Accessibility Comments

Some screen controls are not well labeled, leaving the user lost within the app. Access is available to the controls for messages, new blogs, etc, but the level of difficulty is such that most users will need a lot of patience to learn how to manipulate the app.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads a few page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable.

update to the latest version, 3.1.2, found no improvement. It is workable, but need alot of patient and experiment.

Has anyone tried any of the alternative tumblr apps? Most of them are paid, but Tumblita looks interesting, though I'm not sure how accessible it is. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tumblita-for-tumblr/id400054364?mt=8

Is this app still as inaccessible as it was when the original poster wrote this review?

curious whether the information here still holds true.

Tumblr posts are no longer readable in the app.
