Polar Rose Blog – A blog about sharing photos & other stuff that matters to us
Thanks for the feedback – we’ve been listening!
There has been lots of great feedback about the recent “Sander” release of Polar Rose, a big thanks to everyone for your articles and comments. We have been listening to your input and ideas – two of them in particular have caught our attention…
A recurring theme was users wanting to be able to turn off the wall posts that are posted to a users Facebook wall when they have been naming people.
To be clear on this issue, Polar Rose sends two types of messages via Facebook:
- Notifications to other Facebook users when (and ONLY when) you name them in a photo – notifications to you when your photos are processed or someone requests to follow you.
- A wall post with daily summary of your activity on Polar Rose which is added a maximum of once per day IF there has been any activity in your Polar Rose account.
Another theme was users wanting control over whether tags were synchronized between Polar Rose and the source (Facebook, Flickr etc.) where the original photo came from. Some users don’t want these tags (or photo notes in the case of Flickr) being added to their photos.
We listened and…
We just pushed out a minor release which adds both the functionality to turn off daily summary wall posts (point 2 in the list above) – plus the functionality to disable the synchronization of tags.
Both of these settings can be found on your settings page.
Let us know what you think, and keep the feedback coming!
While it’s nice that you added the setting to remove the daily notification, I think everyone’s problem was with the notification that is sent everytime you tag a person.
Although it’s not difficult to get around but it is annoying.
Flickr now has proper people tags..
Any chance of supporting them?

Someone named a picture of mine without my consent on Polar Rose and I would like that picture of mine to be removed. How do I go about doing this when I don’t even know who named me?
THANKYOU!
Finally I can resume using polarrose!
As Matthew Dickson suggested using Flickr people tags would be excellent.
