I love the thought of Instagram, posting pictures for your friends to see, having fun with photography. Its got me written all over it!
The only trouble being, I have a windows phone and I'm not likely to be getting an iphone any time soon. If any of you didn't know you can't download the proper version of Instagram onto a windows phone as it is only designed for the Apple Technology. However there are many Instagram alike apps (one by the actual creators of the instagram for iphones) this is called "Instagram beta" so it has not been fully developed yet. I got this app knowing it is made by the original creators so thought it should be close to the actual instagram.

And yes it is brilliant! I loved it at first! Posting many pictures, tagging my friends, it was my dreams come true. Until one of my friends asked me "Have you got that direct message I sent you?" I replied wondering what she was talking about "Direct message? On what?" She said "On instagram!" Then my fantasy shattered!
My instagram wasn't the real version and would never be. I didn't have the feature of "Direct message". As it was lots of my friends wanted to send pictures to me via this feature, but of course it didn't work! I was devastated! I wanted the real thing! I got past this barrier by finding different ways to send pictures and videos. This created many complications, which of course is extremely annoying!
Today my friends and I thought we would do the Ice bucket challenge and we also all got nominated. I of course I wanted to upload the video of it to Instagram Beta. I then find out that my app doesn't allow me to upload videos at all! This was exteremly annoying to me! I had friends and family who I asked if they could see the video.
So, I then thought I would try and find other Instagram apps for the windows phone that allowed you to upload videos. After installing numberous Instagram like apps to find out none of them let me upload videos onto Instagram!

Instagram was a great idea! I just wish they would sort out a Full featured working app for windows phone! This would help me and my social life a lot!
Does anyone else have these sort of problems?
In the end I thought I would ask my friend with a iphone if can log into my Instagram account via their phone, post it and logout. Not sure if that would work. But I'm going to try it! :)
