The much awaited app for Windows Phone<\/i> is now out. Instagram app<\/i> has now made its way<\/b> to Windows Phone 8<\/i> users. This is the first official app <\/i><\/b>of Instagram<\/i> for Windows Phone<\/i>. Previously, users were using unofficial Instagram apps<\/b> to enjoy photo-sharing service. The official Instagram app<\/i> has already been part of Android for years however it now reaches Windows Phone<\/i> too. It seems Microsoft kept pressurizing Instagram<\/b> to release the app for their mobile platform i.e. Windows Phone.<\/p>\n

About a month ago, Nokia<\/i> revealed the arrival of Instagram app along with some other apps<\/a> at Nokia Event. The new official Instagram app<\/i> for Windows Phone<\/i> seems to have both positive and negative aspects.<\/p>\n

Coming to the features of the new app<\/b>, the app comes with all photo editing tools including filters. There is a slight alteration in the user interface of Instagram<\/i> for Windows Phone<\/i> as they have shifted \u2018Refresh\u2019 button to top while bringing tabs i.e. Home, Discover and Notifications to the top. The app is relatively fast, flat and smooth<\/p>\n

Now head towards some missing features<\/b>, Instagram app<\/i> for Windows Phone<\/i> lack video recording support. So you can\u2019t enjoy Instagram latest 15 second video recording feature<\/b>. You can\u2019t even take your photos directly from the app. Yet there is a link, but it links you to Camera app<\/i>. After taking snap via Camera app<\/i>, you need to upload it to Instagram app<\/em> to add filters.<\/p>\n

\"instagram-app-windows-phone-8\"

Overall, we can say the new app a \u2018complete\u2019 app. It seems that the developers have given it some hard work. We can expect the missing features to reach in next versions as said by Instagram<\/i> spokesman:<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re not finished, and our team will continue developing the Windows Phone app to keep releasing features\u00a0<\/i>and bringing you the best Instagram possible.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

The app is absolutely free. Download it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what your opinion regarding the app? I will call it \u2018another great addition\u2019 to Windows Phone. Do share your valuable thoughts with us.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
