Yahoo! finally! releases! Flickr! app! for! iPad! BUT! shuns! Windows! fans!

Yahoo! has finally developed a Flickr app for Apple's iPad – but the move has upset Microsoft Windows' fans who have accused the Purple Palace of having "selective hearing" about its userbase.

The Marissa Mayer-run company, which bought photo-sharing site Flickr in 2005, said on Friday that it had cooked up an app for Cupertino's fondleslab years after it first landed.

Flickr tweeted: "We've heard you loud and clear!" It then linked to a blog post announcing the update.

But users waded in with complaints about Yahoo! failing to develop an app for users of the Windows Phone and Windows RT.

@Flickr well I'll whisper quietly , why don't you give a stuff about Windows Phone ignoring it completely ??? @Microsoft #WindowsPhone

@Flickr great, what about bringing it to WP and Windows RT? Or do you have a selective ear ignoring part of your users?

.@Flickr great, now how about a @Windows and @windowsphone app? The SAME amount of iPad users = Windows 8 users.

Meanwhile, Yahoo! said its retina-optimised Flickr app for the iPad, which runs on iOS 8, "can now display images in high resolution by pushing up to 3 million pixels per photo."

The app also comes loaded with editing tools and, er, "live filters", you lucky, lucky fanbois. ®
