One of the first reviews:

There are a ton of Apple references in this app. It lacks a true Android experience. No ability to cancel during picture editing. No Google+ sharing option either. Meh

LOL it does seem iOSish.

Trying now!

Will give impressions afterwards. I haven't tried the iOS version

 

[Good Job Bob]

Seems less polished than the iOS app, also missing a few features such as canceling picture editing.

 

[jokkir]

Wait, what the appeal/point getting Instagram? I'm not entirely too sure what/why this is useful >__>

All I know is that many of my friends are using it and have some hipster Polaroid effect but is that it...? >__>

 

[Altazor]

finally Instagram for Android! I've already hipster-ized a couple of pics.

feels good man!

Yes. Mostly.

I find Pixlr-o-matic pretty neat and has tons of stupid filters, effects, and frames:

It's just a pretty app to play around in and share pictures with peeps.

I've seen some pretty awesome pics on Instagram, and a lot of dumb ones.

It's kind of a guilty pleasure app.

Instagram seems fine. Honestly, the pictures aren't great. That's obvious. What works with it is that it's more of a social network and keeping friends involved with your life based on the pictures, I guess. Let's see if I actually use it in a week.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

They should have stuck with the default ICS style.

so, what... are you telling me I'm not a pro photographer by using instagram? And I thought applying them filters was all I needed

 

[andycapps]

Haha right... The main point of it seems to be the social aspect, and with it being so pervasive, that makes it better than anything else out there in that aspect. Best camera app in my opinion is still Camera Zoom FX.

Can't you take a pic with Camera Zoom FX and then share the result with Instagram for filters and the social network?

How integrated with Android is the Instagram anyway? Does it ask that it be made the default camera app?

 

[skybaby]

Hilarious how most people tweeting about instagram are angry iphone owners. wtf

It integrates to the Share menu so you can send any pic from any program to instagram. Just tried with a pic I had around. Take into account it forces you to crop it to a square selection.

butthurt iPhone owners are butthurt.

The best part about it is... it's just a goddamned app. It's not the end of the world.

From this one, single screenshot you can tell they just tried to graft an iOS experience onto Android, which is the complete opposite of what Google's been trying to do since ICS launched. Just bad.

 

[SimleuqiR]

This is probably why:

the app offers an experience nearly identical to the iOS version, though the ability to capture and manipulate images on a larger device brought a unique twist to the wildly popular image manipulation experience.

 

[Zombie James]

@thatdivaa If you don't have an apple device don't follow my instagram .

@RayisSoul: Android users dont deserve instagram....ya i said it

Haha, this is getting quite funny.

Funny stuff. The reaction is like that of a fancy country club suddenly being open to the general public.

 

[JohnTinker]

Every time I try to upload a screenshot it says my picture is too small. Running a Vibrant on ICS

 

[JCX]

I eagerly await the iPhone instagram snobbery tumblr.

 

[Rikkun]

App not compatible with my LG-GW620. okbye.

It's typical. The other recently hyped app to show up on Android wasn't much better either :/ . I've given upon on the looks but I at least expect developers to not gimp their apps simply to make it exactly like the iOS version. Android provides features like the share button, default app, local file access that should be used even though the iPhone can't match that. Unfortunately the Android version doesn't even have feature parity with the iOS version.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Droid users having instagram now, is like when you living in a gated apt & da gate stops working...hahaha  let da #rachetness commence

ugh so mad that Instagram is now available to droids! ewwwww.

Instagram for android smh. Almost as bad as tweeting via ( prepaid wireless ) smh 10cents a tweet lol

Im lost, what is Instagram ?????

ayo fuck android, users talk down on the iphone but look how long it takes to get apps. 6 months and they barely getting instagram. lmao >.<

The gate has opened. Instagram for Android was unleashed today. It was fun while it lasted #Iphone users. lol

Droid got instagram? Ah shit instagram bout to get real basic now

.

 

[Dead Prince]

sogood.

 

[Divvy]

So many bitter tears over such a meh app.

 

[SimleuqiR]

sogood.

Girls = iPhone users

Guy= Cheap "Droid" user.

 

[lunarworks]

Honestly, the only thing that bugs me about Instagram being on Android isn't the idea of it being on Android, it's that there's gonna be 3x more people overusing it now.

Ugh. Shit's gonna be everywhere.

(I use Instragram, but sparingly, on appropriate photos, and mostly for my own enjoyment.)

 

[JCX]

The reactions are golden.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

It's says that for me too :/

 

[jayb]

wow, Pixlr-o-matic kills Instagram in terms of the number of filters and customization options. Other than the social part of Instagram, it's not even close to Pixlr. With all the iHype for Instagram, I expected it to be much better.

Sticking with Pixlr for my hipster photo needs.

Pixlr does kill it. I have heard of Instagram before but I did not realize it was relatively basic or that it was such a big deal.

Is Pixlr not on Iphone? There are quite a few Android apps that do the same and have been around for a while.

 

[Cipherr]

Holy hell I was thinking of that EXACT article when I saw instagram for Android. Very clearly just trying to emulate an iOS look on a different platform. The exact thing that article directed at developers was created to stop.

I've got both on my iPhone. Pixlr is handy sometimes because it can do full-frame photos, rather than the square photos Instagram does.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Downloaded instagram
Opened app, presented with a Sign-Up option
Uninstalled


Fuck that. I'll use pixlr-o-matic to spam my twitter feed with vignette shots of flowers and cats and a child in the park with a kite that symbolises innocence and lost youth and all that bollocks.

 

[sooperkool]

Outrage over app availability is just stupid.

 

[SimleuqiR]

Outrage over app availability is just stupid.

It's only ok when said app is NOT available on your platform of choice.

 

[Bollocks]

LOL
I would be outraged too if I had an iPhone. With instagram I could pretend and fulfill my dream to be all artsy and feel special, now everyone can be as artsy as me and I'm not special anymore.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

This is ridiculous, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

 

[JCX]

Haha, #teamandroid is trending.

 

[Zombie James]

Same with me with my profile picture. It's either too small or it crashes. It doesn't seem like sharing works, either.

 

[malingenie]

Can't you take a pic with Camera Zoom FX and then share the result with Instagram for filters and the social network?

When taking a pic it will ask which camera app :Zoom FX or Native. (Mine crashed when I used Zoom FX tho)

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

So it's just like consoles except it's just one side that's bitching.
