Precisely 7 years ago, a small app appeared in the Apple Store and went on to radically transform digital photography. On December 9th 2009, Hipstamatic became one of the then 100.000 or so other applications. Today, there are 1,3 million of them!<\/h4>\n

When I visited the Hipstamatic<\/strong> offices in San Francisco, in 2013, I asked Lucas Buick<\/a><\/strong><\/span> if he remembered the beginnings of Hipstamatic<\/strong>: \"We put out the app in December 2009; the first day I think we sold 10 copies to our friends, but then the next day we sold 100, and the following day we sold 500, the day after that we sold 1000: all of a sudden we had all these people using it. We were the number 1 app in Japan within the first 36 hours, which was crazy, so I called all my designer friends and told them I was big in Japan!\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
