Flickr chooses a great time to launch its iPad app
Apple has chosen to focus on the iPad's camera abilities with the upcoming Air 2 (we wish they wouldn't) and apparently, finally snagged Flickr's attention.
Yahoo's photo sharing service somehow managed to beat Instagram to the punch so perhaps the introduction of its first iPad-ready app (four years after Apple's slate arrived) isn't that late.
So what's in the (now universal) Flickr iOS app?
iPad-optimized layouts for members to browse pictures whether their own or others that "cascade in a lovely waterfall format."
If you must take a picture with your tablet, the app can record photos or videos with live filters and a full suite of editing tools.
It requires iOS 8 to work, and some of the upgrades that stretch across devices include support for the new sharing extensions, photo detail editing and a new unified search.
The update is live in the app store now, and of course there's no time like 3AM ET on a Saturday to give it a try.
