You share photos on your Instagram and Facebook accounts and you view photos shared by your friends on these sites. Now, there’s an app that lets you consume photos on these two sites into a single, filter-capable stream. There is no need to check multiple apps with Divvy.

Divvy is a free app up for download on the Apple App Store.
