The First Oggl Update is Here!

Our first Oggl update just hit the App Store, and it features some pretty awesome additions:

Artist Statement: Your photos tell a beautiful story — now tell us even more by filling in artist statement and bio.

Tap-Hold to Focus: Tap and hold anywhere in the frame to set the focus for your shot.

Tap-Drag to Set Exposure: Tap and drag to separately set exposure, which controls how light or dark the photo turns out.
NOTE: You can set focus and exposure with just one finger!

Double Tap to Love Photos in the Feeds: Spread the love, even quicker — double tap photos in the various feeds to show'em some love.

Battery Improvements: We heard from many of you that battery drain was an issue, but worry no more —that issue is long gone with this update.

Adios, Invite System: Invitations are no longer required to download Oggl. Be sure to tell your friends and favorite photographers to download the app for free in the App Store, and to join you while you’re capturing and curating the best moments of your life.

Last and certainly not least, Hipstamatic Classic lovers: A Hipstamatic Classic update is in the way, so be on the lookout for that over the next couple of weeks. You can expect bug fixes, the ability to share directly to Oggl, and even some new gear.

As always, thanks for being the most rad community ever. See you on Oggl.
