I've used apps that charged less and provided me with better video quality. It does the job nonetheless. ### 2/5 — Not so great *2025-10-16, version 5.0* There's a few major issues with this app, the biggest one being that quite often all of your story saves will completely disappear and the only way to get them back is to replace the links, which obviously would have expired by then. This is a big problem. Also annoying is that you can't sort your story saves into folder so trying to find what you're looking for takes forever. I had high hopes, but unfortunately would not recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-03-30, version 4.3* 👏 ### 5/5 — Bom *2025-03-23* otimo app! ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2025-03-11, version 4.3* Fast and simple to use ### 5/5 — Amoooo *2025-03-08* Ótimo app ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-03-05, version 4.3* Very good app, works anazing! ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍 *2025-03-05, version 4.3* This app is a game-changer for content creators! The transcription accuracy is mind-blowing, and being able to transcribe in 90+ languages is a huge plus. I love the seamless reposting to Instagram and how easy it is to edit and save media. InstantCatch makes creating and sharing content super fast and simple. Highly recommend for professionals and social media enthusiasts! ### 5/5 — Not loving *2025-03-03, version 4.3* Not loving ### 3/5 — Bugs issue *2025-02-23, version 4.3* You all need to fix this app every time I log in in this app is always something For example asking me to log in on instagram I do I try to use it still say log in even though I’m in my perfile still ask to log in is not just this app other apps try log in it close the app smh ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow *2026-08-18, version 6.1.1* Keeps asking to log in even when paid for ### 1/5 — Can’t save no matter what I try smh I’m not paying for this *2026-06-16, version 6.0* Pay to use only ### 1/5 — L fees *2026-06-16, version 6.0* I remember before the app got taken down and the update that i paid for a lifetime subscription and now it’s not active at all and the fact that the option to watch ads to save videos is removed is insane. I miss the old version of the app. R.I.P repost ### 1/5 — FORCED TO PAY *2026-06-16, version 6.0* now that you can't download anything for free and you're FORCED TO PAY FOR THIS APP, if you pay for this app you are a certified clown or you must be mentally handicapped if you can't find any other free way of downloading ig vids online. $6 a month for a glorified download button is RIDICULOUS but unfortunately bots will continue to leave positive reviews for this absolute garbage. ### 1/5 — Not working for IG *2026-02-06, version 5.2* App has not worked for IG for months. This has happened in the past and they would resolve. Nothing is happening this time. App simply doesn’t work, asks you to login even after you’ve logged in. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-04-08, version 4.3* Not uploading videos?????? Only Tik tok but now no IG!!!! Cmon. Geeezzz ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-23, version 4.3* Worked once but now just asks to log in. Paid for premium to see if that works but doesn’t and it’s just cost me £3.99 for nothing. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-24, version 4.3* Was working but not anymore, keeps telling me to log in even though im already logged in and i paid for this app ### 1/5 — Nice *2025-02-23, version 4.3* Cool ### 1/5 — Stopped working! *2025-02-23* Bad **Developer response:** Hi there!
