Thanks! The app was designed by @alexsailer and developed by me, @wlindner.

I've always wondered the same thing, and I think it's because all of the location data in the Instagram app comes from Foursquare. It would be really competitive with Foursquare if Instagram could search locations, so I don't think Foursquare will let them. That being said, all of this could change with Facebook places instead of Foursquare locations: http://www.fastcompany.com/3028166/instagram-testing-faceboo...
