I bought this based on the Macstories review and it is great! Fills in a missing piece for me as I didn’t have a good way of checking Insta on my Mac. Well worth the $4.99!

Great client for Instagram!
good but is buggy and needs some changes
This is the first good insta app I’ve used on a mac. There were a few bugs signing in. Had to quite and relaunch the app at three different stages. Please add facebook connect for users who use facebook login. When a new photo shows up, you need to tap the banner that appears. You should be able to just scroll and have it show up; it took me a while to figure that out. In terms of the layout. We should be able make the feed viewer as large as the photo resolution allows. The only way to see a photo large is to click on it our click on the post. By default, each feed item should look like the way single items look when they are clicked: replace the feed with the layout of a clicked post. Some extras that would be nice. Hiding the dock icon and dark mode (at least in the nav drawer). Looking forward to future updates.
over marketing
over marketing , really simple features , not worthy the money .
Multiple Accounts
Buy this for the ability to manage multiple accounts. The interface is very nice and minimal as well.
A pleasantful experience
This app works well. It’s sexy, fast and functional. I’ve had no problems so far. There are some limitations due to the Instagram API, but it’s not the developer’s fault.
Too Expensive, Not worth it
i took me 10 tryies before my account log in. 5xx server error! then when you use search pictures it will give u only a certain number of pictures. not worth the price.
Good, could be better.
When you make the images bigger the image quality is not great, which I guess is expected seeing as though Instagram maxes out at 1080. Videos choose when they want to play, its not very consistent and the video player controls look terrible. When scrolling the timeline its a little choppy. Its a pretty decent app but I think the price should be more around the $2-$3 range. The features of it are great, just need to be a little more polished.
