It was not long ago, we reported that WordPress 2.6 for iPhone has been released. But if you have used it, you might have noticed that it had a lot of bugs which almost made us not to use it until a further update was released. And now the time has arrived. The new WordPress app has been submitted to the App store with a lot of bug fixes and improvements.
Here’s the full list:
Fix for landscape orientation issue when editing posts.
Fix for incorrect date/time on publish.

Fix for problems connecting to WordPress.org blogs using HTTP Auth.
Fix for crash during Autosave check after publish.
Fix for intermittent failures when uploading media.
Fix for crash when editing WordPress.org blog settings.
Improved HTML output for media uploads.
Improved handling of XML-RPC endpoints for WordPress.org blogs.

The App will go live soon. We shall update the post as soon as its available and we will also announce it on twitter.
[UPDATE]- Here’s the Link to App Store
WordPress for iOS hasnt seen any update for a long time now. To be frank, I was browsing through the App store for some blogging apps yesterday. And guess what this morning a new update has popped in our update list.
The new wordpress comes with a lot of features. To be precise, the features it should have had in the very beginning itself. Better late than never. Now you can add a new video by recording through the camera or from the library. The drafts feature was very poor in the app before and now they have completely fixed it. Which means saved drafts should show up in the posts tab.
Autosave feature can help you revert back to the earlier version of a post you created. This means separate copies of a post are maintained just in case you opt to revert changes. Blogs that run on WordPress 3.0 are also now compatible with the app. So setting up and maintaining the same should be easy as well.
And as usual, a lot of bug fixes are also included. Try the app using the link below and let us know your experience
