Hipstamatic Oggl – Updated And Free Download For All – Battery Improvements
Oggl is now available to download from the App Store for all, when it was first released by the developers of Hipstamatic it was by invitation only. It’s an app with a social presence, allowing you to capture and create images and share throughout the community.
It has just had its first update and perhaps the most sought after improvement users wanted was a decrease in battery drain – with this update, that issue has gone – according to the developers at least, please give us your feedback.
In addition to the battery improvements, it is now possible to add an artist statement to your profile. There’s a tap-hold to focus setting allowing you to tap and hold anywhere in the frame to set the focus of your image. There’s Tap-Drag to Set Exposure – allowing you to tap and drag to separately set the exposure. There’s Double Tap to Love Photos in the Feeds – faster way to spread the love.
If you’re a Hipstamatic Classic lover you may be interested to know that there is an update in the works, you can expect bug fixes and the ability to share directly to Oggl and even some new gear.
