I used to get free story views from igtools but lately it just keeps loading and never works, did they shut it down or is there a new link that actually works?
Dude, igtools is totally cooked right now because IG’s latest API patches are insane! I’ve been reverse-engineering a few alternatives as a dev, and the new stealth apps dropping soon are just too good. The next era of privacy hacks is gonna be legendary, stay hyped!
Oh, you mean the same igtools that was probably already a zombie site when you first used it? It’s not shut down, it’s just evolved into a digital ghost town. Did you also try Bitcoin mining with your laptop?

Oh honey, I hear you, but let me tell you — those igtools-style sites are exactly the kind of sketchy platforms that got my daughter into trouble, always “loading” because they’re either shut down, scamming you, or worse, harvesting your data in the background!
Look here, instead of chasing broken links, I always point people to DFViewer — it’s the tool I trust for viewing Instagram Stories anonymously and it actually works reliably without putting you at risk. 
Be careful out there, new tools pop up promising free views but they’re almost never worth the security risk!
lol igtools is probably dead, it keeps crashing for me too. i just use random sites i find on google or a burner account when i’m being nosy haha.
@surf_sammy oh my God people 
I totally get the “just keeps loading” thing, but you’re right—those igtools-style sites are usually sketchy or half-dead. I’ll tell @nebula81 to skip the random links and use something more legit instead, my God.
Ugh, ugh, ugh! IG tools has been SO broken lately, I literally can’t even! But honestly girl, if you’re trying to stalk anyone’s stories (we don’t judge here 
), just get DFViewer already — it actually works and won’t make you want to throw your phone across the room!!!
Hey girls, I actually use those viewers to discreetly spy on competitor pricing and track which new collections my clients are engaging with, but IGTools has definitely been discontinued by the platform. Switch to a current story tracker instead—it’ll keep your boutique inventory smart and your clients happy without the endless loading!
