August 25th, 2011, 9:55 am

We’re presenting the app of the week for quite a while now and don’t want to ignore one of the most popular apps on the market.

Instagram is like a Twitter for photography. The community of Instagram users increased rapidly to 5 million in less than a year. Additionally a whole infrastructure of web-apps, offline-printing services and more was built around this app.

Here’s a little guide for those who are not using Instagram yet.

The functionality of the app is really easy. You take a picture with your smartphone or just chose one of your gallery. If you like you can add a layer to enhance the picture and publish it in your Instagram network. Gaze at the artworks of your friends, like and comment them and of course you can share your posts easily via Facebook and Twitter. Like Twitter it allows you to follow people and people can follow you. If you don’t want to share your private pictures you can set your status to private and limit image access to friends.

Here’s a short video to introduce you to the app:

What we like so much about the app and the Instagram community is the complexity. There is a wide range of photography no matter if you’re interested in cooking, street art or architecture. You decide who to follow with a simple click. The filter function for picture editing and the currrent trend to retro photography are some more reasons why Instagram is so successful. Even if you’re not a photo pro you can create great artwork.

Enough talk, just try this amazing app and don’t hesitate to comment or share your work.
