WordPress App
I’ve been trying out the WordPress iOS app and I can’t say that I’m impressed. The post editor is so stripped back that it’s almost useless. If you want to post status updates via your iPhone, I can see how it might be useful but that’s about it.
There’s no featured image functionality — which for me is pretty essential. Image insertion is basic, to say the least, but it does allow you to upload images from the iPad’s photo library. So far, that’s all I’m using it for. I create a draft post using the standard browser interface, then switch to the IOS app to upload and insert an image from the iPad. I then switch back to the standard browser interface to remove the inserted image and re-insert it correctly — as well as making it a featured image if appropriate.
The final post is then previewed and published (or scheduled).
WordPress 3.4 is supposed to offer better iOS functionality. I’m curious to see what that will be.
