iOS App of the Day: Textgram
For anyone who uses and loves Instagram the only thing the service doesn’t provide you with is a means to share a message with your followers. You could type a message on your notepad, take a screen shot of the image, and then upload it to Instagram, but that is a huge pain. Thankfully, there is an app called Textgram that gives you the ability to write a message and choose a unique background to share your thoughts with all of your friends. It’s a simple but useful app that acts as the perfect companion for all of the Instagram addicts out there.
Pros:
- A fun way to share your thoughts with your friends on Instagram
- App comes with a variety of Textgram background options
- Add photos to your Textgram
- You can save the Textgram to your gallery or send it direct to Instagram
Cons:
- App costs $0.99
- The cool backgrounds are in-app purchases
How it works:
- Download the app
- Type your message
- Choose your background image
- Double click on the message to add a photo
- Tap on send to either save the Textgram to your device’s gallery or send to Instagram
Conclusion:
Textgram is a no-frills app that does exactly what it promises. I love that you can write a message, choose a background, and instantly share the Textgram with your Instagram followers. The app does give you the option to save the Textgram to your device’s gallery. This is helpful if you don’t have Instagram and just want to send a cool message either via text to a friend, or share the Textgram on any of your other social media networks. This may not be an app that you use everyday, but it’s a great download choice if you use Instagram frequently. Check it out and let us know what you think about Textgram.
