If you're an iPad users, you know that instagram doesn't gave tablet-optimized version. So I decided to find about an app that solve the problem that lets you browse Instagram.
Instagram restricts its API so
that no third-party app can be used to upload photos.
Today, I encountered Flow for Instagram , which is best app to use though it can upload pictures.
- a gorgeous design with little touches that makes it easy to use.
And aside from the obvious lack of uploading pictures ability, it has nearly all of the features you're looking for in an iPad Instagram app:
- the ability to like and comment on photos;
- search by user, hashtag, and location;
- swipe from one expanded photo to the next;
- share photos on Facebook and Twitter and save to your camera roll;
- explore users outside of
those I follow; and
- bookmark users, tags, and
locations you'll find interesting.
After launching Flow for the first time and signing into your Instagram account, your
feed is presented in a three-by-four grid of thumbnails.
A narrow menu bar runs along the left edge:
It's the best-looking design ever on any Instagram iPad app. You can swipe sideways to scroll through your feed, and the app smartly slows to a stop at the edge of a column of thumbnails so you are never with a static grid where you are staring at half of a photo on the sides of the
display.
Tap a photo to expand it: To the right, you'll see the poster's name and any comment made when it was posted along with the number of likes and any comments below.
You can double-tap the photo to like it just as you can on Instagram proper, and you can tap the small heart icon to like or unlike a photo. You can also add a comment, and
next to the comment box is a button that brings up your sharing options: Facebook,
Twitter, e-mail, and save to Camera Roll.
To view your own feed of photos, tap the profile button in the upper-left corner. In
the middle of the left-hand menu are buttons to view all the photos you've liked or
bookmarked. There is also an explore button (most-popular charts, brands, and tags) and
search button (tags, users, and places).
The settings button lets you turn on or off autoplay for Instagram videos and usernames in your feed.
If you have usernames turned off, you can bring them up by long-tapping any photo in the feed you are looking at.
Flow has a useful "peek" feature where you can tap a
username, profile photo, and hashtags to bring up a small minifeed window. The
minifeed window doesn't populate, however, for users that have their account set to
private.
