FollowMeter for Instagram 4+

Great!

I think this is a cool app. If you’re in a stalkerish mood you can see all of your secret admirers and stuff and unfollow people who haven’t followed you back if you’re feeling more petty. But I think that it’s preeeetty stupid that you have to PAY to see your secret admirers, ghost followers, etc. also, if you’re really sensitive just don’t get this app. It basically tells you how popular you are and if you can’t handle the truth then I suggest you stay away. I’m okay with the percentage that it gave me, (since I already knew I wasn’t that popular lol), but for those of you who don’t have thick skin; don’t let this app define you. It’s not a huge deal if you’re not that popular according to the app’s standards. I just got this because I wanted to see what it was like. Overall, I think it’s great. But not for those who don’t know how to take criticism.

It worked for maybe a week-then a waste of money

So I was excited to try this out for tracking activity on my account and yes curiosity on who’s lurking about. I’d say the app worked properly for maybe a week before I ran into problems.
Like other reviewers when I’d try to log in (and it started making me have to log in every single time I wanted to use the app) it began to say either “suspicious phishing activity” or “too many refresh requests from Instagram at one time try again later”-it would say this despite me opening the app for the first time that day.
To make it worse, EVERY time I’d log in to this app, it would log me out of my actual account on instagram. If that’s how the app is designed to work than that’s very inconvenient. I would log back in on the actual app then if I can back to Instagram later in the day, not using follow meter between Instagram uses, I’d be logged out again! (I’d say if I decided to use Followmeter, I would subsequently be logged out of Instagram itself around 4 times that day)
Just today I opened my instagram account to see a notification telling me “automated activity has been sensed on this account and will be suspended soon of activity persists” which is why I decided despite PAYING a yearly subscription, I’m deleting the app, waste of my money :/

Developer Response ,

Hi, due to the new updates that instagram has been implementing they have placed in protocols that have made it hard for apps like ours to function. We are doing as best we can to work around this.

Takes your money and doesn’t work, support tells you it’s your fault

I don’t even want to rate this one star. This app hardly ever works, even after paying for premium access the app doesn’t update properly, it locks you out after only following 10 people, forces you to wait half an hour to refresh the app after not even using it for 12 plus hours, and to make matters even better, if you contact app support to try and find out why their app is locking you out of actions you are still able to do through the actual Instagram app or through your browser on instagram, they simply tell you it’s your fault and they can’t help you because “Instagram limits all accounts differently”. Instagram is not limiting anything, as I stated I am able to follow/unfollow and like pictures through the Instagram app and my browser with no issues. The problems are with the app. The response I received from the developers was very rude and unprofessional, they refused to help me because the app “works perfectly for other users”. I don’t know how many times I can contact them to tell them the same thing, that instagram is not limiting my actions, it’s their app. I am able to do everything I want or need to do through Instagram, through my browser, and even through a different tracking app I downloaded, just not with this app.

Hi, as we explained to you through email, scans and unfollowing gets rate limited by Instagram. Our app sends requests for data and whenever Instagram stops sending the data we show you the error. It's as simple as that.
