WordPress iOS App – Ugh!

August 6, 2013

This last weekend, I decided to join a blog challenge to see if I could write a blog post about an unknown topic for 30 plus days.  I started writing these posts using the WordPress iOS app on my iPhone5 and was thunderstruck again with angst.  I now remember why I dreaded writing with the WordPress iOS app…

  • Poor interface for creating bulleted lists/formatting text
  • Setting links to open in a new window requires you to know HTML
  • Tags do no auto populate
  • Preview doesn’t utilize your current theme

I wish it was more like Evernote…
