Tumblr gives its Android app a ‘total facelift’ to follow Holo design conventions


Tumblr gives its Android app a ‘total facelift’ to follow Holo design conventions

Tumblr has updated its Android app with a completely new look, featuring a redesigned interface which more closely follows Holo design conventions — Google’s theme guidelines for Ice Cream Sandwich. The update also includes other aesthetic-focused changes, including new post animations.

In the past, Tumblr had neglected its mobile presence, but over the last 6 months the company has turned things around. Just this past November, Tumblr released major updates to its iOS app, and now this update follows that trend.

You can see the animated new post interface via the Gif below:
