Confirming Marissa Mayer’s commitment to a mobile-first strategy, Yahoo has announced the second major overhaul of one of its apps in as many days (following its Yahoo Mail refresh) – a new version of its Flickr iOS app, which has been stripped down, completely redesigned and relaunched in a bid to get people back using the photo-sharing service.
The app has been given a fresh, modern look that allows users to immediately log in using their existing Yahoo account but also using their Facebook credentials. There’s also an option to use your Google account, but this is hidden from the front page.
Once you are logged in, the Flickr app provides tooltips that help walk you through its features, showing you were options are located and how to use gestures to favorite a photo.
Yahoo has included full Groups capabilities, finally bringing more control over features that until today were only available via the Flickr.com website.
Profiles have been given an overhaul too, with Sets, Groups, Favourites, Photos Of and Contacts options added to the photostream pane for easy access.
Will the new app lure people back to Flickr? The service remains a favorite place to store and share photos for professional and amateur photographer alike, but the new update may help bring casual sharers also. With easy sign-up options, Flickr’s app is well-placed to onboard users quickly, giving them another photo-sharing app to add to their arsenal.
