- Tumblr Photo Posts Not Working With Android

The community blog is a public arena where anyone can submit short quips, photos, and videos. To submit via your mobile phone: text or email your message to sierrabear (at) tumblr.com

I tried several ways to post pictures to my Tumblr accounts with my new Android phone. I used to have an iPhone. The Android phone, though a bit buggy and complicated at times is a step up for me. Though the iPhone OS and hardware has a much better design, the limitations set upon me by the one and only SJ were driving me nuts. Liberty has its price I guess. Maybe the open source thing with the Android will get old after a while, but so far I’m mostly satisfied. Until today.

The Tumblr app for iPhone worked very well for me. The Tumblr app for Android, however, wont post photos. I tried 4 different apps including the official app, as well as going to the site through two different Android browsers, but to no avail. I even tried to post a photo via a separate URL…nope; doesn’t work.

I don’t know if this is a lack of will on Tumblr’s part or an ignored technical issue, (or maybe I’m an idiot) but whatever the cause, I’m going to have to issue an ultimatum.

Tumblr, I love you for being the best minimalist blog sites. I love that I can use my own URL. Your design sense is impeccable, but if you can’t fix this problem - at least for an Android market that will surpass IOS - I’m just gonna’ have to see other blog sites…like blogger (ugh).

C’mon Tumblr, stay relevant.
