The image hosting and video hosting Web site Flickr, owned by Yahoo, has released new versions for the iOS and Android.
According to an official statement, this release is in tune with the redesign of the Flickr Web site and the Android app which offers one terabyte of storage space to its users.
Marissa Mayer, CEO, Yahoo, has marked a re-design-ception by bringing the Flickr 3.0, a new Flickr redesign, essentially a redesign of the original redesign.
Flickr 3.0 is expected to increase the popularity and earmark more registered users inciting heavy uploads. The 3.0 version will make Flickr faster and easier to capture, share and discover photos and videos. The Flickr app has 14 filters that users can enhance their photos by Yahoo’s most recent in-add editing tool, the statement said.
The Flickr 3.0 also helps users capture and edit up to 30 seconds of HD video using the same filters available for photos. The app provides a smarter, faster and personal search experience, what was once three seconds per search in the past is now 30 milliseconds. The free-to-download Flickr 3.0 offers 1000 GB of storage or 5000 photos. Simpler navigation tools and a redesigned photo stream makes it easier to go social on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
Flickr claims that the new UI is designed for quick sharing and service. Other features include Auto Sync feature which allows users to upload original quality images from the smart phone directly to the Flickr account. It will allow them batch-editing to organise Flickr images and videos into albums.
Users will also have the privacy settings along with delete option with the privilege of showing search results based on groups, time, date and location.
The new Flickr apps are free and available to download for Android in the Play Store, and for iPhone and iPod touch in the App Store.
