Editors comments: It looks like the developers of Hipstamatic have started a new trend in skinned camera apps that add a touch of analogue to iPhoneography. First there was Hipstamatic, then we saw a tripple helping from developer misskiwi with ClassicPAN, ClassicSAMP and ClassicTOY, and now we have Andigraf from developer Woochul Jung. All these apps have something unique to offer the iPhoneographer, and Andigraf is no exception with its multi lenses toy camera effects, but the key thing with all these apps is the raw image has the effects applied, and so there is no second chances, so if you get the lens and film combination wrong, then the moment will be gone forever.
This app just like the others in this new category is very easy to use, and as my screen-cast below shows, after you launch the app you are presented with the rear of the camera with its viewfinder. Tap the camera icon in the bottom right-hand corner and you are taken to the front of the camera where the swipe of your finger allows you to switch lenses and/or change film types. When done, tapping the camera icon again takes you back to the back of the camera, where you can adjust the time delay between each shot before touching the large shutter button to snap away. When your photo has been taken, developed and saved, you can tap the photos icon in the bottom left to reveal and view the photo with lens/film data.
Whilst I like the concept of this app, I found the film effects and general results a little disappointing, but the most annoying thing was that after every shot the app crashed.
Despite some of the shortcomings of this app, it has potential, and as such I am awarding it 3 stars.

mine doesn't crash at all 3gs - been playing with app lots over the last few days.
@kate, maybe it's just on the 2G and 3G that the app crashes, or maybe just my iPhone's.
I can see Hipstamatic implementing some similar lenses.
layout looks a bit clunky, but I like the idea of the multiple lenses. Like xwhiteboy777x, I can see Hipstamatic coming out with something like this in the future.
Took me a few minutes to figure it out, but I already love it. Today I will test it out and see what it can do. I have not noticed a crash just shooting around the house.
nice looking app. going to have to check it out.
This looks like a good alternative to QuadCam since it supports full resolution!
I downloaded it. I have not had any issues with it crashing. I do wish that it would have a flash or something indicating which photo it is on or that it has taken a picture. Sort of like what molo does. I am sort of impressed so far. I ironically don't have the same complaint I do with Hipstamatic. I don't have a strong feeling of wanting to be able to access my camera roll to apply the effect after the fact.
