Review summary

Overall: Flickr's Android app is praised for being a strong platform for photographers, with a large, inspiring community and good cross-device usage (including older devices). However, users repeatedly report critical reliability issues: uploads often fail or duplicate, long wait times; analytics (Stats) frequently appear blank; performance problems like slow loading, blank screens, and occasional crashes persist across versions. Pricing changes and aggressive pro-upgrade prompts are a major grievance, with some users feeling priced out or forced into Pro to follow accounts. These drawbacks overshadow otherwise positive aspects for many power users.

Pros

Excellent platform for photographers to share high-quality images and get global inspiration from a creative community.
Great for showcasing your work and discovering others' photography from around the world.
Works on older devices, offering broad compatibility for a range of users.
Often regarded by users as a top photography site with strong community features.

Cons

Uploads frequently fail, are duplicated, or take very long to complete, with issues reported on various devices (including Pixel phones).
Stats/analytics page is consistently blank or not visible in the app across multiple versions.
General reliability and performance problems persist (crashes, blank screens, slow loading) across updates.
Pro pricing changes and aggressive upgrade prompts; many users feel priced out or pressured to upgrade just to follow accounts.
Sign-up/login onboarding issues and occasional difficulties getting started.

2026-05-18	Mi*****	Update: Unfortunately I had to remove some stars for how they have chosen to implement the admittedly dreadful UK's OSA. Apparently I can no longer access groups I've been a member of for over a decade. My near 20 year old account unlike other websites doesn't count as reasonable age assurance unlike other websites.
