Although it allows us to download Instagram videos to an iOS device as well as repost them to Instagram or Vine as a video producer, Repostly still has some flaws you need to know: 1. There is no iPad version of the app so you have to download the iPhone version in the Apple app store. 2. The user interface is not clean because of so many advertisements. 3. Every video, no matter saved or reposted, has a watermark on the bottom and the app will charge if you want to clear it up.
