WordPress iPad App Updated, Becoming Much More Useful

Wordpress for iPad

The WordPress app for iPad and iOS has been updated this week, to Version 3.3. Here’s the short change list for this latest update:

★ Sound effects: get audio feedback when refreshing, swiping, and more. You can turn off Sounds easily in Settings.

• Works great on the iPad Mini.

• Added support for self-signed certificates.

• Over 20 bugs and crashes fixed.

I can vouch for the fact that the app does work very nicely on the iPad mini. I can also say that now that the WordPress app has been getting much more substantial and more frequent updates, it is becoming quite a useful app. I know that sounds little odd to say, but this app was hugely disappointing and not very useful at all for a long while. Over the last several months that has begun to change.

I still don’t use it all for writing new posts – for that my go-to is the superb Posts app. But WordPress on the iPad or iPad mini is quite useful for things like comments moderation, viewing and working with the site admin dashboard, or making a quick post edit.

I’ve used the WordPress on all my sites since 2006 and love the platform, so I’m very happy to see their iPad app has improved a lot and is now getting better all the time.

Here’s an App Store link for WordPress; it’s a free app and a universal app designed for both iPad and IPhone.
