Flickr ditching Facebook and Google sign-in for Yahoo accounts

By Rich Edmonds, Friday, Jun 6, 2014 at 8:47 am EDT

Some viewed it as inevitable that Yahoo would flip the switch for both Facebook and Google sign-in options to be disabled in favor of its own account system. The popular photo sharing service offers a solid platform for hobbyists to upload and share snaps they've captured with smartphones and/or more professional setups. If you access Flickr through Facebook or Google, you'll soon be prompted to create a new Yahoo account.

Jump into your photostream with Flickrology for Windows 8

By Michael Archambault, Thursday, Mar 13, 2014 at 6:06 pm EDT

While Flickr’s competitor, 500px, has beautiful applications for both Windows Phone and Windows 8; Flickr themselves have yet to deliver to the Windows Store and the last update to their Windows Phone application was pushed out in March of 2012.

However, to fill the void of an official Flickr application on the store for Windows 8, we have set out to find the best third party app and to see if any of them has what it takes to provide the ultimate Flickr viewing experience. After shuffling through collections of terribly mediocre Flickr applications, which trust me that some of them are simply terrible, we stumbled upon “Flickrology” for Windows 8.

Follow us as we explore the app, and decide for yourself if the full version’s price tag is worth $2.49 USD.

Flickr has no love for Windows Phone, so here are some alternative Flickr apps

By Daniel Rubino, Thursday, Feb 6, 2014 at 1:55 pm EST

You would think with devices like the Lumia 1020, Lumia 1520 and even the venerable Lumia 92x, a photography site like Flickr would be catering heavily towards Windows Phone users. Instead, we have an app that was last updated almost two years ago from the Yahoo! owned shutterbug site. An app that is plagued with performance and login issues, giving users a subpar experience.

Now, Flickr through their support forums have confirmed that they are purposefully giving the cold shoulder to Windows Phone. If you were expecting a massive update waiting in the wings from the company, you can now stop.

Unofficial Flickr app 2flicka updated with video capture and playback

By Rich Edmonds, Saturday, Dec 21, 2013 at 1:26 pm EST

2flicka is one of those Windows Phone apps that's worth downloading if you're into photography and make use of the Flickr web service from Yahoo!. While 2flicka is an unofficial app, we've been impressed by the steady stream of updates, improving the functionality and list of features for consumers. Today, we're looking at version 1.3, which includes video capture and playback.

2flicka gets updated once again, includes bug fixes and some light improvements

By Rich Edmonds, Tuesday, Nov 26, 2013 at 1:14 pm EST

If you're not familiar with 2flicka, it's an unofficial Flickr app for Windows Phone. The app itself hasn't been live for very long, but already we're looking at yet another update. Previously, the developer added group support, galleries and a few other goodies, but today 2flicka has had a few fixes implemented, along with a more polished dark theme. Snap on past the break for the full read through.

By Rich Edmonds, Saturday, Nov 9, 2013 at 12:03 pm EST

If you're wanting something more than what the official Flickr app offers on Windows Phone, you should look no further than 2flicka. The app has been updated to version 1.1 in just over a week since we covered the lunch - that's not bad going. Some of the new features in this release include galleries and support for groups. There are a bunch of miscellaneous improvements to boot that will improve the overall experience.

2flicka delivers a killer Flickr experience for Windows Phone 8

By Sam Sabri, Friday, Nov 1, 2013 at 4:20 pm EDT

The official Flickr app for Windows Phone is slacking off. It hasn’t been updated since 2012 in March. Thankfully, we’ve got a ton of great developers stepping up to the plate to provide solid Flickr experiences on Windows Phone. Some of our favorites include Pixl, Indulged, and Viewr for Flickr. Feel free to add newcomer 2flicka to that list of awesome Flickr apps for Windows Phone. Let’s check it out.

Viewr for Flickr, photo sharing for Windows Phone 8

By George Ponder, Friday, Oct 25, 2013 at 8:56 am EDT

If the official Flickr Windows Phone app isn't doing much for you, take a gander at Viewr for Flickr.

Viewr for Flickr is a Windows Phone 8 photography app that is straight forward means to accessing Flickr while on the go.  The app has a clean layout where you can view and share Flickr images as well as upload images to your account.

There is some room for improvement but from uploading to viewing to sharing, Viewr for Flickr lays everything out nicely and is well worth trying.

Indulged brings Flickr to life on Windows Phone 8

By Sam Sabri, Tuesday, Oct 1, 2013 at 9:30 pm EDT

Being the OS in third place means Windows Phone is slowly gaining major apps from big brands and companies. If those apps aren’t “officially” on Windows Phone the development community steps up and produces solid third-party offerings. And often those third-party apps are equal or better than the official apps.

Flickr is one of those apps where the official offering is lagging behind what the community deserves from an app. So join me in welcoming Indulged to the Windows Phone platform. It’s a brand new app for us that is poised to be an excellent way to experience Flickr on Windows Phone. Let’s check it out.

Flickr Windows Phone Apps experiencing log in headaches

By George Ponder, Wednesday, May 29, 2013 at 2:59 pm EDT

If you've tried to log into your Flickr account from the Windows Phone Flickr app you're probably receiving an error message that reads,

"Unable to reach Flickr login services. Press Back to try again."

The error message is rather persistent, no matter how many times you press the Back Button and try again.

The problem? It's likely an API change that wasn't reflected in the app.  The issue seems to be limited to logging into your Flickr account from apps such as the Flickr app and Pixl.  In checking some of the apps that pull images from Flickr, but don't have the account log-in feature, such as Photostream and Flickr Wallpapers, they are still able to pull pictures from Flickr.

By Sam Sabri, Sunday, Apr 7, 2013 at 10:28 pm EDT

Under a month ago we told you guys about Pixl, a beautiful Flickr app for Windows Phone. We praised the good design of the application and it’s easily one of the better ways to interact with Flickr on Windows Phone. They added an update yesterday that adds some fun filters to the images you upload. Check it out.

Pixl is a beautiful Flickr app for Windows Phone

By Sam Sabri, Saturday, Mar 16, 2013 at 7:48 pm EDT

Odds are you have a 500px or Flickr account if you enjoy photography. Doesn’t matter if the shots are coming from a DSLR or Micro Four Thirds camera, most photogs are part of some online community. Flickr is arguably the most well-known of those online communities, and while it may have grown stale in features the past few years, it’s still on top for most people. If you’re among those heavy Flickr users, you might want to check out Pixl for Windows Phone.

Photostream updated for Windows Phone 8, adds 500px to the mix

By George Ponder, Wednesday, Dec 19, 2012 at 5:20 pm EST

The Windows Phone 8 lockscreen app Photostream just got a little better.

Photostream already gives you the ability to not only rotate your lockscreen wallpapers from images in your Pictures Hub but PhotoStream will also tapped into Flickr to generate lockscreen wallpapers. The app was recently updated to version 1.2 and allows you to tap into photos on 500px as well.

Nokia Lumia 920 Photo Gallery surfaces on Flickr

By George Ponder, Saturday, Sep 29, 2012 at 10:36 am EDT

There's a new Flickr page dedicated to the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone's camera.  Created by professional photographer Alex Efimoff, the page highlights photos taken with the Lumia 920's Pureview Camera.  The photos range from low light shots to macro shots take with the 920.

The images appear to be a collection of test shots taken by Nokia as well as images captured by Efimoff with the Lumia 920. The Flickr page also has an invitation to add your own photos and video clips taken with the Lumia 920.
