Tumblr iPhone 1.1 is off for review!

I’ve been quite unhappy so far with the Tumblr app. I mean for read access it was quite good, but definitely not something that helped me push out new posts. So, I really hope this messages is not just pure PR.

2. Multiple drafts. Supporting multiple offline drafts would allow someone to create and work on multiple posts.

3. Sync: if you have multiple offline drafts then you’ll want to push some of them live once you get connected.

4. Editable access: the first version allowed posting new entries but there was no way you could edit existing ones within the app. The new version would provide both types of operations

5. Queueing posts: this feature was completely missing from the iPhone Tumblr app.

6. Multiple photo posts: this feature was launched by Tumblr after the iPhone app was out, so hopefully it will be supported by the new version.

7. Text entry image support: this feature was launched just a couple of days ago and while I’ve always missed it, I haven’t tested it yet (basically I replaced the normal process with a Tumblr specific one: create a private post with the photo and then reference it from the new entry). I’d love to have this feature in the new Tumblr iPhone app, but I think the chances are low.

I guess that would be all on my side. So, let the bets begin!
