Took me a little longer than I’d hoped, but I’m a happy camper now that I’ve got the WordPress app running smoothly on the iPhone. Not sure what as going on this AM, but it wouldn’t let me publish a post. I deleted & reinstalled the app straight on the iPhone, and whatever was off was corrected — must have been some bad juju.
Anyway, the WP app is perfect for quick posting and live-blogging. Not sure if I’d write a 1,000-word post on the iPhone’s keyboard (only available in portrait mode, sadly — why no landscape?), but it does the trick when you want to write on the go. Also good is the ability to upload photos, tho it doesn’t give you any formatting options — it simply dumps your uploaded photos at the end of your post as clickable scaled thumbnails. Not a bad solution, but a bit inelegant, especially if you (like me) have a specific way you like to present pics on a page. Still, it’s great to be able to upload photos without having to sync the iPhone, and it’s a big improvement over using the full WP CMS straight in Mobile Safari, so kudos WP team!
Price is hard to beat, too: grab it for free in the App Store.
