I like that in the app update description it says: "We have a new look! Our updated icon stays true to the camera and rainbow."
I'm intrigued by the monochrome motif (icons and such). Maybe their idea was that they wanted to let the photography shine and have the app fade into the background a bit?
I feel like it's gone a bit sterile tho.

The agency made a "how they did it" or "process" video.
I think the logo is cool, but the gradient is meh.
The new look of the app is bad, why did they copy apples shitty iTunes design? The black text / icons over white looks shitty.

I like the simplicity but it looks too generic. Its very 'me too'.
As for the app, it lacks contrast in the UI. By stripping it back all the colours it actually feels more cluttered.

Read this. Then slam your head into a wall. What a blatant attempt to ride the coat tails of a global brand's redesign by suggesting that they have ripped off a logo of a massively lesser known entity. Hilarious stuff.

I'm glad they are updating. Seeing the social icons on dozens of website footers - The instagram icon was always the ugly sister of social icons. It had too much going on. This is minimal yet recognizable.
