Recently there has been some controversy on Instagram regarding some questionable photos of exposed body parts, but if you just want to share good clean photos, the PopJam app is a safe place to go.
The app is quite Instagram-like, since it's essentially a photo-sharing network where users can upload photos, get followers, interact with one another, apply special effects to images and view content from friends on a feed.
PopJam also mixes in some other features, like a Snapchat-like ability to draw on images and poke other users like on Facebook. The network was specifically designed as a safe place for those under the age of 13, so parents don't have to worry about them happening upon any inappropriate content.
