Here's one that WP has:

6tag | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

You CAN apply filters!!

I know that there is a native Instagram client coming to BB10 (it was a main page article, but its name eludes me right now), but at launch it won't support adding filters.

So a philosophical question, why has this taken BB10 so long. The demand was there right? Why wasnt the app created earlier?

Now you can use native filters and frames with iGrann when uploading photos

Clewley has given the dev a BlackBerry Z10 so yeah we will see native filters.

While the demand was there for the everyday consumer, I can't say for certainty that it has existed for the majority of BB owners. This could be a reason that it's taken so long, the dev wanted to make sure his product would be worth his time.

It's because BlackBerry and their awful communication skills. We were all unsure if an official Instagram client was coming, so was the developer. Similar to the Whatsapp developer who got shafted, this guy probably did not want to develop only to have his hard work ruined because an official one came out.

Two reasons:

1. Uncertainty about an official Instagram client. An official app would mean a certain block for a reverse engineered one.

2. Microsoft is not shopping itself around.

Man you are really looking past this. BlackBerry was literally begging Instagram to come over to BlackBerry 10. They offered to build the app and everything. Too bad the company is waiting for this platform to grow and see if bringing it over would be a good move. BlackBerry has great communication skills, unfortunately some companies have horrible listening skills. The Whatsapp situation was an unfortunate mishap, and yes i do feel bad for the developer. BlackBerry should have compensated him with like a limited edition device for his efforts.

BlackBerry, the company that literally goes silent for days regarding important events. Ie Bbm cross platform.

They need to be silent with the public. Every time they open their mouths to the public, people ridicule their actions and form angry mobs and start thousands of forum posts. But in regards to talking with app developers in bringing their app to the BB10 platform, port or native, they are not silent.

Idk what to say, maybe we should ask socrates

Windows Phone has 7 Instagram clients:

1. 6tag (Official nod from Instagram team)
2. Instance
3. Instagraph
4. Hipstamatic Oggl ( Official instagram partner)
5. InPic
6. Pictastic
7. #2instawithmassivelove

Now, The reason for this is much higher developer interest in WP than BB10, not to forget the excellent Microsoft developer tools and the ease with which WP8 and Windows 8 apps can use shared code, combine this with the kind of apocalyptic dark clouds hanging over Blackberry and you get the answer for awful developer support behind BB10 when compared to Windows Phone.

Agree with you. Developer interest in BB10 is awful compared to Android/IOS/WP
though I love BB10's Instagram app igrann. But it is nothing compared to 6tag. 6tag is better than the official app and the developers (in terms of features). They even got Instagram's attention. That's alone is incredibly hard to get. But I think Instagram will eventually buy 6tag and rename it. Though I wonder why BB10 users would want the igrann developer to copy features from 6tag that Rudy Huyn made from hard work. very stupid and odd. I suggest to the BB10 igrann developer to think of his own things. It stands out from others. Copying others is not going to help app downloads.

How long has windows phone been out? That alone is part of the reason... I will grant you that the dark clouds over BlackBerry don't help at all...

all these apps were realeased in 2013. to be specific Windows phone 8 cannot run on wp7 phones. So the version date of Wp8 was that released in October 2012. after that that was when all the apps started to come into the WP store. So it does show that WP developer interest is much better than BB10's

Windows Phone 8 was released on 29th October, 2012. BB10 was released on 30th January, 2013. Not much time difference between the launch time of both these operating systems.

I was considering 7 and 7.5 as part of my statement, but, not sure how much has changed between os versions of Windows phone

• Transitions to core components from Windows 8, including kernel, file system, drivers, network stack, security components, media and graphics support
• Support for multi-core CPUs of up to 64 cores (system is currently optimized for Snapdragon S4 dual and quad core processors)
• Support for WXGA (1280×720, 1280×768) resolutions
• Support for MicroSD cards
• Internet Explorer 10
• Background multitasking (enhanced)
• NFC support added, including payment and content sharing with WP8 and Windows 8 machines (NFC is partially supported in Tango update, e.g. ZTE Orbit)
• Native code support (C and C++), simplified porting from platforms such as Android, Symbian, and iOS (Native code is also supported in WP7 for vendors, carriers and key partners)
• Simplified porting of Windows 8 apps to Windows Phone 8 (compatibility with Windows 8 'Modern UI' apps)
• Carrier control and branding of "wallet" element is possible via SIM or phone hardware (Orange will be first)
• Nokia map technology (Navteq maps with offline mode, turn-by-turn directions)
• Native 128-bit Bitlocker encryption, Secure Boot
• Remote device management of Windows Phone similar to management of Windows PCs
• VoIP and video chat integration for any VoIP or video chat app (integrates into the phone dialer, people hub)
• In-app purchases
• Firmware over the air for Windows Phone updates
• Minimum 18 month support of Windows Phone updates to WP8 devices
• Camera app now supports "lenses", which allow third parties to skin and add features to camera interface
• Camera burst mode that let users choose the best picture from a series of pictures
• Camera panoramic setting using Microsoft's PhotoSynth technology
• Possibility to take screenshots
• Deeper SkyDrive integration, including ability to sync data such as music collections
• Data Sense tracks and reports data usage, lowers data usage when nearing pre-set data cap, enables compression of websites through cloud service, locates WiFi hotspots
• Scrapped Zune desktop software for syncing
• Kids corner
• Rooms
• Live Apps

the biggest change was the NT kernel change. separating from the CE kernel from Wp7. So meaning Wp7 and Wp8 are completely different. Wp8 is more hardware changes while Wp8.1 and the GDR updates is going to be more software changes and some hardware changes.

If you will go to the IGrann thread, I don't think the dev is copying 6tag. I am not sure where you got that idea.

I mean in terms of features not UI. But people are suggesting to take stuff from 6tag like UI change and boarder colour etc. it's pretty noticeable. All I'm suggesting it that the igrann developer should think of his own ideas to be different from other instagram apps. and copying is not going to do anything. They both may be on different platforms but they can ask companies to remove apps that copy other developers ideas. e.g look at 6tag a massively popular app on WP. the reason is because it has features that no other instagram app has.

[axeman1000]

Bb10 has editing already built in to the pictures app anyways




This is within the os, just have to look a little to find the jems involved. Mix that with the story maker app built in and your pictures can be edited quite a bit.

Oh got that. I think the iGrann will have a more BB10 feel to it, like having a light/dark theme option, using the native editor, etc, based on the screen shots and the descriptions by the dev.

That is like considering BB7 and BB10 as same, the WP7 was CE kernel while WP8 is windows NT kernel same as desktop windows.
