I highly enjoy it and think it is one of the better social media apps. Pros I like the ability to post both video and photos , use personal or business, abilities with paid ads and integration to to use links to outside apps for products, websites, or item features Cons The regulation of number of pages, you are allowed to like per timeframe when starting a new business page that you’re trying to attract attention to and it limits the number of follows you can click per day makes it a bit difficult to grow your audience organically Review Source KB Kori B. Hairstylist, Business owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful Business Building Asset" December 15, 2024 5.0 Overall my experience with Instagram when it comes to my business is positive. I do believe there’s a learning curve but once you understand the aspects involved, it’s an incredibly powerful, useful software for business. Pros When you use the algorithm to its full extent, a lot of the work is done for you getting your name, brand and content out in the world. Without the algorithm, our reach would be much smaller and harder. Cons Sometimes it can be hard to understand how best to get your content out. For instance, using popular music is good but it also makes it so your content is competing against others using the same music. Review Source MB Manpreet B. Council Liaision Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best social media app " September 7, 2025 4.0 Pros A powerful social media tool that gives you access to information, tricks, tips, as well as a way of connection to family/friends and influencers. Cons Becomes a rabbit hole for information. Ultimately its up to the user to control their usage of the application but it certainly becomes something that can be addictive. Review Source Ednilson S. Dono Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fã, muito fã." February 5, 2025 5.0 Muito prático, democrático, e inovador. Possuí ótimas ferramentas. Pros Gosto muito já postei muito, sigo muita gente, de todos lugares do mundo, pena que o limite da conta é 7500. Mas mesmo assim hoje é meu único app de fotos. Cons Estamos com problema com o Reels, está travando, sendo necessário fechar e abrir o app Review Source Bryan J. Democratic Presidential Candidate Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Instagram Reviews" January 14, 2026 5.0 Instagram receives positive reviews from me and my co-workers for its ease of use and its visual appearance. Pros I loved the fact that you can upload your photos really fast and other friends of yours is able to see them as well. Cons The main reason why I didn't like Instagram that much was the fact that is had so much spam on it , I could not tell if some profiles were real or not. Review Source Iman G. Student Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Addicting Social Media App" February 8, 2025 5.0 Overall, this is one of the best social media apps out there to stay connected with your friends and maintain memories. You can even follow celebrities to keep and update on their day-to-day life. And there's a ton of content to engage into, helping you pass your time. Pros The best feature would be ability to share your photos and videos with all your friends or publicly, and the photos remain permanently posted on your profile creating ever-lasting memories. Cons One thing that bugs me out is ability to get blue tick (which tells if an account is official one or not) just by paying monthly charges. It is easier to scam people this way especially those who are naive. Review Source OG Olivia G. Student E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great entertainment " July 18, 2025 5.0 overall i have enjoyed using instagram as a platform to share entertainment with others and to create new ideas Pros this is a great program for people to connect from all over the world. it allows for so many different styles of editing and entertainment Cons Instagram use to not run ads in the middle of your feed so I would say that’s one of the only downsides Review Source JK James K. Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Content Posting Platform" October 1, 2025 5.0 Pros Great social media management platform, not just for organic content posting but also for analytics insights Cons A stronger planning tool would make the platform far stronger in terms of capabilities and opportunities Review Source IK Iván K. IT Admin Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the bests social networks" April 14, 2025 4.0 Uso Instagram a diario y a mejorado bastante respecto a los últimos años en los que era frecuente recibir fallos de sincronización. Pros Es versátil y fácil de usar. Puedes publicar gran cantidad de contenido y las interacciones con el resto de los usuarios son mejores respecto al resto de redes sociales. Cons La calidad de las imágenes de las historias publicadas disminuye bastante. Tiene gran cantidad de apartados de ajustes y configuración derivado de la integración con META.

Luego de que pasara a META se hicieron muchísimos cambios y ya no se valora la buena foto. Pros La posibilidad de usarla con cuentas compartidas de meta, que te posibilita subir en un solo lugar y publicarlo en facebook e instagram a la vez. Tambien que se pueda programar el contenido. Y lo ultimo que te permite potenciar tus publicaciones etiquetando a varias cuentas, actualmente hasta 5, lo que potencia la llegada de tu publicación, si no lo ven en tu cuenta en alguna de las que etiquetaste como colaborador lo verá Cons Hay que pagar por la insignia para que tenga mas visualización tu contenido, ademas la calidad del video de reels no es buena si no tiene visualizaciones, o sea, a mas viral mas calidad de video.

Review Source JM Jessieah M. C.O.O. Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Instagram Review" May 21, 2025 5.0 Overall, 9/10 score. My number 1 top app i use above all others. Its been years since ive used the facebook app, beacuse previously how it was layed out and designed for users. In this case, I believe facebook needs more privacy and limitations for its use. Pros Easy to use interface. I like the setup of the app, both on the site and on the app. This is the perfect example on how to not make an app complicated to set up and use for users. Cons Over time, it has limited some of the search engine suggestions one can type in. I understand it was in an effort to protect the community and its' members, but it did make things harder to search up specifically. Review Source NZ Nina Z. Family bussines Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Favorite social media platform" May 10, 2025 5.0 This issue has also been resolved, and in the end, we can once again enjoy our favorite social network Pros I like Instagram because I can watch various types of engaging content, such as entertaining videos, fashion, cooking, and more Cons For a certain period of time, violent content was not being blocked, which caused discomfort for viewers Review Source yL yewon L. Student Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Instagram review" April 16, 2025 4.0 Instagram is amazing application for who wants to communicate with friends and love to watch various contents. Pros What I like most is that I can communicate with friends and also watch interesting contents such as reels at the same time. Cons 1\. Advertisement appears too often compare to the past. 2.I used to have lots of selfie filters but everything has gone.

Pros o melhor aplicativo de fotos, não superado por nenhum outro, seguro, pratico e intuitivo. ajuda o desenvolvimento de varios nucleos e negocios, como lojas online. Cons algumas atualizações trazem problemas de desempenho que são rapidamente corrigidos Review Source JM Jennifer M. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Instagram shines on selling, is dim on analytics " January 3, 2025 4.0 Overall, Instagram is a powerful visual platform with great opportunities for companies looking to target their customer base. Pros Instagram is good at displaying very effective ads to the specified demographic. The interface is simple enough and they've even made Reels incredibly easy and accessible to make. Cons The analytics and reporting options for business pages are terrible. There is no way to view a lot of the analytics beyond 90 days. You must use Meta Business Suite (still limited) or third-party tools (in most cases, multiple third-party tools). Alternatives considered [TikTok](https://www.capterra.com/p/237591/TikTok/) Reason for choosing Instagram Instagram is much simpler to join and get started with than TikTok. Review Source JW Jonathan W. Artistic Director and Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My most used social media platform" December 19, 2024 4.0 I was an early adopter of Instagram, having seen it evolve from an app for photography to the beat it is now. It's gone from a "nice to have" app to an essential app that is used to consume content and communicate with my friends. Overall, it is my favourite social media platform. Pros Instagram is my most used social media platform. It is my central app for news, photography and video. The algorithm has gotten to know me to the point where all content it recommends is relevant, from the latest music release to trailers for movies. It's my secondary source of communication with friends too. Cons Instagram can be very addictive, especially with its reels. I find myself needing to limit my usage, as time can pass very quickly! Another dislikeable thing is the amount of sponsored content, with wildly varying quality. Review Source FT Felipe T. Tecnico Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Personal and professional meeting network" July 2, 2025 5.0 I use it daily and I feel great quality and confidence in the application and the best ways to repair and search for people instantly. Pros A quick and easy app to find people and keep up to date with people you don't see in person every day. Cons The delay in returning to the customer with difficulty and who has difficulty, some resources constantly crash in posts, among other effects that should be limited. Review Source MD Maxence D. Community Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Un incontournable pour une entreprise" August 12, 2025 5.0 Pros Pour une entreprise, Instagram peut s'avérer être l'un des meilleurs canaux pour développer une audience engageante, contrairement à TikTok, le public est adulte et cela est un atout pour toucher des consommateurs avec du pouvoir d'achat. Cons Les rapports métriques sur les statistiques de performances sont un peu limités, pour les intégrer à Canva ou Later, ça coince parfois. Review Source DS Denisa S. Doctor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Instagram review" March 8, 2025 5.0 I enjoy the variety of tools for photo/video content. It's easy to connect with friends, brands and influencers. I like that it suggests relevant posts to me, based on what I've been following. Pros That it has visual storytelling, where people express themselves creatively through photos and videos, even reels, making it fun, fresh and interactive. Cons Lately, it has been invaded by advertising for OF pages, which is inappropriate. Review Source AK Aleks K.

Pros Das Beste an Instagram ist, dass man sehr schnell in Kontakt treten kann über die DM‘s und alles sehr einfach zu bedienen ist. Cons Mögliche Sicherheitslücken, ansonsten bin rundum zufrieden. Die Reels sind auch eine super Sache.

Pros instagram effects and filters while creating the reels are awesome, also they provide the options to save those effects for future reels. Cons It takes a lot of time to add the effects while creating the reels on low end mobile phones and sometime it gets hanged Switched from [TikTok](https://www.capterra.com/p/237591/TikTok/) Tiktok has been banned in india that why we shift on instagram.

Pros App loads really fast. It's really quick entertainment during a random bored moment. Video uploading is made very simply for content creators or even for the average everyday viewer Cons The direct messages feature with the disappearing messages option is absolutely horrible. Allows more than privacy. It allows for pure sneakiness. Especially as a parent. I'm not a fan of this feature whatsoever Review Source GM Gabriel M.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Instagram for content creators" February 18, 2025 4.0 Pros It's a great to share your content as a freelance digital artist. You can get exposure a lot and suddenly start getting orders if one of your posts go viral. The photo posting process is very easy. Cons With time this app has become very complicated for someone who has never used instagram, with lots of new features, for example the chatting options. The old instagram was better with more simplicity.
