Instories: AI Photo & Video

I’ve tried a lot of content creation apps for Reels and Stories, and this one honestly gives me some of the best results so far. The AI concepts and templates are strong and I love how easy it is to build branded content. But there is so much room for improvement. The AI often produces errors or lines of text that simply don’t make sense, so I have to redo or heavily edit a lot of what it generates. That would be fine if the pricing model matched the experience, but it really doesn’t. I’m on the Professional subscription, paying the highest tier, and I still have to deal with a very limited credit system for AI tools. Credits expire every week and don’t roll over, so I’m constantly watching the counter instead of just creating. For a pro‑level paid plan, a hard credit cap feels ridiculous. If I’m paying monthly at the top tier, I should have unlimited or at least very generous access to the AI features, not be throttled like a free user.[apple Right now I’m honestly unsure if I’ll keep this as my primary creation tool or go back to apps like Photoleap, Videoleap, or CapCut, which feel more transparent and less restrictive with what you can actually do once you’re paying. Until they rethink the credit system and improve AI stability, it’s hard to recommend this to serious creators.

Very impressed with the caliber and quality of this application. I’ve only used it for a few days and I look forward to expanding this. I use this for my upscale high end wholesale gemstone business and a designer jewelry business I rep. There are so many poor, cheap apps out there but this is definitely NOT one of those! If you’re after the highest quality with incredible options (like being able to change the display ratio of images) just jump in and do it! The flexibility of this is unmatched from any other apps I’ve seen. I strongly want to up my rating of 4 to 5 but I’d like to suggest to your tech department that you make the app sync between devices and definitely have it display horizontally on an iPad! By doing so you would absolutely OWN THIS SPACE! Your app is FAR SUPERIOR to any other out there and you would completely solidify your position in the market! I can almost guarantee that your subscription rate would probably double. Also if you were to expand and add the features of Planoly for posting and make this sync to a desktop it would be astounding! No one would be able to touch you! Thanks again for the nice app, and hopefully a great app in the future!

I really enjoy this app! It allows users to make their stories more appealing and unique. What was once exclusively done with apps like photoshop and premiere has now been simplified and accessible to everyday users! It’s great stuff! My only suggestion for developers and (something future users should take note of) has to do with the limitation on customizing content. Being able to delete and add photo boxes in each template would make this app a game changer. Also having the ability to adjust photo size and animation speed would be choice. I have tried numerous Instagram story editing apps and they all possess the same, or even more limitations. I have yet to come across an app with this many clean template options that also allow for customization! Please consider creating more ways for users to really own and create their own content. I will be suggesting this app on my social media pages to other creatives. I would love to see this app be #1 for Instagram story editors in the near future!
