Pros

  • Boosts your productivity because you don't have to constantly check your Instagram.
  • Check out the "Photo of the Day" through links.
  • You can employ the search engine to find specific users you like who take great pictures.

Cons

  • Not the most practical app out there.

Anyone looking for a little extra utility with Instagram may want to check out the Instagram Live Windows 8 software because this technology will let you download pictures and host it from any Instagram account. You can collect photos from your Instagram account, and you can use the search engine to enter names and learn who you want to download photos from. If the privacy options of an account will allow for it, you can check out the links from the photos that have been hosted.

Links for the Most Important Features on Instagram

Through the utility of the links, you will see the "Photos of the Day," and you can also look at some of the most popular pictures of Instagram through this method. Now, it might not be quite as practical as you'd hope. For example, even despite the minimalist approach to the interface and the results appearing fast, the system ultimately proves highly impractical for downloading photos because it doesn't actually let you download the photos from the Desktop. Instead, you recover the links and from there, you will have to copy and paste the link to check out the pictures. Another problem is how the system won't let you preview the photos, and you experience tons of connection errors with specific accounts. Nothing has been done about this despite it getting reported.

During the test of this software, we found it was almost impossible to copy and paste the links over to certain accounts.

Saves Time and Boosts Productivity

One of the nice things about Instagram Live Windows 8 is how it saves you on time because you don't have to log in to use the software. Instead of getting distracted by the countless possible updates, you can simply make the most of them right from your desktop. This popular social network has grown because of the love for photos, and you can perform almost the same actions that you might have for the mobile device.

Upload Photos, View Friends and Apply Filters

Among some of the many things that you can do on Instagram, uploading photos has been one of the most popular. Here you can make new friends and apply filters to search for specific photos. You can also comment on your favorite pictures, and you might search for a specific image to download.

Instagram Live Windows 8 is a worthwhile download because of it's access to pictures. In fact, that's what this social media site specializes in. If you'd like to learn more about it, one of the best ways to do this is to download it and find out for yourself. Maybe you'll like it and maybe you won't.

Instagram Live for Windows 8 is a simple app that lets you take advantage of some of the features of the social networking site without loading the full site.

While there are a lot of social networking sites that let you share photos, Instagram is one of the more popular ones. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have millions of followers on the site and share pictures of everything from red carpet events to family dinners. With an account on the site, you can share photos with your own followers and follow accounts that you like too.

While you might think that Instagram Live for Windows 8 will let you link your account and share photos from your desktop, it doesn't actually come with that type of integration. It's better suited for those who want to view Instagram images without logging in to their own accounts first. You can also use this app without having an account of your own too.

This app shows you the most popular images on the site and trending images. Viewing those photos can help you stay up to date on current trends before your friends do. You may even have the chance to see memes and funny photos before those images go viral. Another feature of the app is that it lets you search for photos by the tags that others used. This is a great way to see pictures of a destination before your next vacation or photos taken in your own city. Instagram Live for Windows 8 also lets you view photos by location.

Instagram Live for Windows 8 makes use of hashtags, which are short words or phrases that describe a picture or post. When you open this app, you can view the most popular hashtags of the day. Clicking on any of those hashtags will bring up a list of images with that tag. You can look for images of celebrities, holiday decorating ideas, or motivational images.

Many users dislike the interface on this app and its loading times. Once you click on a hashtag or an image, it can take up to 60 seconds or longer for that image to load. You might find that you can view photos faster on the Instagram website. There are also complaints about the general layout of the app and about the look of the buttons. If you prefer checking Instagram without having your own account though, Instagram Live for Windows 8 is useful.
