Hipstamatic 250: Sharing has never been sexier.

You’re already snapping gorgeous pics, so why not spread the love? Hipstamatic 250 makes sharing sleek, sexy, and easy (in a good way). 

We’ve streamlined sharing, so you can upload photos to multiple networks at once: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, Family Album, and Instagram. The fine folks at Fast Company noted: “Now, when users snap a pic on Hipstamatic, they’ll have the option to push the photo to Instagram, just as one might push a Foursquare check-in to Twitter. Users can auto-tag the photo with the particular lens, film, and flash used, and add a comment—all from Hipstamatic.”

Flip through HipstaPrints with new-found ease: zoom in and out, swipe from side-to-side. It’s like doing the finger hustle.

Keep track of those party photos: you can now tag Facebook friends within the Hipstamatic app, easy peasy. 

View each photo’s history. Double tap the photo to see more information, like the lens, flash, and film combo. If you scroll, it also shows you the history of that photo’s social shares.
