The one thing that bothers me more than it should is that their image viewing totally sucks.

You can't enlarge an image you're viewing. Designed for mobile first, yet the size you view an image at is tied to whatever size your phone screen is. Why? I'm sure the image they are sending over the wire isn't at all as small as your screen, so why restrict it like that?

Based on discussions with my wife and her friends, that's a feature, not a bug. You can post beach pictures for example, and be relatively comfortable knowing that people can't (casually) zoom in.

IG introduced pinch to zoom just a while back fwiw

I discovered it on accident

Wow, that makes the app so much better for what I use it for (following Instagram girls obviously)
