Hipstamatic®

Old version was great, do you really think someone will pay a membership fee for packages they already bought? Not a friendly user interface. Another failed attempt to revive this app. I’ll stay with my old hipsta version. New version - Deleted!

I love Hipstamatic. I use it a lot and I purchased almost all the effects and packs they released. But the app has become old and buggy so I was delighted to hear there is a new version Hipstamatic X. Thrilled, I downloaded the app, expecting to see all my effects appear there or be restorable or something. But no. Now I am expected to pay a monthly payment for stuff I paid for, or pay a big one time sum. I am sure we will soon see the old Hipstamatic app will lose support... it has already had lots of ios13 issues that were not fixed. I already had a Hipstamatic app that I paid for and was canceled (forgot the name but it was a retro dark room). This is not a way to treat loyal customers and exactly what is wrong with the App Store. You buy in app purchases but no one promises you how long they will be supported. The app itself looks incredible. I love the Hipstamatic products, but they should have gave the effects bought by their loyal customers or if changing the model to monthly, to give a lifetime to those who purchased a lot.

I have used Hipstamatic since day one. Bought lenses and film. And now it’s turned into a lame subscription-based app. WTAF? So sick of companies pulling this kind of thing. Ever hear of not ruining a good thing? I am so frustrated.

I paid for this app for unlimited use before they switched to the subscription model. I also paid for every Hipstapak that was ever released minus a few that I didn’t want. Now I need to pay for a subscription every month or year on top of that if I want to use all of the features again?! I spent so much money on this app already and I feel like I’m being ripped off being asked to pay even more after buying the app outright when it was offered. If an app is bought for unlimited use then it should be honored even if the app switches to the stupid subscription model. I should be able to go to Restore Purchases and be able to use all of the features, but no they want more money. Well it’s not going to happen. I will not pay for any subscriptions. I’m going to start a petition for users who bought apps for unlimited use and are now being asked to pay for a subscription to continue to use all the features of an app when we shouldn’t have to because we already paid for the app. I hope at least my favorite photo app Hipstamatic will at least consider honoring the paid app users by letting us click on Restore Purchases to continue using all the features of the app and not just the Hipstapaks we paid for. I gave this app five stars since I started using it, I would like to change it back to five stars when this is corrected.

I have had Hipstamatic for about 10 years now, and have spent soooo much money accruing lens and filters, to make my photos that extra special, and they are the best at that. BUT NOW they are keeping those packages hostage until i pay them a monthly or yearly fee. FOR WHAT? I already bought them!! Hipstamatic has turned into a bunch of thieves and crooks, and I can’t get behind them anymore.

Please use the iOS system photo picker when choosing a profile picture instead of your custom UI. The entire app lags when I browse I guess due to my huge photo library. And it doesn’t show my latest photos.

This app used use to (many years ago) where you had lenses, paid for ones you wanted. Then this comes up but it’s NOT the same app despite using the same name. As a professional photographer for many many years, this app is trash and chaos when it comes to editing. They have no concept of how film or cameras work, nor even the basics of photography. Its just a lie and cheap ploy. Any photo editing app is infinitely better (it is truly a shock how bad the app is, and that’s when it does not glitch and fail completely). Don’t waste your time and save your money. Don’t fall for this cheap, poorly done scam. No way to get your money back after you realize it’s not the same app (though made by and made to look like the old one that already took money). Just save yourself the trouble and edit using any other app, because (and I’m not exaggerating) any other photo editing app is infinitely better and actually understands how camera, “film”, “flash” and curves work.

I’ve had shows with my Hipstamatic photos, model shoots, and my home is decorated with Hipstamatic photos. All of this because I could pick it up and shoot it quickly. Where did it go? What am I missing?

The app doesn’t work. I’ve taken 30+ pictures with it, and exactly none have been developed. I get a notice they’re developed, then I get an Error 3311. I’ve messaged their support, got a single response, then when I responded with more info, I was ghosted. I asked again for help. Nope, still ghosted just like prom all over again. I wish I could return broken apps like I can return a broken toaster at Costco cause I’d definitely return this app.

can someone turn this off somewhere? if so where?
