Much needed Tumblr third party app!
Back in the early days of social media and the AppStore, there used to be a plethora of third party apps for services still trying to find their market and community.
Thankfully CatHand has kept up on iOS SDK updates to keep their simple, but sleek tumblr app up to snuff and I didn't even realize when they added multiple account support, and that's so welcome compared to the backwards account swapping that the 1st part app is.
Tumbletail has about the best interface for casual browsing and catching up on photo blogs and illustrators.
Love love love the app. Keep up the great work, CatHand!
2017-03-10
Ugh
I used to really like this app, but I feel it rarely works as well as it used to. It gives me errors for no reason saying the cache is full even when it's emptied and it says the service is unavailable. It's too unreliable now.
2016-11-14
I like the app but...
After the second time having deleted the cache and then deleting the app, I am going to try and find a Tumblr aggregator that isn't such a memory hog. It is consistently the top space user on my iPad.
2016-10-28
Images stopped loading
Image loading issues which were present at launch have been fixed.
I use this app to manage 4 blogs across two separate accounts and it makes life so much easier.
2016-10-20
I love this app a lot
However, I'm really sad that you haven't search NSFW content anymore. I run two blogs and one of them is a NSFW blog I used to have this for that blog and the normal Tumblr app for the other, but now this app cuts off being able to find and search for more blogs and content that are 18+. A feature I used religiously. Having an option to turn it off would have been better than to just remove it completely. I'd like to have the NSFW search back with a toggle to opt out.
2016-10-17
Issues with current update
The most current update is not loading my likes. (Most current ios uodate is installed - iPhone 6 user.)
I have cleared cache, force restarted the phone, deleted and re-downloaded the app all a couple of times.
It shows me the three most current likes and that is all and it wont "load more" to show me the rest of my like history.
2016-10-05
Fantastic!
The best way to view Tumblr.
2016-09-23
No sound
Video sound not working it's been couple of month now
2016-09-21
Please read and get back to me
No sound will work with any of your current apps. I'm a huge fan of Tumbletail full version for iPhone and it's terribly disappointing to not be able to hear sound.
2016-07-10
Posting options very limited
I was extremely disappointed to buy this app only to find its posting options are so limited for tumblr as to be next to useless for my purposes. Photo, text, quote, link only! No obvious video posting support. No obvious support options. Poor!
2016-06-02
Crashes nonstop
Crashes every time i open it and i guess since the developer hasn't done an update in 6 months...guess i need to give up too. too bad it was a really good app. until lately.
2016-05-28
Fix the crashing!
still keeps crashing. im on an iPhone 6s plus and when scrolling for a few seconds it crashes! this used to be a very good app. even recommended it to a few of my friends.
2016-03-15
Great app
I love this app i use it every day, far more than the official app. I just wish there was support for audio posts, automatic tagging based on the type of post (i.e. When rebloging a text post the tag "text" would automatically be tagged with that post), and seeing my notifications would be great as well. If those features were added that would really put this app over the top
2016-01-14
Best app for Tumblr!
AMAZING. Browsing, liking, reblogging, saving - this app makes Tumblr my addiction because it's so easy and delightful to use.
2015-12-21
Pls fix bug
Love the app 👌🏽
2015-12-12
Better than the official client.
Love this!
2015-09-19
iOS 9 update needed
Was a great app that has been working perfectly for years. With the new iOS however the lock screen does not work properly. Just needs a fix.
2015-08-25
Slideshow
I love this app but where is the slideshow function????! Please put this in and I'll change my rating to 5 stars and also allow for 1 sec next photo, allow slideshow for likes post as well, and allow shuffle mode, thanks
2015-06-02
The way the tumblr app should be!
It just needs tumblr to let other people release the NSFW lock and it's like tumblr never got sold.
2015-04-26
Great Tumblr reader for power users, but...
Excellent app on iPhone , and even better on iPad for convinient feed browsing. It seems it is optimized towards image viewing, and less for text or video (just a webview = occasional distored text layout + (sometimes) no video playback. Didn't check music posts yet.
Some features/optimizations i would like to see
- Touch ID
- comments
- more gestures (like, reblog)
- proper Share Sheet (not hidden in a sub-menu)
- contact sheets for galleries (2/3 images per row, not a stripe)
2015-04-22
Disappointed
I loved the app and still do but I hate this update. I can't view my searched tag history , my post or anybody else's blog ; please fix this right away.Every Time I add a bookmark it gets erased , please fix this.
2015-04-19
*Notes* View?
I love the app, but I really wish that there was a way to view the Notes (Likes/Reblogs) for a post. I refer to them to find like-minded blogs/people. Add this ability and my review will be 5 stars.
2015-01-02
Was good before Slideshow mode broke
This was a great app that I used a lot... until the more recent version where slideshow mode doesn't seem to work anymore. I don't know why tf they took it out, it was the best part of the app. It kind of works okay without it.
2014-12-10
First review I've ever written.
Gotta say that this is one of my favorite apps I own! I love it!
2014-11-24
Great
Great program. It crashes occasionally.
2014-11-02
Better than the official app
This app offers more options than the official Tumblr app. View multiple images in the timeline, turn off gif auto play, reblog with original tags and much more.
2014-08-09
Terrific
By far the best tumblr experience on any device. Very well thought-out.
2014-06-26
My go-to tumblr app
I know a lot of people aren't a fan of the layout but I find it great for going through my dash and being able to select what exactly I want to view.
2014-06-01
Awful update
I don't know what happened with the most recent update, but I can't switch between accounts as easily anymore. I used to be able to do this by touching the word "Dashboard" at the top of the screen. But it's disappeared with this update. This used to be my "go to" app for Tumblr, but until this is fixed I'm going to have to look for something else.
2014-05-31
Update is disappointing!
The feature to easily switch among all my tumblr accounts without logging in and out of each one individually no longer exists! This feature was the only reason I used tumbletail lite. I actually bought the full version based on this attribute a few days ago and now it's gone! Truly disappointed with this update.
2014-04-03
Love this app
This is a great app. Much better than tumblr's native app for seamless browsing
2014-03-30
Thanks
Crash, crash, tumbletail lite the same just crash. Please fix this soon ,i use it every Day, its my fav. App. Thanks
2014-03-30
Usually
It's usually the best tumblr app out there. As of recently it won't stay open. Fix soon.
2014-03-29
It's crashing help!!!
It's starting to crash I can't open it anymore b it was a good alternative to the app and it's quick on reblogging
2014-03-20
Great but...
We need to read and write comments
Please add
2014-01-23
I use this app all the time
Best tumblr app fo sho
2014-01-19
Best tumblr pic app yet
Fast, fully featured, a pleasant surprise given the awkward interface. Given the lack of good tumblr pic apps on the store this one stands out as the best.
Only thing that prevents me from giving 5 stars, there's a bug when you link to view another blog off your dashboard or via search, following, or bookmarks, and switch to full screen, after the first pic if you hit back it takes you back to the dashboard or menu screens, respectively, instead of the detail info for that pic. Therefore you can only view the pics one at a time at that point and if you want the overview you have to go back and select that blog again (or swipe back to the first pic) ... Hopefully an easy fix in a future release.
One other it's strange how you enter your tumblr account information directly to the app instead of through the Tumblr auth portal, though from what I can tell your password is stored locally on your device and not on a third party server, no way for me to know for certain though.
2014-01-19
Great app
If you like reblogging a lot of posts you will love this app. Absolutely awesome app for tumblr fans.
2014-01-18
Crash in 3.65 is fixed.. really quick. Thanks, CatHand!
Tumbletail is my go to App for browsing (and sometimes posting) to Tumblr.
Like some other folks, I upgraded to the 3.65 version and got the crashing... I contacted the Dev on Twitter and a couple days later? FIXED.
These things sometimes happen, and responsiveness from Devs is great. Remember kids: Developers often DO NOT read reviews. It's just too depressing.
Contact the Devs any other way: Mail, Twitter, NOT here. At the very least use the 'report a problem' button and let the dev try and push a fix.
Tumbletail is back to its old reliable state, and I'm happy. Yes I've tried (and bought) some others.... I just keep going back to this great App.
2014-01-17
App Crashing! Please fix.
AMAZIng App. However, she is crashing. Please help get the five stars back. Cheers.
2014-01-17
WAT?
Crashing!!! Fix!!! Plz!!!
2014-01-17
Avoid newest update
As others have stated it shuts down randomly
2014-01-17
Finally!!
The latest update finally puts the app over the top! No more animation overload on my dashboard, no more expanded photosets (let me expand them myself) - now the app is a 5-star app!
Update: 1/16 - Unfortunately I've got to modify my rating. The app crashes when trying to view posts.
2014-01-17
Last update Broke it....
Love this app but the last update makes it crash every time you try to visit anyone else's tumblr blogs....
😩😩😩😩😩

Best tumblr app ever
Best app for viewing tumblr photos ever. Wish it was updated more to make user experience better. But I still love it cuz it does exactly what I want.
Can u please make the dashboard viewing fullscreen without the toolbars. Like make them auto hide until I tap the lower part of the screen
2013-11-26
Close but not quite there
I love this app but it could be way better. The grid display for pics is awesome but a feature to turn the gifs off on the dashboard would be nice since they make loading so much slower. Add an option to send and recieve your tumblr messages would be nice. This app is better than the official tumblr app but still needs some more work.
2013-11-04
Bug fix needed!
Always loved this app. One of the few where you can save groups of tags and quickly reuse for future posts. However, when creating new tags you can no longer see what you are typing. This makes creating a string of tags without a typo very challenging. Too big of a bug to not be fixed after months.
App is great for quick reblogs if not worried about adding your own tags. Also great for easily downloading full size images.
2013-11-04
Current version has bugs
After about 50 posts the app will freeze and won't allow you to tap any other posts. Fix this and I'll change my review
2013-10-21
Great Alternative to the Official App
Running this on my fairly old 4th generation iPod Touch and it works great. It runs a lot smoother for me than the official Tumblr app, the button layout for liking, reblogging, and etc are all placed nicely and conveniently, and I really prefer the layout of the dashboard compare to other apps since it makes it much easy to scroll through and not nearly as much of a pain to find something. There are a bunch of settings to tweak to your liking like auto queuing when you hit the reblog button and more! Definitely recommended.
2013-09-17
COOL, WEIRD, TANGY, CONFUSING
So many tumblr apps, hard to keep up with how to use them and which ones have password lockout. I have several accounts and some of the material is sensitive, and so does my youngest daughter apparently.. Oh well.
2013-02-15
c'mon fix the bugs
This used to be my favorite app for tumblr but with the recent improvements to the official tumblr app I have stopped using this one. I started using it again when I saw that I could see my drafts better then I could in the official app but when I tried to reblog from my drafts the app crashed!! ughhh fix it!
2013-01-03
Good but not great
This is the best app I've found for viewing pictures in your dashboard. Quick loading, good (but not great) interface, and full-screen mode.
Where it falls down is discovery. There's no way that I've found to view/follow other blogs who posted or favorited a given image, which is my personal favorite means of discovering new people or content. If this is fixed or improved, this is easily a 5 star app.
Edit: Now that Tumblr's official app is out, this one, unfortunately, doesn't really compete well. The only real advantage it has is the passcode lock, but the official app does enough things better that this one isn't really competing.
2012-12-24
Almost...
I really do love this Tumblr app especially that you can see all your dashboard pics at once. It's almost perfect but you cannot watch videos. What gives?
2012-11-25
Very Impressive
This is a very well thought out app. I'm not one for buying apps when the free/lite version works perfectly well but I did for this one. Clean interface puts your dashboard front and center.
The ability to download to your camera roll is great but the option to interface with Evernote is brilliant. It'll interface with Dropbox as well. I'd give 5 stars if you could set various filters for the dashboard.
2012-11-08
Almost Perfect
Love the interface and the app overall with two notable and significant features for me missing
- not able to view videos
- not able to view notifications
2012-10-10
Hands down the BEST Tumblr app!!!
This is by FAR the best Tumblr App I have ever used. The only one that even comes close is img tumbl...and this one tops that and doesn't bug up. Totally worth two dollars, and I NEVER buy apps.
2012-09-14
Has issues
It looks appealing but this version has issues, it doesnt allow me to log in by giving "login failed" errors. Logged in with tumblr via web to check if its a problem on my side but it was fine. Hopefully they fix tumbletail in the next update.
2012-07-15
Well done
Well done app and the author responds to feedback. Several fixes I am other people have asked for. My favorite tumblr client and it keeps getting better.
2012-04-01
Great for tumblr addicts
No what language this is an app worth buying.
Manly if you are a tumblr addict. This app makes it great to reblog post. The only downside is you can send or answer questions on here hopefully they will fix this in the future.
2012-03-19
Great, but needs a couple of tweaks...
Love this Tumblr client (especially since there's not a native Tumblr client that's optimized for the iPad...REALLY??) but it needs two mods to make it excellent. 1) Need to be able to comment on reblogged items and 2) when going back from fullscreen view to thumbnails, the client should go to the thumbnail you were viewing fullscreen, rather than the one you were looking at when you opened full screen view. Other than those two minor items, this is a really well designed app.
2012-02-13
New problem
I have found this to be the best overall tumblr app in the app store, but for the last few weeks I keep getting a "Load failed. Bad request" error on both this and tview when attempting to reblog. You can do a workaround but I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue. Please fix!
Although I still prefer tumblr gear, this one runs a close second. Some issues, nothing serious. Would still like to be able to post to my alternate tumblrs without having to leave the app but none of the other tumblr iPhone apps does this either.
2012-01-17
Can't delete an account
I love the features of this app, but I'm giving 3 stars because it doesn't seem to let you delete or log out of an account once you've signed in. Both account delete and logout features would help greatly.
2011-10-31
Great reader... Just keeps getting better.
Love the reader. Really like the new navigation improvements and discoverability of similar blogs, with the addition of "reblog" and "original poster" attribution.
My only complaint is the "following" status is no longer functioning (it worked before the update). It reports that a blog is not followed, when it really is.
Still giving it a 5 star, as Tumbletail is the BEST Tumblr reader available.
Update: still not resolved as of 3.2.6
2011-08-27
Love it!
Great Tumblr app! Easy to use, versatile and quick loading (much better than trying to see blogs on Safari).
2011-08-26
Just one annoying thing.
the biggest problem I'm facing with it is that when someone uploads "photos" it only shows 1, the first or last. I've been rebloging without knowing that I didn't only reblog the pic I saw, but many more... This made me see every photo on safari before rebloging and that is annoying. Other than that This app is amazing and you actually can add posts to your reblogs just keep holding the reblog button, and the last update had animated gifs,
2011-08-18
Best Tumblr Application
This is a good app that lacks certain small functionalities that could make it a great app.
For example, it'd be great to be able to see your followers count. It'd also be great to be able to define your preference of reblog in your settings: public, private, or queued. If you scroll through images too quickly, reblogs and likes don't process.
2011-08-08
Wow!
This app is freaking amazing! It has slideshows and takes 1 simple click to reblog something, not to mention the pictures are faster and better quality then regular tumblr. Great job, who ever designed this knew what they were doing :)
2011-08-07
Add text to reblogs?
Am I just missing something or is there no way to add text to reblog posts? Whenever I hit the reblog button, it just reblogs the post and doesn't give me the chance to add anything.
Other than that, great app - nice and fast, and I love the interface. Love the Dropbox and Evernote integration.
2011-07-09
Really love it, but...
I do really love the program, use it all the time... but... I really don't like the new thumbnail layout. I would like to a couple options. One, to go back to the way the thumbnails used to be displayed. Two, is if you could add a button like the Unfollow one that will let you Follow some posts that you don't already follow. Right now you have to go to the users site and select follow if you can get to the + Follow option that is sometimes hidden under the Tumbletail bar at the top.
2011-07-05
Hate the new layout..
I really loved this app until the most recent version. It did everything that I wanted and worked flawlessly. Then, the layout was changed and.. Yuck. -2 stars for that. Pleas bring back the old layout. Thanks.
2011-07-01
Post history not shown
The interface and smooth loading of the app are made well. Better than most of other tumblr app. But lack the function showing the reblog history, where it is in the demonstration pic but not in the actual app.
2011-04-21
Great for photos, but...
...an option to put reblogs in the queue would be awesome. This could be chosen by the user as the default action when hitting the reblog button (instead of instant reblogging).
2011-04-19
Koala-tea
This is a great tumblr app. Much better than the official app. It makes it so easy to go through your dash and to reblog. Only thing that I think is missing is GIF support. Other than that it does a great job and I can browse my dash almost easier than I can on my computer.
2011-04-16
Very good but limited
It's a very efficient way to view and reblog images. However, a few things would make it better.
First, gif support is a basic that's completely missing here. Another basic is the ability to see notes. I like seeing the history of a cool post. And then following new people, which you can't do here either.
Finally, it'd be awesome to reblog between accounts.
Making these adjustments would render the official Tumblr app pointless. Otherwise, we still need both.
