Reddit vs Tumblr

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R20] Reddit 5/5 · US Amazing: Reddit is the biggest lifesaver any question you have people can help you answer it I do a lot of fish camping and I had lots of questions. Why my water was this or is this OK and people would reply back saying whatever
2. [R32] Reddit 5/5 · US I love Reddit!: I love Reddit, It’s a great app with a great atmosphere! Answers come quick, as well as questions I might’ve been wondering. Reddit has a bunch of new information about everything!
3. [R65] Tumblr 5/5 · US Love: 10/10 app! Great for building an online community, blogging, finding inspiration, and spreading creativity
4. [R66] Tumblr 3/5 · US Meh.: I’ve been on Tumblr since 2011. Since Yahoo bought it and flooded it with ads, I still use it out of spite. The ads are malicious and open both the App Store *and* Safari, even if you just scroll past some of them, forcing you to give them ad clicks. There was a recent update allowing you to sort likes by newest or oldest, but it doesn’t work if you have over a certain number of likes (ag
5. [R8] Reddit 4/5 · US 7: I like it, it’s a little confusing at first tho
6. [R24] Reddit 3/5 · GB Getting worse: If you were to ask me a year ago i would have said the app was decent enough. Now however, they’ve removed categories and now swipe to go back is gone. Or rather it doesn’t work like standard apps that support swipe, you have to swipe from completely off the screen. This makes it hard to use for those with smaller hands. Can’t believe that feature was removed.
7. [R68] Tumblr 4/5 · US Tumblr: It’s a good app, it’s not too confusing and I was able to function it quite easily, which I’m not able to do with a lot of apps.
8. [R79] Tumblr 2/5 · US The ads are crazy: I understand that ad revenue is needed, but the full screen popups are insane. It’s not enough that you’re literally scrolling through ads constantly already? And no- the company response of just pay us some money for tumblr premium to eliminate that experience is unacceptable. Deliberately making your app worse and annoying beyond the regular already irritating, but at least to
9. [R18] Reddit 3/5 · GB iPad app keeps crashing: The app keeps freezing and only way to fix it is shut it down and reopen again. Luckily don’t lose where you were as you can go on your profile and history, but it’s damn annoying and happens every single time I’m on the app
10. [R21] Reddit 3/5 · GB New update has left me unable to use app: Doesn’t scroll, can’t click on notifications - or anything. Feed refreshed when I reopen app. I can open support community when clicking on app support via the App Store but then can’t click on anything. Tried removing and downloading again but same issue.
11. [R119] Tumblr 1/5 · GB Posts bugging out: Every time I open the post, it just freezes my tumblr and i have to either minimise and reopen or completely close and reopen.
12. [R82] Tumblr 1/5 · US Log in issues galore: Tumblr is ok if you dont mind the cancel culture, having your account closed for no reason given. Or maybe the log in, the one that never works, and when asking for help you are referred to a screen that tells you to go slow and tap on the tumbler logo. Like that actually helps. Ghost at the post. If youve never been involved, id suggest you keep looking, if youve been invlol
13. [R39] Reddit 2/5 · US Doesn’t show what you want: Instead of showing you a feed of the subreddits you subscribe to it adds loads you didn’t ask for, that is when they aren’t showing you ads for sports betting
14. [R49] Reddit 1/5 · US Ruining the best part of the internet: Please stop making this worse. The algorithm to keep one engaged just makes the experience bland and monotonous. The need to push poor or sponsored content is making the same posts appear and drive you away. Bring back r/all. Stop tracking everything a user does if you’re gonna stick ads everywhere. I use the app less and less each day and am patiently awaiti
15. [R61] Tumblr 1/5 · US 37 year old: i’ve been on this app my whole life and the video ads between links are a new low. you people continue to show new lows of greed. i hate you guys. just let people blog for f sake. despicable.
16. [R70] Tumblr 1/5 · US NO TO AD BREAKS: I have had my account for about 13 years. Having an ad that I can’t scroll through has the delete account button looking so tempting. I understand that tumblr has to find ways to get more revenue but you’re literally ruining the experience. I already have countless ads that have to scroll through and you think adding a timed one is going to be cool? Please go back to regular ads
17. [R43] Reddit 1/5 · US Customer support sucks: You locked my account for suspicious activity, which I have no idea what that means because I haven't done anything different. You keep sending the email to the wrong email address and to the wrong account and you will not let me unlock my account. Your customer support sucks absolutely garbage.
18. [R67] Tumblr 1/5 · US Horrible App and Horrible Team: I would give zero stars if possible. Had my account terminated after I was hacked (presumably since I had no idea what they were talking about when they terminated me) and reached out to the team of “humans” multiple times. Received automated responses and now cannot send any more appeal requests. I have severe OCD and losing access to accounts is my biggest stresso
19. [R90] Tumblr 3/5 · GB Horrible updates: The staff seem to actively hate the users and how tumblr functions. They roll out updates that no one wants, and as of today have completly destroyed how the posting system works. Everyone hates it, or at least thinks that it’s mostly bad. Staff, if you read these reviews, please stop trying to “optimise” the site. You aren’t twitter. We loved you BECAUSE tumblr was different. Ke
