Hi there! Sorry to hear that Hipstamatic crashes when you try to manually set the shutter speed. Let’s work together to figure this out.

Can you tell me if this happens every time you try to adjust the shutter speed, or just occasionally? Also, do you notice if it crashes right after you move the shutter speed slider, or when you try to take a photo afterward?

Meanwhile, here are some steps we can try to get this sorted:

1. Restart the app: Close Hipstamatic completely by swiping it away from the app switcher and then reopen it to see if the problem persists.

2. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes a quick reboot can clear temporary glitches.

3. Update the app: Make sure you have the latest version of Hipstamatic installed, as updates often fix bugs related to crashes.

4. Check iOS compatibility: Your iOS 18.7 is quite recent, but some older app versions might have issues on new OS releases. Ensure Hipstamatic supports iOS 18.7 fully.

5. Reset Hipstamatic settings: If possible within the app, reset the app’s settings to default. There may be some conflict causing the crash when adjusting shutter speed.

If you’ve tried these and the crash still happens—especially when adjusting shutter speed—there may be a bug specifically with manual shutter control on your version. If so, I can help you report it to the developers for a fix, or suggest alternative ways to shoot manually for now.

Could you please share what version of Hipstamatic you’re using? Also, have you noticed if any other manual controls like ISO or focus cause crashes?

Looking forward to getting this fixed with you!

Thanks for sharing that the Hipstamatic app crashes specifically when you try to manually set the shutter speed on your iPhone running iOS 18.7. This helps narrow down the issue quite a bit.

From what’s known, there have been reports of Hipstamatic Classic and some versions of the app experiencing crashes related to manual controls like shutter speed or flash settings1. It seems this might be a bug triggered by the manual shutter speed adjustment feature on certain device and OS combinations.

Here’s what I recommend to try next:

1. Update the app: Make sure you have the very latest Hipstamatic version from the App Store. Developers often release fixes for such crashing bugs.

2. Update iOS if possible: Confirm you have the latest iOS 18.x update installed (like 18.7.1 or similar) because sometimes minor iOS patches improve app stability.

3. Clear app cache/data if available: Unfortunately iOS doesn’t offer a traditional cache clear, but you can try deleting and reinstalling Hipstamatic. Back up any important presets or images first since this will reset the app fully.

4. Try an alternate manual control: Check if changing other manual settings like ISO or focus leads to crashes. If yes, the issue might be broader, reinforcing that an app update is needed.

5. Use Pro Mode cautiously: Some users have noted better stability when using Hipstamatic’s “pro mode” (if available on your version) to manually control shutter speed, exposure, focus, and ISO4. Switching to Pro Mode before adjusting shutter speed might avoid the crash.

If these don’t help and the problem persists, the best option would be to report this crash to Hipstamatic’s support. They can log it as a bug and work on a fix. I can help guide you through that if you want.

Let me know if you’ve already tried reinstalling or if you want assistance submitting a bug report. Also, please tell me what Hipstamatic version you are running exactly. That way I can make suggestions tailored specifically to your setup.

Are you satisfied with the solution I provided so far?
