![]() Tbh I really didn’t dwell here long, as the interfaces offended me (yes, I’m that vain). Unfortunately, none really seem to have been updated since. They seem to all stem from a heyday when blog software had not mobile support. They offer a range of features for managing your blogs across different services. However, the in-app preview of your post doesn’t reflect the markdown (you have to go to the web interface for that), so I decided the app had not redeemed itself. Note: I have found a solution to headings - if you turn on markdown (see later in this post) for your WordPress blog, then you can use markdown syntax to set headings in your post. I felt the UI for writing posts in the app was a bit dated, and I found the lack of headings bugged me, so I kept on my journey. You can preview your post from within the app and add images and links and so forth. Surprisingly absent is the ability to format paragraphs as being various heading levels. Basic formatting is available (bold, italics, bullets, numbers). The WordPress iOS app is decent overall, and you could certainly write posts on it fairly happily. Technically everything works, but highlight a piece of text with your keyboard or start typing and it tends to scroll to a seemingly random location. On a desktop it works well, on iOS it does not. I’ve seen numerous complaints that “the old editor was better,” but for me I’m pretty happy with the current one. The web interface for writing posts on WordPress is not too bad. The interface is tired, and you don’t have the full range of formatting options (you can do bullets, numbers, bold, and italic. ![]() ![]() It can definitely do it, but it feels lacklustre. However, the editor isn’t great for writing posts. It isn’t too bad - especially for checking comments / notifications, checking website stats, or correcting minor mistakes. I have a WordPress blog (hosted by WordPress, which means I don’t have access to all the nice add-ons), and I was pleased to discover they had an iOS app. I’ve been continuing my adventures of “how much can I actually do on my iPad?” The next challenge in my list was blogging.
