Being the official Tumblr app, I intentionally saved this app for last. Quite frankly, when it comes to features and interface, it is still the best app to use if you want to update your Tumblr account using your iPhone. The Tumblr iPhone app lets you post quotes, photos, video, audio and more on your Tumblelog. It also lets you check your Tumblr dashboard and see all your posts from each of your blogs including drafts and posts in the queue. The app also supports searching across Tumblr, in your dashboard or on your posts. If you’re using iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, you can directly posts video content you’ve captured using your iPhone. It also lets you save unfinished posts manually or automatically when you receive a call or quit the app. (Price: Free) (Download link)

So What is the Best Tumblr App for iPhone?

Obviously when it comes to the question of what is the best Tumblr App for iPhone, the official Tumblr app gets our vote. If you want a simple app that will just let you quickly post updates on your Tumblelog all the other four Tumblr iPhone apps will get you going, so you can download any of them on your iPhone.
