Mobile Fotos

Mobile Fotos LogoAfter having a great experience with Twittelator Pro for my iPhone, I decided to buy another paid app from the App Store. In particular, I was looking for a good Flickr application, and it didn’t take me long to find Mobile Fotos.

The application is quick and easy to use. You can view almost everything – sets/tags/groups/favourites/contacts – and it caches photos when you view them, which is a useful feature. You can save pictures to your iPhone, and assign them as a contact’s picture really simply.

Uploading is a snap, and despite some users’ complaints about images being uploaded upside-down, my test upload (a picture of @ruby_gem’s ferret) uploaded fine. There’s a wealth of options you can fill in when you upload too, such as privacy and picture type (photo, illustration, etc).

There’s also the option to view nearby photos and “explore” interesting and recent photos. Finally, there’s the ability to search for photos too. Something I would like to see added would be the ability to view collections, currently it’s not possible to do this via the app.

Mobile Fotos is a feature-plenty Flickr app for iPhone, and I definately recommend it for any Flickr enthusiast. The price tag is rather cheap (I think it was about £3), and it is really helpful. Well done!

I’ve uploaded a few pics of my usage of the app:

Urbis

Urbis

Here are some of the pictures I took at URBIS in Manchester yesterday. I took quite a few pictures, as I’m planning to make a model of the building for my final piece in Art. I also went into the museum, and saw a few cool exhibits too. Let me know what you think!

The Riverdance in Blackpool

The Riverdance at Sea

I don’t know how many of you were watching the news in late January and early February, when a ship called the Riverdance ran aground off the shore of Cleveleys, near Blackpool. I went shortly after that, and got some pictures of the ship and the masses of people who turned out to see the stricken ship.

I’ve finally got round to uploading those photos to Flickr. I’ve put them all up in a set on Flickr for you to look at. Feel free to comment on them there or here.
