Description
Tumblr is a place to discover and post about stuff you love, and join communities of people who love that same stuff. It’s pretty neat.
Q: What can I post on Tumblr?
A: Photos, videos, live videos, songs, text—pretty much anything.
Q: Can I make gifs?
A: Yes, you CAN make gifs! You can make them out of videos, bursts, live photos, or just shoot them on the spot.
Q: What’s the deal with “reblogging”?
A: It’s a way to take the stuff you find on Tumblr and make it your own. You can repost other people’s posts to your own blog. You can add commentary if you like. Other people can do the same with your posts. That’s how ideas spread on Tumblr, and it’s how communities form around them.
Q: Who’s on Tumblr?
A: People who are posting and reblogging about interesting stuff that you’re interested in. Politics. Movies. Memes and such. If you’ve ever seen anything interesting on the internet, chances are it came from Tumblr.
Q: How do I talk to people on Tumblr?
A: A few different ways. You can comment on a post, or you can reblog a post to your own Tumblr and add commentary, or you can send a private message. Whatever suits the occasion.
Q: How do I find stuff to follow?
A: Search for whatever you’re interested in. We’ll show you great posts about that stuff, and get you following the people who make those posts. Oh, you can also follow a search itself, and we’ll put sift the best material from that search right into your dashboard.
Q: What kind of stuff are people talking about on Tumblr *right now*?
A: Whatever’s happening in the world. The real world, the world of fiction, the world of pop culture, the world of academics, the world of safety and justice, the world of sports. Whatever world you live in, you’ll find it among all the trending topics in the search tab.
Q: Do all Tumblrs look the same?
A: No! You can totally customize your Tumblr’s appearance, right down to the colors and fonts you use.
Q: How will people find my Tumblr?
A: Tag your posts. Tumblr is full of passionate communities of people who are constantly searching through tags for new posts about stuff they love. Your stuff could be that stuff.
Q: Am I ready to download Tumblr, deepen my perspective, and forever change the way I think?
A: Yes.

Customer Reviews
Tumblr is consistently glitchy
Normally, I'm pretty happy with the app, but lately it will not load many gifs properly and some are dead. Today I reblogged a pic set and one pic refuses to load. Also, somehow my blog order got switched and I had to go move it back by it wouldn't let me drag it unless I was on be computer and even then it wouldn't at first. FINALLY got it switched back. Anyway, one thing I'd sure like to see is the ability to upload gifs when responding to an ask. It's always a little iffy how that all works. And also trying to upload a picture and apply a credit link? For get it - has to be done in the computer. Good app - but limited and glitchy.
Great app! One tiny feature request...
I'm not a big fan of social media in general, but I love this app. It's a wonderful escape from the real world that is both calming and inspiring.
I didn't read many of the previous reviews, so I'll apologize in advance if this has already been requested. To the developers: Is it easy/possible to enable landscape orientation when the iPhone is rotated? It's certainly not a deal breaker, but I'd probably bump my rating up to 5 stars if it happened some day.
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
IMPORTANT SUGGESTION
1)make a button on the app that allows you to scroll all the way to the first post and then look at all the post from the first post.
2) make it so users can save the location of their scrolling, so that if the app crashes or is closed, the user can pick up where they left off, instead of having to go through page after page, looking for the place they left off
