### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-03-18, version 5.1.1*

I tried to log in and it gets stuck at ‘Calculating Times’ everytime even though it says it shouldn’t take more than 60 seconds…

### 1/5 — Takes long

*2024-02-12, version 5.1.1*

It takes too long for the time to calibrate

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2024-02-06, version 5.1.1*

I tried logging in for 3 hours and still can’t connect my IG account

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2024-01-20, version 5.1.1*

Downloaded the app. Signed in and got tot he part where it says it’s analyzing and reconfiguring the data collected to my home zone and nothing. It’s just sits there and keeps spinning. It says it won’t take more then 60 seconds but I have waited for up to 15 minutes and nothing. I have tried it more then a dozen times. Removed app, downloaded it again hoping that would make it work and it still goes no further then the reconfiguration of the times.

### 1/5 — Would not load

*2023-08-30, version 5.1.1*

Stayed in the screen for about 20 minutes and it never loaded any information. Backed out and tried again same result.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-13, version 5.1.1*

Really wanted to use this app but unfortunately after attempting to log in via the Instagram pop up it does not load anything.

### 1/5 — Unuseable

*2023-07-23, version 5.1.1*

Dosent go past the “Calculating time” page which says it wont take longer than 60 seconds. I let it go on for almost 30 mins and still nothing. Completely unusable

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2023-05-04, version 5.1.1*

Once opened the app just keeps loading. It says that to analyze your profile it won’t take longer than 60 sec. but it never loads

### 1/5 — The app is not working

*2023-04-16, version 5.1.1*

I downloaded your app almost a year ago and for some reason it kicked me out and I cannot log back in.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2023-03-17*

Bought the premium subscription without knowing how bad this app is. I’ve been trying to sign in all day and it says, “this will only take 60 seconds.” Hours later it’s still stuck on the screen. I’ve deleted and re-downloaded multiple times and there’s absolutely NO way to ask for help. No contact info, no nothing. Just glitches and disappointment.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work?

*2023-02-15, version 5.1.1*

Got my login information and then proceeds to “load” indefinitely. The app says it won’t take longer than 60 seconds and I’ve tried more than once, for well over 60 seconds. I don’t trust it.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-01, version 5.1.1*

I used to use this app all the time and worked great but one day I opened it up, it logged me out of the connected account and when I tried to log back in it does not let me. Just stays “analyzing” for hours

### 1/5 — False info

*2022-10-06, version 5.1.1*

I refreshed it 3x back to back and each time the best times to post would change. So seems like the app is really just throwing out random times. This is a dead app you won’t get a response from developers.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-09-28, version 5.1.1*

iPhone 12 - Unable to refresh since June. Every time I try the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Disappointed New User

*2022-09-15*

Hello. I just purchased a monthly subscription to this app and already I’m dissatisfied and disappointed. I scheduled a post, and there’s a message advising the app can’t post on my behalf but that notification would be sent. Cool. I set up the post, hashtags, time, etc. I received the notification as planned but my pre-created post did not get updated to Instagram. I tried several different ways. Nothing. You should allow users to text out all of the features of the app for a short period of time without having to share it. I’d never share this app unless I knew it was legit. I’m afraid to ask for a refund so I’ll take my losses and move on.

### 1/5 — Hitting refresh crashes the app

*2022-09-12*

I’ve reached out and emailed the support team in regards to the issues but never got a response back.  It seems that the app developer has abandoned this app after the update almost a year ago.  I did the trial but canceled before being charged because I’m not throwing my money at a glitchy app with no technical support or communication when reaching out.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-08-19, version 5.1.1*

Wanted to love this but it won't even let me add an account. The app just crashes every time I try.

### 4/5 — Good app but frustrating bug

*2022-02-12*

I do like this app and I find it useful but it can definitely be better. For example on the independent post numbers, it shows numbers for likes, comments and and the time it was posted…. Except that the a.m. or p.m. is cut off. 

So you can see your best post was posted at 7:43. You’ll never know if it was a.m. or p.m. because that part is cut off. Seems like a small detail to not be corrected. Yeah that information would be priceless.

### 2/5 — Never updates

*2021-05-18, version 5.0.7*

It has potential, but it read my data ONCE. It’s saying my most polar post is something from months ago that got 5 likes. My pinned has 50 likes! This doesn’t make sense! Honestly I call bullsh**.

### 1/5 — Charged for a free trial!!!

*2021-04-09, version 5.0.7*

Do not download this app and expect a free trial. I signed up by sharing with a friend and was charged a fee when it said it would be free. Very disappointing!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never got to use the app

*2025-06-26, version 5.1.1*

Doesn’t get past the calibrating spin. Never got to use the app

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-11-27, version 5.1.1*

Can’t even write a proper review for this because I can’t get it to log into my Instagram. Just get sent in circles back to the log in page…

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-11-22, version 5.1.1*

Downloaded. Over 22 tries to log in to my account and it keeps bouncing back to the login page. Is this normal?????

### 1/5 — How are you still operating?

*2024-10-22, version 5.1.1*

All the reviews from a year ago with log in problems, it’s still exactly the same.

### 1/5 — not connecting

*2024-07-16, version 5.1.1*

no matter how long i wait or how many times i delete and retry, it won’t connect to my insta page. gets caught in a loop of collecting data. but on that page it says it “shouldn’t take more than 60 seconds” .. how about two days and still nothing? 😒

### 1/5 — Can’t seem to get logged on

*2024-07-04, version 5.1.1*

Downloaded app, entered all details and it said it takes 60 seconds and don’t close. So I’m sat there trying to keep the screen from sleeping for over 10minutes. 
Tried it multiple times and it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Did not do anything but take my details.

*2024-06-21, version 5.1.1*

It said it would take no longer than 60 seconds but it’s been five minutes with flawless Wi-Fi and still nothing. I’m hesitant to believe people got results.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2024-05-15, version 5.1.1*

I let it calibrate for over an hour, even though the app says less than a minute. It never logs in. Nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work stuck in calibrating

*2024-05-04, version 5.1.1*

Doesn’t work stuck in calibrating. I was really hoping smh.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2024-03-27, version 5.1.1*

There’s something wrong with this. It never logs in. It asked you to log into IG or FB and then it spins and spins. Never completes the login.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-01-14, version 3.2.2*

Great app super useful works like a champ

### 5/5 — Super Useful

*2018-01-13*

This app really helps me make the most of my posts on Instagram. Though I don’t know if this “best time” is based on my audience or the activity on insta in general during that time 🤷🏼‍♀️. Either way it’s very helpful to maximize engagement. Well worth the download.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-01-07, version 3.2.2*

For a free app, this is great. Tells you what you need to know without giving too much info and even sends push notifications.

### 5/5 — My review

*2018-01-06, version 3.2.2*

Hey. The app is good. Just use it. :)
