iPhone Free App Download: Flickr Undergoes Overhaul, Now Features Live Filters, Effects And More

For people who have owned the iPhone 5 since it was released a year ago, you may have been looking for a decent photo editing app that can be a great secondary option to iOS's built-in tool. Instagram has been a good alternative, but there seems to be something missing.

Yahoo answers the call and 'revives' the Flickr app for iOS with something most people want to have in an app - live filters. 

With the new Flickr update, users can choose filters and view their effects right away even before you actually apply them. It may not be revolutionary, but it definitely provides convenience on the part of the user in order to edit and enhance photos faster and easier. 

Aside from the primary change which is the live filter option, Flickr also boasts a sprawling community of smartphone photography enthusiasts. By joining Flickr, you would be able to connect with other people who share the same passion when it comes to art photography and after-effects techniques. 

In case you are done using the camera and you have already saved the image in your gallery, you can also access Flickr's full-blown editing tool. Using this tool, you can enhance your photos, turn them upside down, make them sharper, show more vivid colors, crop excess images, apply filters, and a lot more. 

Yahoo has indeed did a great job in updating its Flickr app, which has always been a go-to app and site when it comes to photo sharing and editing. If you haven't tried it yet, then you can download it for free from iTunes.
