THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO PART 1 (read first)
NOTE: At the time of writing this, I was asked NOT to include Screenshots, thus there are not here. But since then, they have lifted that restriction. Please see THIS POST FOR SCREENSHOTS.
I received an UPDATE to the 500px BETA iPad app this afternoon and finally had a chance to sit down and play with it this evening. I wanted to just offer a couple quick updates, letting you know what’s happening with it.
Already I am growing more and more impressed with it as it seems they are taking to heart some of what I brought up in my first review. Now… I have it on good authority that these changes were already on the books to be implemented, but it is so much more pleasing for my ego to think I played some role in this.
Seriously though… Banged away on it for an hour tonight and I am noticing the following changes:
- Fresh Gallery: Yes! The newest images. Offered from a menu on the left side along with all the other options.
- More Export Options: For individual images, you can now ‘Open in Safari’ and ‘Export to Tumblr’
On a separate note… Something I neglected to mention in my original write up: I’d really like to see the ability to Filter by Category in all of the galleries. On the website, I am able to select (from a drop down) which type of images I want to see, i.e. Landscape, Fine Art, Macro, Portrait, etc. Maybe even a search by tag… But I don’t think i even need that much sort power, so I’ll just stick to the Filter by Category request.
Again… Still looking good. Load times and image quality still top notch. For the new Fresh functionality, increasing my rating to:
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Still waiting to see where we net out on some other points mentioned in the first post. Until next time…
