Yes, we were all very excited when Instagram came out with horizontal capabilities. I know I was. But if you are still partial to the square format, you can make your own borders with this simple, sleek app. The newest version also has limited text capabilities. ProTip: There is a meme generator at the end of the editor options, who knows you may be the owner of the next Grumpy Cat.

2. VSCO

This is every fashion blogger’s favorite editor app. VSCO is an extensive library of preset filters, that really dwarf the native Instagram options. There are scores of filter collections you can purchase for any vibe. My favorite collection is Vibrant Classic which is perfect for making any plate of boring drunk brunch POP.

3. Over

Do you have something profound and inspirational to say on Instagram? Probably not. But if you DID Over would be the best app to overlay that mind-blowing quote over the picture you took of the ocean on spring break when you were in college.

We’ve all been privy to some amazing photoshop disasters so use this app wisely. You can smooth out your dermatological imperfections or add a little color to your cheekbones, but don’t go overboard or else you may be getting some serious flack from your followers.

5. Instamoji

Add a happy poo emoji! Want to tell someone you love them the millennial way? Stamp some hearts over your eyes. This one is all about fun, so have at it!
