Quickr is a $0.99US iPhone app to take pictures and quickly post them to your Tumblr account. Here’s the simplest explanation I can give for how Quickr lives up to its name:
Steps necessary to take a picture and post it through the Tumblr app:
- launch Tumblr app
- tap post (assuming you have the dashboard shown by default)
- tap photo
- tap “take new photo”
- take picture
Steps necessary to email a picture to Tumblr from the iPhone camera app:
- launch camera
- take picture
- tap button to see photo library
- tap arrow at bottom left
- tap “email photo” (wait for Mail to launch)
- tap ‘to’
- fill in email address for your Tumblr
Steps to post a picture using Quickr
- launch Quickr
- take picture
Quickr will let you decide if you want to store the picture in your iPhone’s library or not (you can set a default yes/no and then change very easily it for individual pictures from inside the app). As of v.1.0 posting to “sub-Tumblrs” is not supported, but I spoke with the developer and he is planning to include support for that in the future. He also mentioned that a bug exists in 1.0 which prevents the app from running on an iPad. A fix has already been submitted to the App Store. (Even though the iPad doesn’t have a camera, Quickr will eventually allow you to upload pictures from your photo library on the iPad.)
The bulk of the pictures that my wife and I take with our iPhones are intended to be posted to Tumblr, so Quickr is going to get a lot of use in our house.
