content was released for it, it came with a price whereas Instagram was free! Now this new update has come in and EVERYTHING has changed. Where Hipstamatic used to be different, it now looks like any other photo studio app, but the one thing that hadn't changed? Almost every item (or filter, who are we kidding?) costs more money! Why bother?! There's far better photo studio apps and most are free or at the very least you pay 99 cents for several new filters instead of 99 cents per filter each time. Save your money, this app just isn't worth it any more..Version: 301

Once My Favorite, But Now Just RubbishCurrent Review: Updating to 340 was the biggest mistake I ever made with an App. I used to love Hipstamatic, but this update makes the app practically unusable on my iPad Mini, Now the camera is off frame by about 50%, meaning that only about half my recorded frame is what I expected to capture. Additionally, it used to be easy to flip my camera around and customize my lens/film choice. Now I have to dial through a variety of "favorite cameras." This is just awful. v.280 was probably the last good version. Older Review: For a long time I held off updating from v.280. Now that I've updated to 305, I regret it. Not only did my case from the Long Island Free Pak not make the transfer, but when shooting in relatively low light with moderate light sources, my results show artifacts from failed rendering, bright blue and red pixilization in the highlights and green pixilization in the shadows. The problem first showed in the much touted manual mode and persisted through classic mode. I shot three snaps, all with problems, using a neville+daydream setup. (Now that I'm on v.340, I wish I still had v.305.).Version: 340

I want to like it, but it’s too crypticI like the photo results, but find it very hard to replicate them or choose which effects I will get next. I’m not a fan of the interface at all - in fact it’s so hard to figure out it feels like it gets in the way of creativity rather than enabling it..Version: 367

I did love it - but now it constantly crashesNo matter what I do now Hipstamatic constantly crashes for me. I love the app, but can’t use it at all any more. I’ve reset it, redownloaded it, tried importing pics, tried taking pics - every time I try to make an image in any way it crashes. Very frustrating as it’s a great app when it works..Version: 342

Bye bye Hipstamatic, you’ll be missed...This sad day has been many years in the making, but I finally had to remove my beloved Hipstamatic from my iPhone. I have been a Hipsta devotee since day one, so much so it’s the only reason I’m still on an iPhone. It has been my singular stylized iPhone shooting and editing app since the first time I used it, and I suffered through all the issues over the years (they never really conquered iCloud syncing of edits, did they?). But since approx v3 it’s just become so unstable to a point that it was ruining shoots. The issues started about a year ago, when Hipsta started killing my battery routinely taking my phone from 30% to a hard dead in seconds. On one shoot on the Highline in NYC Hipsta killed the phone so badly I had to take into an Apple store to get it restarted. Now with the latest version it’s completely dead, crashing on every start, displaying the lens on the case off-center, quitting but still running in the background, and still with the battery issues. It’s a sad day indeed, but if you can’t rely on your photo software then it’s time for the software to go. It was a good run, old friend...😢.Version: 351

Beautiful to look at...but many flaws.I have every photography app you can think of...and I rarely right reviews, but this app drove me say something. Let's start with the positive. Aesthetically this app is gorgeous, far superior to most photography apps. However, it is very difficult to use, switching the lenses and the flashes can get confusing. But what makes me SOOOOOO frustrated is that for $1.99 you get only a limited app. You get two lenses and a couple of flashes, and if you want any more lenses or flashes you have to pay for them. The app should really be advertised for $10.99 and then give the customer all the lenses and flashes. I guess I just feel really duped. There are apps out there that don't look as cool, but do much, much more for a lot less money, and don't sucker you in to buy more..Version: 0

BuggyHuge potential but very very laggy and full of bugs. Latest release was to fix editing which now doesn’t work at all. The edit button when you review the images does nothing on the iPhone 8 Plus the image is taken on - on the iPad it downloads the image and then returns a coca error ‘-1’ Live preview only previews the lens. Constantly locks up. Emailed the developers but had no response - it’s a shame the bits that work work well. Shame they didn’t test it before they released it..Version: 342

Frustrating!!I have used this app for a few years and loved it. Since the new IOS 14.1 i have had nothing but problems! It will not stay on the editing choices for flashes. It is not saving my work. I sent an e-mail for help through the website but have not received a reply. I’ve turn off my iPad- deleted the app and reinstalled and yet it continues to have these glitches! Over the years I have paid for hundreds of lenses, films and flashes. I cannot use this app now!! Unless the developer does something to correct these problems and posts the revisions, DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!!.Version: 363

Love the new features but keeps crashing and it's sloooowUpdate: Nov 28, 2017. Notoriously crashing and losing pics I’ve taken with the latest iOS... I really want to give you guys a better rating. Please please fix these issues. I hate it also how it defaults to a different lens/film combo after I reopen the app after the crashing. Wonder If anyone else is having these issues? Update: 30x was supposed to fix your crashing problems so I gave it another try. But why oh why do guys keep releasing versions that keeping crashing? This latest version crashed the app suddenly. Queued up pics to process are lost which is the most annoying thing. Memories lost. Please please figure out your QA before releasing updates. So disappointed again.. Update:I removed this 30x version and gone back to an older one. Same problems in my wife's iPhone 6+. How can you guys release something so crap when there were so many bugs to work out. I would be embarrassed. Please do yourselves a favour and fix this and win back the your loyal followers. Come on guys! Please please fix the bugs that keep my fav photo app of all time! It's so disappointing to have this app behave so slowly. My iPhone 5 would halt at times. App crashes and automatically closes... Needs to resolve these issues. I may have to remove this and go back to an earlier version now....Version: 339

BugsSo I downloaded 185, it froze, I deleted the app...re-installed, now it won't restore the Dali pack...which I really enjoy...it says an error msg everytime...please fix this :(.Version: 0

Seriously miffedFriend recommended this app so I've Just bought this on the iPhone App Store for £2.99 went on iTunes a bit later and this plus cinamatic are being sold as a bundle for £1.00 this deal does not show on the iPhone. Will be asking for a refund and removing the app. Not a happy buyer, I don't expect this sort of behaviour from apple and the app devs. Had a similar issue with iColorama..Version: 339

Nobody helps after almost 5 yearsI 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..Version: 365

Fix Soho and Bondi packs.Loved the app until I purchased both the Soho and Bondi packs... I can't download them even if I try to restore my purchases..Version: 210

Get it fixed, already!...Have given this app a favourable review in the past, demonstrating my faith in the fact that good developers fix problems ASAP. I've purchased every Hipsta pak released. In-app purchase of Bondi and SOHO paks are a waste of time and money - they simply WILL NOT download on my i4. And now, the latest release (Retropak One) costing $2.49, won't download either. So, paid for the last three in-app expansion paks without being able to download and use them. This has been an issue with Hipsta for *months* now (as a look through the reviews for it will confirm), despite software updates, which you'd think would have addressed, a now, long-standing problem! Beware!... The developers of this app CANNOT be unaware of the on-going problem. Yet they persist in releasing stuff people will pay for but not be able to use. Go figure?....Version: 210

No App SupportI am a classic user. I have bought every lens and film. But I had a problem and when click app support it states server not available. If I email I receive no response. I bought all scene magazines and now on my new phone there are no magazines showing in the app and I cannot retrieve my purchases. Previous complaint unresolved, What’s happening?.Version: 367

VERY DISAPPOINTED ~ hoping for a fixNew iPad arrived today and reuploaded this app and restored all my purchases. It’s completely unusable. It crashes as soon as I load a photo in. I’ve easily spent over $100 on this app and unless I hear back from support I’m going to have to assume I’ve wasted all that money. VERY DISAPPOINTED.Version: 366

IPad version is unstableLike another reviewer I would give the iPhone version 5 stars. Unfortunately my iPad version crashes repeatedly. A friend has the same problem on his iPad too. Effectively unusable on the iPad until the bug is fixed..Version: 344

From a Joy to a ChoreI’ve been using Hipstamatic for years, invested in a lot of the filters and have had nothing but a five star experience up until a few months ago. It seems to coincide with the release of iOS 11 and more importantly iPhone X. Since then, my go-to app for genuinely terrific photography has crashed, frozen, failed to save, etc. If the developer keeps crash reports, there’s got to be a whole library by now just for me given the number of times this app has let me down and yet I keep coming back to it. I can echo a lot of recent reviews by saying “Come in guys...”. I understand the desire to make the software compatible with the newest technology but if it is at the expense of the experience of loyal users who have invested a great deal of time and more than a little money on extras, you’re not doing your due diligence when it comes to addressing issues with ‘recent’ technology. I’ve hoped after every of the last 5 or so updates that the bugs would be quashed, yet in many cases the experience is worse rather than better. I’m hanging in there guys but please reward my and others patience with a functional app before we find something that doesn’t consume half our time retracing our steps over and over..Version: 340

Love it! hate it!Love this app, but please sort the crashing out - I read complaints that it was older iPhones, it’s ALL iPhones! Please please sort!.Version: 351

The Zoom Doesn’t WorkLove this app and have spent god knows how much on paks over the years but the zoom doesn’t work on my 11 plus any more. The magnifying glass symbol is sometimes missing altogether and sometimes greyed out..Version: 364

CrashamaticWhen this app is working, it’s a lot of fun, but they still have issues crashing. Every time I try to edit a photograph, it crashes. I’ve spent A LOT of money on this app and for it to no longer work is a great disappointment. They had the app working again a few weeks ago for both the iPhone and the iPad. Unfortunately it’s crashing so soon that you can’t take or edit a photo. Every time they update the app, it becomes worthless again. The fun to be had is only available during a small sweet spot of time.Version: 343

No updatesNo 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..Version: 365

One thingIt’s a great app. The only thing stopping me from using this as my regular camera app is that it’s not reliable. It crashes waaay too much and always has unfortunately. I have been using this app since iPhone 4 and it’s still doing it on 11 pro. It’s why I’ve stopped buying the new film and lenses for it..Version: 364

What Gives?I purchased the Levi pack and Portland pack and I am not able to access them. I would like my $2 back please! The rest of the app is great and I love messing around with the different lenses and films but the fact I gave $2 away for nothing in return is enough reason for me to give a one star rating. Fix this problem and I may consider changing my rating..Version: 185

Useless constant crashingI’ve had Hipstamatic on my iPhones since the beginning, an have loved it for as long as it was loveable. It is no longer, and has been so for a while now. The company’s focus shifted from being a really cool, fun to use, reliable camera to a new pack every month (often with none to little differentiation from packs of the past) to continually try to extract more money from loyalists, all the while ignoring stability issues. It doesn’t matter that I own all but about three of the film/lens packs, They can’t be used at all because the app just CRASHES almost immediately EVERY TIME I TRY TO USE IT. Way to ruin something great with your greed and carelessness. My belated Christmas gift to myself will be to delete this useless junk app, save myself a whole lot of frustration, and get on with taking photographs with some other app that actually works. Update: Bought a new phone, and this tired app still crashes constantly making it unusable. I found the solution though. Delete! Bye bye..Version: 340

BadNot happy with this app as i can’t even access it it keeps glitching out of the app I want a full refund.Version: 365

RandomiseWhat happened? The best thing you ever did was create randomise films on the take photo button, so I could shoot a hundred photos in seconds. Now it appears that I’m back to the shake to randomise setting which means refocusing every shot and missing that fraction of a second picture Because I was too busy shaking my phone. Put it back. I’d stopped using Hipstamatic because I was fed up of shaking my phone. I came back to it when you put in the one thing I especially wanted only for you to take it away again.... Not happy..Version: 352

BewareBuying this app means that all the photos you take can be used by the hipstamatic team with impunity. Buying this app also means that you will have to agree to a lengthy terms of agreement contract and set up an account. DO NOT BUY THIS APP IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PHOTOS TO BE SHARED BY OTHERS AND KEPT PRIVATE..Version: 220

The originalI have loved Hipstamatic for a very long time and still use it now, more than ever now paired with a camera. For the iPhone version this would get 5 stars but please fix the iPad version. It constantly crashes and is unusable!!.Version: 340

Crash!Updated last night and now it won't even open. Crashes on loading screen every single time. I've spent a considerable amount of money on this app and in app purchases so I'm more than a little pissed that it no longer works on my iPhone 3G. Fix it and you're back up to the 5 star rating you deserve for this awesome app. Until then, 1 lowly star for you..Version: 230

Disappointing lack of supportCertain features haven’t worked properly in years, for example the share to buttons - you just get an error message. Unable to flag or contact the developers as the link to contact them via this page is a dead link. Less new hipstapaks and more fixing bugs please.Version: 366
