Instagram 0.4.2
Windows Phone users can enjoy this app onto their devices and follow its development as it will bring more features to complement the existing screenshot sharing abilities of the utility.
Enjoy a friendly interface made to offer great ease of use
The simple and practical layout of Instagram looks pretty well, but it could do with some customization options to allow users to give it the aspect they desire. Nonetheless, the navigation is smooth and refreshing the list of posts in the "Explore"area works without a glitch.
The app offers a generous preview when editing an image captured with the camera or selected from those already stored onto the phone. This means that users can view in real-time how the modifications they make will actually look onto the pic.
Take pictures and modify images on the fly before sharing them
At this stage of development, Instagram for Windows Phone offers only photo capture and sharing capabilities, while the video settings are implemented but not functional at this time.
Nonetheless, there are numerous filters, frames and effects to play with, so creating an original image is a fun job. Also, with the help of this tool you will be able to share the pictures you publish on your Instagram account with Facebok, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr and other services.
Editing your personal account, viewing post from other users, adding comments and liking their uploads are also possible with this app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The clean appearance of Instagram gains some points as it keeps things simple and yet very well organized, so that users can have a good time using this tool, even if they can do little to change its looks to make it more to their liking. |
Function6
The app does well with its main purpose, namely that of allowing anyone to capture snapshots, edit and share them. The video abilities still await to be activated, while the direct messaging feature is nowhere in sight, so these deficiencies take some points off the score sheet. |
Security7
Access to user information is required and the location services have to be active. Peeking into the stored contacts and phone identity, as well as in music and photo libraries is something Instagram will also do after it is installed onto the handset. |
Battery8
The app uses moderately the system resources and thus the impact on the power consumption is also average. It will drain the battery faster if lots of photo editing and uploading are carried out on a regular basis. |
Price9
All the features of Instagram are provided free of cost, so apart from a prompt to rate the app which can be discarded for good from the first appearance, there is nothing to diminish the value of this app. |
Compatibility8
Just like many other applications, the requirements to have this one up and running are standard, nothing special in sight, so owners of devices powered by Windows Phone 8 and above should get along well with this utility. |
