Too much locked behind paywall

At least let me try to use it! However the homepage working is a great proof of concept.

Continuous Login Errors + Unable To Use On Multiple Watches

Recently, I’ve started using two Apple Watches I switch between, and for some reason, neither of them allow me to access my account - with an error message popping up (the same one on each respective devices) telling me to try again + login again - even though I am logged in on the iPhone app & have the Pro version that I purchased.

I would’ve scored higher - as before this, I rarely had many issues and was able to access the app as intended [albeit on one watch at the time] - but now, considering I can no longer either restore my purchase or even login into the Apple Watch version (even with having logged on on the iPhone app), I’m unable to say I’m happy with this app anymore, plus, I’m even considering requesting a refund at this point; as it is now, it’s not worth the money I paid for unfortunately 😭

Please resolve this issue ASAP and also add in the option to use the app effectively on multiple watches that ‘Auto Switch’ between each other.

계정 전환 이슈

저는 매우 잘 쓰고 있긴 한데 계정 전환을 어떻게 하는지 모르겠습니다.,🥺 부계로 그냥 보고 있긴 한데 본계로 보고 싶어요….

조금 불편하긴 하지만 강추 드려요

스토리, 릴스, 디엠 다 할 수 있구요 단점이라면 릴스나 스토리를 볼 때 계속 넘겨서 볼 수 없고 하나하나 누르고 끄고 하면서 봐야해요 그래도
학교에서 인스타 볼 수 있다는 게 되게 좋네요!
(만약에 프로 사셨는데 재설치 하셨으면
Restore 버튼 누르시면 다시 복구 돼요)

can I get a dm notification?

I’m using the app well, but I’m curious if I can get a dm notification without the instagram app installed on my phone. Is it possible? If it isn’t, can you add that feature on the next update?
