Flickpad for the iPad: Looking good!
Following a recommendation from Jake McKee, I downloaded the Flickpad iPad app last night and have been giving it a test drive.
Gotta say this: It’s gorgeous!
How Flickpad works
- The app displays the latest photos from your Facebook friends, meaning you have to authorize the app to access data from your Facebook account.
- To remove a photo from your view, click and “flick” it off the screen. In its place, another image will fade in (again … just gorgeous)
- Tap a photo once to enlarge it. From there, you can click to add a comment that will pass through to your friend’s Facebook page. (Curiously, the “Like” function isn’t working for me)
- Double-tap to see all photos in that album
- Triple-tap to see all of a user’s photos
- Tap and hold a photo for the option to e-mail it to a friend.
And that’s it! Smooth. Simple. And well worth the $4.99 price tag.
Here’s a video demo of the app, too. Note that it was published in May, and the user interface has changed slightly since then.
