I got to step 3 and it said Post the Boomerang? What the hell does that mean?

A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.

Yeah, a lot of these were lessened because the task was easy without any knowledge. I like the iPod one because the UX would be unfamiliar to someone who didn't use it. But things like "Type {phrase} into the search box" are really just a lame way to make a reference.

I guess sending something BACK, so I hit the "your story" button. Don't even know which app that was supposed to be.

Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.
