i prefer steepshot over appics any day and i'm totally supporting their efforts moving forward i know how much it was an issue to get back on the app store after they were pulled and we all got the download it only from the belarus store! -- i asked about if they will bring multiple accounts to the app and it looks like they will ;)

as for the filters and stuff you mentioned of instagram while i agree it's better to copy what existing features people are used to from other platforms it's a case of issues with size of the coding team, resources, engineering team etc -- but now the app is here i'm excited to see how much it get's developed! :) nice review man.
