I am so sorry for all the confusion caused by this situation!
I’d like to assure you that we didn’t have an intention to anyhow mislead you. We have a dedicated page for the apps for the unreleased apps, where it’s mentioned that we are just gathering feedback on this app.
“Now you’ve got a convenient way to pull out your latest Instagram Stories on your website. With our new widget, you’ll get a chance to manually select some particular stories you want to appear on your homepage.” Embed Instagram Stories on your website for free
At the moment, it’s hard to give any specific timeline for this app. However, this year, we have plans to actively develop new widgets, and we’ll prioritize them based on the number of votes they receive.
We promise to keep you informed about any progress
A huge thank you for pointing us in this direction!
I do understand your concerns, and really sorry for all the frustration caused by this situation
We definitely didn’t mean to give you false hopes or mislead anyhow. However, I agree that the info in our New App requests pages needs some improvement, and currently our team is working on it.
Regarding the Instagram Stories app, you see, we prioritize requests based on the complexity of implementation and their popularity. At the moment, we have many requests with higher priority and our devs are actively working on them. You can check them here.
I am afraid, the Instagram Stories won’t be out in the near future, but we promise to keep you informed about any changes here.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, it helps us navigate big time.
