i’ve got flick on my iphone and ipad, and it’s working fine. now, i need to get flick installed on my windows desktop. where do i download the file? there are no links available on getflick.io.
thanks in advance!
the getflick.io website changes depending on the device you are using to view it. On mobile devices the links to the windows downloads etc will not be visible. Here is the the link. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/getflick.io/Flick.1.0.3.exe
many thanks for the prompt response!
i was using an old version of ie and, hence, the download link did not show up. have installed the program now and am truly enjoying your handiwork. 🙂
thanks again!
Can I get Flick for Mac OS 10.6?
Seems odd that it is only available for 10.7 and up; in that case I would just use airdrop with iOS7.
Flick for iPad is not limited to iOS 6, so can you make the OS X version also backward compatible?
The app currently uses some features that are only available on Mac OS 10.7 and up, but we will be looking to make it more backward compatible in the future. Also, iOS 7’s AirDrop only works between iOS devices, not Mac OS…
A bump on the idea of getting Flick on Mac OS 10.6. AirDrop does work from iOS7 to Mac OS 10.7 and later, but those of us who can’t upgrade our Macs currently don’t have any straightforward way to “beam” files to our Macs. Thanks for your consideration.
Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll definitely consider it for the next version.
“Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll definitely consider it for the next version.”
With more and more solutions coming out that ARE compatible with 10.6 (Drop Copy, File Drop, Scribe, Mover+, Air Transfer, Local Cloud, to name a few), you may want to elevate your “we’ll consider it” stance to something a little more urgent. If history is any indication, only a very small handful of apps in your category will rise to the top, and it’s almost always the apps that are available to the most number of users. The rest simply fade away.
Although I removed Flick last year when I realized it wasn’t compatible, I’m still interested in it. I continue to monitor Flick’s updates / releases in hopes that you’ve realized what’s happening in the industry, and then improved the app in order to remain competitive — and relevant.
Your point is well made and noted, thanks.
I have an Android phone and my ipad where i can find the app for androiD?
Hi, Flick for Android is not available yet, you can subscribe to http://eepurl.com/z2WaT if you would like to be notified when it’s available…
Hello. I’m having some troubles by sending pictures to my Iphone! I downloaded Flick (Windows), and I grabbed my pic to my desktop but the target bar didn’t show up 😦
Hi, does the menu open when you right-click the Flick icon in the tray? If not, can you try the 4th question in the General issues section?
I have the same problem. I can open the menu, but if I try to send a picture, grab it to the top of my desktop, the plus doesn’t appear
And i have the latest version of Java, for windows 8
Hi, can you receive a file on that computer? Also, can you try with no other apps open on the screen? There may be an issue with Windows 8, if so we’ll look into fixing it for the next update…
Since there isn’t yet a version compatible with Mac OS 10.6 (which, according to the latest stats, is one-third of the Mac population), what about a web-based version of Flick — similar to what the Bump app has (http://bu.mp)?
Hi, we’re working on a new version with some new features and bug fixes, and hopefully we’ll be able to get it running on 10.6 as well.
Any word on 10.6 support?
Tranks for your work, I really appreciate the simplicity of this Solution. So you have a roadmap for the android app? I’m really looking forward to it.
Android due out soon. Were hoping to launch this week but some admin issue likely to push it into next week. Follow us on twitter for updates. @get_flick
Hi, does it work bête en RIM and IOS ?
Not yet. The Android launch is due soon. Looking to see if we can get it to work on latest BB devices. Follow us on twitter for updates. @get_flick
I downloaded it today via the snap app onto my BB Classic and it is working well between my blackberry, pc, mac, and apple devices. The graphics aren’t quite as nice (notes look a little weird, and the ball shows up as a square on my classic), but the file transfers between devices work seamlessly and it is exactly what I was looking for.
I have install Flick on my ubuntu . It seems run successfully, but if I try to drag any file to the top of the screen, it seems nothing has happened. My other devices also not find this ubuntu pc in the same wifi network.
I think may be the unity cause that problem. On other platforms , it works well~
Hi, if you start it from the terminal, do you see any error messages?
No error message, only “Registered service on port 42868” is displayed.
I have iPhone,iPad,and iPod flick works great love it so much, I also have a android phone downloaded flick on it which receives photo’s and sends ok but cannot find photo’s say’s been saved at asset.jpg.downloads but I cannot find them anywhere on my android mobile any help would be greatful Thank you.also lots of my family members have same phone the Samsung mobile also iPads as well and have same problem.
Hi, have you looked under the Download folder in the My Files built-in app? The path should be All Files > Download, on the memory card…
How do I uninstall Flick from windows 8?
Hi, you can uninstall Flick by going to the install folder (C:\Program Files\Flick) and running uninstall.
I solved this non-syncing problem by un-installing from both devices and re-installing. It worked.
My iPhone Flick can’t find my MacbookPro. Just keeps searching. Has been working well until installing the update today.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled on both devices. They’re both connected to same wifi.
Hi, is Flick running in the tray at the top on the Mac? If so, what version of OS X are you running, and what version of iOS do you have?
Hello i have an ipad 4 and an iphone 5,when i send a picture or a video how i can save it in the camera roll?
It isn’t save automatically
Hi, when you’ve taken the photo before flicking it you can tap it and press Save, and for videos you can tap it, press Open, press the action arrow (top right) and press Save Video.
Hi, with the last upgrade the App can’t find my Mac. Flick work’s fine before
Hi, is Flick running in the tray at the top? If it is, can you try quitting it and opening it again. Also make sure that your Mac is on the same WiFi network as the app on your phone or tablet…
Works on android and iOS for me and my mac, but ball game and tic tac toe come back with .game suffix rather than actual game. am I missing plug in or something on my mac?
John
Hi John, the games haven’t been implemented yet on the Mac…
Does it work on Windows? I have a Table with Windows 7 where this would be a great demo…
John
Hi John,
We have not done the app for Windows mobile, but it will work on Windows 7. Here is the link to the Windows version. http://getflick.io.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Flick.1.0.3.exe
Eric
Hy, how can i paste copied files from gpb onto the flicktop?
Martin
How do I uninstall Flick from windows vista?
How can I choose between using wi-fi and Bluetooth when transferring files. There doesn’t seem to be an option, but there should be.
Hi, the app will use the fastest available connection, so if both WiFi and Bluetooth are available, it will use WiFi. If you would like to force WiFi, you can turn off Bluetooth in your device’s settings…
I accidently press broadcast on a video file and it disappear, what does this mean ? Where did it go?
Hi, when you broadcast, it sends the file to everyone who’s connected at the top, and then removes it from your device the same as if you flicked it to someone.
Hi I download flick for my iPad and my android, it work fine, but somehow when I try to save the pic. I don’t know where it goes. Can u help me
Hi, on the iPad when you save photos they go to your Camera Roll (in the Photos app), and on Android it goes to your Download folder.
How do I find out who sent me a photo in Flick
Hi, at the moment the bar at the top will change to show the person who flicked the item.
Is flick able to used as a whole school in terms of your licence agreement?
Hi, yes Flick can be used in a school.
How do i close Flick on a Mac? I’ve hidden it, but would like to actually close it so I can delete it.
Hi, you can close Flick by clicking it’s status bar icon at the top right of the screen, and selecting Quit. You can also use the Activity Monitor app (in the Utilities folder) to find and quit Flick…
How do I rename the macbook pro laptops in the flick app. We are using them in a school situation and the only names that are coming up along the top bar are ‘admin’s macbook Pro’ or ‘Macintosh -2 local’. This gets confusing when there are three devices connected with the same name.
Hi, the Mac version of Flick uses the Computer Name setting. To change the computer name, open the System Preferences app, go to Sharing, and it should be at the top. You may need to quit and reopen Flick for the changes to take effect…
Awesome! So easy. Thanks a lot.

Hi, thanks for pointing this out, we will work on fixing it as soon as possible…
Hello there.
Will it ever be possible to create iPad groups?
Would be very handy if we could create groups of iPads, so files can be broadcast to selected devices, without individually flicking to each one.
Thanks.
Hi, we are currently working on this feature for the next version of Flick, and hopefully it will be available in the near future…
Flick used to work flawlesly with my iPhone 5S as well as my wife’s iPhone 5S (both version 1.6.9 & IOS 7.04 and 7.1) and my iPad 3 (IOS 5.1, version unknown).
Now, each time i start Flick it closes itself after 5 or 10 seconds in iPhones as well as iPad.
Tried everithing and always got same result.
I hesitate to update because my iPad will run 5.1 until it dies and there is no update (to my knowledge) that suports this IOS version.
Why Flick stopped working in three different devices the same way, it starts, nothing happens and then closes itself?
Googled everywhere but no one can help.
What’s going on, any clue? I need Flick for my work and cannot understand why an application could stop working suddenly in three different devices with the same behaviour.
Thank You.
Hi, it looks like the problem may have been caused by an update to our server, which wasn’t tested on the old versions of the app. We have changed some things now, can you check if the app opens correctly?
The latest versions of Flick fix this problem, but they only support iOS 6 and above…
It’s working now, at last!
Even works on my iPad with IOS 5.1 as did before.
Thank You for your quick response.
I was so excited today to discover Mac App Store allowed me to download Flick for Mac 10.6.8, but the Flick application sometimes doesn’t show up in the menubar even though it’s running. My iPhone can see the Flick application running on my mac and I can flick stuff towards it, but nothing shows up on my mac. I’m so close to true integration between my iOS and OSX devices!
Thank you for the great app! I was wondering if there is a way to access the settings from a mac computer and a pc? Specifically I would like to change the name that shows up to my other devices since currently my mac and pc show the same name and when both are running it’s somewhat confusing which machine I’m moving files to. Not a deal breaker but being able to change one or the other would be very convenient. Thanks so much!
Hi, thanks for using Flick! Currently Flick uses your device name, so in order to change it you would need to change your device’s name and then restart Flick:
Windows: Right-click Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Computer Name tab > Change
Mac: Apple logo top left > System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name at the top
Amazing!!!
I have an IPHONE 4. A long time ago I Downloaded FLICK and it worked very Well but today it was actualiced and after that, the app doesn,t open. What happened? I hope you understand me because I don’t know English very well
Hi, our last update had a bug that caused a crash on iOS 7 and below. We have already submitted a new update to fix it, you should get it in about a week…
Is this app available for windows phone
Hi, we are currently working on updating Flick and bringing out new versions for Windows and Windows Phone. If you would like to be notified when it becomes available, you can follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_flick
I have downloaded the app on my iphone. Unfortunately, it just won’t open. I have rebooted my phone, deleted and reloaded the app. But when I click on the icon it enlarges and then automatically closes. Any quick fixes?
Hi, the last version of Flick we uploaded to the app store had a bug that would cause it to crash on iOS 7 and below, but we have already uploaded a new update to fix it. Once Apple has approved it in a few days, you should automatically get the update…
Awesome! Thank you. I should really update my phone one of these days too. Appreciate the quick response.
very awesome app..
i really love it..
thank you so much…
My daughter uses flick and the only save option is to the icloud. How can I change the storage location to her ipad?
Hi Amy, there are two ways to save files in Flick for iOS. The first way (selecting Save from the popup menu) shows a list of apps that support direct saving. You can press the More button to enable any other apps that may be installed.
The second way, is to press Open from the popup menu, and then press the Share button in the top-right (tap the screen if the button is not there). This brings up the list of apps you can open the file in.
Since iOS doesn’t have a “file system”, if you want to save files to the local device, you need to get a File Manager app from the app store, and then save files to it using either of the above methods…
