Tag team: Metrogram and Instagraph are pairing up to bring one Instagram client to rule them all

At that place are a few criticisms levied against Instagraph, the third party "work effectually" for Instagram on Windows Phones, including price, upload limits and characteristic set. That concluding one is a bit interesting considering as of right now, users can only upload photos to Instagram merely they would need another app to view their friends' feed, comment, share photos, etc.

That's coming to an finish though every bit Metrogram and Instagraph are air-high-fiving to bring a single use system. We've actually been privy to the info for awhile (shocked?) only it wasn't our place to denote the news. Simply at present the developer behind Metrogram, a highly stylized Instagram viewer that nosotros recently covered, has posted a pic teasing the pseudo-merger (see above).

Indeed, the developers behind Instagraph even teased the union in our defended forum for the app, noting that the first pace will be "…a smart, bi-directional integration (Metrogram will open Instagraph and vice-versa). Adjacent steps... Stay tuned.".

While that ways you'll still demand 2 apps, the apps volition talk to and piggyback off of each other, resulting in a more than unified experience. The reason why they're doing it that fashion at first is considering it's easy and fast—they tin bang out updates to enable this presumably in only a few brusque weeks. Later, they can work on a more than integrated app, should they choose to do so.

Such a move won't brand all the skeptics happy, of class, but it'due south fun to encounter developers working together for the edification of the Windows Phone community.

You tin notice Instagraph here in the Store for $two.49 (no complimentary trial) and Metrogram here (complimentary). Metrogram will exist receiving an update soon to re-enable commenting.

Cheers, Jonathan D., Dennis A., and Ruben S., for the tips!
