Maybe, it's better to use Instagram and create a lot of posts, like a beginner blogger.

It simply stopped working. Luckily I did not pay for the Pro version. See all review below: DO NOT BUY or DOWNLOAD! Apparently there is no customer service.

The app has an embedded provisioning profile that has expired so the ap won’t launch. The developers would need to renew it… The console reports: error 10:56:59.948909-0400 taskgated-helper embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/Flume.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-211 "Provisioning profile has expired."

I agree with Alex above. Flume is fraudulent. Mine has stopped working altogether, no backup, no explanation nothing. In fact, they still seem to be selling it!

The app was working fine until a few weeks ago. Then it just kept crashing. I have tried to contact support but there is nothing. Not on their support portal or on twitter. Looks like they took the money and ran. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP

I have a 2013 retina MBP running Sierra 10.12.6 and a 2019 touchbar MBP running Catalina 10.15.7. Both have had Flume installed and nothing has recently changed on either except Flume will no longer launch. Upon being prompted, I've sent a report to Apple. Flume Support is non-existent. As a paying customer, I'm not sure what to do, aside from encouraging others to not do the same.

What a shock (maybe not) to find Flume crashed when I tried to open it today. Looks like its been an issue for a while now judging from the comments here. Before Facebook gobbled up IG, I could use a third party plugin inside Lightroom to upload photos directly into my IG page. It was great and so easy. AFB (After Facebook), that plugin stopped working and I eventually found Flume. Flume Pro gave me a way to upload photos to my IG account, not as easily as before but doable. And now that is gone too. As a student of Buddhism, I understand the impermanence of the world. Enjoy what you have today because it will be gone tomorrow. But if you f**king take my money and then turn a round and disable a product, well instant karma is going to get you!!

Flume has always seemed completely reputable and honest. Their problem is Facebook/Instagram IT-Military Industrial Complex, which continually and without warning changes their API in order to make third-party apps like Flume inoperative on their platform. They want users within the barbed wire red zone of Facebook exclusivity. It's my guess Flume developers have finally been worn down and outpaced by Instagram specifically, in their inability to re-code access for otherwise satisfied users like us. It's too bad. It's been a much better experience via Flume than directly on Instagram... The villains are Facebook/Instagram management, not Flume...

Don't download or buy this app. It does't work, has absolutely no support and could be dangerous. It seems to have been a well planned scam right from the beginning.
