Explore all of Instagram with Instamap
We’re committed to create the best Instagram browser for iOS out there, and this is a big step towards that.
We’ve added a lot of new options while viewing the photos full-screen like viewing the likers, location and tags because we feel you should know everything about the photos you’re viewing.
Also now you can tap any tag or user mentioned in a description or a comment to see the full details about it and a preview of the pictures it has before you subscribe to that feed.
Talking about subscriptions, now it’s really easy to explore Instagram by subscribing to any tag or user you see in the full-screen image viewer. Also if you’ve stacked up on subscriptions that no longer interest you there is now a delete button right next to the image gallery or map which will quickly remove that subscription
We hope you like the changes and hope to hear your feedback at contact at nextroot dot com
Instamap - a better way to browse Instagram pictures
A new update for Instamap is now available
After yesterday’s SongMix update, today we are releasing Instamap 1.3. We completely changed the way we fetch and store the photos from Instagram making the app a lot faster and smoother. The ‘Load more’ button from photo streams disappears from this update as new photos are fetched automatically as you scroll in a photo gallery. Basically you can now enjoy thousands of photos without having to press any buttons.
We also made improvements in the big gallery. New photos are now pushed in a gallery as you browse it and ‘infinite scrolling’ works in this view as well.
The update also include huge stability improvements as we managed to fix some memory leaks. So go ahead and update Instamap today to enjoy the best Instagram browser for iPad and iPhone.
SongMix 1.1 adds Last.fm integration
Today we are realeasing the first update for SongMix. This update includes a couple of bug fixes and optimizations and adds Last.fm integration making SongMix a better music discovery tool. You can now configure your Last.fm account in SongMix (go to Options -> Account) and whenever you press the Favorite button on a song in SongMix it going to be automatically pushed to your Loved collection on Last.fm.
Another new feature added with this release is the possibility to favorite a songs from the end game screen. This way you can focus on the game while playing without having to deal with the Favorite button. In order to add a track to your Favorite list at the end of the game, you just have to slide song to the right and press the Favorite button.
Enjoy!
