Pros

  • You can make use out of it easily.
  • It works lightning quick.
  • You can download the Instagram Photos.

Cons

  • Sometimes copying and pasting a link can be next to impossible.
  • The program doesn't let you download photos.
  • It's impossible to preview a program.

It all started as a nice thought to add convenience to the users of Instagram, but unfortunately, Instagram Downloader is a software rife with its fair share of problems. Where does it help users? The program will help you with downloading pictures as needed and hosting them on an Instagram account. You can collect all the photos needed through your account, and this software includes a search engine where you can enter the names of the users you want to download your photos. You can also choose to set your privacy options with your account through this program.

How the Privacy Works

The way the privacy options work, if the account in question will allow them, the users you want to see your pictures will have access to them through a link of all the photos hosted within Instagram Download. The utility of this is how it provides you with links for popular categories like, "Photos of the Day," and the most popular pictures found on Instagram.

Not Quite Practical

We'd love to think this program has a lot of practical value, but unfortunately, the reality is a little different. Despite the minimalist interface, the results will quickly appear, and Instagram Downloader ultimately proves highly impractical for the downloading of photos. It doesn't let you download. Instead you will have to attempt to recover the links. After that point, you will carry out copying and pasting and recovery for the pictures. Along with that, you can't preview the pictures, and this software unfortunately suffers from plenty of connection errors that can lead to tons of frustration later.

How to Use the Download Manager

It would have been advantageous if Instagram Downloader had integrated the files from the download manager. Instead of providing a long list with links that can start to feel overwhelming, and the scattered appearance rests in shambles. Those who have the patience for it, you may find that you like to use this software with jDownloader because you can send links using the Instagram Downloader. You do have some practical value, but unfortunately, the people it satisfies are a small crowd that is few and far between.

In all truth, we don't necessarily recommend that you download this software. It just doesn't have the practical value, and you can find much better software out there to help. Instagram Downloader still might satisfy those who make use out of jDownloader, but otherwise, you probably won't have any reason to download this and have it take up space on your computer hard drive. One of the advantages, however, is that it's free so you don't lose anything in trying it out.
