USELESS

This app is useless on an iPad 3. Cannot log in to Flickr through Yahoo account. Dont waste your time.

I use this site for the groups mostly

I use this site a lot. The only complaint I really have is that you cant read group discussions on the app. Therefore I cant get the Weeks theme for some groups I belong to. I also cannot access the new version!!!!!

Great app for meeting people with same interests

See the world, meet new people and share.

Latest version no good.

Version 4.3.1 does not allow login to my account! Needs fixing!

Awesome

Best photography application out here. The social aspect with community sharing is great. Ive met a lot of photographers thru Flickr. Yahoo!s gold

What went wrong!?!?

After I downloaded the most recent update 0816/17 I can no longer put uploaded photos into albums that were originally screen shots! This needs to be fix asap.

Terrible

Update wont even open. Downloaded twice.

Fantastic!

I am over-the-moon happy with Flickr. Finally, now that Ive found the app, I dont have to take up storage space on my phone with hundreds of pictures- and I dont have to pay for lousy iCloud storage either!! I love the ease of organizing my photos into albums and sharing to relevant groups. Also much easier to share my photos with friends and family!

Treeeeeeeeeeview

Personally, I love flickr and its my place to share all my photos. But I do a lot of my uploading/organizing on the computer because the mobile app is lacking a lot of key features that the website has. I hope that one day everything transfers over and will be up to par with the computer flickr.

4.3.1 totally broken on iPhone & iPad

No photos, spinning cursors abound, nothing works. Worse update ever!!!

Five to One Star with this Update

Started after update and just hangs on splash screen. The Sign In link across the bottom does nothing. Tried restarting my phone. Un-installed & re-installed. Uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled. Nothing.

Better, but problems

The cache can be cleared now! Great. But tags can no longer be added. Replying to comments although supported now is a pain in the neck. No where can you see what you are typing. Fix this stuff and it will be a 5+ star app.

Cannot view my photos

My Flickr app automatically updated a few hours ago and now I cannot see anything. All of the photos are pixelated and it has a triangle inside the pixelated picture with an exclamation Symbol inside it. This is awful! I tried to delete the app off my iPhone and reinstall it, so now it wont let me sign back in. It just keeps loading and loading and loading. This is so annoying!!

Cant login - just freezes on first screen

Ive usually rated this app 5 stars but this build is useless as upon reinstall (due to uploads being stuck) it wont let me past the first screen that has the onboarding image and sign-in button. The UI is completely non-responsive and a spinner is spinning indefinitely (1 hour so far).

App Update doesnt work!

Version 4.3.1 does not work on my iPhone 6. App wont start anymore!

Freeze on login after latest update

After latest update application freeze on login. Sigh out and reinstall didnt help. Please fix it.

It keeps getting better and better (finally can clear cache!)

Flickr has made huge strides toward making its iOS app into a one-stop shop for online storage and organization of all my photos. Im over-the-top grateful Flickr has finally added a cache killer in the settings menu. This was the single biggest gripe I and MANY people have had with the app. It grows to hundreds of megabytes—even many gigabytes in some cases—due to an out-of-control cache. A means to clear it without having to delete and reinstall the app is much appreciated. I would be convinced to hand over that fifth rating star if, in addition to manual clearing, users were able to set a size limit and have the oldest cache items automatically clear if the total size goes over the defined limit. The areas I feel are most in need of improvement are: (1) Album editing (particularly manual sorting). (2) Expanded metadata editing (including location data and image type—I upload iOS screenshots often and have to go to a computer to change the type to screenshot). (3) Ask before automatically creating a guest pass when I (pretty much always accidentally) share an image that I havent yet made public. (4) Restore the ability, when sharing to Facebook, to upload an actual copy of the photo into an album on Facebook rather than only posting a link.

Can No Longer View ANY PHOTOS!

Sure, the rotating scroll bar still turned for a few moments upon the app startup, but I cant see ANY OF MY PHOTOS! Granted, my currently displayed photo queue stopped a few months ago, but I relied on that circular scroll bar indicator as some measure of proof that my photos were being uploaded. Aside from viewing ANY OF MY PHOTOS, I suppose that essentially NOTHING HAS CHANGED! This app has ALWAYS BEEN THE SLOWEST among my photo backup apps!

Needs improvement

This latest update seems to have broken adding tags to images.

Fantastic app and backup for my pictures- both professionally and personal

Ive been a Flickr user for a long time and rely on the app for backup, quick access to my collections etc. Works very well and very stable.
