What are users saying about Glimmr, for Flickr

D70%
by D####:

The idea of this app is very interesting but it fails in the very basic level: displaying the images. In a simple test the app wasn't even capable of rendering the album thumbnails without aliasing the pictures. Once the photo was open, it was nice and sharp as it should be, but the thumbs viewing is buggy and very unpleasant.

Z70%
by Z####:

App needs to be updated for flickr's new security model.

R70%
by R####:

Not only I have excellent image quality on several of my tablets and phones, but also I can save any picture or even a video clip locally. I just click on it and instantly browse thousands of images there. It sometimes crashes when a tablet runs out of RAM or when the network lags, but this is not a big issue so far. I use it for over a year now and it is a good app. Thanks.

It asked flicker to access and edit several things including my private photos ... why?

Really nice design, but much slower to load photos than other Flickr apps, and sometimes crashes.

J70%
by J####:

With no discussion support and painful image load speed, this offers nothing over the official app.

I recon I tried all applications for Flickr in Playstore and it is thr best. The only missing point is "Why can't we add author to his contact ? ". Indeed it is possible to put picture of other contact in his favorite but not the possibility to add author to his contact. Can you add this feature ? Thanks a lot

I don't have the time to waste waiting for this to load images. Going elsewhere, and if I do choose to pay for an app it will be one that's cheaper and with better reviews.

on my device too many craches. n7000 android 4.4.2 Everyday 5-6 times. it is very annoing. But in the other site, app is amazing. Picture are fantastic. picture are the best improve stability :)

by E####:

On my Nexus 5 (which should have lots of capacity) I regularly have to restart the app. If I open my contacts feed, then scroll down to the last photo I remember seeing before, open it and then swipe my way to the most recent, I rarely make it back to the first. After 20 or so, I get a black image that never loads, then the rest follow suit. Full cache? Such a well executed app otherwise. Very, very, very good.

Easy to browse contacts' photos, and I can save favorites and set as wallpaper. I would give 5 stars if it weren't so slow.
