Tumblr updates app to add trending topics and improved tags

Tumblr has released the first major update to its iOS app since being purchased by Yahoo this past May. The update brings a few important new features to the mobile version of the blogging platform, including increased interaction with tags. Users can now see trending tags and blogs on Tumblr to see what topics are popular at any given moment.

In addition, tag searching on the app has been changed so when you search a particular topic, you will be shown a list of related recommended blogs, and then the feed of tagged posts. If you're looking to find new Tumblr pages to follow, these new features could be very helpful. If not, they don't take up too much space when you're searching.

You can find the update in the App Store.
