1 ★ 7/28/2023: well, it uploads, but won't assign to an album via the app. Not during upload, and not from the photostream either.. Still sucks overall. -----older review Won't upload images anymore through the app. Uploading images (not through auto upload) was terrible before ; now it simply doesn't work. Sharing from A+ Gallery to Flickr also no longer works. This App needs a much improved upload functionality. And a way to search for album (and just your own; don't care about other users).
2 ★ Notifications don't work. For months, possibly a year plus, the app does not notify me of any likes, comments, etc. Even when I open the app, the notification bell doesn't show any indicator. Only if I click on it will it show the recent activity. I know several people with this issue. This is a large contributing factor to me using Flickr less and Instagram more. Fix notifications, let people receive notifications of new posts, and get support for Notes on mobile. Notes are fantastic.
5 ★ The app is great! I think it's laid out very well, transitions look nice, and I like how they put their own spin on some little things, like loading animations and swiping between photos. I think the app's home experience is nice, though I'd like an option to hide the most recent comments on posts, as I feel it's just a little cluttered that way. Nevertheless, the app is great, and I enjoy seeing all of the posts that the community makes!
1 ★ The app was working perfectly, but it kept bugging me to update. When I did, there was no update available. Finally, I uninstalled, then reinstalled and I got the update, but it's horrible! It mixes the desktop site and mobile app in weird ways, and asks me to go through entering my username and password each time I open it. I can't figure out how to upload a photo from my phone. I love Flickr, but the app has ruined.
3 ★ Overall, it's a nice app and does everything you need it to while being fast and stable. There are quite a few areas that could use improvement though: The camera portion should definitely have manual controls and the option to shoot in a raw format. The editor should be improved. Something like lightroom mobile would be awesome. It's design hasn't changed in several years and IMO could use a visual refresh. Dark mode would go a long way. Needs the ability to order prints from within the app.
5 ★ I've been a long term user of Flickr for a variety of reasons. The site is purely focused on photography for all levels. Ads, except for the ocassional spammer, are non-existent. The overall feel of the site is very relaxing and uncluttered. Views don't consist of mostly bots and like for like nonsense. They also aren't obsessed with following every new trend.
1 ★ The old app was at least functional: auto-upload didn't always work, but the option was there and it worked occasionally. This latest app is nothing more than a shortcut to the website - in desktop mode! - and doesn't save your credentials, or have any of the mobile features, including auto-upload. I'm up for renewal this month - I will absolutely be finding a new service.
4 ★ Edit: I already had the latest version of the app, but it seems like the problem has been fixed since I wrote this. Original Review: There is an issue with images that are not in sRGB. In the app, the photos look faded and green toned in a bad way. In any web browser (mobile and desktop), the images look fine. This only happens in this app.
1 ★ This app is *ALL KINDS OF UNRELIABLE*!! You have to babysit it to make sure it auto uploads (yes, I turned off Battery Optimization). And then, it sometimes gets stuck and won't upload. Trying to get past my Christmas uploads on two separate devices for over 24 hours now and it won't work!! It gets to the third item and stops with 68 items pending. Don't know what they are because the app doesn't give ANY feedback besides the number of items.
5 ★ I've been using Flickr and the app since around 2013 and it is my most favorite social media app to use!! I have met so many people from all different places and walks of life, from different photography levels... that I consider friends. I've learned different photography techniques just by joing groups that otherwise would have taken me much longer to learn. I constantly use the app! I love being able to quickly check on friends photos. I would definitely recommend!! I use Samsung Galaxy S8.
1 ★ The one thing about the Flickr app is that it 8s constantly bad. It is single handedly the worst app I have used on Android and no matter how many times the update it, it remains terrible. There are constantly issues with uploading photos from mobile device. It constantly fails to load images when you try to view anything on Flickr. These are issues that have existed for years and have never been resolved. I'm almost certain the developers gave up on the app years ago.
1 ★ I updated to the latest version and lost the ability to upload pictures. The app crashes during the steps to upload. I tried all the standard stuff, clearing the cache, restarting, etc. It still crashes. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Now, it crashes during startup. I only get the white screen with the two dots. After a few seconds... "Unfortunately, Flickr has stopped." I can't get it to start at all now.
5 ★ Interestingly, I found the android mobile app works better and more reliably than the Flickr website. The user experience on the app is markedly more fluid, responsive, and intuitive. Great job on the app, but please invest in improving the website as well. The visual impacts from viewing photos on a bigger screen from a laptop/desktop can't be matched by seeing the same images on a much smaller mobile device, although the convienence for mobile is undeniable.
2 ★ It's a very basic app, that just dumps all of your phone's media content to Flickr. And even that it does horribly. It often doesn't work. Recently it started to upload random photos from the past, which were already uploaded before. This app needs to have a way to specify some rules what kind of content I want to upload. Maybe just dedicated folder(s) from my phone.
5 ★ Update: realized that my phone had both a new and old version of Flickr. Like it hadn't overwritten an older version when it updated. Old version gone now and it works fine. ----- Great app, except every time i try to open it, it always says i need to upgrade and takes me to the app store page where i DON'T need any upgrade. But it's the only location i can open it from. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache and everything. Nothing fixes this issue.
