### 4/5 — Nice and simple, could be better

*2022-11-05*

I’ve been looking for an easy third party Tumblr client and decided to try this out as several of the others available are outdated or not really what I want. Interface is easy and simple to use but I feel like a couple features would really make the app better. 

The double and triple tapping to like or reblog is a great feature, but I wish there was a way to add tags to the reblogged content as I like to keep my posts organized and searchable—maybe a long press of the reblog button? Even better if I could save a group of commonly used tags so I wouldn’t need to type the same group of tags over and over again. I also wish there was an option for infinite scrolling, or at least a longer scroll dash. The side swiping per post is fine but a scroll option would be preferred. 

I would also like for a button to queue posts. That would be an amazing addition. 

Otherwise this is a simple app that does exactly what it’s advertised to do. Like and reblog posts.

### 4/5 — A good Tumblr viewer

*2022-05-29*

Would be nice to see an additional option for endless scroll, like the traditional Tumblr dashboard. The “book flipping” UI takes some getting used to and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Otherwise, a good app that lets you like/reblog, as well as displaying your dash.
