So full transparency, I posted the app because I am a user and I've seen good results. I got it on early January pricing (50% off) which showed that much more value for the yearly package.
I highly recommend it for those who cant run FollowLiker or any other windows based application. This is cloud based and runs well as a set and forget.

@jamilvelji do automation tools like this go against instagram's terms of use?
@bootstrapnyc Would you mind sharing a screenshot of this email?

@bootstrapnyc That's a new one. Have you integrated any apps to your Instagram before? If not that might be why. I had some re authorization hiccups when I first began using it but nothing after that.
This is in flagrant violation to Instagram's TOS. For one, it's a violation of the brand guidelines:
Don't "Use “Instagram,” “IG”, “insta” or “gram” in a way that implies Instagram partnership, sponsorship or endorsement"
Second, the app violates the API TOS:
You shall not:
• Use the Instagram APIs for any application that replicates or attempts to replace the essential user experience of Instagram.com or the Instagram apps.
• Use the Instagram APIs to spam, incentivize, or harass users.
• Participate in any "like", "share", "comment", or "follower" exchange programs.
Use the Instagram APIs to post automated content to Instagram, including likes and comments that were not initiated and entered by an Instagram user.
Tbh I made a bot like this for myself a couple years back. Got 5k followers for my personal account and 10k for my company account. My personal account went through the Instagram fake follower purge recently and now I"m down to ~530 followers.

@tzhongg What do you mean with "fake follower purge"?
that's strange, because using automation on your account properly means you're targeting real people who will then decide to follow you back based on your interactions with them or how cool they thought your page was
this sounds more like you paid someone for fake followers which were quickly deleted when instagram noticed all the empty accounts following you
IG is a great platform to drive user growth for certain communities and I'm sure this can be an awesome tool to help grow your product, but IG is getting better at catching this type of automated activity. In regards to IG's T&Cs: https://help.instagram.com/47874... (see bullet 15)

@VivekMGeorge I've been running it a few weeks now without any issue, but I am using it at slow speeds that are consistent with what I was doing manually before.
