Instagrille (Instagram for PC)
Lets You View
Instagram Photos Without a Smartphone
Facebook-owned
Instagram needs little introduction: This mobile photo-sharing service has
taken the world of shutterbugs by storm, with tens of millions of users
enthusiastically snapping and sharing. But while Instagram has official apps
both for iOS and Android, the service does not offer an official Web or desktop
interface. If you want to view Instagram photos on the desktop, you need to
find your own solution--perhaps something like Instagrille, a free, slick
application for browsing Instagram.
Instagrille
is an interesting mashup between a desktop app and a Web app, and runs in its
own window, using a free platform called Pokki. It won't let you post new
photos to Instagram, but you can browse popular photos, nearby photos, and your
timeline (if you log in). You can click on a photo to see a larger version of
it, too.
Instagrille's
single-photo page is resizable, and lets you participate in the conversation.
Logged
on, you can do most things you can do on your phone: Follow users, Like photos
(by double-clicking them, just like double-tapping on the phone), comment on
photos, and share them on Facebook and Twitter. Clicking the Share buttons pops
up Twitter or Facebook in a built-in dialog, which you then use to share the
Instagram link. Instagrille also lets you save individual images to your hard
drive as 612 by 612 pixels-large PNG files. The notable omission is posting new
photos, something Instagrille does not let you do.
Instagrille
offers a fun and compelling way to enjoy your Instagram feed without reaching
for a smartphone. If you're constantly draining your phone's battery oohing and
aahing at your friends' beautiful photos, Instagrille can be a nice way to view
that virtual art gallery on a bigger monitor.
