Wordpress app on the iPad

Monday, April 12th, 2010

So the iPad has been out over a week and I’ve had mine for just about a week.

During that week I’ve tried out many different apps, but wanted to post about one of my favorites; the Wordpress app.

Not only is it one of my favorites, but I’m also using it to write this review.

As with most things on the iPad it’s beautiful, elegant and dead simple to use.
When you first launch you’re greeted with the typical setup screen where you enter your site address, username and password, then…. Well, then that’s it.

Assuming everything was entered correctly, you’ll connect to your blog and be greeted with a list of your articles as well as the main edit window (see screenshot).

From this screen you can edit your existing posts or create a new one. When creating a new post you can save it as a local draft, draft, pending review, private or publish it.

In the right corner you have three buttons, the first is settings, then a button that allows you to add pictures, a preview button, to see how your post will look and the save button.

That’s really all there is to it. There’s not a whole lot of formatting options (well none really), but it’s dead simple an easy to use for mobile blogging.
