Think people were anxiously awaiting Instagram for Android? In about a day, the photo-sharing app has logged at least 1 million downloads from the Google Play Store.

Mashable points out that the Play Store says it has 1-5 million downloads, so we don’t know the exact number. Regardless, it’s quite an impressive debut even if it wasn’t without a few stumbles.
