Flickr – a thematic service that is endowed with the capabilities of a standard social network and is a place for storing user photos, performing the function of photo hosting. With the release of the mobile Android version of the site, the client got the opportunity to compete almost on an equal footing with Instagram, which until recently was the undisputed leader in this area. After the first launch of the application, you should go through the registration procedure, which will be even faster if the user has a Yahoo account, but even without one, everything will take no more than a couple of minutes, after which the client will be ready for use.
The main menu Flickr consists of several tabs, the first of which gives access to social functions and is implemented in the format of a news feed with interesting thematic photos of friends and users that a person follows. The second tab is an individual user profile with a photo, thematic albums, groups in which the person is a member and a list of recent actions performed by him. Traditionally, a comment system is available in the client, you can share your favorite works with other site participants, add the most interesting and unusual photos to the favorites category.
The Flickr client also has in common with Instagram that you can start taking photos or videos directly from the program, for which you just need to tap on the corresponding icon – a simple utility opens that allows you to select the front or main camera, as well as type of shooting. It is worth noting that the authors of the tool did not forget to provide their product with a small, but very high-quality package of tools for improving and adjusting images. There are the usual filters, the ability to crop images, use frames, work with the brightness and saturation of the source, and so on.
Additionally, the Flickr client provides for the use of one terabyte cloud storage, and all photos are automatically synchronized with the “cloud”, so you can be absolutely calm about the safety of your precious moments. In general, Yahoo turned out to be a convenient and attractive product that is focused on working from a mobile device – the interface is not overloaded with unnecessary elements, and access to the necessary menu tabs can be obtained with just one touch. The application is completely free and does not tire its users by viewing annoying ads, since it simply does not exist a priori.
