As reported earlier, Hipstamatic went on stage with Nokia at the Lumia 925 launch event and announced that they are bringing their currently iPhone exclusive Hipstamatic Oggl app to Windows Phone 8 devices from Nokia. Popular for its filters and the funky UI, the app remains the only official solution to post directly to instagram. But Hipstamatic does have its own community too and that?s called Oggl. The free Oggl app includes five pre-set lenses and films, and the ability to edit and share photos to Oggl, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The app is now available on the Windows Phone Store and you can get it here.

The Oggl PRO on the other hand is an exclusive app especially tailored for the Lumia 1020?s awesome camera. It has manual exposure, white balance, ISO and shutter speed, and 3x lossless zoom, which is currently usable only in Nokia?s own Pro camera app. This app is exclusive to the Lumia 1020 and is not available for other devices, we presume.

However, as with any high profile free app these days, there are in-app purchases, but in a subscription model. You can either pay 2.99$ quarterly or 9.99$ yearly to get new lenses and gear every month, and also makes the community experience ad-free. We tried out the Oggl app on our WP8 Lumia, and were impressed with its functions but not its cluttered UI that, in no way, is as usable as its meant to be. We also faced some upload issues, but the developers noted it was due to high traffic so hopefully these issues are fixed soon, as the hopes of getting an official Instagram client on Windows Phone seems bleaker as the days go by. Also, it is important to note that this app allows just sharing and that alone to your already active Instagram account.
