After getting a new phone, I tried to get into my account and it insists I make a new one. I don't want a new one. I had updates planned for the one I have. It is my intellectual property.
The app is fine. I used to use it daily until I started getting random rape/harassment threats and comments on my posts that I'd either reblog or post. Apparently it's a bot or a virus or something. They need to get rid of that because now I see no point in using it if all my posts are flooded with these disgusting comments. FIX IT! because I don't feel safe.
This app is pretty user-friendly wrt the interface, but there are bots leaving rape threats on people's posts regularly and nothing is being done about it, and the reporting page gives an error when you hit the submit button.
why its said my account have been terminated? whats that suppose to mean?
WHY IS THERE MUSIC PLAYING WHEN I OPEN THIS APP NOW
it keeps playing random music idk why
This platform appears to allow accounts to upload and share explicit images with insufficient moderation. I found accounts posting large amounts of nude and intimate images, raising serious concerns about privacy, consent, and user safety. What is even more disappointing is the slow response from Trust & Safety when these issues are reported. Reports involving potentially non-consensual intimate images should receive urgent human review, not prolonged automated responses.
APP not working since weeks, nothins showing and keep loading pages
It's a really good app but if the app does not have improvements for more tools to use and a friendly UI/UX in android, i can use it, the newest X android update made me leave Tumblr because X now can replace Tumblr easily.
i hate it and i cant name my name so one i hate you tumblr 😭
I'm so fed up with these unwanted "features". I hate that we're not allowed to long screenshot anymore. There's literally no purpose for blocking this feature. People will have other ways to get around this. Please fix this issue and let us long screenshot again. God, these updates are awful.
this is the only social platform I enjoy using. would be at least 4 stars if it wasn't for the horrible communities it keeps recommending me. I already don't like the community feature, but it's worse now that it's constantly shoving underage girls selfies down my throat with no way to block these communities. it's making me really uncomfortable. I'm an adult who does not need to be seeing risqué selfies made by underage girls. this is alarming please let me block communities.
Tumblr will not allow me to turn off notifications for specific blogs, so if i want to stop receiving notifications i need to completely turn them off for the entire app. if i click a button labeled "stop notifications", then why would you keep sending me notifications?? fix your ui, tumblr. and please don't vibe code another bug into it instead.
im tired of this apps terrible error messages. they give no information about what actually went wrong. "connection went bloop" "tumblr went thud" STOP TRYING TO BE QUIRKY! TELL ME WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG! why did my ask fail to go through? did i hit some sort of invisible character limit? is it just bad connection for this one thing? also, the posting errors dont show you which post failed to send. please, just let me view the details so i can fix the problem! staff still nukes trans girls btw
I love using Tumblr, but again my account was confused as spam when I was sending some messages and my checkbox, blocked. I had already contacted the Tumblr email for reports but my problem is not sold. Please, improve this sector and also the app. This situation happened for the second time
