Favorite Apps for Instagram!

Hi guys, how are you doing, I hope you're having a wonderful day so far! I actually have been wanting to do this post for a while, but at the same time I felt like there were so many posts like this lying around on the internet, that mine wouldn't be interesting to you guys?

I decided to stop comparing my blog to everyone else's and decided that if this is what I wanted to share with you guys, that's exactly what I was going to do. Today I'm going to share with you my favorite apps for Instagram!

There are so many apps for Instagram, and I've tried enough of them to be able to share with you my favorites! Let's get into it

UNUM

This app is something I actually just started using for the past month or so, and while I've seen this app in the market for a while, I didn't know if it would come in handy or if I would actually use it? Well, lo and behold, I use it...a lot.

Unum is an Instagram feed planning app. This app allows you to pre-write your captions, auto-insert your hashtags (while keeping count that you don't go over the allowed 30), and you can see how you feed would look before you actually post. You can also do some minimal editing!

This app also gives you some pretty impressive analytics, such as what time you're getting the most likes, what hashtags are bringing in the most engagement, and what days of the week are your best!

Now this app has come in handy with me now that I'm trying to up my Instagram game, but if you don't care about how your overall theme looks or about building up your following, definitely pass on this app.

Long IG Stories

Have you ever wondered how some people had these recordings on their stories seamlessly flow from one part to the other? Well this is how you do it! It's an app that you can record on your phone, and the Long IG Stories app will chop up the video perfectly for you!

This is super handy if you like to have really talkative videos with the camera, and you just want to have it flow nicely. The only downside to this app, is that it will have a small watermark on the bottom of the video, and the way to get rid of it is to pay the $0.99. I'm telling you, if you talk a lot on your stories, the $0.99 are so worth it!

Unfold

Now, this is the app I'm probably most excited to share with you guys. Now this is a beautiful app to make your stories look AMAZING. Have you ever seen people with that ripped up story or those stories that have the perfect layouts for text and photos/videos? This is the app their probably using.

The app comes with one free pack, with these nice modern and clean looking layouts. If you want to get the ones with the rips, Polaroid photo sets, or any of the extra layouts in general, you do need to pay for them, but theyre $0.99 a pack. I think I have the original pack, and then paid for the one that makes it looked ripped? With those two sets, it makes my stories look so beautiful.

I really recommend this app, if you like collage looking stories, or like adding text to your stories!

Lightroom CC

Now this is probably one of the best photo editing apps for your phone at the moment. I have both Lightroom CC for my phone and then Lightroom for my computer. It's the perfect way if you're into in-depth editing. If you don't know what to do in the beginning, there is an AUTO button!

It also saves your photos on a cloud too!

Snapseed

This is the other app I use for editing. It's much simpler than Lightroom CC and it has lots of options for editing! Before using Lightroom CC, this would be my go-to photo editing app! If you're looking for a new editing app, this is one you should check out!

Google Photos

So, I know a bunch of people know about this app, but I have just found out about it a few months ago, and who knows, maybe some of you don't know about it! I used to always stress about my phone running out of space because of all the pictures and videos I take.

Well, Google photos automatically uploads all the photos you have in your library and puts it on their cloud. The best part? .... There's unlimited space! Yes, you heard correctly, it's unlimited. You can put as many photos/videos as you want. So if you don't have it yet, what are you doing?!

8mm

Have you ever wondered how people have that old vintage camera look on their Instagram stories? This is the way! It's a $1.99 app, and it allows you to record everything from your regular camera and give it this vintage look! It even has the vintage sounds and everything! If you like this artistic look, then here's the way to get it!

So those are the apps I use and recommend! What apps do you use for Instagram? Let me know in the comments down below! As always, thank you so much for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. Sending you love, strength, and positivity.
