FollowMeter for Instagram Reviews

I don’t even want to rate this one star. FollowMeter hardly ever works, even after paying for premium access FollowMeter doesn’t update properly, it locks you out after only following 10 people, forces you to wait half an hour to refresh FollowMeter after not even using it for 12 plus hours, and to make matters even better, if you contact app support to try and find out why their app is locking you out of actions you are still able to do through the actual Instagram app or through your browser on instagram, they simply tell you it’s your fault and they can’t help you because “Instagram limits all accounts differently”. Instagram is not limiting anything, as I stated I am able to follow/unfollow and like pictures through the Instagram app and my browser with no issues. The problems are with FollowMeter . The response I received from the developers was very rude and unprofessional, they refused to help me because FollowMeter “works perfectly for other users”. I don’t know how many times I can contact them to tell them the same thing, that instagram is not limiting my actions, it’s their app. I am able to do everything I want or need to do through Instagram, through my browser, and even through a different tracking app I downloaded, just not with FollowMeter.

FollowMeter is pretty simple, and nicely designed. But, the unfollow feature is broken, which they confirmed via email a few weeks ago promising a fix, but still nothing. If you unfollow more than about 10 people IG will pause your ability to do so for a little while. That’s fine. FollowMeter says that the feature will work again once it works in the native app, but that never happens. FollowMeter won’t let you unfollow again once you hit that limit. What’s crazy is that I was only unfollowing about 5 accounts per day, still got dinged for it, and then FollowMeter never let me use the feature again. It’s also hella slow. For an app that cost like 7$ or something, it’s just bad. Whatever, still useful to see who isn’t following back, then you can unfollow in the native app.

Anyway, they should fix this before you give them any money. It doesn’t look like they’re going to though. Seems dead in the water.

I am a real person I swear! After reading all the reviews for other apps like followers, etc, FollowMeter had at least SOME good reviews, so I tested it on my finsta first in case a ban happened. It showed me who is not following back immediately after their ad for premium. I did not test any other features. I would suggest recording or screenshotting first, and then going into instagram to manually remove people who don’t follow back. Taking actions through follow apps seems to cause bans on occasion. So does it work for seeing who does not follow you back, and it is a great UI as well. Just be cautious because IG seems to be cracking down.

Tldr; it works to see who is not following you back. Haven’t tested other features.

Previously, I have tried out several Instagram follow trackers but none of them were quite like this app. I started out using the follow meter that is free and I absolutely loved it. It gives you the basics (New followers, Unfollowers, people you unfollowed, people you are not following back, and people who are not following you back)The basics are usually what most people need so if you want an app to do just that and I definitely recommend FollowMeter. I upgraded to premium because I had several accounts that I wanted to monitor and because the premium features (ghost followers, people who blocked you, top Likers, top commenters, secret admirers.) seemed really dope.🤣 FollowMeter is so helpful even if you do not get premium. I definitely recommend it. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Of all the apps I’ve tried, this one works as advertised. Recommended!! Interface is fairly straightforward and I like that unfollowers gets its own category. There are some additional categories you can pay for if you want, but you get plenty of data without them. Get it, you won’t be disappointed.

Two main requests to the devs:
1) I can’t unfollow/follow from within FollowMeter . I get the “your account has been blocked from following” modal, but when I pop over to IG that’s not the case and I can use it as normal. This seems to be a bug on your end and it’s a little annoying to have to switch back and forth when making batch updates to followers. I’d actually be willing to pay if this got fixed.

2) Totally understand that you need to use ads. But the x to close the modal doesn’t work or isn’t accessible on most of them, forcing me to exit FollowMeter and come back in. Would love a patch to that interface issue.

If I had one last request, it would be that the refresh rate is slow. But I understand that might be how FollowMeter “talks” to IG and out of your control. Would be great as a “nice to have” on your roadmap though!

I downloaded FollowMeter the night before for the intentions of viewing who’s unfollowing my account and once I logged in with my Instagram through FollowMeter and I unfollowed a bunch of people, estimated atleast more than 10 in less than 30 minutes. The next morning, I’m unable to access my Instagram, nothing loads and I have a feeling it’s because of the amount of requests of Instagram data from FollowMeter was excessive to where everything shows an error. (Meaning there’s a lot of Cache) and I don’t know what to do, I hope the developers reply as soon as they can because I’m clueless to how to fix this. Now everytime I log in, it’s constant errors. Help me

It’s ability to show me who left my account is valuable, however time is money. I don’t mind ads but for them to pop up when the analysis wheel has reached 99% is an affront to my intelligence, and aggravating. Some of the ads you can't turn off some of the X symbols redirect you to the Internet to see their product / and/ or even direct you instantaneously to the AppStore to force you away from this app- that to me is nearly criminal- and I absolutely don’t appreciate it. It should be enough that I’m looking at the ad for the ( mostly) games that pop up in the advertising- but not the WAY it does - it’s like spyware... I should be able to click off the ad without being forced away from this app-it’s bad, and I might look around for a better alternative to it at this point.

I’ve been using FollowMeter since 2018, and it’s actually worked pretty well, one of the more solid choices since it actually tells you who unfollowed you and blocked you, without FollowMeter maliciously taking over your account. I’ve seen too many reviews like that of different apps, but FollowMeter hasn’t let me down, other than some weird times where it’ll say I lost a follower in IG, but won’t show in FollowMeter . Still, works well and has been very helpful over the past 4 years, just wish they’d update it like they promised they would a long, long time ago. Still no data privacy cards either.

The new version is much nicer. Unfortunately, Instagram has placed restrictions on account API use and will mark accounts for specific limits. FollowMeter can help you stay within the limits and now alerts when operations fail due to limits. It would be nice to get more detail on limits. Updating is much faster with this version and even faster with the paid upgrade. It would be nice to be able to open profiles which fewer clicks. Please keep the unfollowers and not following-back in order; it would be nice to have a sort capability for lists (newest to oldest by my follow date for not following me back, for example)

I’m the type that likes to try things out for myself even if I see a bad review. Well, that was a mistake.
I paid for the PRO features of FollowMeter and it literally does not offer anything different that free version does. Load times are the same (they claim that refresh time speeds up with Pro), and all the features (Admirers, Top Likers/Commenters, and most importantly Ghost Followers) do NOT work. I repeat, they do not work. I cannot stress this enough. This is the deciding factor for the upgrade and the features don’t work? It’s a scam. They don’t offer refunds, and their “Ask a Question (customer service column)” conveniently doesn’t let you enter your email or question (it opens up keyboard and lets you type, but conveniently enough, nothing happens on the screen).
I wish we could report FollowMeter for scam, because that’s exactly what it is.
Shame on you.

I DL’d this to see who wasn’t following back. FollowMeter was super useful for that. But this is the 3rd day I’ve used it. At midnight, I guess it’s supposed to update your stats taking into consideration anyone you’ve followed that hasn’t followed back but it doesn’t take into consideration those who you unfollowed directly in the IG app so it’ll allow you to use one of your like 15 daily unfollow limits to Unfollow someone you’ve already unfollowed! And even after 24 hours it doesn’t update to reflect those ppl were unfollowed unless you unfollowed them in FollowMeter. I’ve got my days worth of use out of it so thanks for that but it’s not something I’ll keep since it doesn’t remain accurate, apparently as far as ppl who don’t follow you back go. The number of followers you have and those you follow will update immediately tho.

I’ve used FollowMeter and it gives a lot of free options for reason you likely downloaded it for. Can basically be fully used for free but if you want personal stats of WHO is doing what on your page then you have to pay and honestly I’d pay for that if I cared enough or once my page is big enough only thing stopping this from being a 5 out of 5 is that it doesn’t show you what you’d be paying for to the full detail extent so i can’t say with certainty that it will have all personal details you looking for but I’d pay for full service if my money was right 💵💵💵

Don’t get me wrong, FollowMeter itself is great and has a lot of excellent features, even without the paid content.
I used it for a few months with no issues and then suddenly my instagram account was locked and I was unable to get back into it because instagram said I had “authorized outside apps to access my account.”
I am now unable to get back into it, and when I made a new account and explained it to my followers, one of them mentioned FollowMeter by name without me bringing it up first and asked if I had used it.
In short: don’t let outside apps use your account.
I’m sure the developers will reply something like “we’re sorry you experienced difficulties with your instagram account, but we are not responsible for that nor behind that.” Haha. Sure, bud. Save the trouble, don’t download FollowMeter.

I’ve tried various apps for my Instagram account, but I’ve found this app to be the most trustworthy and reliable app out there. Sure, you encounter glitches from time to time, but I assure you, that’s coming from the Instagram side. They have an algorithm that I think would confound Albert Einstein; I know that it is meant to protect IG users, but often times it’s a frustrating mess. this app does a great job navigating those waters, and I have found it indispensable in monitoring follower/unfollower activity. To the developers of this app: great job on this five star app, and many thanks to you!

FollowMeter is VERY expensive for what it is. It just gives you some basic data like: followers, unfollowers, ghost followers, blocked accounts etc. When I had less than 1000 followers everything worked fine (occasional hiccups). Once I gained over 1000 followers FollowMeter has been quite useless to be honest. It crashes all the time, doesn’t want to refresh, sometimes I have to wait a day or even longer to refresh all the data. Follow/ unfollow option is constantly blocked for me even when I do not follow/unfollow any accounts on Instagram. I only have 1600 followers, can’t imagine using FollowMeter with 3000+ followers. All in all - very limited, broken app for a very high cost.

FollowMeter is actually pretty neat. Putting aside all the paid options what FollowMeter can do at base level is really cool in that it does what you probably got it for: to tell you who’s unfollowed you. I wish there were some options to make it so that you could watch ads or something to use the other features for free but I get why they don’t give you that option (gotta make money somehow). The free parts of FollowMeter alone are definitely worth the download and I’d highly recommend FollowMeter .

FollowMeter has multiple technical issues. The features often don’t work. For example, the amount of people that unfollowed is incorrect, the number that shows people that don’t follow is false. The worse part that you can’t open FollowMeter often. The main screen is is constantly glitching and does not show images, fields, links and etc. ... just little red dots across the whole screen . Sometime you can’t open FollowMeter for a few days in row. I tried writing and asking questions. No response. And it is not free, I pay monthly fees . Oh, one more thing : if you want to unfollow some accounts, it has limits. You can’t control your own account even if you pay for it!

First off be warned that many features of FollowMeter are locked behind a pay wall. Features that other reviewers mention are not available for the free version. I don’t know how well those features work but the ones available for free would not work. My IG kept losing followers but FollowMeter would not update to show that, so I was unable to see who was unfollowing. It would also list accounts as “not following back” when I could see that we were mutually following each other. What ultimately did it for me were the pop up ads with the x button off-screen so I was unable to close them at all and would have to completely quite FollowMeter .

I purchased a 12-month subscription to FollowMeter and have used this almost for the duration of the subscription but I’m giving this a hard pass.

It gets 1 star for doing the basic, tracking who follows and unfollows you BUT it’s seem buggy and a little sketch.

When there’s a paywall to have your profile featured within their app that’s sketch to me.

When FollowMeter consistently reports that all of your followers have unfollowed you, then immediately reports the same amount of them have refollowed you, that feels sketch. Like it’s refreshing a cache or something behind the scenes where it doesn’t feel that would be necessary.

The constant “cosmetic freezing” of the screen, as their support tram calls it, is annoying and has yet to be resolved, requiring constant force closes to use their app that you pay a subscription for.

For these reasons I give this a hard pass, especially when this is behind a paid subscription. This is not worth your money unless you have a NEED to track your followers and activity.

Hi, I am the owner of a Instagram community page and I would advise you not to use FollowMeter. After using this for a few days I get logged out of my Instagram account. I am still able to log in but I got a message from Instagram saying that I’ve been blocked and limited from following, and posting for a week. The only app I have for social media management is this one on my phone. I don’t use any bots or anything all of my followers are genuine. The Instagram message said I was blocked for using a third party application which is against the guidelines. They classify this application as a third party application and now I’m banned for a week. I might have to cancel my subscription and uninstall when I get access to my account again.

I DL’d this to see who wasn’t following back. FollowMeter was super useful for that. But this is the 3rd day I’ve used it. At midnight, I guess it’s supposed to update your stats taking into consideration anyone you’ve followed that hasn’t followed back but it doesn’t take into consideration those who you unfollowed directly in the IG app so it’ll allow you to use one of your like 15 daily unfollow limits to Unfollow someone you’ve already unfollowed! And even after 24 hours it doesn’t update to reflect those ppl were unfollowed unless you unfollowed them in FollowMeter. I’ve got my days worth of use out of it so thanks for that but it’s not something I’ll keep since it doesn’t remain accurate, apparently as far as ppl who don’t follow you back go. The number of followers you have and those you follow will update immediately tho.

I love FollowMeter because you can see everyone that unfollowed you and everyone who is not following you. You can also see your top likers, top commenters, and your most popular posts. Unfortunately, you have to pay for things like seeing your secret admirers, seeing who blocked you, your top likers and ghost followers. This is not really a problem for me, but I with FollowMeter did reward you with some of the things that you normally have to pay for if you have used FollowMeter for a long time, or maybe around the holidays.

Update. Working as it should. Glad I didn't delete it. I was using Instrack but that seemed to stop working. Got this and paid for several optional features but it doesn't seem to be working. Instrack at least is still telling me I have gained and lost followers even if it doesn't say who.

Update: with most recent update the meter part is gone. What’s up with that???

Update: meter will be reappear in a future update. Definitely recommend for keeping track of follows/unfollows.

I had FollowMeter a looonnnggg time ago and it worked great! But they had some issues with Instagram and the developers shut it down for quite awhile so I deleted it. I just recently decided to re download it and I can’t even get passed the “hello*insert insta name here* please wait while we...” it’s stuck on loading the amount of followers I have. It’s at the right amount so I don’t know why it’s stuck? It’s been like this for days now, I’ve tried deleting it and downloading it again, I’ve kept FollowMeter open for 3 hours!! And that didn’t work either. It’s stuck.. if by a miracle it gets fixed, and is no longer bugging out, I will fix my review

FollowMeter is really good (hence the title) you add your account and it shows u who doesn’t follow you back and who u don’t follow back with amazing accuracy I never had a problem with it and I checked every time before unfollowing and it works my only problem is that you don’t get notifications when I pressed to get them but I’ll see that someone unfollowed me then I’ll have to refresh that takes a little while but overall amazing app I do recommend

I use the free version and it works great so far in regards to keeping track of followers, new followers as well as who has unfollowed you. There's also a nifty little feature that shows who you follow that doesn't follow you back and also who follows you that you don't follow back. Seriously debating getting the paid version for more than one account, top likes, top commenters, secret admirers, ghost followers; and blockers. It might be worth it for a $7.99 one time cost. Thank you this app.

When it works, it’s good. But recent it won’t even stay logged in for me longer than an afternoon. Every time I go to check FollowMeter , it tells me that I have been logged out and I have to go through the process of logging back in and refreshing. How is this going to work in the background or use push notifications if it can’t stay logged into my account?

To make it worse, I paid for the engagements pack, so I’ve spent money on FollowMeter. Buyer beware.

I’ve tried logging out myself and back in, and uninstalling and reinstalling FollowMeter . I’m running the latest update. Problem won’t go away.

I love FollowMeter! I love that it alerts you in your notifications whenever someone unfollows you so you know right away. I also plan to purchase some of the extra features such as "top likers" or "secret admirers" because they're only 99 cents each! Similar apps would change much more for those extra features. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone who wants to keep track of their Instragram account!

I purchased the full app and to be honest FollowMeter is not very accurate. There are free apps out there that are more accurate than this one. FollowMeter has the potential to be the best if they could make sure that it reports accurate information. It is also extremely slow! It literally takes an hour or longer to refresh the data on some of the features that are unlocked once you pay for the upgraded app. Be careful about trusting the info it gives you. I have noticed that it will tell me that someone unfollowed me when in fact they did not.

I tried a couple of these apps before getting to this one, and while it’s not perfect, it’s the best I’ve found so far. I’m glad I don’t have to pay to find out the basics, since I only care about who has unfollowed me. Four stars because it’s a bit slow to refresh and only lets you refresh a certain amount per (undetermined) time period, which is understandable but still frustrating.

This is just dumb I have had FollowMeter for about a month and right when you download FollowMeter it will update you but week after that it just says the same thing and I have a pretty popular account and it says the exact same stats as the day I got FollowMeter and then there is a refreshing thing but you watch an add but then nothing actually happens still same stats as the day I bought it and I have gotten over 300 hundred follower since then so nothing has changed on FollowMeter saying my stats do not recommend it’s a sucky app and you have to pay for pretty much everything on FollowMeter to

Tells me who isn’t following me back and who I’m not following back and gives me an option to unfollow/follow straight from FollowMeter. The only thing is, if you unfollow/follow from IG and not FollowMeter , it doesn’t update. FollowMeter limits how many people you can unfollow/follow at a time so just let it refresh and try every half an hour or so. Also really good for recent unfollowers and followers.
