i'm an avid flickr user and it's been great to see all of these flickr related apps become available for the iphone.
my flickr iphone usage is pretty simple. take a pic, title, tag, set privacy and upload it.
iflickr comes close. major props for the ability to tag, title, and save a copy of the pic on the iphone. i had problems with the authorization, and think that the authorization process could be a little more user friendly. by contrast, pushr was a breeze. also, i was a little put off by the bundled camera. in fact, i really like apple's camera interface better, but imagine iflickr as a tool will get better in time.
pushr is really simple. it sends any and all photos that are in the camera roll folder to your flickr account. it's an efficient app, and the authorization process was dead simple. it also keeps all of the exif information and doesn't add or subtract anything from the photos. that said, there are a few bits missing that might make this app a little more compelling. at present, there is no preview of the photos that you are uploading. once uploaded, there is no confirmation. the result is a bunch of new images on flickr, all titled with cryptic filenames, no tags, no privacy options.
as i mentioned, i need the ability to manage the photos before i send them. for this reason, i use
sendpics. it took a minute to set up some flickr contacts in my addressbook, each with it's own privacy setting. i also had to learn some of the commands that flickr allows for sending emails - for example, adding tags to the body, and a title in the subject. the result is the same, but possibly in a more compact form factor. with sendpics, i can essentially send my pics to anyone, and any service.
in summary, i would really like a native app that works with iphone's built in camera and photo library. allows me to select photos, title them, tag them, set their privacy and batch upload them. adding to the dream list, would be to add the photos to an existing or new photoset, or sending them to a group. put that all together, and now we're talkin! for now, it's sendpics.
all of the apps mentioned are available through installer.app.
happy flickring!
