Testing the wordpress IOS app’s latest update

Not so long ago I blogged about testing the ios wordpress app and the result was not so promising as the app had very basic editor. Now that the app was updated to include a visual one, its time to test it again.

The first thing I noticed is the lack of spell check. While not a deal breaker, a spell check is important considering you are blogging from a phone or an iPad.

The other thing is the lack of formatting options for the text. Now unlike the spell check, this feature is a must for a serious blog post.

Despite the above, I am please with the new update. I will blog more on the go and hope that the app gets even better.

Testing blogging from the WordPress app

So I wanted to test this for sometime as I sometimes have a blog idea while away from my PC and what a better way to test this than while waiting in the car for my fiancé.

Fir starters, the app interface is understandably very limited and is always in code mode. There are a few basic options like the B I and U .
Other than that and you are on your own. Now I understand that way more can be achieved should I start using markups but a full interface would have made things easer.

Inserting image is basic with no controls. Adjusting space before and after the image is also not an option.

Basically, what use is good for a very basic post with ab imagine or two but nothing that requires serious formatting. A good app that makes basic blogging quick easy.
