TinType by Hipstamatic 앱 리뷰

I really love this app and have used it for years, but it hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and will not open raw photos, they just crash the app. And it could always have used some additional features or at least the ability to tweak the images. Lots to love, but it seems like an orphan now.

As another member asked, it would be nice if we could decide where the focus point is.

I love the antique, film plate, TinType look of these. Although you can use them on any subject, portraits look the best.

Wish it saved in RAW instead of just jpg.

I like the app a lot but would very much like to determine where the center point for focus is, instead of it always being dead-center in the frame so that I don’t have to increase the focus diameter to near 0.

Without any guidance, this app is easy to use. You either like the look or you don’t. I love the ability to render a photo surreal.

The best feature to improve this app would be to adding the ability to adjust the focus point with touch. This added control would make this app so much better. Without focus point touch a majority of the photos are not focused on the primary subject. I would pay more for this feature. When the focus point falls correctly on the subject the results are special. Please consider upgrading this feature - "point-of-focus touch control".

Was a Hipstamatic user before the update some time ago. Missed it a lot. Bought back into the $40 yearly club/plan from Hipstamatic, it’s harder to use now. Decided to purchase TinType additionally for a series of portraits of friends and acquaintances. It doesn’t work. Contacted support… nothing. Ready to contact Apple to file a formal complaint due to misrepresentation on the part of the Hipstamatic. Have sent a couple of emails try to get help with my problem. Does anyone know if they’ve gone out of business? Their phone number seems to have been disconnected. Recommendation… do not purchase. Will update if Hipstamatic does right by me which would indicate they would do right by you also.

This has been one of my favorite cameras for years. Now, photos are not processing and error messages are coming up. It’s frustrating to say the least. I hope you can fix it because I rely on your camera systems and filters for many of my photography work and conversions.

The app crashes on iPhone 13 Pro. Refund needed.

How in the world do I turn off wide angle as the default? It’s incredibly annoying to have to go to selfie then to back to normal mode…otherwise I adore this app but it wasn’t like this before. I’m using the 14 and it’s up to date. Please please fix this. ✌🏽🙏🏽

10:40 PM Fri May 5 The operation couldn't be completed. (PHPhotosError-Domain error 3311.) Can i get my money back

Have used mostly the basic setting of black and white. It provides that old time look that makes certain photos look old...as in the 1880s when printing was on tin.

Incredible

It crashes upon launching the app on an iPhone 13 Pro.

The app still works okay, but there have been a lot of improvements to iPhone cameras in this time frame. Does this company update anything else it puts out other than Hipstamatic?

Although this app has never been trouble free in regard to crashing, I can’t even get it to open now. Deleting the app and downloading it over and over does not make any difference. Complete waste of money. I wish it would work, because the tin-type filter/effect is really cool.

I like the images this makes but as soon as I edit the properties it flips the image 90 degrees. iOS 15.2 iPhone 13 Mini.

This worked for a couple years now crushes if I open this app ? Moving on to better Apps

I would love to use this app but unfortunately on my 13 Max Pro, it won’t open. Immediate crash. Please fix so we can continue to enjoy the app!

Excellent, all aspects except….addictive

Like another reviewer, I would love to be able to choose photos from an album, or at least favorites.

Hard to believe that there is no fix after so much complain about the image flipping to horizontal when editing. The developer is impossible to reach and no solution is available. Shame!

Doesn’t even open anymore

Simply heart stopping, the best camera filter app I’ve ever bought!! Worth all 99¢!! 📷

I can’t seem to access my desk top photos. I only see the images I altered.

I love this app but it starting rotating the photos horizontally when I would edit earlier this year. Makes them harder to edit because they are smaller. Will you fix this? Also Add a flashlight instead of flash to it. It makes very cool effects otherwise.

Love the effects of the app...so awesome! I want to give it 5 stars but.... when I add a pic from my phone and the pic is vertical in phone, it is horizontal in tintype app ( for example, a portrait is sideways!). I see a crop option in app but there’s no way to Reposition pics...fix this please! Very frustrating!!

Absolutely love Tintype but it needs to be updated to accept the new RAW photo format that Apple has just introduced. I took a star off because of that but will give an enthusiastic five stars once it’s fixed.

My only complaint is that you can’t access folders when going to edit photos. Sometimes I would like to edit something older that takes far too much scrolling without folder options. It’s also been a bit buggy lately and started flipping my photos upside down and making them entirely blurry at first when I change options.

IPhone paradise in an app.

Easy to use and great look of old tin type photos!

This is my favorite photography app. There are just two things that I wish it did (and find frustrating that it doesn’t)... 1) Be able to select photos to edit from certain albums, such as Favorites, and most importantly 2) Be able to resize/recompose photos in the app. I hope you’ll consider adding the ability to do these two things in the next update and make this app even more awesome. 🙏🏼

I love the look of the Tin Type film. I’ve had it on the regular Hipstamatic since it came out. The problem with this version, is it freezes up if you edit the picture and sometimes just when taking a picture. I have to reboot the phone to get it back, which is annoying. Hopefully there is a fix in the works.

This app is amazing, one of my favorites, in fact. I do have one request to the developers though. Is there any way you can make it so the app recognizes dog/cat/pet in general, eyes as well? I’m not a big fan of humans, so most of the photos I take are of my dog, and the cats that live in the house. I’m positive I’m not the only person who would love this feature. Pets are big business. Either way keep up the good work, you guys make great stuff!

I’d rather buy something from the 99¢ store!!!! What a waste....the stupid app doesn’t even focus on your face properly and my eyes make me look like a zombie! Save your $$$...not worth it!

Love the app and the incredible look you can give you photos you take. However, if you use the app on an existing photo in your library it doesn’t offer you a “save as” function thereby making it a “destructive” result, in that your existing photo is converted to a TinType. Your original is lost. Please fix this guys!

When it stopped working for me, I deleted then re-downloaded it. Works again and smiles all around! Recommended. Cheers!

I find it annoying that it often - and randomly - turns pics on edge when you’re trying to edit them.

Seems fine, but I can’t seem to pic what part of the photo is in focus, and whenever I try to edit a photo, it flips from vertical to horizontal, with no option to flip it back. Which is annoying and makes me want to ditch the app.

For a while, I took loads of amazing art portraits, but use the app a lot less now that an update made the color versions so washed out (with no slider to adjust vibrancy). I still use B&W and sepia occasionally, but I used to be able to get incredibly vibrant and crazy looking (in a good way) eyes in the right light, using the color option. Now all eyes just look washed out and grey. Kind of no point to the color option anymore, which is too bad.

Just purchased TinType on an iPhone Xr running iOS 13.3. The app won’t run after starting, and screen functionality is zero. Phone hardware is working fine. Disappointing. Now I have to waste time trying to get a refund.

Every time I try to edit a photo, it is turned on its side. Since the image is rescaled, it is hard to gauge changes. Fortunately, the image saves in portrait orientation, but editing remains a chore. You released this update over a year ago. Isn’t it time to fix this little bug so that people who paid you can use your app?

Love it

Incredible tintype app with superb results.

Don’t know what’s going on with your app right now. But every time I try to edit a pic, it gets turned 90°, and nothing will put it back to portrait orientation. I gave up after three tries. This has never happened before, and I’ve been using the app since you released it a few years ago.

Tried using it with iPhone Pro Max with no avail. I hope there will be an update soon!

This app is as inaccurate as it is limiting. No control over the focus with depth of field, texture is tied to color, eye detection is hit or miss, no contrast or exposure control for different styles. Please include basic editing tools in an update. You’d be better off finding a texture online and going diy. I had to edit my images before and after using this app.

Awesome
