I wish there would be more guide to use this tool especially non technical people like me. But I figured out how to use it sooner or later. Now it is working fine on a normal speed.
The reviews here are scary so I was worried before I start using it but it turned out the temporary blocks are just a limits going away after a few days then I enjoyed my organic growth to 11k followers. I am saying organic cuz followers interact with me.

I was only using the hashtags, locations, and users they provided automatically at the beginning. I also did not put any of my own comments. That was a mistake I figured out later.
I put my own hashtags about my niche. Hashtags are the most result yielded methods on growlee. Locations and users are also fine but they were not the best I think.
Right now, I only use Story View, Like, Like on Timeline. I don't want to follow other people right now because my account already got lots of followers. But if you don't have many followers you can use Follow and Unfollow as well.
I used to use Comment as well but it needs to be very general that it should fit most of the photos in my hashtags. I don't use it right now because it made my account log out a few times. Reloging again solves the problem so you might try it if you want.
So it had some problems but grows my account constantly and it is the best price because similar services are more than $100 a month.

I wanted to update my review after using growlee for more than a year(at the end)
Working fine with like and follow features. I don鈥檛 use comments feature because it may offend the photo owner or something so I play safe and use like and follow features.
The fastest feature is story view feature. In a few days it made thousands of views which was impressive for me.
It had some problems about connection at the beginning but when I connect my Instagram account again it worked fine then.
Another thing to take into consideration is targeting. I think targeting is the most important part of this kind of tools. I wish there would be more documentation about targeting in the website.
But for the price asked the service is worth. I don鈥檛 know about other thousand dollars services but people complaining about the expensive services lately because of instagrams action block limitations.
Update:
Now it has been more than a year I am growing my Instagram account with growlee. Well it was an up and down journey but my account has been growing most of the time. Now I want to share my recommendations for the people who want to use it with minimum risk:
1- Use it with Normal speed. If your account is not so old like mine and use it with Very Fast speed, you will get temporary action blocks.
That's why most people get blocks here. You should use it fast if your account has lots of photo and old.
2- Don't use all tools at once. Especially follow unfollow and comment. If you use these 3 at the same time for a long time, you will most likely get an action block. That was my experience for sure.
I mostly used Story View, like and like on timeline with comment or follow sometimes. With this way, I got very few action blocks which were totally fine by me.
3- When you get action blocks for a few days, just turn off everything for a couple of days. Well, we pay for the tool but this is how it works from now on.
The old good days for Instagram is over. If you want to grow you are required to pay expensive ads. I did not choose that route.
With these precautions I was able to grow my account with thousands of followers and more than a thousand likes at my each photo. And I did not pay a penny to ads. It all happened because of this tool, and I am grateful for it even though it gave me action blocks sometimes.

In a normal day my account manager makes around 200 likes and 1000 story views.
I always have used likes since summer but started to use story views recently and it is going extremely fast. But like is going slower than summer to be honest.
Sometimes I use other actions as well but not much since I don鈥檛 wanna go fast. Like on timeline and unfollow doesn鈥檛 make any problem generally.
I don鈥檛 use post or story scheduling and statistics so can鈥檛 comment about them.
So I would use growlee account managers since givings ads on Instagram is extremely expensive.

Update,
now after applying your suggestions and using your service again I get a 6 day block from Instagram, and you expect people to pay for this? your service is an absolute joke and not worth even a trial!

When I first signed up, it worked great for the first few days…then it stopped working. They advertise their service includes 24/7 customer support but as others have mentioned, it take DAYS to get a response from anyone and most of their responses barely address your issues and feel like a generic response and don't apologize for any inconvenience or take ownership. They "reset" my account and it worked for a few days, and then stopped working again. And it's been a continuous cycle of this for almost a month now.
They have extended my subscription a couple of times after I asked for either a refund or a free month (they gave me 5 days the first time and then increased it to 2 weeks the second time). The last time they responded to me they told me I shouldnt be using my Instagram at all myself because it will cause problems with my account which seems ridiculous – I wanted Growlee to help boost my engagement but not cut out my personal engagement altogether. I can't follow anyone new or simply like a post on my own because I'm told it will make my Growlee not work properly.
At this point my Growlee account hasn't been working properly for about a full week now and I'm pretty convinced if they fix it, it's just going to stop working again in a couple days, so I don't plan on continuing with them after my subscription is up.
And I do not recommend them to anyone. Unless you feel like checking on it every single day to make sure it works, then send emails every single week trying to repeatedly get them to fix it. I have gained some followers and in theory I like the idea of their service, the site is user friendly and I like customized options you can set…. but it just doesn't work smoothly and their customer service is awful. It's not worth the frustration it's caused me and I don't want to use a service that tells me I can't use my Instagram on my own at all.
