iTunes App Store is one of the things behind the main success iOS. Its rich and varied offer puts it ahead of other mobile platforms. It contains various kinds of applications, from useful ones to almost useless ones. However, there are also special categories that have become part of our daily use and we cannot imagine our iZariadenie without them. Some of them help us stay in touch with our friends through social networks, or just entertain us and drive away boredom.
Couple days ago Apple officially presented the Top 10 applications from various categories of pre iOS, for the year 2011. The application of the year pre iPhone became Instagram, which can edit photos and then share them on the most famous social networks. Since I was interested in why it achieved such success, I decided to test it.
To begin with, I will start with the installation, which takes place normally via AppStore. We can either search for Instagram manually, or just click on the Featured section, where it is currently at the very top.
After installation, you need to create your own account. You must enter an email, username and password. Phone number and picture are optional.
In the next step, we may or may not search for friends according to the following criteria. From contacts, from social networks or by first and last name. If you do not choose either option, I will offer you the most popular users to download photos. You also don't have to choose anyone and just click on DONE.

POPULAR selects photos from users around the world, based on the number of views. NEWS chronologically ranks the activity of you and your friends.

By clicking on SHARE, we get to the main task of Instagram and the team is taking photos and then editing the photo. On the bottom side there are icons with pictures of trees. Each of them means a different color filter. We can choose, for example, XPro-II, Earlybird, Rise, Amaro, Hudson, Lomo-fi, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Nashville and 1977. The upper bar is also used to improve the image. We can add a frame with the square icon. The arrow is used to rotate the photo 360 degrees. The drop selects the sharpness of the center and the blurring of the sides or vice versa. Cancel the adjustment with a cross. After editing, just confirm on the green line below.

Summary
Instagram is really great. It is mainly characterized by simple control and quick photo editing. But since I don't belong to the group of people who need to hang up every day Facebook dozens of photos, for me it is one of the many applications that I use only occasionally. Personally, I think that Instagram won the TOP championship due to the fact that it is free, which has many more satisfied users than many useful paid applications, which, in my opinion, deserve this title much more.
