I originally used ShortBlogger to browse Tumblr on my phone, but switched to the official app several months ago. Their interface is significantly better for browsing content and represents the most modern design standards. SB feels like it is a generation behind. My biggest complaint is how small images appear on SB, especially when you compare the thumbnail-sized images to Tumblr' full width approach.
This does work a lot better than the Official Tumblr app, but there are a few things you missed that are important. When someone you follow reblogs something, it does not say who they reblogged. While on the dashboard you should be able to go a person's blog by tapping on either their name or their icon. If there is a text post with pictures inserted into it, you are unable to view those pictures. When you go to someone's blog, there is no option to ask a question anonymously if they have that feature.
Can't post pictures. When it goes to your gallery and you tap the picture you want to upload, the app crashes. Everything else is superior to the "official" Tumblr app. 2/20/2016 - Ok, been over a year since the last update. Has the developer abandoned this app?
Has not worked since I installed 5.0 Lollipop. Was iffy before now it's worse. Still waiting on that 5.0 support. And now won't even actually crash anymore to attempt to send reports, just backs out after a few seconds. Still terrible.
I love that I can bold text and whatnot, also loads faster than the official app most times. as for privacy concerns, this app doesn't keep the info to my tumblr account, right? like I don't have to worry about getting hacked using this app?
It does nothing but crash anymore, & nothing works. I always appreciated RTE & hyperlinks for texts. I have to uninstall as it takes space for nothing. Please fix!!
The app logged me out and then requested that I relogin. After typing both my email and password correctly a dozen times, it says either the email or password is incorrect. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help. Sucks because it's one of my most used apps.
Keeps me from being distracted while letting me read informational posts, though it does have problems. Still, good for my uses. I maonly go on tumblr to stay informed and learn new mental health advice or techniques, so I'm a bit of an oddity.
I use it to write and edit long posts. But there are two serious issues. 1) after editing a post, the version in the app is not updated, so if you edit it again without refreshing you lose everything you changed the first time. An hour of work and creativity gone forever! 2) when editing an old post, the date is set to now so the post is pushed to the top. The date should be unchanged by an edit.
I create a post, and when clicking 'create' I gets logged out. Happens every time. Also, the flashing advertisements at the bottom kills creativity and any possible pleasant experience.
Needs major improvements. It's very slow loading, can't play vids, pics are small in the app & it freezes & crashes all the time. Needs serious update for Lollipop.
Force closes every time I try to open it. A mute feature would also be nice if and when this gets updated for Lollipop.
Won't let me log in. Keeps telling me email or password is wrong.. And it won't load pics when I was logged in.. 2016 now, decided to try again. Constantly crashes.
Well it's a great up but....... I can't login to my account even if the password and email I entered is correct. Please fix this.
I've been using a very old phone running android 4.1 and then I got a new phone for my birthday and shortblogger works better on the old one and crashes all the time on this one and I'm SO SAD!!!!!!
The app closes on itself and stops working, And when things loads up it just freezes and closes down.
A pretty good app, loads much faster than the official app, doesn't crash every 5 minutes - but for some reason, can't play gifs? And I think improving the UI will definitely make it a better app. Will be waiting for future updates!
Forced close when trying to make a photo post. Guess I'll have to find another tumblr app.
Last few updates have made it crash more often than not. Basically useless, wish videos loaded or messaging was supported.
Pretty good app. The normal Tumblr app doesn't let me do some of these features. For some reason pics don't show up full width on my G3. Also: doesn't have to do with anything, but your logo has a really annoying typeface.
Can't use it, keeps crashing while loading 'dashboard'
This use to be a great client to tumblr. .. please fix, been like this for a while now
A few cons but then why did you download this app instead of the actual Tumblr app then?
I very much appreciate Rich Text, would rate 5⭐ if the Dashboard didn't crash so much. The classic app added messaging & ask notifications, which would be handy. Otherwise
I use this app to draft and edit posts while I'm mobile, its the only app I can use because the formatting comes out perfectly ! Thank you!
Videos don't play, layout is clunky, and constantly fails to start with an ssl certificate error
No videos will play , and obvious this app is no longer supported since no reviews since December 2014 , or updates since sept. 2014 , but that would be a shame , since this is better by leaps and bounds than the official app ..
Was the best, now, can't upload pics anymore.

Useful since the tumblr Message box gives time stamps. There are a few bugs but its ok overall. I'll give five stars if you make it a bit more colorful, and allow the more adult #s to be accessed.
It keeps crashing out of nowhere. It's unstable. I want to like this app, but it's making it hard.
I have no idea what went wrong. My posts arent pushed to my Facebook page. Why?
This was a great app until it stopped playing videos.
The settings and banner may be fixed but now it will work for a while then suddenly when I go to open it, it just loads a black screen and needs to be reinstalled. This happens at least a couple times a day and it's really inconvenient to have to reinstall an app just to use it.
I can't reply to messages hardly any more the profile pictures, gifs, videos are not working
Better than the actual tumblr app sometimes
I can't even log in. It says my email/password is incorrect. I know it's not.
I'm running on Lollipop and the app just keeps closing everytime I try to open it. It doesn't work at all.
Gives me more information than the official tumblr app, even if the UI leaves a little more to be desired.

I USE TO LOVED This App, For A Good Year I Stayed Logged In, I Just Loved How Much Quicker You Could Scroll Through Your Dashbpard!! BUT THE MOMENT I LOGGED OUT IT DID NOT LET ME LOG BACK IN!!! It Said [Incorrect Username/Password] So For That I Rate It A 2!! Ive Tried To Uninstall/Re-Install The App And Still NOTHING!!!
