I use Flickr to store my photos and have been frustrated by the fact that there hasn’t been a decent app for uploading and browsing photos for the iPhone. Newcomer Plickit Pro ($3.99) lets me upload multiple photos off my iPhone with ease and offers some nice ways of browsing photos.

When you start Flickit Pro there is a menu on the bottom of the screen where you can view photos from your account and favorite people, view recent activity, explore Flickr, upload photos and view/change your settings. The interface is very appealing to the eye and easy to use.

I love the ease of uploading photos. You can take a photo from within the app or upload from your library and camera roll. I choose to upload from camera roll since I use ProCamera to take my photos. When I have taken multiple photos and want to upload them with new titles, descriptions, tags, into different sets and groups I can do it in a straight forward manner. First, I select the photos from the camera roll by clicking on them and a checkmark appears next to the photos I select. Then, a screen shows the photos and I click on each photo to add title, description, tags and set. Then I hit the upload button and I’m all set, the photos are uploaded to Flickr with all the information needed, I don’t have to edit it on Flickr and I don’t have to put all the photos in the same set like in other apps.

The other nice feature in Flickit Pro is called PhotoFlow which is a nice way of browsing photos in the app. It’s like CoverFlow for music where you can browse photos in a nice flowing manner by swiping through to view photos. My one gripe here is that it only works in portrait mode, I would love to be able to do a PhotoFlow in landscape mode.

You can also browse individual photos using a swiping gesture to move backwards and forwards between photos, and also view photo details including comments. Photo browsing features are enabled for all types of browsing including favorite contacts, searches, Flickr Interestingness (current favorites on Flickr), nearby photos and your groups.

One thing you can’t do when browsing photos is save them to your iPhone which would be great. You can email them and favorite a photo but not save it. Hopefully that is something that will be added in a future update.

Is FlickitPro worth $3.99? For me it is since I have a premium account with Flickr. I will start adding new sets and taking more photos while I am out with my iPhone.

Do you use Flickr? Do you have a favorite app for uploading photos to Flickr? Will you try FlickitPro?

Flickit Pro Rating: (4/5)
