The one glaring downside to 4K Stogram is its quite a power hog. Any new posts should automatically save into their designated folders. The folders won’t live update with new photos or videos so every time you want to get everything back in sync, just reopen the app again. Yes, videos are included too, as the number of “unwatched” files also shows up in the progress indicator. You’re also welcome to perform multiple search queries at once and they’ll all start downloading simultaneously. Each collection based on your search is saved in its own folder. You can change this to whatever you like by going to the app’s settings - more on that in a bit. Sure enough, the photos saved in the app’s default location. I didn’t even tell that photos were downloading until I clicked an image and it opened as a file on my computer. If you hover over a post, you get that post’s caption with additional options like the ability to view the original on Instagram.

After all, 4K Stogram isn’t just a large window of downloads, it has an interface too that you can navigate to view the photos. In fact, it’s somewhat hard to tell at first that it’s even downloading. The app will pull what you’re looking for and immediately start downloading that collection of photos in the background.

All that’s necessary is to open the app, then in the search bar at the top type in an Instagram username, hashtag or place - thanks to geotagging - and click Subscribe.
