3 Must-Know Instagram Apps

Hello Lovelies! 

Instagram is getting creative day by day. 
Photo and video format come in all sorts to become more engaging. 
Here are some of the popular apps to up your game:

1. Repost

Ever wonder how people repost pictures they like on instagram? Well, easy!

I recommend 2 apps: 1) Repost for Instagram and 2) Save & Repost for Instagram. Instead of capturing screenshot, you can easily click on the dots (...) icon on the top right hand of the photo or video, copy share URL and repost it via the apps on your feed. Depending on your preference, you can choose with or without the repost watermark. By re-posting your favorite photos and videos on instagram, it makes your feed more personal to your audience. 

2. Grid
Ever intrigued how a picture can multiply in size L x H on Instagram timeline, well here you go!

I recommend either InstaGrid or InstaGrid Maker. This function is mostly appealing to artistic souls especially photographers. An Instagram grid, however, requires consistent effort to maintain the view including the caption for each post. High resolution photos are also desirable, otherwise it'll appear blur. Photos that are most suitable for grid are commonly travel, architecture, nature or abstract landscape. For typical people like us, a ratio of 3 x 1 will suffice ;)

3. Slow Motion
Ever watch a video and suddenly the climax slows down? Well, here's the secret!

I recommend Video Show - FREE iMovie. It allows you to slow down certain parts of the video you wish to slow down, unlike other apps that forces you to slow down the full video. The classic types of videos used for slow motion are always a subject in action, motion or happening. The slow-mo effect builds up tension and creates anticipation to the viewing experience compared to a video without any. 

Hope you had fun!
