4 stars: This app is actually good, but I often experience lagging and glitches, especially when viewing the stories of the people I follow. I don't like how it starts to lag when I tap through stories quickly. I do like the idea that you've increased the number of videos and photos we can post, but I've also noticed that the quality of posted pictures and videos has gotten a bit worse. Please fix your app for a better experience.
3 stars: I use instagram a LOT, so I enjoy it quite a bit. I do have some fundamental issues, though. For an image sharing website, it really lacks photo editing, especially with AI becoming more involved with the platform. There is also a lack of video editing options for a platform that promotes making reels. I'm usually better off editing my photos and videos on a separate platform, which isn't ideal.
2 stars: Whenever there's an issue with this app, I check to see if there's been an update. Imagine my surprise (or lack thereof) when I couldn't load comments or react to messages (can only reply) and I found there was an update the night before. Tried uninstalling and that didn't work. Please stop
