Here at Indicommons, we’re very pleased to announce the release of Indicommons for iPhone® and iPod touch®. You can now keep up to date with the very latest Commons happenings, no matter where you are.

With the app, you can not only read the latest blog entries from us here at Indicommons, but you can also directly access the wealth of photos held within the Commons – right from your iPhone or iPod touch. Whether you just want to casually browse through the various photo sets belonging to each member institution or search for photos across the whole of the Flickr Commons, the Indicommons app makes it easy for you to find whatever you are looking for.

If you have a Flickr account, you can add tags and comments to Commons photos directly from the app, and if you find a photo that you particularly like, you can quickly and easily add it to your favourites on Flickr.

Indicommons for iPhone and iPod touch is a free download and is available on the App Store℠ (show in iTunes®). The app requires an iPhone or iPod touch running OS 3.0 or later and an internet connection.

If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, download the Indicommons app today and give it a whirl! And if you have any feedback on the app, please do let us know what you think. We already have a whole bunch of ideas for things we’d like to add and are busy planning next version of the app, so if there’s something you’d particularly like to see, do let us know.
