Growlee

Grow my instagram to 11k followers and no problem so far. I had some temporary blocks by instagram but they went away after a few days. I think instagram lowering their limits to scare us with these temporary limit blocks to only use their ads. But their ads are thousands of pounds and no one like ads.

I wish there would be more guide to use this tool especially non technical people like me. But I figured out how to use it sooner or later. Now it is working fine on a normal speed.

The reviews here are scary so I was worried before I start using it but it turned out the temporary blocks are just a limits going away after a few days then I enjoyed my organic growth to 11k followers. I am saying organic cuz followers interact with me.

It's bad! Your account will be blocked all the time!! And they won't give you your money back. Terrible service!

Be careful of this site. When I signed up, my IG account is blocked until now and these people have the gall to tell me to sign up again. What they have is greed, they don't care what happen to your IG account. Disgusting people.

This is a terrible service. They got my Instagram completely deactivated. They clearly have no idea what they are doing.

Great App!! thank you for your reply

Don鈥檛 do it! I attached 3 accounts to growlee and all of them after a week has been locked. Two of them my business accounts! I have no access now. I am desperate.

My instagram is always growing so I can say Growlee is worth the money, but you should customize before you start. I mean customization of the target hashtags, locations, and users.

I was only using the hashtags, locations, and users they provided automatically at the beginning. I also did not put any of my own comments. That was a mistake I figured out later.

I put my own hashtags about my niche. Hashtags are the most result yielded methods on growlee. Locations and users are also fine but they were not the best I think.

Right now, I only use Story View, Like, Like on Timeline. I don't want to follow other people right now because my account already got lots of followers. But if you don't have many followers you can use Follow and Unfollow as well.

I used to use Comment as well but it needs to be very general that it should fit most of the photos in my hashtags. I don't use it right now because it made my account log out a few times. Reloging again solves the problem so you might try it if you want.

So it had some problems but grows my account constantly and it is the best price because similar services are more than $100 a month.

I refused to subscribe a year because I didn't like the marketing pressure behind it. I was right in my descion to try short term. Worked well for the trial. The staff member running growlee is vindictive to the core. If you complain about the app which I did it immedetiatlty stopped functioning. When I was asked about what was not working and I clearly clearly used strict filters, suddenly my account started interacting with account types I had blacklisted including the countries, areas and hashtags. If you complain, you will be punished. I never had any suspensions or blocks but growlee is for short term use only. Very dangerous app that could ruin your account. That is why I disconnected it and changed my password. Don't think for a second that growlee staff won't act out of spite. I would never recommend the software.

First of all, good old Instagram growing days are over. After 2019, Instagram changed their algorithm that all business accounts' engagement rates were decreased a lot. They made it impossible to grow without paying their ads $100s of dollars. Except this kind of growing tools

I wanted to update my review after using growlee for more than a year(at the end)

Working fine with like and follow features. I don鈥檛 use comments feature because it may offend the photo owner or something so I play safe and use like and follow features.

The fastest feature is story view feature. In a few days it made thousands of views which was impressive for me.

It had some problems about connection at the beginning but when I connect my Instagram account again it worked fine then.

Another thing to take into consideration is targeting. I think targeting is the most important part of this kind of tools. I wish there would be more documentation about targeting in the website.

But for the price asked the service is worth. I don鈥檛 know about other thousand dollars services but people complaining about the expensive services lately because of instagrams action block limitations.

Update:

Now it has been more than a year I am growing my Instagram account with growlee. Well it was an up and down journey but my account has been growing most of the time. Now I want to share my recommendations for the people who want to use it with minimum risk:

1- Use it with Normal speed. If your account is not so old like mine and use it with Very Fast speed, you will get temporary action blocks.

That's why most people get blocks here. You should use it fast if your account has lots of photo and old.

2- Don't use all tools at once. Especially follow unfollow and comment. If you use these 3 at the same time for a long time, you will most likely get an action block. That was my experience for sure.

I mostly used Story View, like and like on timeline with comment or follow sometimes. With this way, I got very few action blocks which were totally fine by me.

3- When you get action blocks for a few days, just turn off everything for a couple of days. Well, we pay for the tool but this is how it works from now on.

The old good days for Instagram is over. If you want to grow you are required to pay expensive ads. I did not choose that route.

With these precautions I was able to grow my account with thousands of followers and more than a thousand likes at my each photo. And I did not pay a penny to ads. It all happened because of this tool, and I am grateful for it even though it gave me action blocks sometimes.

As long as you are ok with a bot interacting and commenting stupid stuff that people totally see as automated messages, and are ok with giving away your credibility, it's good. Posting happy messages on sad posts about Australian fires, or saying hello to on posts about gun violence. In this world action on social media matters, don't give that to a bot or a "dedicated manager" as they call it. Same goes for what you liked. I will stay away from that tool, 10 minutes were enough to see the real dangers.

Way better results this month. I am using growlee since summer. Instagram is very expensive to give ads so I used this account managers for my account.

In a normal day my account manager makes around 200 likes and 1000 story views.

I always have used likes since summer but started to use story views recently and it is going extremely fast. But like is going slower than summer to be honest.

Sometimes I use other actions as well but not much since I don鈥檛 wanna go fast. Like on timeline and unfollow doesn鈥檛 make any problem generally.

I don鈥檛 use post or story scheduling and statistics so can鈥檛 comment about them.

So I would use growlee account managers since givings ads on Instagram is extremely expensive.

UPDATE: 1/6/2020. The key is to make sure Growlee has their proxy settings under the flag count of IG's policing filters. If THEY don't have your account's proxy settings set to a "safe" speed to stay under IG's radar, then it won't work. I re-signed up a couple of days ago and so far it seems to be going okay at the "slow" speed. I'm going to test the "normal" speed to see if I get flagged. Hopefully not! I'm mainly using this for advertising reasons because IG is way too expensive to advertise. I'm not overly concerned about followers any longer because TikTok is going to take over in popularity in the near future.

Stay away from Growlee.co! I subscribed for one of their annual accounts more than 6 months ago. It was working really well during the first 4 weeks. However after that Instagram started suspending my account despite having Growlee set at the slowest setting. Their software is simply outdated and Instagram picks up on it straight away. Jane the admin at Growlee keeps promising updates which do not work. After reconnecting Growlee Instagram would suspend the account for a duration of 1 week where I as a business owner can鈥檛 do any posts or even comments or likes. I鈥檝e raised this with Growlee admin and asked for a refund of my remaining months due to their software not doing what Growlee is promising their customers. After an endless amount of follow ups Growlee admin would get back to me, offering a refund with some outrageous 鈥渂reaking the contract鈥?punishment fees. I find this unacceptable and I would not recommend to sign up for any of their plans at all; its unfortunately a scam!

I tried the free trial and Instagram suspended my account for suspicious activity within the first day of the trial as the service goes against instagrams community guidelines.

Update,

now after applying your suggestions and using your service again I get a 6 day block from Instagram, and you expect people to pay for this? your service is an absolute joke and not worth even a trial!

November 20th 2019 (UPDATE to November 6, 2019 review from JJ): Thank you for your reply. Throughout this month of using your service, I grew about 30 followers (in the past I would grow about a 100 to 200 in a month) and this morning I woke up to now being minus 30 followers (overnight). So, I guess maybe the fake accounts got removed? Or you changed the proxies on my account? I don't know…it's just such a bummer because I really loved your service before the IG police took over.

It started work again. Growlee was not functioning well after summer. But it started make actions this week. More than 100 likes with follows and comments in a day. Give credit where credit is due ?

I really wanted to like Growlee and I have been trying to give them a chance to redeem themselves over the last month before leaving a review, but it's past the point of return.

When I first signed up, it worked great for the first few days…then it stopped working. They advertise their service includes 24/7 customer support but as others have mentioned, it take DAYS to get a response from anyone and most of their responses barely address your issues and feel like a generic response and don't apologize for any inconvenience or take ownership. They "reset" my account and it worked for a few days, and then stopped working again. And it's been a continuous cycle of this for almost a month now.

They have extended my subscription a couple of times after I asked for either a refund or a free month (they gave me 5 days the first time and then increased it to 2 weeks the second time). The last time they responded to me they told me I shouldnt be using my Instagram at all myself because it will cause problems with my account which seems ridiculous – I wanted Growlee to help boost my engagement but not cut out my personal engagement altogether. I can't follow anyone new or simply like a post on my own because I'm told it will make my Growlee not work properly.

At this point my Growlee account hasn't been working properly for about a full week now and I'm pretty convinced if they fix it, it's just going to stop working again in a couple days, so I don't plan on continuing with them after my subscription is up.

And I do not recommend them to anyone. Unless you feel like checking on it every single day to make sure it works, then send emails every single week trying to repeatedly get them to fix it. I have gained some followers and in theory I like the idea of their service, the site is user friendly and I like customized options you can set…. but it just doesn't work smoothly and their customer service is awful. It's not worth the frustration it's caused me and I don't want to use a service that tells me I can't use my Instagram on my own at all.

Their standard plan is effective for Instagram engagement. I use their story view feature most of the time. My account do more than 5000 story views with them. I also use their other action tools but not that much. Statistics and auto schedule looks nice but it is not included in my plan so I don't use. If you are just starting, I recommend to use them for the beginning

New story view feature increased my engagement rate on Instagram. They have lots of feature, some of them does not function properly but this new story view feature made them best tool for me. Now I gain likes and followers everyday. Sometimes there are problems on other actions but they always tell me they are working on it. That鈥檚 why I am giving 4 stars. It is still the best tool and worth money but can be better!

X2 growth for my Instagram so I don鈥檛 need to spend time on it. These guys are working on my Instagram to get more engagement. I had some problems but they solved them and always working on the website so I feel safe. I was contacted by Instagram but I continued to use growlee and didn鈥檛 have a single problem. I鈥檒l continue to use It cuz it is the only genuine way to grow my Instagram account. I鈥檒l edit my review if I ever have bad experience

1000 new organic followers in 2 months and my likes got tripled during that period. I decided to work on my Instagram account then one of my friends mentioned me about growlee. I had started their free trial but I was not sure if it was a real thing or not. I鈥檇 looked at reviews but I was in between then give it a try. Now it is working good. It had some problems but they solved it later. I hope it will always go like this after now

Instagram threatened to shut down my account. I emailed Growlee about this and the NEVER RESPONDED. After paying hundreds of dollars for their service. They'll just take your money. RUN AWAY

Works well when it's working however mine has stopped working and it seems impossible to get hold of these guys yet the money is still going out? The system works perfectly and I would highly recommend it's a shame basic issues cant be resolved as this would be a five star review.

Standard plan increased my engagement. My followers and likes grow organically like x3 tripled. However I think the post scheduling section should be improved. There should be more features for post and story scheduling. I would like to post videos with auto scheduling for example. Overall it worths 40 bucks for an account manager.

Their algorithms are awful, I ended up with loads of follows from 50 year old men which were not my target (I was targetting females interested in skincare). They were spamming completely irrelevant accounts with messages, it was embarrasing I had to deactivate it immediately. I decided to grow my account myself, and Growlee then claimed the followers I gained were because of them (even though i had clearly deactivated my account with them!). Terrible experience, do not do this if you want relevant followers.
