Our Favorite Companion Apps For Instagram on Android
The popular photo editing-sharing app, Instagram, made its way to Android smartphones last April. Though it did not have support for Android tablets, it was quickly downloaded by fAndroids, which irked a lot of iOS users. They were enraged that the iOS-exclusive app was being infiltrated by Android users and deemed that the newbies were polluting their photography haven.
Now that fAndroids’ presence on Instagram isn’t such a big deal, let’s look at some of the tools being utilized by Android users in making their mark permanent in the Instagram world.
