I wanted to share my experience with a must have iPhone app, Hipstamatic.
The Hipstamatic for iPhone is an application that brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past.
Hipstamatic was a short-run plastic camera developed in the 1980′s by two art school dropouts in Wisconsin, USA. It was never mass produced because the makers died in a tragic accident. You can read more about this in the Wikipedia Article and the Great Hipstamatic 100 Tribute page.
It is definitely one of the best designed applications in the AppStore. It actually feels like you are using a real analog camera. This app also has a very good implementation of the In App Purchase. The camera comes equipped with a couple of lenses, films and one flash. But you can buy other available lenses, films and flashes to create your unique photographs. At the time of writing the app is only 1,59 €, so that’s a no-brainer. Buy this app and and get amazed with the user experience and the awesome photographs.
I have been playing around with the application and you can find my pictures on Flickr. There is already a great community growing on Flickr. Check out all the pictures tagged with Hipstamatic.
