Ten years ago, you probably wouldn't have dreamed your cellphone would replace your camera. Now, millions of people carry mobiles that easily out-snap their point-and-shoot competitors. Better yet, these phones can download hundreds of filters, add customized text and post to social media in the blink of an eye (or a shutter, as the case may be).
The camera industry may have taken a hit with the rise of photo filter applications, but photography as an art form continues to grow, especially for the average Joe.
Ever-popular Instagram defeated competitors due to its style, simplicity, connectivity and community. Users are able to take a photo, make it look like they took it fifty years ago and then share it with all of their feeds.
But many supplemental apps serve to make Instagram even better by picking up on some basic functionality shortfalls. After all, Twitter didn't always have it's own search engine (remember Summize?), and like Twitter, Instagram shouldn't be offended by a little development piggybacking. Here are 10 apps that make more out of Instagram.
1. Postagram
Travelers and adventurers alike will appreciate this app. With Instagram integration, you're able to send postcards from anywhere, anytime. Add the addresses of your favorite recipients. When something photo-worthy happens, snap a pic and send it. Your loved one will receive a postcard with your photo, which they can print for their fridge. Prefer magnets? Stickygram has you covered.
