## What is Curated?

Curated helps you plan your instagram profile, enabling you to see how photos are going to look in the grid before you post them. 

So what makes Curated different from all the other apps that do a similar thing? 

CURATED was designed with two goals in mind
1. Make the most simple and intuitive instagram planner on the market, that I would actually want to use myself. 
2. No subscription. For those that want to upgrade to Pro mode, they can do so for a one-time fee.

Features that make it stand apart from the rest:

HISTORY
Easily access past images you have tried without going back into your photo library to find them

FAVOURITES
Ear mark all your favourite photos for potential posts so you can quickly get to them

PULL UP TAB BAR
Provides easy access the history and favourites, allowing you to easily drag photos from them into the main grid

COMPOSE
All your draft captions are kept in one place so you don’t have to keep clicking through to different photos to find them

CLONE GRIDS
So you can experiment with changes without losing what you had before

GRID SHIFT
Shift your photos over a column and see how they’ll look in all configurations

NO SUBSCRIPTION
For those that wish to upgrade to the full version can do so for a one-time fee.

NO INSTAGRAM LOGIN REQUIRED
You don’t need to connect your instagram to be able to use the app.

SLICK UI
A great deal of love has been put into the app to make sure its intuitive and looks great.


Pro Features
-------------
UNLIMITED GRID SPACE
Plan ahead as far as you want.

FULL USE OF HISTORY AND FAVOURITES
Access a much bigger history and tag as many favourites as you like, with virtually no limit.
