Flickr unveiled its completely redesigned iOS and Android apps on Thursday. The apps include faster navigation, a more streamlined design and add support for HD videos.
Flickr's refreshed home screen emphasizes sharing and interacting with photos in your feed. The redesigned timeline ditches its past grid layout and instead opts for a clean, single-column feed that displays images one at a time with options to share and comment underneath each photo.
The app's navigation is much faster overall than previous versions. The company especially focused on boosting the speed of its search and it shows. Searching for photos is significantly faster in the new app.
The company also improved search by incorporating images' metadata into the app, including type of camera, camera settings and location information.
Even if you have thousands of photos, our intelligent search engine will help you find what you’re looking for fast," Flickr's vice president, Bernardo Hernandez, wrote in a blog post. "Flickr’s understanding of your photo’s date and time (ex: 'January 2014'), place (ex: 'San Francisco'), and even scenes and objects (ex: 'car,' 'sunset,' 'beach,' 'portrait') helps organize your images so you don’t have to."
The new app also includes in-app video capture. Users can now record and share up to 30 seconds of HD videos within the app. Flickr's live filters can also be added to videos.
Flickr 3.0 is available now in the Google Play Store and will roll out to iOS users later on Thursday.
