It's a comeback!
Thanks to all who did support me in releasing this update. I was working hard to make InstaBro work again in its shiny manner. There are not much changes since 13 of June when it stopped working. Also I was forced to deal with couple of drawbacks but they are not critical. The main challenge for me was to keep mass fetching/downloading and I've succeeded!
NOTE: This version requires upgraded licenses.
- I deactivate all licenses that were purchased before 1 May.
- If your license is deactivated you can buy a new one for less price – 12$ instead of 20$. Just mail me for a coupon code or you can pay a full price in order to support future updates.
- If you took park in fundraising I will send you new license.
- You can use InstaBro for free as before (with a 10 second timer).

InstaBro is getting more browser capabilities! Now you can browse hashtags and locations as well. And not only type them directly but use Instagram hybrid search to find all relevant results just like on the web site.
Please note, that search results differ when you are signed in and when you are not.
What's new:
- [feature] Search bar - search everything you need on Instagram
- [feature] Hashtags!
- [feature] Locations!
- And lots of small UI improvements and bug fixes
Known issues
- Instagram search does not work well with emoji hashtags. You can add such hashtags directly.
- There's no way to know total media count for location.
- Search also does not work well with locations. Sometimes it's almost impossible to get a specific one.
- Search results depend on authentication. They supposed to be more relevant.
- Instagram refuses to fetch media for some «hot» hashtags that are rich of objectionable content.
Exploring app's data
