Futuregram - a new, futuristic Instagram client

[Ryan ODonnell]

Hi all, I am working on an Instagram client with direct messaging and the normal features that Instagram has.
It looks more futuristic than the iOS & Android versions of Instagram, but you can be the judge of that.

Full list of features in this app include:

• Unlimited photo and video uploads
• Instagram direct messaging
• Search users, hashtags and search using images stored on your phone
• Save images
• Regram
• Direct share to Facebook & Twitter
• Basic photo editor with four effects
• 512MB compatible
• Windows Phone 8.1 compatible
• Lock screen app (for Windows Phone 8.1 only)
• Cortana integration (for Windows Phone 8.1 only)
• Home feed

A beta will be coming soon and will be uploading screenshots shortly.
This isn't a competition against 6tag, but it is more featured than Instagram BETA!

Let me know what you think!
Looking for testers!

Here is a few more screenshots (the lock screen app is a concept!):

This is an example of the accent color change.
You will be able to further personalise your Futuregram experience by changing the accent color on your Windows Phone device.

What about Video upload support from your camera roll?

If using Windows Phone 8.1, yes it will support video upload from camera roll/SD card.
Won't be in first beta though!

I love Windows Phone! I've been with it since last year with a Huawei Ascend W1, then moved up to a Nokia Lumia 635! I've tried many Instagram apps such as 6tag, Instance and Instagram BETA, so thought I'd make my own!

Register your interest in the beta at Futuregram for Windows Phone

I registered for the beta. Would love to see more screenshots

The only thing that concerns me is the issue we had last year with third party instagram apps on windows phone and the hashtag situation when accounts got flagged.

I'm curious as to how this issue has been prevented with futuregram?

Thank you! I will do more screenshots as I progress with the app development!

Regarding your question about the accounts getting flagged, this shouldn't happen!
I'm testing on my own acccount at the moment and I haven't been flagged yet, but will have to wait and see if I do, I'll give them a week.

I'm curious about notifications. I love 6tag but the notifications were terrible and never worked. So I've been using the official beta just to get the push notifications. Can you give us any idea about that? Btw already signed up for the beta

Thank you!
As for notifications, I have not yet implemented this into the software, I aim to have this done by beta 2 of the app, instant notifications for all! :wink:
