We also wanted to note that Adobe recently joined the party with its Revel app, while several smaller startups are looking to enter the arena as well. We focus primarily on Flickr here due to its unlimited storage options and established track record, with a brief look thereafter at what Adobe’s offering brings to the table. Let’s begin with a quick look at Flickr’s own free, official iOS app-dubbed simply Flickr-so we can provide a baseline for what the company itself offers to iOS users. Sadly, the answer here is “not much:” Flickr has set a relatively low bar with an application that’s okay for exploring Flickr, searching and browsing your own photos and those from your contacts, as well as uploading new photos. The app also provides the ability to edit basic photo information (title, description, sets, tags and privacy), lets you comment on photos, and can save them to the Camera Roll.įor the casual Flickr user, the official Flickr app has the benefit of being completely free, and is actually a pretty good solution for uploading photos to Flickr. Users can upload multiple photos, choose between either full or medium resolutions, and enter title, description, set, tag and privacy fields. Location information is also supported, which can either be included from the actual photo or manually set to a specific location during upload. The Flickr app is also clever enough to decide which photo upload method should be used depending on whether the user has enabled Location Services or not, falling back to the older method in the event that the user has location services disabled, which will allow for selecting only one photo at a time, as well as stripping all metadata from the photo such as camera model, capture time and location (see Location Services and access to Camera Roll photos for more information). When viewing a set of photos the user can choose either a thumbnail grid or list view, and tap on an existing photo to view more information. Metadata can only be edited on an individual photo basis no option exists to select multiple photos, while viewing photos is similarly limited with only basic information displayed and no way to view additional EXIF metadata.
