Surely there are people who are fan of Rudy's work, and some who prefers an official app. I think comments who ask people to "get another phone" or "use 6tag it's better" is just.. redundant.
I do agree that we should all vote 1 star for the official Instagram app. It's been months without update, and people like me who have been on the WP ship since WP7 have waited a long time for them to deliver. It's ridiculous. We don't even get to upload video. Sure, 6tag has that capability, no offence but Rudy has been slacking too. Maybe I'm ignorant, maybe he requires specific APIs, but where are filters for videos? Why can I not upload video from my camera roll?
Both Instagram and 6tag are in need of update. Yes, 6tag is better, but it's not exactly a solution.
Rudy has been slacking off. He's spread thin. With all the apps he's been developing (some of which I'm not even sure they're needed on WP, like Tinder and Secret - specially Secret), support for the older ones like 6Tag or Fuse is leaving much to be desired. I like Rudy's work as much as the next guy, but he surely isn't perfect.
I've just been stamping my feet about this for the last few days.
It's utterly ridiculous and makes Windows Phone look like a joke.
The solution isn't "Download 6tag". No one buys a Windows Phone for the first time, and searches the store for "6tag". They type in "Instagram". They are greeted with a BETA app that is subpar in functionality and looks like the ugly step child of the "REAL" instagram.
It's insulting and I'd rather they hadn't produced an app for WP at all if this is how they plan to treat it.
F&*K you instagram!
Indeed. 6Tag, may be a better solution, but an official app is always appreciated and needed. WP doesn't have the luxury of acting all high and mighty screaming that 6Tag is better than Instagram simply because no one outside the WP community knows 6Tag. Hell, even in the WP community, the ones that know about 6Tag are a minority... Not everyone is on top of every app that's launched for WP, after all.
If I'm honest I don't even have IG installed, but I'm going to install it, rate it one star, and send feedback trough the app complaining at them. What they're doing is indeed shameful.
