Hipstamatic DSPO Review: filter options

DSPO comes with 4 filters and 5 moods, and you can add on another 5 filters and the ability to draw on pictures (not yet tested) for 99¢.

Hipstamatic DSPO Review: initial thoughts & general usage

Hipstamatic DSPO? What’s that? In short, it’s a new sharable, mock-disposable camera from Hipstamatic. In this multi-part review, I first start and shoot a Camera, in screenshot form.

Snapseed vs…
