### 2/5 — Crashing

*2022-04-21, version 2.5.13*

App won’t load or open. Just keeps crashing. I will update this review when it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-02-03, version 2.5.13*

This app appears to be abandoned. As per other reviewers, Grab isn’t working anymore. It used to work fine.

### 1/5 — Is this being updated??

*2020-11-11, version 2.5.13*

Loved this app until it completely stopped working. Suddenly today it stopped accepting the links. Nothing happens. I deleted and reinstalled. Now I can’t sign in to Instagram through the Grab app, rendering the app useless. I bought the ad removal upgrade some years ago. Not sure what to do. The app’s website is dead, so the only place to complain is here. Will it ever be updated again??

### 1/5 — Trash

*2020-04-29, version 2.5.13*

This is a trash app and a complete waste of space on this store. Right when you open it there is a video explaining how the app goes & it take up your ENTIRE screen and you can close it out!!!!! Then it only gives you an option to buy the entire app.
BEWARE!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SO IF YOU WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TRASH THAT IS ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Repost vid problems

*2020-04-24, version 2.5.13*

The “learn how to repost” video won’t go away I don’t even repost I just download posts for audios and this is very unnecessary

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2020-04-18, version 2.5.13*

Used to be great, but now it does nothing. Instagram must have changed the back end and the developer just gave up chasing them. Pity.

### 2/5 — Not working anymore

*2020-03-31, version 2.5.13*

Used to work great. Just stopped working. Won’t load clipboard. App support or web page doesn’t exist.

### 1/5 — Poor interface design

*2020-02-05*

Poor app not worth your time

### 1/5 — Apple

*2020-01-31*

Impossible to use on ios.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2020-01-23*

I accidentally purchase the add free version. Ever since the app hasn’t work
