Ain’t competition grand? In the race to have the most full featured Instagram client for Windows Phone, we now have a few developers working on various projects. While we told you Instagraph was updated today with Windows Phone 7.x support, Itsdagram is doing quite a few maneuvers too.
Daniel Gary, the developer behind the app, expects the paid version to go live this Friday. For those who paid for the early beta version, no worries as that carries over to this release so there will be no need to repurchase.
About a week later, Gary expects to release a full-featured free version that is ad-supported. That seems like a great compromise for those who balk at paying developers money for apps (we’re the opposite: we gladly pay not to see garish ads).
The version coming out will be a few steps behind the current beta that some of us are enjoying, but we figured we would tease you with some of those new features (those screenshots are the latest redesigns):
Double tap in image to like/unlikeIf an image has a red background, you like it, white means you haven't yetTap and hold on a list of images to alternate between Timeline view and Grid viewNew filter engine with custom filtersComment/Like count on the main page/image lists.Profile page.? Tap your image to update your profile picture.? Changing password coming in next update.Photos of You and Liked photos on your profile pageCommenting from feed viewThat’s of course in addition to the previous updates that added notification support (Live Tile, detailed Lockscreen info, Lockscreen counter, Toast Notifications) and the ability to comment. Gary is also expected to soon add contact auto-complete support as well—a move that is really dotting his I’s and crossing his t’s.
The inclusion of square-cropping and a selection of unique filters (non-Aviary) should also make many who yearn for a 100% full-Instagram client quite happy (we dig the filter choices but of course you can still use "pure" aka no filter or bring your own).
We’re confident that Itsdagram will get through certification once again though we’re still uncertain about if (and how) Instagram will respond to the app on the Store.
We’ll of course let you know as soon as version 1.0 is live in the Store for purchase. Stay tuned.

10. You must not access Instagram's private API by means other than those permitted by Instagram.
This app will be revoked immediately and the developer legally persecuted (I'm a lawyer...).
Even if I don't like Instagram attitude, I will not? pay for this nor support illegal stuff...

Daniel Rubino says: @PaulWP As we've said numerous times, 3rd party Pandora apps and all the YouTube apps (including?Microsoft's) do this on Windows Phone. Even our WPCentral app violates Google's YouTube's T&C.
It's also not "illegal". There is no law saying you can't violate T&C (though I suppose they could try and sue the developer).?T&C?are rules you agree to abide by to use their service. Instagram can't call the police on you though if you break 'em, just cancel your account.
Even if was illegal, I'd still support it. What we can't have, we take in the digital age.

hopmedic says: I would have expected a real lawyer to be able to spell prosecuted, as well as knowing that violating T&C isn't a crime.
Posted on May 15, 2013 at 10:31 pm - 2 hours ago Reply venetasoft says: Our legals said us Insta private API are copyrighted to protect them against decompilation/sniffing and unauthorized usage, so it could not be a ToS violation only...
Posted on May 15, 2013 at 10:53 pm - 2 hours ago Reply mister2d says: It actually says "persecuted". Likely on purpose to scare people off in a humorous way. Obviously the developer isn't a lawyer.

Posted on May 15, 2013 at 5:01 pm - 8 hours ago Reply spcdog says: I think it's the opposite. I think these guys put a lot of work into their apps, starting a long time ago when it looked like an official app was never going to happen. And now they are racing to build a user base and recoup R&D costs because it looks like an official app might be on the horizon. But, either way, good for community. ;)

erzhik says: So wait.. One guy designs a better looking app than the company itself? How is that even possible? From reading the description and looking at the screenshots, it seems that Itsdagram is a better designed app than Instagram on iOS.

Posted on May 15, 2013 at 5:17 pm - 7 hours ago Reply erzhik says: Than Instagram should be seriously ashamed of themselves. Sell their business for $1billion and can't even create an app for WP or redesign the app on iOS. While some guy sitting on a couch in his living room designs an app that looks better than original. First it was Rowi, than MetroTube and 4th and Mayor, now this...WP got some really good 3rd party devs.

One question: How long on average for the version that probably will be available on Friday be updated to the latest version which is in beta test??
?
Another question: In addition to the filters which other application features you already have done?and what are the future plans, such as brightness and contrast ajusts and blur of a certain area, the way in which it is made on Instagram (with radial or bars). The blur efect is the feature I love most!!! :)

If you can afford a $600 phone, then a $1.50 app disappearing won't break your bank. Hell, Microsoft has pulled Xbox games that cost a lot more.
