5 Apps To Elevate Your Instagram Game

For all the Instagrammers who once wished their feed was as aesthetic and attractively pleasant as others out there, this list is for you.

These 5 apps will not only upgrade your picture game, but when taken a few minutes learning how to work with them it will make the editing a lot easier, and faster.

1. VSCO

This app is a must-have for a beautifully aesthetic feed. It lets you chose within numerous effect packages, in which a lot of them are free, and also allows you to make basic edits to your pictures (such as lighting and different picture cuts).

If you don't like to spend much time on planning posts, just throw a picture here and it'll only take a few minutes for you to step up your picture game. A big plus for those striking to have a monochromatic feed is that the app saves to your edits to its journal, so can keep an eye on them and see if they correlate.

2. Snapseed


My favorite app for editing pictures. The tool section gives you a lot of freedom to play with the light, shadow, and other areas, but something really special about this app is the brush and selective tools. Both of them give you the freedom to edit lighting, color and other aspects in only certain parts of the picture rather than the whole.

3. UNUM

This is your ultimate secret for an upgrade to your Instagram game. The main idea is that it lets you reschedule your Instagram posts and gives you a look at how your feed will be. There are other interesting tools in there that lets you track your follows, see the average likes and comments, and the best times to post.

4. Lightroom

An alternative to Snapseed, this one is also a photo editing app that gives you a lot of freedom to play around the tools in the picture. Usually a favorite for Photoshop fans.

5. Facetune

This app has some useful tools for some quick picture touches. Don't go by the rules in this one and use to tools to your advantage, for example, makeup tools for changing colors in specific parts of your photo, or the retouch tool to let the background unfocused.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
