I’ve noticed something that concerns me about HipstaX. If you’ve used it, you’re familiar with the seven different daily photo stamps.
Every once in a while, they will have a special stamp. Not just holidays like Christmas, New Year’s or MLK Day, but whimsical days like Taco Day and Houseplant Appreciation Day.
These are all the special daily photo stamps I’ve seen. Five in October, three in November, two in December, four in January, and one in February. It’s been almost four months since the last one.
Every day I hoped there would be another special daily stamp. It was an added incentive to take a daily photo. I don’t know if the art was done by in-house staff or out-sourced, but I loved the look. Considering how long it’s been, we can assume there won’t be any more.
More and more I’m getting the feeling X has performed below expectations and it will get the Oggl/D-Series treatment and be abandoned. Of course releasing a new photo app ten years after the Golden Age of photo apps and right at the height of the worst pandemic in one hundred years can’t have helped. Still, I had higher hopes for this.
