NEEDS UPDATE: Cannot access account

“Flickr doesn’t recognize oauth token...”

In other words, this app is useless for accessing your own account because you can’t log in. If you just want to browse without logging into your account, it still works okay, for now.

This would be a pretty quick and easy fix if the developer would just update the certificates for his/her apps. Unfortunately, most of this dev’s apps seem to be abandoned - not just this one. I suspect this one will have a similar fate as the others and keep breaking bit by bit until it stops working completely (or Flickr does something to make it break all at once). Too bad, because this was a pretty cool app with lots of unique features.
