Cameramatic

I am an experienced "iPhoneographer" with ages that have been used commercially, so here's my take: I've been using both Cameramatic and Hipstamatic since they both were released. →Cameramatic wins. Cameramatic does what you need for a 1x1 toy camera app without making you pay $0.99 every once in a while. Yes, there are a few in-app filter sets, but I don't need them. If you want a toy camera /old camera app that allows you to control your image, then Cameramatic is it. What about Hipstamatic? Excellent business plan. Magazine, t-shirts, contests, analog services...it's all there. And yes, there are a few other cool things like multi-exposure, and a realistic lens/film (aka filters) collection that really sets the standard for mobile apps striking a balance between the digital reality and analog coolness. ...*BUT* after six years of using that app, loving it, then hating it, then loving and hating it again, I got sick of the non-stop investment in the app. And I *cannot* even tweak my photos after the fact. (Use Oggl if you insist). Bottom line: shoot now, tweak later. Cameramatic let's you do that, Hipstamatic does not. While Hipsta' can surprise you with some cool images, you'll be equally inundated with botched images with their lens/film combos. There are simply too many, and unless you know their qualities you'll be shooting blind with NO chance to fix the image later. Cameramatic is the best 1x1 toy/old/cool camera app. After this long, I know.
