Flickr Central 3.6.0.0

A must-have application for all Windows Phone users who want to share and manage their pictures stored on Flickr

Creating online albums with photos taken on the spot or already stored onto the mobile device is a quite common activity nowadays, as many people are using the online services dedicated to hosting and sharing images.

Flickr is one of the most well-known platforms and Windows Phone users can benefit from a few dedicated apps that are made to function as mobile clients for the service. Flickr Central is one of them and it aims to provide everything you need to explore and share pics, create albums, join groups and find friends.

Tidy and fresh looks for a practical GUI

Right from the first run you will notice the clean and easy to use interface of the app, which ensures a smooth navigation through menus and online images, without sudden stops or other glitches.

There are a few themes you can choose from to modify the color scheme and the layout of the utility.The intuitive placement of the commands makes Flickr Central a breeze to operate and handle the content added by you or by other users.

This ability to change the theme of the app is complemented by other extras like setting the thumbnail sizes or activating comment and favorite addition notifications for your photos.

Browse through the photos of other users and upload your own on the go

If you want to check out at a glance a selection of pics uploaded by Flickr users, the "Explore" section will provide a great assortment of images. Uploading your own photos takes a couple of taps to make the selection and add some optional details before sending the images online. Thus, you will be able to usea default set of tags you configure and assign them to as many albums as you wish.

A nice addition to the feature set is the ability to pin to the Start screen albums and other users from your "Contacts" list. The corresponding live tiles will cycle through a selection of pictures you make before pinning the items.

Bottom Line

Design / UI8 The decent look of Flickr Central is coupled with a practical and well organized layout.	Function9 This utility offers a good deal of options for uploading and managing images on Flickr, organizing contacts and pinning the preferred albums to the Start screen.	Security8 Flickr Central requires access to the phone identity and the maps, mainly for tagging the uploaded pics with information about the user's location, if this is allowed.
Battery7 The resource usage is above average, especially when lots of pictures are queued for uploading to Flickr.	Price10 A complete solution for handling Flickr user information, photos and managing albums, contacts and so on for free, this app has very few if any equivalents at all in the Store.	Compatibility8 Flickr Central is only suitable for the more recent handsets that run Windows Phone 8 or higher.
