Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Many of you probably know about the Hipstamatic app - cult program among iPhoneographers, which turns your phone into a real film camera and allows you to "analog" pictures. Several years ago, it even seemed that Hipstamatic will be as popular as Instagram. But in fact, users prefer a more socially-oriented Instagram, where you can quickly and easily share photos and kommentariyamii. Not that Hipstamatic was not successful, just the time revealed that these applications are in different categories.
Time passed, and it seems, has decided to leave Hipstamatic on Instagram field and fight for a place under the sun of popular social photo editors. Recently, the application has been presented with the catchy name Oggl - to him will have to compete with Instagram. What came out of it and whether Oggl able to compete with Instagram? Let's find out.
It is worth noting that creating Oggl, developers have clearly analyzed the pros and cons of Instagram and progenitor Oggl - Hipstamatic. They tried to incorporate the best of these applications and get win-win mix of social networking and relatively functional program for photographing.
On the one hand, Oggl has all the attributes of a photographic social network - tape pictures, followers, comments. But the developers have gone even further - you can even see with the help of one or the other picture was taken a film and lens and instantly use this kit to make your own. This, in my opinion, very cool.
As for the recording process, it is also different from Instagram. Instead of filters here - lenses and film (note that the first available, not all of the film and lenses, most will have to buy for real money), combining that you can get interesting results. If any combination you like is particularly strong, you can quickly create a preset, which will be available in the bar shooting modes.
Yes, you heard right, it shooting modes - like all other "large camera." There are modes for portrait and landscape shots, the food (which is especially appreciated by lovers share photos of their meals in the network), night mode and "sunset."
In Oggl can connect accounts of popular social networks for automatic publication of pictures and easily share photos with friends.
All this is great, but if Oggl can really become a successful application and to compete with Instagram? This is a fairly complex issue. On the one hand, Oggl can achieve a variety of results, but Instagram things work much easier and Insta-users is satisfied with - difficult imagine how a girl to take a picture of yourself in the mirror, open Oggl and will choose a shooting mode, a suitable film and lens. Instagram, to some extent, all decided for the user - do not worry, we have a couple of dozens of filters for all occasions, just choose the one you like and all.
However, there may be Oggl was aimed at the group of users that Instagram seems too primitive, but they do not want to engage in the processing of functional images in photoappendices. Who knows, maybe these people are not so little. They, certainly, joined by longtime fans Hipstamatic.
Despite all the pluses and minuses, Oggl definitely deserves your attention. It has long been in the App Store does not appear such a potentially powerful application that puts on a par with Instagram. Will successful Oggl - time will tell, but it sure is worth a try.
