Seems like an unfair comment. I've had their Boomerang app on my phone for a long time. Made some fun stuff with it in the past, haven't used it in a while, but there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it. Just another niche app.
- ceejayoz 3y agoI don’t think the Boomerang app is theirs. It doesn’t show up in the link of their Google Play apps. If it is, that’s Instagram’s trademark.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoApple allows “for X” and “powered by X” type app names per official policy cited by App Store reviewers There are other patterns they allow that I’m unfamiliar with. Perhaps “X Maker” is one of them because it appears there are many other developer accounts using this pattern from a quick search. The point is that using another trademark isn’t itself a violation necessarily
- ceejayoz 3y agoYes, but the app depicted doesn’t do that. https://about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/introducing-boomerang-video-app https://about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/introducing-b... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boomerang-video-maker/id1454678540 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boomerang-video-maker/id145467...
- SushiHippie 3y agoThe second link you provided isn't the boomerang app from instagram, it looks like the official one does not exist anymore.

- threeseed 3y agoThere are a dozen Boomerang rip-off apps on the App Store. Would be surprised if you're even using theirs.
