While this isn't really for casual individuals, it allows those die-hard Instagram followers to submit several articles all at once. Our only issue? It is yet to support the new Instagram multi-photo message choice, although we envision support will certainly be being available in the future.
Uplet expenses ₤ 9.99, yet a cost-free (minimal) demonstration could additionally be discovered on the Uplet website. Like Flume, it's not offered on the Mac App Shop.
