The creater of FlickrExport for iPhoto and Aperture, the first one out with a Flickr app for the iPhone, and the one who made the news with the first rejected app on the App Store “Podcaster”, has decided to give Exposure a new name. Say hello to Darkslide!
Well actually, there’s a little more to it than just a change in name (read all about that on Speirs’ blog). The new feature in Darkslide 1.5 is the ability to upload photos to Flickr! Imagine that! Another major change is the apparent price drop to $3.99 (which the developer claims is a limited time offer). The free app of course will do all that the paid version does, except for the ads strewn about the limited 320x480 pixels of your iPhone’s screen.
For those who have no idea about what Exposure was all about, it’s the best flickr app on the App Store. You can see your photos, your contacts photos, check out the featured section, places, groups, comments, sets, tags, favourites (should I go on?), and use the location features to see all pictures clicked near you.
I tried the upload feature, and it works really well. You can directly snap a new picture or select one from your library, add the title, description, tags as well as attach your current location.
Overall, Darkslide is a terrific flickr app for the iPhone. The UI is well thought out, and the features are endless. Try out the free version if you just want to test out the waters. At $3.99 [iTunes link] it is well worth it.
