Instagram is a rather simple application, but less is more in some cases. And even here less isn't the case, it's just a very specific form of more! For those of you not in the know, Instagram is an application that allows you to upload or take photos, edit them, and share them. Let's look at some of the finer details.

The editing tools are great. It includes a huge range of different tools, and a fair few filters and effects. It also allows you to upload your pictures publicly to have numerous people view them, tag them and comment on them. If you don't like the idea of uploading them for the whole world, then you can choose to just present them as a private profile, so that only people on your contact list can see them.

There are however a few annoyances. There's no option to zoom in on pictures, not even your own. And though it may not bother some, many people find that the automatic cropping of pictures is a large annoyance. There are also some glitches such as occasionally closing the program, but these tend to be rare. By all accounts it is a stable program.

The selection of effects and other things, though good, could use some improvement. Instagram is however simply convenient in every sense of the word. The editing process is simple and takes no time at all, the upload speeds are great, you usually get a very rapid response from the community, and it is simple and extremely fun application to play around with. And that's the most important thing after all. Though it doesn't make a good photo album per say since it doesn't save pictures, it is an excellent tool for lfunand social media.
