Flickr launched app for iPad



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.
