Instagram has grown to become much more than just a photo sharing app. The community of Photo enthusiast it has built is expanding everyday. From just a simple photo sharing iOS app to 50+Million iOS & Android users and getting acquired by Facebook for $1 billion, Instagram API has opened a new fork for the developer community.
There are tons of other apps and tools which the community built for us. If you are already an Instagram user you might have already used some of the third party services.
