@alexandramalis @bramk @combin Was looking for one such tool to help grow my Instagram follower base! Looks helpful. Will let you know my feedback! Thanks.

@sagar868 Feel free to test it! Very curious for your feedback.

@alexandramalis Installed the app and did few searches. Results are, 1. Hashtag: mobilephotography Place: Karnataka Posted: Last day Search Limit: 50 Result: Found 2 (After a search time of about 2mins or so) 2. Hashtag: colorplay Place: Anywhere Posted: Last day Search Limit: 50 Result: Found 50 (After a search time of about 2mins or so) 3. Hashtag: smartphonephotography Place: Anywhere Posted: Last day Search Limit: 50 Result: Found 50 (After a search time of about 2mins or so) 4. Hashtag: smartphonephotography Place: New York Posted: Last day Search Limit: 50 Result: Found 0 (Forever) 5. Hashtag: smartphonephotography Place: New York Posted: Last Week Search Limit: 50 Result: Found 0 (Forever) Have to admit in the above two cases when it worked beautifully then it produced Awesome results too! Got what exactly I wanted to target and no bullshit. But I wonder why it didn't work in case of New York and Karnataka. May be there is some issue with the search based on location? I thought it would be very useful if you have a video to help the users in carrying out basic operations initially! Having said all this I will definitely advocate this tool for all the business or photography related Instagramming for sure! Hope to see the enhanced/fixed and new features like statistics, post-performance analysis etc in the near future! Cheers for giving a great tool! Thanks.

@sagar868 Sagar, thank you for your feedback, I've repeated the test and I've found only 19 photos wit hashtags #mobilephotography in Karnataka and 0 photos for a hashtag #smartphonephtography in New York for the lifetime period. In this version, Combin search engine is searching for the photos in the location that person has mentioned in the post, so it doesn't mean that it covers the geographic area. In the next version we would introduce the map, so the search engine will search in the defined radius covering all location items like commercial objects or sights. In your case, I would recommend to search just in popular locations or use more popular hashtags, I found this beautiful one # explorekarnataka. Small tip: If you run out of popular hashtags related to your content and have no idea what to search for next, try looking up the hottest posts from old searches and checking out what tags they include, click on the post item, select "Add a search" and see all hashtags that you can search within.

@alexandramalis Thank for that tip, will try that for sure. Like wise if you can put a video with such tips then it will be of vital help to new users. Please think over this! When do you plan to give that update for the next version? And any plans for a mobile app?

@ashpangeek The application doesn't store your login or password, it calls for the access token from Instagram, so you can log in with your credentials, would it be more convenient to you to login on the OAuth webpage?

@alexandramalis @ashpangeek Yeah, I won't touch this unless you use their Auth.

@alexandramalis That doesn't exactly make sense to me. I can log in with my credentials from the Instagram oauth page. But yes, please do it the official way.

@dshan This. I got excited about the product and all, but the moment I saw a plain text login form within the app, I stopped right there and then. @alexandramalis Please add OAuth and I'm sold 🙏 Might be convenient if you announce it via newsletter once implemented.

@tsoulichakib @dshan @ashpangeek Ok, noticed, will do.

@steveraffner Thank you for kind words, Steve!

@jeremiahsingh Ahh sorry for that, we will definitely improve our emails submission form. btw, can't wait for your feedback!

@irvingooi Ahh, we waited for this question! Combin follows the Instagram API guidelines, it's prohibited to use bots or participate in any other exchange networks for likes, comments and follows. When you click to leave the like or comment, you give the permission to application to do it on your part, this is permitted, please see the points 20, 21 and 22 https://www.instagram.com/about/... Combin doesn't use any bots or fake accounts. Concerning the pricing question, yes the free version will be free, what do you mean about Lite paid version?

@alexandramalis Glad to know that Combin is working within the boundaries of the API guidelines! I've been waiting waiting for an app like yours for a while now -- something that allows users to crawl users and photos for manual engagement. It streamlines the entire process on a desktop setting :) Ignore my comment on 'lite' paid. I was just curious if free will be deprecated. If so, then perhaps a cheaper lite version might be useful.

@irvingooi thanks for the kind feedback! yes, we designed the post preview to avoid that awkward, out-of-place comments :) We will think about cheaper lite version as well!

@alexandramalis Cool! Will test it on one of my accounts before using it on my main brand account. I want to get a feel for the crawl limits. Btw, could you explain the "Intensity" settings? Is that the rate at which Combin scrapes users/hashtags?

@irvingooi Intensity is the time interval for actions performing, we recommend to setup it on Optimal.

@gnownad Thank you for your kind words, Dan, we hope you will enjoy using it!

@mohitghate Yes please, we are very curious about it! Normally should work perfectly everywhere...

@ramgangisetty Thanks for your interest, Ram, normally it should take 1-2 minutes, it's depending on the search criteria and on the popularity of hashtags.

@alexandramalis I'm still looking at a blank screen for two of my searches. One of my other search (#math, US) gave me one result. Sorry, I'm out.

@ramgangisetty Ram, this example shows that people do not often mention location US in general. I would suggest to try searching this hashtag in some universities or schools locations.

@ramgangisetty small update, I've tried to search for #math in MIT and got 163 results so far :)

@kevinbryantlou great, enjoy using it!

@arsenbenda Aresen, could you please email us at support@combin.com? We will guide you to send us logs files to fix this issue.

@itsjlev Welcome on board, Justin! You can find your followings in Users section, so you can interact with them.

@alexandramalis Thanks. Two more feature requests: 1. Be able to avoid following/unfollowing people you've already followed/unfollowed. 2. Being able to drag and select users. Right now its either Select All or Manually click one by one. Sometimes I'd like to just drag and select an amount

@itsjlev 1. After the search, you can click on Filter button and select Hide followers or Hide followings and then have a selection of completely new users. 2. We will take it into our future features list as well as private accounts filter, thanks for suggestions, they are making sense!

@duncanjcarter thanks, it makes us happy !

@famouslabs funny, we received already a lot of requests to do the same tool for twitter, will check Hypergrowth tool.
