It’s a big improvement, but I’m still not using it unless it saves each photo to camera roll as it’s shot. Ridiculous.

Steve, I think you are missing the point of this app. The idea (and it’s thoroughly explained in its description) is to bring back the feeling if shooting with film where you had 36 exposures to make before seeing what you shot. It’s meant to make you take your time with photography and not be just another filter app. So the next time you open up Streetmate go into it with the intention to carefully compose each shot and not just snap away. Imagine you are shooting with a well crafted handmade German Leica and try to steal moments of time worth keeping and sharing. Should you want to simply snap away aimlessly just use the built in camera app that comes with the phone…it does a fantastic job of saving each shot quickly to the camera roll for instant gratification.
