In all my app using days there have been few apps that I have been as disappointed in as I have with tumblr. For such a huge website I couldn't have been more surprised. Recently I saw a post about how mobile blogging on tumblr involved looking at gray boxes and either blindly reblogging or reblogging based off of the captions. I couldn't have said it better myself. Now I don't know how the Android app is because when I do use the tumblr app I'm on my iPad mini, but if it's anything like the iOS version it probably sucks too.
- Posts never seem to load. It doesn't matter if you have the fastest internet connection in the world, you'll still be scrolling down your dash looking at gray boxes.
+ While your dash doesn't always automatically update when you scroll to the top, 9 times out of 10 when you first launch the app it will automatically update.
- The notifications button doesn't always light up telling you that you have a new notification. I often find myself going to the notifications and refreshing it manually.
I really can't think of anymore positive things to say about this app and my negatives would just take over this post, so I will end it here. My advice is save yourself the space and don't download it. I also couldn't just give it a 1 star rating because it is tumblr and all.
