After a long wait, Tumblr finally released a speedier, more attractive update for its iPhone app.

Scrolling through the dashboard is now super smooth, and we love the new image viewer.

The app also supports gestures. It's easy to swipe to the right to create a new post or swipe up to get straight to the camera.
