Flickr ditching Facebook and Google sign-in for Yahoo accounts
102
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...

Flickr has no love for Windows Phone, so here are some alternative Flickr apps
85
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,...

Indulged brings Flickr to life on Windows Phone 8
42
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...

In v1.3, we also see a few other bug fixes/additions which are welcomed: Fix problem with blank screen during startup phase for some users Fix for application...
