Flickr Gallery has only just started development in June 2011. This is this intial release to
get it into your hands sooner. We are currently developing more features, such as a photo browser
and a flickr exploration browser. We also want to hear from the users – so let us know what you
want to see and we will strive to add it into an upcoming release.

Flickr Gallery turns your iPad into a Digital Photo Frame using photos from one of the biggest photo hosting sites on the web. Flickr hosts more than 5 billion images and you can access these easily from Flickr Gallery. You DONT need a flickr account – as it will default to interesting public photos. If you do have an account, you can login and display photos from your own photostream.

    Hi,

    I was just checking out your app in the App Store. Found it among the New Releases. Congrats, looks pretty good.

    Happy with the amount of downloads so far?

    I’ve worked with a few app developers over the last few months, and I’ve learned that there’s two aspects that you need to focus on to be really successful promoting apps in the App Store. I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned if you’re interested? Just let me know and I’ll send you over a quick overview. (I’m not trying to sell you information, just don’t want to bother you if you’re not interested in what I have to share.)

    Best of luck,
    Ed Turner

    Hi Ed,

    Thanks. Yes, we’re pleased with the downloads. The second version (1.1.0) is about to be approved and we’re currently working on v1.2.0.

    Sure, I’m interested in what you have to say. Email me at email at devedup.com.

    Thanks
    Dave

    Will you be adding a thumbnail view of one’s own photostream? I’d like to be able to choose what photo to see from my stream and not just random ones. Or at least add an option to start from the beginning of my stream.

    Awesome app – it’s a good use of the iPad’s screen.

    I’m interested in purchasing this app.

    Can i turn off the ugly logo bar if i purchase the app?

    Does the app show the network, time and battery? I want a gallery that doesn’t do that.

    Cheers

    @Taggart. Thanks. Yes a thumbnail view is in version 2.0.0 which has been submitted to Apple and should be live on around August the 2nd.

    @Michael. Yes, you can turn off the ‘ugly’ logo bar. Double tap the screen or logo bar and it will hide. And no, it doesn’t show the status bar (network, time and battery) either. The gallery can be full screen with nothing else but the picture taking up the screen.

    I’m curious to find out what blog system you are working with? I’m having some small security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any recommendations?

    Ive recently been following your weblog for the month roughly and still have found a bunch of info and also adored the technique youve organized your website. I’m looking to operate our really individual blog site however. I believe its way too common i should target a lot of smaller sized topics. Staying all things to all individuals is just not all that their damaged up to end up being.
