Any recommendations for a replacement app?
I assume you're talking about a replacement app FOR Instagram right? Why is everyone giving you editing apps/filters?
I came across
http://www.pudding.to/ It seems like it's the underdog for photo sharing & filtering now.
On another note, it's so many clueless people who know nothing about Instagram. Everyone DOESN'T use the built in filters or even use just their phones to take photos. How can you criticize an app you've only heard about? I don't think most people are claiming to be the greatest of Photographers but it's a nice app (for a mobile device) to share photos, etc. I'm not advocating for the post of a boy pop band or a girl in the mirror with duck lips, or showing us what she wore today. I'm talking about the amateur who captured the Brooklyn Bridge, played around with the contrast and is seeking advice/opinions on how to make it better, or just a simple
"Nice capture". Every photographer (or artist, musician, architect) started out as an amateur. Get over yourselves.
I won't make the plunge to delete my account just yet. I'm trying to remain optimistic about this acquisition.
