Now I can’t log into my account on Flickr. Flickr app says it’s the developers issue to fix. Oops! Flickr doesn't recognise the "oauth token" this application is trying to use. An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data. You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.) There are lots of applications using the Flickr API. If you are curious about this, visit the Flickr Services page to see more examples of cool stuff. Otherwise, you might like to head to your home page... What's going on here? Flickr encourages other developers to build cool tools for you to play with, but you must authorize these third parties to access your account. ### 1/5 — ~. , .- *2021-03-06, version 3.19* FIX THIS F’N app or hang up the Dev code book already. 😡 ### 2/5 — Oath Issue *2020-06-06, version 3.19* After logging in, it says the Oath token doesn’t have all of the details to authorize this app. So i can’t access Flickr properly. ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now gives an error when you try to log into Flickr *2020-04-15, version 3.19* So, up until recently, this was my favorite app for viewing my Flickr account on iOS devices. Way better than the official app. I’d have given it five stars. Unfortunately, now when I try to log into Flickr with the app on my new iPad, I get an error message back saying “Oops! Flickr doesn’t recognize the oauth_token this application is trying to use.” This has happened repeatedly over multiple attempts over multiple weeks, so unfortunately I have to assume that this isn’t just a short-term error. I tried emailing the author of the app to report the issue, but I got no response and it still hasn’t been fixed over several weeks. If the author ever chooses to fix the error, I’ll update this back to a five-star review. In the meantime, though, I’d recommend that any new users avoid buying it. ### 1/5 — Almost useless *2020-02-02, version 3.19* This app needs work! User search can't find the user even though you see them in Flickr. Same with group search. Search results need to be alphabetical. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2019-11-18, version 3.19* Sign in is broken. Garbage ### 1/5 — terrible *2017-04-20, version 3.16* after login it takes me to the safari site making it impossible to actualy use the app. i have sent an email to devloper 3 weeks ago and stil no response. ### 3/5 — Inaccurate photo count information *2016-12-09, version 3.16* Flickr site on my desktop computer shows that I have 80+ more photos than the app says I have. Please fix this bug. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-09-29, version 3.16* I love looking at all the wonderful pictures ### 2/5 — Barely wrks *2016-04-16, version 3.16* Advanced search preferences have to be reset EVERY time. Does not save, even though it tells you it is saving them. Safe/restricted search effectively censors content by limiting # of items retrieved. Even in paid version of app. ## Frequently asked questions about FLExplorer for Flickr Pro ### What can I do with this app?
