EXIF info in Flickr Mobile 1.2.3

Starting with version 1.2.3, Flickr Mobile displays EXIF details in the "photo info" view:


Scroll down and you will see all the EXIF tags provided by Flickr for the current photo:


In some cases, ex: videos, the EXIF info may not be available. Also, some Flickr users may choose to keep their EXIF info private - in this case, nothing will be shown in the EXIF section.

Other changes in this release:

  • You can add the author of the current photo as a contact - also from the Info view:


  • The thumbnail rendering has been optimized to show larger thumbnails on xhdpi devices like Motorola's Moto G:

Recent Activity and Collection Support in Flickr Mobile 1.1.5

Starting with version 1.1.5, Flick Mobile includes two new sections: Collections and Activity.

A collection usually contains photosets and it may come in handy when you have a lot of them.
For more details, please see this help article from Yahoo.


Flickr Mobile allows viewing existing collections and their contents, editing a collection's title and description, deleting an existing collection as well as regenerating the collection's icon. (The icon is actually a mosaic composed of various photos in the contained photosets.)


Please note that deleting a collection will not delete the contained photosets.

You can add an existing photoset to a collection in the Photosets section, by tapping on the context menu and choosing Add to collection.



In the Activity section, you can see the most recent comments and faves on your photos, photosets and galleries.


There are many context menus throughout this section, offering various options like viewing the comment author's Flickr content, or adding the comment author as a contact.



If this section shows too many (or not enough) comments, you can change the time interval by tapping on the funnel icon in the top-right.

Finally, we improved the styling throughout the app, using Google's "cards" UI pattern, as seen in the Google Music app, as well as in Google Play.

Enjoy!


Note: This has been published as a staged rollout and it may take a day or so before it becomes available in all geographical regions.

Video support in Flickr Mobile

Starting with version 0.9.5, we added video support in Flickr Mobile.
You can:

  • Play any online video (if your Android device support that particular format)
  • Download any online video. The downloaded videos will be visible in the Gallery app (and any photography app supporting videos)
  • Upload your local videos to Flickr. Please note that some 3GP video files recorded on Nexus devices may not be recognized by Flickr. MPEG/MP4 video uploads seem to work without problems.
In thumbnail view, you can differentiate the videos by looking for the the usual "Play" icon.
