Your iPhone takes perfect photos. Hipstamatic® doesn't. That's the point.
Hipstamatic® is the original analog film camera for iPhone — Apple's First App of the Year, awarded under Steve Jobs, and the app that’s defined mobile photography since 2009.
——
SHOOT FIRST. EDIT NEVER.
Pick a lens. Pick a film. Shoot. Hipstamatic® applies the analog effect before you press the shutter — exactly the way a real film camera works. No post-processing. No tweaking. No second-guessing. Just the shot.
——
1,000+ ANALOG COMBINATIONS
200+ lenses and 200+ films across TinType, Instant Camera, Classic Toy, and more. Every combination produces grain, color shifts, light leaks, and vignettes you couldn't replicate anywhere else. Each one unique. None of them perfect. All of them honest.
——
A COMMUNITY THAT ACTUALLY LIKES EACH OTHER
1M+ analog photographers. Chronological feed. No algorithm deciding what you see. No brand accounts. No promoted posts. Just people making photographs they mean.
——
NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ALGORITHMS. EVER.
Hipstamatic® runs on membership — not advertisers. No VC funding. No data harvesting. No feed manipulation. When you join, you're supporting an independent app that's been doing this since before Instagram existed.
——
YOUR PHOTO PASSPORT
Earn stamps as you shoot. Keep your streak alive. Build your Top Nine. Take on monthly photo challenges with the community. Every camera combination you use leaves a mark on your journey.
——
FREE TO START. DEEPER WITH MEMBERSHIP.
Core camera and community features are free. Join the Hipstamatic® Camera Club to unlock the full catalog, keep your posts permanently, and go as deep into the darkroom as you want.
——
The first iPhone App of the Year. Still the best reason to point your camera at something.
It’s been over a decade since the original Hipstamatic turned the iPhone into a vintage camera. The all-new Hipstamatic X adds even more old-school lenses, cameras, and film to the mix.
AWSOME

What can I say, I fell in love with Hipstamatic more than 10 years ago and the love affair continues. The latest version, originally HipstamaticX, has surpassed its predecessors by far and the inbuilt social media along with the fabulous filters and edits makes it a creatives one stop shop
Classic's photo roll is better

There are some really great usability improvements over Hipstamatic Classic but viewing your photos is not one of them. The seemless grid view of Classic may just be my personal preference, but the single photo seemless "tape" view is so much more interesting and exciting than the uninspired single photo view of Hipstamatic X.Some settings like RAW shooting seem to be missing. Hopefully updates will bring X up to bring a worthy successor to an awesome original camera app.
But why??

Long time fan of the original app and use it every time I go back to IOS. Have been using the new app and love it too but why did you have to go to a subscription based service?!? I would prefer to pay for combos/lens/films I would use other than paying a monthly fee for stuff I probably won’t use. Still love your work and use both Hipstamatic apps almost daily
