What is Instasize: Photo Editor + Picture Collage Maker?

As a photo editing app that enables users to add filters, text, and collage frames to their pictures, Instasize can be used to perfectly edit your posts before uploading them to popular social networking sites, like Instagram and Facebook.

 

This app is available for both iOS and Android devices and is rated for users of all ages.  Instasize features both in-app purchases and advertisements.

 

Users do not need to create an account in order to use Instasize. Once the app is downloaded, simply press the blue “+” button at the bottom of the app in order to begin editing a photo.

 

You will be prompted to select the format of what you are editing, and can then access your camera roll in order to choose the photos or videos you would like to use.

 

The buttons at the bottom of the app allow you to select different filters and adjust settings such as contrast, exposure, and smoothing. Additionally, you can choose different fonts for your text, add borders to your photos, and crop pictures.

 

When you are using the app, you will notice that some features are only accessible if you have a premium account. If you would like to access these features, you can make an in-app purchase of $4.99 per month in order to upgrade.

 

Although most users enjoy the app, some have reported that they do not like having to pay to access certain edit choices.  

Is Instasize: Photo Editor + Picture Collage Maker safe for my kids?

Instasize does not require any age verification and is safe for users of all ages

It is important for parents to know that the app does not restrict users’ content in anyway, and users can take pictures and videos of whatever they like, even if the subject matter is inappropriate. 

Additionally, the app does allow users to directly upload their photos to many social networking sites, including Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook. 

The app does not require you to create an account, meaning that very little personal information is shared with the developer. However, the app does have access to users’ camera rolls and location data.  

It is impossible for users to communicate through the app, thus preventing the threat of children coming into contact with online predators or cyber bullies. Other users are not able to see what photos your child has edited directly through the account, unless your child posts them to social networking sites.  

If you are concerned about what content your child is editing and where they are posting these photos and videos, make sure to supervise their use of the app and have a conversation about expectations.
