No Oggl for 512mb devices

[BrandonCormier]

I recently emailed Hipstamatic about bringing their Oggl app to 512mb devices and got this in response:

"Hey there Brandon,

Thanks for your note. We hear your request!

We?d love to be able to offer Oggl for those devices. However, due to processing requirements, Oggl requires the larger amount of RAM. Sorry about that.

Cheers,
Allan

Dear Hipstamatic,

I would like to please ask you to consider adding support for Windows Phone 8 devices with 512mb of ram. I for one would love to start using your app, but am unable to download it on my Lumia 521 due to the lack of ram. I am sure I speak for many others when I say that the app would be a very welcome edition to devices like the 520, 521, 720, and 620.

Please consider it,

Brandon"

I am guessing that is a definite no? Seems a shame since 512mb devices are popular in the windows phone world.

Given how slow the app seems to work on devices with 1-2GB ram, this might actually be a good thing because I can only imagine the complaints they'd have for devices like the 520/521.

Do you want the app for the Camera aspect(it really isn't worth it imo) or the direct upload to instagram?

This is the worst response I ever read. Oggl works in a 3GS, I tried it in a 3GS. Their team is weak.

do a lot of people use it though? i donnt care for it really. plus when it launched it was really bad, although its been updated several times since

I personally gave up on the app because it was pretty bad. I know that the performance has gotten better but I think paying a yearly subscription to get more filters is ridiculous. Also I couldn't 'be in the moment' when mucking with the filters. I just use Avery Photo Editor and I'm a lot happier.

I dislike the app simply because you can't import pics from your library

Apart from not being able to import pictures from the library, I quite like it.

When I got back into WP last month, I did so on a 520 and wanted Oggl like dammit because of the official Instagram support. The inability to run Oggl on the 520 was one of the main reasons I ditched it and got a 920. Then I found out that apps like Instance (and, now, 6tag) exist so I dumped Oggl. Heh.

I actually want it for the whole filter / community aspect. I see it as the closest thing Windows Phone has to VSCO Cam (not filter wise but community wise).

Update: The app was updated today to support 512mb devices.
