About to get canceled

I’m definitely about to cancel this app. Initially you did not need to sign in to use the app now when I do sign in over and over and over. It keeps asking me to verify Instagram. I’ve already done this like six times. I’m not dealing with it anymore. I don’t even know anymore I’m tired of verifying I’m just gonna cancel this

Annoying and a ripoff

The app is driving me nuts lately. Something they’ve done recently has left me NOT getting what I PAID for. Blank space where photos or reels should be. It constantly happens. I will NOT be renewing and I should demand my money back for this last quarter. Doesn’t work more than it does. I emailed support and weeks later they give me some sad excuse. My advice is don’t buy this app. They’re others available.

Comment

This app is great. But I wish you could comment on here too. Without logging in through Instagram of course.

Response from developer

Thank you for the compliment and suggestion! We're intrigued by your idea of adding a commenting feature directly within our app but would love to understand more about how you envision this working. Could you please provide us with more details at storyviewerforinsta@gmail.com ? Your insights help us improve, and we're always open to exploring new features that enhance user experience.

Locks me out

I pay for the premium subscription and every time I go to login to look at a private account my instagram locks me out and forces me to change my password. I can't keep getting locked out of my actual account every time I need to login to this. I'll be unsubscribing if this isn't fixed.

Response from developer

We apologize for the inconvenience. This is due to Instagram's login policy. Please contact us at storyviewerforinsta@gmail.com for guidance on using our app in compliance with these policies. We value your subscription and are here to assist.

Getting better

I do enjoy the app, and I appreciate adding highlights. What I ask, is being able to download the stories and postings. Also, if there’s a reel in the posting that we can play it.

I’ve also come across the problem that when I login Instagram picks up after a while that I am using the app and I get knocked out. This leads to receiving warnings from them.

Overall, I do appreciate the app and being able to watch stories anonymously. Appreciate how you are making improvements.

Love this app!

I absolutely love this app! The only thing I would add which I believe it used to be in an earlier version is the ability to see their following and follower count.

Other than that, it’s a great app.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and your love for our app! We're thrilled that you're enjoying it. Regarding the feature you mentioned, the ability to see follower and following counts, we truly appreciate your suggestion. While this feature was present in an earlier version, we are currently working on refining it to provide an even better experience. We apologize for any temporary inconvenience this might cause. If you have any more ideas or questions, please feel free to share. Your support means a lot to us, and we're committed to making your experience with our app as enjoyable as possible.

Affordable but wish it allowed you to save stories

The one thing this is missing is to save the stories or posts you view to your camera roll. Other apps have this but charge a lot more. You can always screen record or screenshot but you have to edit them.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. It's feedback like this that allows us to improve our service and cater to the needs of our users more effectively. The feature you've mentioned - saving stories or posts directly to your camera roll - indeed sounds very useful. It could provide an efficient and smooth user experience. We understand how the current process of screen recording or screenshotting can be somewhat inconvenient, especially when editing is needed afterwards. As of now, we haven't implemented this feature due to some technical and privacy considerations. However, based on your input, we are certainly open to exploring this idea further. We always strive to balance functionality with user convenience, while also maintaining competitive pricing. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and want to assure you that your suggestion is being taken seriously. We are always looking for ways to improve and your insights are vital to that process. Please feel free to continue to share any other ideas or feedback you may have.

Inconsistent and unreliable

Half of the time it can’t retrieve an Instagram profile and shows a black screen. Sometimes if you close out and go back in it will show stories but not posts of the other way around. Rarely works as it should especially since it’s not free. Disappointing

Loses the point of being anonymous

It’s great at first and then it keeps wanting me to log into my instagram. I’ve deleted and redownloaded about 6 times in like 3 days now. It’s to the point where I can’t even open the app for 2 seconds without it asking me and I JUST redownloaded. It has gotten severely annoying and I’m hoping it gets fixed but for now my 3 stars will stay. If not for this issue, it’s a great app and does its job but I can’t keep deleting and reinstalling

All over the place

I’ve used this app on and off for awhile now, and find myself having to remove the app every so often before re-downloading again. It randomly won’t load stories, and sometimes tries to make me log in with my own IG credentials. I do not want to have to log in bc I feel like that defeats the entire purpose of this app in the first place. Off to find another option again I guess…

Nothing but problems

This app has a serious issue when it comes to consistency. Now it’s saying that to use the app at all you have to log in. You HAVE to? Part of this apps appeal is that you DONT have to log in to use it. And the team will come in the review section claiming the problem is fixed when it NEVER is. They have had the same complaints from PAYING customers for over a year now! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Why do I have to sign in?

Why do I all of a sudden have to sign in with my Instagram to view stories? I never did in the past. I’m about to cancel my subscription.

It works off & on + updates make it worst

I’ve been using this app for about 2 years and the updates make it worst every time. For some odd reason it’s making me us my password for IG now which is totally uncalled for. I don’t know what the app developer is doing at this point.

Sometimes works

Sometimes it doesn’t work, it’s like a hit or miss because 50% of the time it’s working and the other 50% it’s just won’t connect

Sometimes it doesn’t work

For the most part it does what it’s suppose to do but I don’t understand why it doesn’t work sometimes like it won’t load people’s stories even if they posted them recently. It’s an annoying glitch that I’m pretty sure is recent because I’ve been using the app for about 2 years

A lot of glitches

I try to monitor my god children, nieces and nephews activity and sometimes I see they posted a story and it doesn’t show on the app, which I pay for. But when it works it’s nice.

App never works properly

When i search for someone, their profile comes up blank. I’ve checked to see if maybe the app needed an update, but it doesn’t have any. I will constantly close the app and try again and get the same error. I will be uninstalling the app, not worth the money.

Not Satisfied!

It seems like the app only works when you don’t make a payment. As soon as you subscribe and the payment goes through it starts to mess up ! Can I get my money back please and thank you! It won’t search any name or do anything

No customer support

This often does not work even with a subscription. When you contact customer support, they do not respond.
