| 2025-02-04 |  | | Video player UI is too tall and the touch targets are too large. I should be able to see the full text of a tag after hitting enter/comma. The queue is a bit of a nightmare. I have ~200 posts queued. If I queue a post and then decide I wanna edit/remove it, I have to scroll through all 200 posts to get to the most recent one. Then after I edit/remove it, I am sent back to the top of the list. Let me sort the queue by soonest/latest to be posted. |
| 2025-02-01 |  | | i've never had a problem with tumblr tbh. works well, easy to navigate, easy to post. the only weird thing is that it says i'm using an ad blocker when i'm on my computer, i'm not using one— maybe the app reads an extra extension (i have an extension to change my mouse) as an ad blocker but idk. it doesn't really bother me tho lol. good app overall |
| 2025-01-29 |  | | I've had this app ever since 2020 and geez, what happened? My app can no longer load at all and keeps saying that my connection is off even though it's working well fine. I've tried everything, redownloading it, forcing it to eat, but nothing. I swear it was working well fine just a few days ago... Please fix this issue, I wanna read fanfictions in peace. Edit: Seems like it's finally working better again. Thank you! |
| 2025-01-29 |  | | Getting inconsistent notifications for DMs is infuriating. I'm not one to ignore my friends, so it would be nice if the app did its very simple job and notified me when I get a message. Sometimes it does, but it fails to send a push notification when a DM is received far, FAR too often for my liking. I've checked both settings in my phone and the app, too, so I know this isn't my fault. Edit: dropping this to one star, not even support has answered this one for me |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | Uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled and still can't log in or make it work on wifi. But when on Data, everything works. Seems I'm not the only 1 experiencing this. How stupid can this be? Supposedly been a issue for months and yet Tumblr, you can't or won't do anything until everyone is experiencing this issue? Whoever heard of an app that will only work over cellular data and then becomes useless over wifi at home, office etc? Stupid as stupid can be! |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | I have been really enjoying Tumblr since I joined about 2 years ago, it is a really enjoyable way to get into communities around all the things you love. I love how much you can communicate on your posts, not alot of limits, you can write a whole essay or just post a pic. The app has also performed well for me, nice and smooth interface, very reactive and easy to navigate. I think it could still be improved to more easily find details like number of followers but great start so far. |
| 2025-01-27 |  | | The app was great! However, the past few days, I am currently experiencing problems with it even though my internet connection is great. Just now, I tried logging out to solve the issue then logging in back again. But, I can't log back in to the app right now no matter how much troubleshooting was made. |
| 2025-01-27 |  | | Really the only social media I feel I come towards willingly and not because of some algorithm. The firsts days in the app are kind of boring and hard to accustome to the social media's system and social norms, but after you find your niche it all starts to click and the app is really enjoyable. The app's UI itself is confusing at times, but also filled with a lot of charm. |
| 2025-01-23 |  | | I went to tumblr after the Tiktok ban and my gawd this app is just awful🤮. It's full of ads, the content on here is stale and boring, and the app is very laggy with malfunctioning issues. The first day i downloaded it was working fine but now videos dont show and play, scrolling for more than 5 seconds causes the app to lag, and theyve implemented a "premium" option just to not have ads show up every other post. It's insane just how bad its gotten since i last used it in 2014-2016. |
| 2025-01-23 |  | | i love the app! its really easy to work, and all the different content i see is great!! 💕💕💕 i get to see smaller artists and writers along with bigger ones, and its all widespread throughout my interests. the only downside is that it can kinda get consistent, so you gotta manually look up stuff you wanna see on your feed more often than not, but thats MOST apps so idk if thats much of an issue :3 |
