WordPress Android App 1.1.3
No Comments »
If you own an Android phone (or iPhone or Blackberry) and also post articles on a WordPress based website then the new WordPress App is for you! Some time ago I believe I mentioned that I had discovered this app but i never really got in depth other then to say that I loved it. For those of you who cant simply take my word for it, I decided I should probably give it the proper review that it deserves. Now is a great time to do so because a new even more awesome version was just released yesterday! I’ll first just go over some of its features.

- Supports Multiple accounts and/or Multiple Websites Pretty self explanatory but basically you save your login info for whatever accounts you have and you can pick which one to manage. On mine, I have one set up for my administrator account for TheJawatech.com and I have another set up for my editor account on 979Represent.com When I open the app it asks me which one I want to use.
- Add and Manage New Posts Once you choose which account you wish to use, You have the option to manage your posts. Just click on the posts tab and you’ll see a list of all your posts. You’ll even see the unpublished ones. From here you can create a new post or open up one thats already started and edit away. Everything is like you imagine it should be. You’ve got your bold, Italic, URL, and block quote buttons to help with formatting. You can add pictures from your phone to your posts here and even choose what category and tags your post should be linked to. Another great thing is you can choose whether to publish it or not. Once you are done you tap save and it saves the file to your local drafts on your phone. If you want to put it on your server but dont want to publish it yet you could also just click Upload Now. If you want it uploaded to the server AND published right away you can also check the publish box and then click upload now. Whatever floats your boat. If you change your mind later you can change all of this from the list of posts by simply clicking on the post and going back to edit.
- Add and Manage New Pages This works exactly the same way as managing posts. See above for details. - Manage Comments You can manage global comments and you can manage comments for each post and or page. Read comments and approve and or reply to them right then and there. You can completely delete comments if you want and you can also mark them as spam right from your phone. How cool is that?!
- Upload Pictures and Video directly from phone into a New Post This is the newest feature that was just added in version 1.1.3 and its a really good one. Say you just took a video or picture of something really cool and you want to show everyone. Well from the picture preview you choose share, and just like you would post on twitter or facebook, You can post as a new article on your website. When you choose WordPress from the share list it brings up a box and asks you which blog account you want to use and BAM! your at the new post editor screen! Picture already attached. All you gotta do is give it a title and add some content if you want and your ready to upload to the web server! It’s Super Handy if your a picture freak like myself. I see all kinds of things that need lots of explaining. Sometimes you just see something that requires a caption way more then 115 characters. Sometimes you need to write a story about it. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well now you have room to write an odyssey of a description if you choose to do so. It can be hectic typing so much text on a tiny phone but if you’ve got nothing else to do and your away from a computer its a great productive way to spend your time. Another important note is that this feature also works with URL’s, Youtube, Google Places Directory, and many other apps. If it’s got a share button, WordPress will be on that share list!
Also It’s totally free! At least it’s free on the Android Market. I’m not sure if the iPhone market charge you extra or not so you’ll just have to go check it out and see. It’s Probably free.. anyway Go check it out! Have fun!
