iPhone Blogging on the go with Tumblrette
If 'Portable' blogging apps aren't your cup of tea, and you're looking for something that's a little more mobile, the Tumblrette application for iPhone and iPod touch might be right up your street. Tumblrette [App Store link] is a mobile client for the very excellent Tumblr tumblog service - if you're not familiar with Tumblr be sure to check out our previous coverage here.Tumblrette not only allows you create entries in any of the post types allowed by Tumblr, but also allows you to save draft posts to come back to later as well as write posts using Markdown formatting. The latest release sees the addition of a nifty record-and-upload feature that allows you to use the iPhone or 2nd-Generation iPod touch's built-in microphone to record a message and upload it to your Tumblog.
The application is both well thought out and beautifully designed. Best of all, it's something of a steal if you need to be blogging on the go: costing just $1.99 in an App Store near you now.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I was intrigued by this app and downloaded a copy. It seems ideal but unfortunately it keeps crashing on my iPhone 3G and I cannot find out why.

Not sure why, but sometimes over-the-air App Store installs get corrupted.
Uninstall Tumblrette from your iPhone, reboot your iPhone to clear the cache, and then reinstall Tumblrette from the App Store (Apple will not charge you twice for an app you've already bought). Everything should be gravy after that.

Thanks Jeff. I did exactly as you suggested and Tumblrette works great. Fabulous software.

Love, love, love Tumblrette. I've been using it since the 1.0 appeared in the store and it's been great. The ability to see my Tumblr dashboard on the go is really handy as well.
I had a problem with crashing a while back, but it was because I changed my password at the Tumblr website. Uninstalling Tumblrette from my iPhone, then re-installing by plugging into iTunes and choosing to sync it back over again, fixed the problem.
The new audio notes make this app even more awesome. This is one of the best $1.99 I've spent on the iPhone so far, but I think Tumblrette is easily worth $4 or even $5.
