<h4>The Beginners Lens Verdict</h4>

There are lots of apps on the market that have the ability to produce results similar to that of HIPSTAMATIC but what sets it apart from others is that you actually feel as if you are holding an old plastic camera. Flippin' cool. The classic black styling of the camera, buttons, and all the nitty-gritty aspects were brilliantly planned and well-executed in this very popular app. And of course, the icing on the cake is the absolutely stunning (we resisted saying awesome, but heck they really are awesome) vintage photos which you will be proud to sharing with your family and friends!

To be totally impartial, there's a few drawbacks. There have been comments that the app isn’t very intuitive to use, which is perhaps because of its old camera interface, which admittedly takes a bit of time to get used to. The viewfinder is also quite small, so you don't actually see everything in the viewfinder which does make it difficult to compose a shot - but for many, that is part of the appeal. Photos from the HIPSTAMATIC app aren't meant to be perfectly composed, they offer a quirky element which sometimes means imperfect shots. One big gripe from HIPSTAMATIC users is that shots taken with other apps cannot be edited within the app, a fair point since it seems many users would like to use the top-quality filters and effects on their other photos. 

Ultimately the whole point of the HIPSTAMATIC app is that it is fun as well as slightly challenging and mysterious, much like using a true vintage camera. Considering the quirky element and the impressive photos, we are more than happy to take the good with the bad. HIPSTAMATIC definitely comes with top marks from The Beginners Lens!

The bottom line is that if you like the app based on its description, you’ll love using it.”</td>
