Hipstamatic: Memory Pig

[Hughm]

I uninstalled this nice little app this morning to take a break from it, and when I did, my app memory dropped by 750mB!

Is this app storing deleted pictures? And if so, what can be done?

Thanks

I know, it's ridiculous, I made a thread but not much can be done unless if you're jailbroken and access the file system to delete the pictures that were supposed to be deleted, I have now idea this has been going on and no one has said anything and it's obviously not a bug because it's kept pictures from almost a year ago. I just stopped using the app all together as a bunch of cool effects on pics aren't as important as privacy/storage space.

Dang! I'll keep an eye on my memory usage. I really like the app, but it would be really annoying if it ate up all my storage space.

I wonder if the app keeps that big pile of picture data after its been uninstalled, or is by doing an un-reinstall, one can start afresh. Maybe I'll try soon, but right now I don't want anything to do with it.

Hipstamatic is a strange app in a lot of subtle ways. I can deal with that. But the memory thing is fatal, IMO.

you could try their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/hipstamatic and tell them.... they seem to respond to people on there.

Okay. So I re-installed the app, and it did not bring back all that data with it. Problem is, it didn't bring back my various pak purchases, either. So I had to create a new (the same) user account and restore my previous purchases.

This is such bush league programming! The app may be neat, but it was written as though the developers were recent app-as-a-second-language graduates.

you have to restore purchases from the store under downloads each time you reinstall the app from fresh a lot of apps do this

Kind of difficult to take you seriously when you make such uneducated complaints.
