Instagram is one of the hottest photo-sharing apps around and there are a ton of tools that make it even better. Here are a few of our favorites.

InstaCollage lets you create a collage of photos in a variety of templates. Add in the photos of your choice to create hearts, triangles even honeycombs. These collages don't need any scissors or glue. The app is free at Apple's App Store and Google Play.

Tired of taking screenshots when you want to "Regram" a photo? Try an app called Repost. Connect it to your Instagram account to see a feed, and then choose a photo to repost. The app adds a bar that shows where the original photo came from. The app is free at Apple's App Store.

An app called InstaQuote lets you create quotes that you can post to Instagram. Pick a background, and then double tap to write a message. You can pick a couple of different font colors to add punch. The app is free at Apple's App Store and Google Play.

Looking to add some extra dimension to your "Insta-life"? An app called InstaFisheye is an amazing way to bring variety to your photos. Choose a Fisheye lens, take a photo or video and then add an effect. The app comes with a few free filter packs, but you'll have to purchase the rest. The app is $1.99 at Apple's App Store and Google Play.

If you want to add text to your photos, Overgram is a simple tool that lets you crop a photo into a square and add text over it. The app is free at Apple's App Store.
