Tumblr is an Android app that gives you the ability to customize your Tumblr page from your phone. If you use Tumblr to stay connected with loved ones and to make new friends, this is an app that you really need.
The popular website Tumblr is similar to a blogging platform but also lets you connect with other users and share content with them. As you browse the site and view other pages, you'll find accounts based around everything from popular television shows like “Supernatural” and “Doctor Who” to fashion and politics. When you post new content, you use tags that let others know what that content is about.
The Android app is the first mobile version of Tumbler to come with Twitter integration. When you post something new and add your tags, you can click on a button on your phone to instantly share a link to that post on your Twitter account. You can even use the same tags. This feature does require that you log in with your Twitter information and that you stay logged in though.
One of the smartest things that Tumblr did when creating this app was streamline the dashboard to make it look similar to the one available for iPhone users. This dashboard makes it really easy to use Tumblr and gives the mobile version a similar look to the full web version of the page. Once you create a blog post on your phone, you're only seconds and clicks away from sharing it online. The Tumblr app also features integration designed for editing those posts before or after sharing too.
Tumblr for Android will support both audio and video files too. If you have a photo or video on your phone that you want to share, you can use the dashboard to access the film roll to select the file and instantly share it online. You can also use this app to film a new video or take a new photo to share.
One of the best features of the Tumblr dashboard is that you can now use it to connect with others. Each time that you opt to follow another blog or page, the app will add that account to your dashboard. You can then see the most recent posts shared by those accounts on the dashboard.
If you have a Tumblr account and hate logging in every day on your computer to share blogs and post photos, this app is perfect for you. The Tumblr app gives you full access from an Android device.

Tumblr is a quirky and fun social blogging and sharing community that lets you post, find, and connect with others that love the same things you do!
Tumblr allows you to create an unlimited amount of “tumblogs”, or blogs, around any subject you can imagine. It offers all the standard features of uploading text, video, pictures, and even music – but it’s the community that really sets it apart.
Follow people from your address book, send direct messages and live chats, as well as receive notifications when people you follow post updates, gain new followers, or receive new comments on your own tumblogs.
While Tumblr offers a lot of fun and functionality for most, there have been reported issues that should be considered of before installing; scrolling through content can be slow, the application has been known to stop suddenly, and it can be a bit heavy handed on local storage, as well.
Aside from some minor issues, the Tumblr app offers a full and rich experience along with a few perks over its browser app.
