Seems really buggy. Profile picture not appearing on blog homepage. Searching known blogs comes up with nothing. Loading photos from camera loads oldest first, takes aaaaaages.

Crash-logout bug... There seems to be a glitch that keeps logging me out randomly while browsing (I'm not initiating the logout). It's happened numerous times now.

Necessary stuff. Need formatting options in posts!! Bloody complex to add a new post - NEED a dedicated button in main toolbar. Also, trying to upload a photoset/gifset post is ridiculous - it always fails and never saves the draft when it fails to upload. And the dashboard feed/search barely loads any images when results are gif-or-pic-heavy. GAHHH!

Staff couldn't code their way out of a paperbag. Still force closing after months and now it randomly locks up my device forcing me to hard reset it. Fix your coding or start over and release a new app.

As usual, a bug in the latest update Ever since the latest update, tumblr will randomly log me out and close itself without warning, usually in the middle of me reblogging a post. It's more a mild annoyance than anything app breaking, but it would be nice to not to have to go search for the post I wasn't able to reblog.

More efficient but... Main account disappears often (for example when you search a tag on your blog, but its not limited to that), still cannot delete messages in inbox, clicking the icon in an answered Private ask redirects you to your blog instead of user, etc. I am happy about blocking on mobile however but would love to see the account issue fixed. This app is practically unusable with how frequent this happens.
I hate this app and the fact it exists This app sucks. It has always sucked and it always will. Messages don't work. My main blog keeps disappearing from my blog list. The app constantly crashes, and when it restarts, it's worse than it was before. It takes forever to load anything, on Wi-Fi or not. I really really really hate this app. Tumblr, you really suck.
Did this ever work? Each new update seems to break it in new and surprising ways. From force closing to suddenly refreshing staff has done it all. The newest update seems to be the pinnacle of their stupidity as they not only broke one thing but the entire app. Sure, they fixed the crashing but killed everything else. You can't scroll, make posts or share anything because, surprises of surprises, all of the buttons don't work. So, unless looking at the same pic without being able to do anything is your thing this is your app.
Riddled with Ads The most patronising kind of Ads too. An out of touch corporate idea of the 'tumblr/hipster' market. Think I'm going to stick to the browser version as I can at least run ad block. The functionality of the app itself is good although Tumblr desperately needs to add a 'frequently used tags' feature for quick tagging, you know like WordPress has had for probably around a decade.
I'm on tumblr constantly, but between this and the site I don't know which is more broken. The last few updates have caused a major glitch where if I am on my desktop messaging someone via the messenger system, the notifications on my phone start stacking and eventually cause my entire phone to become unresponsive. I have to take out the battery just to get my phone working again.
Complaints!! Out of nowhere, the app crashed and logged me out. Refreshing either of my blogs causes the app to crash. Images take a very long time to load. Anyone I've blocked is still in my activity feed, as following me, I don't want that. And asks that I've already replied to, stay in my activity feed, as if I didn't reply. I'm rarely getting notifications from blogs I chose to get notifications from, when they post something. Get rid of fan-mail. Get rid of the recommended blogs on my dash.
Lots of bugs Tumblr is one of my favourite apps but from last few updates there are many bugs in it like it won't change my profile pic, most of the pictures and gifs won't load, when I open a blog or search something, after a while the app crashes. Updates of who is following you and who liked your photo wouldn't display and in some the followers names would display twice. Pz plz fix
Full of Issues There is the lack of a block function on user pages when the iOS app has had this feature for a while now and the actual site has had it for MONTHS, the STILL ridiculous amounts of ads and unwanted recommended blogs cluttering my dash, blocked blogs continue to show up as following me in my activity feed when they previously disappeared following being blocked, and the lack of AN ACTUALLY USEFUL CHANGELOG. With how many problems this app has had, I want to know WHAT WAS FIXED.

Hey there Calia. The blog you post to is a "sticky setting" - so if you choose to post your secondary one time, it will remain on that blog until you tell the app otherwise! Sorry for the confusion here. Broken. The app normally works fine... For all of about ten seconds. Each time, the app has severe loading problems, often failing to load images after only fifteen or so posts. This is aside from the abysmal amounts of lag that it normally experiences, and it crashes every time. Overall a horrible experience created by a team that has the right idea, but is complete crap in their execution. Do not recommend this to anyone.
Could be better, but won't be Works broadly well enough, except for key problems like loading the wrong images into posts, and crashing upwards of 10+ times a day for unspecified reasons. Half the time, the browser interface works better, or at least crashes far less often. I doubt any fixes are forthcoming, however, since it's been like this for literally months.
New update sucks Absolutely love tumblr although the phone app has some shortcomings it's still great but since the last few updates, I'm experiencing reblog problems. I keep getting messages telling me "can't upload, well try again later", which never happens. If I upload few pictures (8 or more) Tumblr crashes and shuts down!
The blue collar of real blogging and connecting with social media everywhere, ADDITIONALLY, also designed for nonstop entertainment of any/all kind. Best blogging site yet. Most get more personalized and secure to benefit the users individual identity or allow them to practice online journaling faster. Moreover, the majority also get focused on the details of every word on each page, such as the font, background, or format, to honor the same loyalty for new users who are here for things like entertainment and networking with other social media, all the way to things like scrapbooking your family's daily life privately online. Private or public, LOVE IT.
Acts Like a Garbage! Slowest social media app in the store. Won't load anything. Takes almost half an hour to load a single photo or a GIF all the time ...let alone videos. Can't connect to the network normally often even with a stable fast connection speed. Crashes frequently just after showing its drama and then find self auto logged out all on a sudden... everytime. No way near the web experience or any other social app.
Decent. This app is one of my favorites. Very well done and smooth. Feels very refined.
Block Feature From my observations Tumblr is one of those better ideas about the internet. I hadn't realised there wasn't a block feature. I would very much like this feature to be added. That way no one sees content they don't want to. Facebook has a similar feature and I think it wouldn't be too far of a stretch of Tumblr's capabilities to install the same.

What's New
Tumblr 5.4 is soaked in messaging things:
There are now sounds for Tumblr messages: Bloops for notifications, fwips when you’re in the app, and shlings when you’ve got something to say. Turn them on in Settings, turn them up with the volume switch.
Send-a-post is in the share menu (...), which also has a new look.
And you can send things over Facebook Messenger to those friends who get you but don’t really get why you’re “Tumblr famous.”
