That's not an easy task inside ios, so the app got popular taking advantage of a deficiency of ios.

As apple have a good trendy appeal, leaving the app exclusive and only allowing posts from ios they took their share of apple's Glam and became an important social 'thing'.

I guess this express how it grew, and why it is not a photo-fix app. For photo-fix and cool effects, android and ios have a lot better options. ^^


Huh? There's no hassle in taking a pic & posting it online. It is an easy task. Lol. Get your facts straight.
