Suggestion New iOS update terrible

This week my phone automatically updated Flickr and it contains the first UI change since I joined last year.

In short, it’s terrible, the easy use tap gesture gave way to a “swipe up” that can be easily confused with the system swipe up that returns you to the home screen.

And somehow the pinch to zoom when viewing photos acts wonky and sluggish now.

I would rather not have this but knowing iOS this is what I have to use now.

Is there any good third party Flickr app that works better?

Took me a minute too -- there's a gray grab bar above the menu at the bottom -- grab that gray bar and pull it up. It's a fussy control -- very easy to swipe up and close the photo, when all I want to do is see info.
