Description: InstaRepost is an Android app that does exactly what you think it does, it helps you repost your favorite photos on Instagram. It’s sort of like a more advanced version of just reposting a photo on Instagram and can help you repost a user’s photo or video without taking it from them and calling it your own. You can add cool features like stickers to your repost as well as the original poster’s username, both of which are nice touches that work well. More than that though, InstaRepost works great as an alternative client and you can browse through your likes, search for new photos and more, an especially nice feature for those using tablets.
How it Works: Just like the official Instagram app, you’ll need to download InstaRepost from the Play Store. However, you don’t need to have the original Instagram app installed at all to make use of this.
You’ll need to login with your Instagram nickname (your username, not your email address) before you can get started. You can however, still browse photos and download them without logging in.
Right after you’ve installed the app, you can go ahead and start using InstaRepost as you would any other Instagram app taking a look at your feed as you would with the proper Instagram app.
You can like something with InstaRepost like I have done with this cute picture of a Pug and you can also browse your likes and favorites with the app, too.
When reposting something with InstaRepost, you’ll see the user’s name in the bottom left as well as a watermark at the top-right.
You can also choose to repost videos as well, something that other similar apps don’t seem to feature.
As we covered earlier, InstaRepost is also a great alternative Instagram app, which means you can easily search for your favorite things as you would on the website or through the official app. Here I have searched for cat posts.
When you find something you like, you can also save it to your device’s internal storage, as well a share the image to Facebook or Twitter right from the app.
Opinion: In the day of Instagram and Vine, people really love to reshare things so that their social circles can enjoy the same photo or video that they enjoyed earlier. However, a lot of the time this is a simple resharing, but with InstaRepost, you can add stickers to your photo to make your little stamp on things and you can still leave the original username of the person who took the photo on there. Something that I think is a nice addition, as those who take photos should be remembered for their original work. InstaRepost also works brilliantly on tablets, giving users a way to browse their favorite posts on a larger display, something that otherwise wouldn’t be possible with the official app. It’s more than just an app to repost things as you can download these images to your device as well as browse your Instagram likes and more.
