One of the biggest problems with the Windows Phone OS is the lack of availability for popular apps.  Up until now, popular apps such as Instagram have been missing from the WP Store, but this are now changing up.

You can comment, view photos and even use tags.  There are several other features missing, but they will come in future updates.

Instagram has recently reached 150 million active users.  The photo sharing platform continues to grow, with Instagram leading the pack.
