You can open instagram app by username like,

 NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://user?username=USERNAME"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:instagramURL];
}

You can refer iPhone Hooks of Instagram for more ways and details about api!!!

Update :

Replace below line,

 NSString *instagramURL = @"instagram://app";

with

   NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];

You are assigning directly string as url!!
