Endless $$ and bugs-Calling it quits after 3 yrs – Oggl Review

As a fan of the old version of Hipstamatic, I was excited when this app first came out. However, it has had so many bugs over a period of 3 years that I my frustration tolerance level has reached its limit. The bugs don't get fixed within a reasonable amount of time. I have paid for the both membership on this app AND every single Hipstamatic pack multiple times. Theoretically, users are supposed to be able to import their films and lens from Hipstamatic into Oggl but that feature no longer works at all. In fact, almost every time a new film and lens is introduced, it has always had issues importing so I pay for the Oggl membership (essentially paying twice) in order to use it. Additionally, the app has other many bugs--photos not being removed from display page (just a blank space is left, regardless of clearing caches,) and many of my favorite fellow photographers whose images I enjoyed seeing no longer use this app because of its numerous problems. Every time a new version comes out it seems like it's a beta version. The developers show little interest in presenting their long-term customers with a stable pre-tested product and support staff. There seems to be only one staff member available to answer questions for both Hipstamatic and this app (Allen B.). And while he does a good job, the amount of money that the two apps are charging people should afford committed users a bit more support. I would urge potential new clients to stay away--don't waste your time or money. After three years of numerous frustrations and being overcharged, I'm finally calling it quits. *Also, beware, one you've started posting photos there is no easy way that I'm aware of, to delete your account.
