Popular microblogging site Tumblr jumped into the business of sharing photos from your mobile phone a few months back when the company released Photoset for iOS. The app—available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch—doesn’t require any type of Tumblr account, and instead uploads your photosets to photoset.com and provides a shortened link for sharing. You can, of course, post your photoset directly to Tumblr as well.
The app’s concept comes from a feature of the same name, added to Tumblr three years ago.
“Photosets have been one of our favorite additions to Tumblr. You’ve surprised us a thousand times over with your creativity,” Tumblr’s Justin Ouellete wrote on the staff page. “It’s hard to imagine Tumblr without photos, and we love the power a set of photos has to tell a story.”
Tumblr user or not, navigating the app is pretty straightforward. You are given the option to capture new pictures or use those already in your photo gallery. That said, each picture taken or selected has to be one at a time, making large photosets cumbersome.
