Main features of FavouriteMX for Windows 8 and 8.1:
Once the app has been installed and launched on your device, you will be presented with a screen as shown below.
As can be seen above, you can either choose to log into the app via the left half of the above screen, or you can also choose to view the publicly available photos in the Flickr world by clicking on the Public button. In both the cases, you will be presented with a similar interface which looks like the below screenshot.
You can see the tiles of highest rated images in the main interface of the app as shown above. The background of the app is not stationary, but it’s a nice smooth fade in slideshow of the images shown on the main interface page. In this interface, you will be able to log in as well via clicking on the icon at the top right. If you are already logged in, clicking on this icon will provide you with an option which allows you to log out of the app. When any of the image tiles is clicked, you will be shown that image in a bigger view as can be seen below.
You can click anywhere outside the image which pops up into a larger size to go back to the main screen. The app has no control bars built in, simply because it doesn’t need them in the very first place. The app scores points for beauty, simplicity and being lightweight.
