One of the things that got some people going for iOS devices are the apps and one of the apps that people are flocking to is Instagram. After a long wait, Android users no need to envy further as the beloved photo sharing app is now available in the Google Play Store.
If you’ve been living under a rock, Instagram is a photo sharing app that lets you capture images, apply cool effects then share it with other Instagram users. You can also view images uploaded by your followed friends, giving you a chance to like it or post a comment.
It was rumored that the Android version will be better than its iOS counterpart so I did a quick comparison.
Turns out, the Android version is missing a feature that its iOS brother has and that is the selective focus tool. With the filters, I managed to spot a difference and that is the X-Pro. Android has “X-Pro†while the iOS version has “X-Pro II.â€
The Instagram app for Android has been made available on April 3, 2012 and at the time of writing, already been rated by 8,000 users.
It’s in version 1.0.0 and requires Android version 2.2 and up. Searching the word “Instagram†on the Play Store won’t quickly show you the app so to make it easier you can download it through this Play Store link.
Note: Android phone used is the Sony Xperia S.
grabe. it’s always entertaining to watch online bullying on techsites such as this. haha. keep up the trolls, people.

Thank you Yuga :)
haha very funny thread. Classic bashing! grabe para instagram lang!
Hi cnet. I know that the highest form of flattery is imitation but all i can say is keep it cool, i guess.
Derek, bakit kami aasa eh nagagamit naman talaga namin sa android SMARTphone namin. Di katulad ng iphone, DUMBphone.
Jillian, good luck on finding a REAL SMARTphone.
Ayaw ito sa HTC Wildfire ko while yung similar spec na iPhone 3G ko pwede naman siya. Geez. Probably my last Android phone purchase.
Asa pa kayo na magamit ito and Temple Run sa mga chipipay na Android.
darn, not compatible with my samsung galaxy y. hope they include my phone model to the list of devices.
hi PJ… im really not sure why you’re trying to run it with galaxy y.. that doesn’t represent the android community.. the display is cramped and small!
@gel
nice
Ni-wala ngang DotA app ang bulok na appstore nila. Im sure gets ng mga android users yun kasi top FREE ang app na iyon. Hindi OVERPRICED na kahit wallpaper lang ay may $3 na katulad ng sa apple store.
Btw search me on instagram: Quench360
Do you even think of the developer of the DotA App for Android remember that Apple has Rules and Regulations before releasing an app but for android its just “Pass and Go” They will only shutdown the app if they receive numerous complaints about the app that its stealing your Personal Info already and its a Virus. I Download Stuff for My iDevices and Androids only trusted developers and check ratings
Really? Okay
PS: Wala po siyang virus kaya nga siya naging top application.
@arkin
ahahaha
@ios iDiot
Okay
this is why I sold my iphone and got an android.. i felt that apple is on a downfall na.. remember when Steve was fired by apple? they didnt know what to do and almost got bankrupt.. the wheel is turning and right now apple is almost on the bottom. after steve passed away they released iphone 4s and the new ipad.. and nothing groundbreaking. the new ipad is thicker??? the iphone 4s is almost the same as the old iphone 4.. lets face it apple need steve jobs. that is why these apps that were used to be iphone exclusives are venturing to the android territory because they know that they cant just survive with apple’s app store alone.
im glad i switch last september pa… glad that i left the apple ecosystem. android is much better and more self sufficient and can thrive to abrupt changes.
Yup, its going pre-extinct.
It is already, actually.
Can you tell me that apple is at downfall if you check out the stocks of apple its actually increasing after the news of STEVE JOBS and FYI They have not stopped innovating and saying that “they cant just survive at apple’s app store” WRONG!!! Think Android is spreading out their APK’s ( Android Developer Kits) and updated it with a more unviersal coding….and WTF!!!! ” apple is almost at the bottom” not only did increase in the top 10 but their stocks increased when steve jobs died and not only that apple has more money than the US MINT and not only that apple used its power to help the work force over in china,foxconn to increase salary and FYI the factory has nice facilities….CHECK YOUR DAMN research befor posting a comment and BTW I also have androids ranging from the 3 android operationg systems (ISC, HONEYCOMB, Gingerbread)

Ahaha. Feel na feel nung 13 year old ang pagiging cyber siga.
PS: dapat ka ba included sa topic na ito? kasi based sa post mo, “umaangas” ka lang. Baka naman nakikigamit ka lang ng iphone tapos ipinagyayabang mo pa. Hanggang trashtalk ka lang. Alam mo kung pwede lang makipag-suntukan sa internet, hindi mo ko tatawaging “feeling” siga. HANGGAN trashtalk ka LANG.
lol, nag-iba ka pa ng username. Obvious naman.
I’m here. Hindi ka mahilig mag double-post ah?

Kawawang ANDROID. Ang mga APPS, pinagsawaan na ng iOS users. 2nd class cellphone users. This will be the trend in the next years.
BTW, may ANDROID na pala CHERRY MOBILE. Ang cheap.

@PHsmash
Hindi po siya naka-iphone kasi iOS Lover lang name niya meaning cheap ipod touch lang ang meron siya. Social climber.
ulol mga apple users. haha. mga social climber. pabilisan na lang ng processor. HTC evo 4g at Samsung galaxy s II ko laban sa walang kwentang iphone 4s nyo. iphone bawal i-overclock, which means hanggang 1 GHz lang max nyo. ulol! haha. sa android hanggang 1.8 GHz. Dual core pa. ano binatbat ng iOS 5 mo dyan? bagal bagal. 1 GHz lang? tapon mo na iphone mo. di nga supported ng iphone yung ibang mga intense 3d games e. tapos hanggang 32gb lang ang memory? Ulol! haha. tapos isang bagsak lang sa sahig basag na. tanginang iphone yan. hahaha. e yung HTC evo 4g ko kahit ilang beses ng nalalaglag ni walang galos e. hehe. feeling mayaman ka lang e. tapon mo na walang kwenta mong iphone. iphone para sa mga social climber at mga feeling mayaman..
@gel are you stupid? Yes you might not be able to overclock an iPhone but your android phone and overclocking it is more stupid not only do you risk your android frying from over heating but your also risking battery cycles and lifespan of the battery. And dont even say that iPhone users are social climbers because not all are. Thats a stereotypical thinking of iOS users dont you think that we use apple because its safer to use or easier to use other than an ICS or Gingerbread or Honeycomb and dont you think that apple has well polished interface and apps because its regulated? Dont say im one minded either because i have androids as well ranging from the 3 OS ( ICS, Honeycomb, Gingerbread) and remember its not about the processor or the hardware its how your apps and os work with phone and i dont think that ANY KIND of APPLICATION will use all thats processing power. If i could say all that processing power can hang your application. REMEMBER YOU OVERCLOCKIT YOU OVER HEAT IT… It may be a smartphone but its not a computer There is no fan research your stuff before making stupid comments @gel
