The first public demo of this app was in the recently concluded SXSW in Texas and after few days of waiting, Instagram for Android is now available at Google Play Store.
Instagram is a free app that enables user to take photo and apply digital filter and share it to various social networking site and Instagram own social networking service. This service and app were exclusive for iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPad Touch) devices for a long time and now in Android. By the time of writing there were only 3 downloads and lets see how many will download this app in 24-hours.
Photo filtering apps are not new to Android, with the absence of Instagram on Android platform, it gave the chance to other app developer to have photo filtering alternative to Instagram.
Instagram for Android features:
- 100% free custom designed filters and borders
