Desktop Wordpress is really great, but this app has many annoying issues. It will occasionally not update changes I made on desktop, delete text right as I’m typing it, glitch out the wazoo, and has a tendency to lag horribly. Of course, a couple of these things might be my borderline-elderly phone, but some of them just seem like they shouldn’t happen. It is very inconvenient.

I’m using an iPhone X with iOS 14.2. When I write a blog post and try to publish it, the publish slider menu comes up from the bottom of my screen. I can see ‘Visibility,’ ‘Publish Date,’ and 1/2 of ‘Tags.’ I’m unable to scroll down to the submit button. I can view my site, but can’t publish a blog post which is why I downloaded and set up the app. I’d give it a 4 or 5 star rating if I could publish.

It’s a good product, it’s just that anytime I try to upload even a single image, the entire system crashes and any data I had is completely lost. So don’t use images whatsoever unless you like to completely rewrite your content over.

I have reinstalled recently twice bc media failed to load- currently I posted a draft from my laptop- up until recently- regardless of where I posted the app reflected the status of the post. I love the convenience of using my iPad to load media and also to write a quick draft. Is there some issue with iPads ? The issue isn’t happening on my iPhone Thank you for any help you can give! Totally love Word Press!

Now it is nearly impossible to select a word in the editor. This is a basic function. Meanwhile wordpress is working on block editing and other complicating nonsense. I remember when wordpress was good.

I’ve lost some of my posts since the iOS app doesn’t support some of the web app’s features. This really needs to be fixed. I’m deleting until it is.

Not that useful for anything except the quickest of updates. If all you want to do is quickly add some text and a pic or two, with no control over layout, formatting, or other details, this is fairly handy. Or if you're an HTML guru that can spew code. There are too many things it can't do to make it my go-to access to Wordpress. Sort of like using notepad instead of a word processor. Can't control image size or alignment unless you do it in HTML.

I am having trouble of lately with the app. It keep closing on it own, right after I open it.

I’ve been a Wordpress user for 4 years and the app has had its moments, I still can’t add professional picture from my phone without it locking up the entire post because the media won’t load (so I have to do this from my laptop) you can really only upload photos you’ve taken on your phone through the app for it to load to media. But this app has come a long way! Still a lot of bugs, but it’s getting there (: thanks for all the updates and hard work.

The APP was very good for a while, but the last few months have been an unstable mess. It’s a bummer.

One has to tag and categorize in order to publish. I would prefer to go straight to publish if I want to.

Beautifully designed intuitive. Facebook...Brace Yourself. 🙀👽😹😎

Recent updates have made the app run better. Thanks!

Wordpress will advertise on your blog but will not give you any ability to add video unless YOU also pay them. The rest of the app is great, but having to deal with ads on top of not displaying videos... Why make it MORE difficult on your users? $$$$

It is so hopeful and encouraging when developers like Wordpress’ are responsive to feedback. It shows integrity and helpfulness. 💛🙏🏼

It would really be nice to be able to login to multiple accounts in one app session. I would like to be able to manage my personal and business Wordpress without having to sign out and back in, since they’re on different accounts.

Wordpress worked amazing on my phone up until I updated. Can’t upload anything constantly fails to save my new edits. I edited website on computer and the app on my phone doesn’t show what I added on my computer to my website. It’s stuck.

We’ve been using Wordpress for over 2 years with great success. Now with the latest update, you can’t post unless your in reader view. The app consistently asks you to login with out allowing you to do so, if you’re trying to post or reply.

So much trouble making my post not appearing on blog too many issues

Keeps exiting app when I hit the share button on posts in my notifications tab. Nothing too serious, but if it’s meant to share a post, directly from the app, it’s faulty. For now, I have to get used to hitting the globe, in two steps, to open the post up in my external browser and share from there.

The app is such a disappointment. Anytime I trie to publish, it says « post failed to upload » USELESS.

Any post where I try to upload an image from my device hangs on upload. On restarting the app, it keeps trying to re-upload..then multiple copies of the media appear in the library, but the post never shows the inserted media. Moreover, if I add any of the new media from the library to a post, it re-uploads. Royal hot mess.

It made my dream of making a blog, actually come true, with no payments or nothing, it is easy to post and write, also to create. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to start a blog or website to use Wordpress. You won’t regret it.

Soon long as I haven’t got any media to upload, the app is perfect. I just don’t understand why photos are so tough to upload. I wanted a seedless transition from Tumblr to WP, but what good is it if I cannot do the one thing I have it for—mobile blogging.

Being forced to use the block editor has made this app completely unusable. Unfortunately, the website is only marginally better, and that's only because you can jump through some hoops to make a new post using the "classic editor," however, if you want to edit a post, you're getting thrown into block editor Hell!

I love this website. I love reading blogs about things/people they love. Some are phony, but I love it.

Ver 15.9 (2020-10-27) The below issues have been resolved except for justification. Thanks to the developer(s) for the heads up! Updated the review to 5 stars from 3 Ver 15.5 When writing a post, there isn’t an option for the following: Align text left - normal option Align text right - the opposite of the above Centre text - have text in the centre of the page Or Justify - basically a combination of align text left and right.

I can almost run my entire website off this app on my ipad and phone, if you would just add portfolio support to the app I would never need the browser, in fact it can be frustrating because I will start prepping my media in the app and then I remember that I cannot finish the post without switching to the browser. please add this it would make my day!!!!!

The app has been great for editing my site and blog but my reader will not refresh. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it will solve the problem temporarily but the problem will reoccur after a day.

The app is set to send a post to Facebook, but it doesn’t work. But posting to FB works fine with the browser connection. The app is great for quick posts, except for this one issue.

I’ve been using Wordpress since September 2010. Once I got started, it was surprisingly easy to use. Those days are over. I don’t know who their target users are, but it’s not beginners. Was their so-called Classic Editor flawed? Sure. But instead of improving that, they are forcing users to the new Block Editor. Now the pages that used to take me 30-60 minutes to generate take me 1-2 hours, cussing all the way. If I’d never used Wordpress before, I wouldn’t use it now. They either need to make the new Block Editor much simpler for novices and intermediates, or make the Classic a more convenient choice while also improving it.

The text editor glitches like crazy with the blocks. It even takes time to load the writing into the block even if I’m just writing at normal speed, I have to wait ages for the text to load into the block! Please fix!

No idea why but it’s frustrating because I hardly blog to begin with due to time constraints so when I have a quick moment to upload this just makes it so much frustrating please fix and then I will make it five stars again I need this app or any app not login to a site I literally can’t even remember the password

Horrible app, I feel like a slave

No matter how many different ways I enter my URL this app will not recognize my Wordpress site. Extremely frustrating.

This app is and has always been extremely buggy. Recently it has grown worse; when I switch between blogs I’m looking at, it will give me the stats for the one I was looking at initially. The post editor is extremely clunky and fails to save more often than not. This is the only app I have ever reviewed and it is because they really have no excuse.

I have had nothing but frustration trying to write posts using this app on my iPhone. It begins to jump between sections on its own, like its possessed, and unless you hit “update” it won’t stop. It will do this over and over. Clean this bug up guys- it makes it almost impossible to blog on an iPhone. I have updated software on an 11 Pro Max, and it is the same whether connected to cellular or WiFi (ultra fast). FIX THIS PLEASE!

It won't let me sign into my account. It only allows me to create an account.

I get sync errors, image upload errors, unable to upload posts errors on a daily basis. I give up. At this point it's actually better to just do it all via Safari, the wordpress app is broken 😑

This app continues to crash, freeze and act glitchy. I don’t know why but I do know I hope you fix it. I used to rely on this app for everything blogging and now the frustration is no longer worth it.

Who is doing QA over at Wordpress? Block editor is not production ready. After Block editor updates typing words in the editor on both the app or windows laptop keyboard has slowed to a snails pace. It takes a couple seconds just to type each word, probably because you’re clogging the system for garbage internet spam and internet ads that most people block out anyway. Either pull the block editor completely to invest in enhancing the classic system or take down the editor for major coding repairs.

First off, I have been using WordPress to host my business website for the past 2 years as they offered better pricing than some others. Unfortunately, since my Mac has been disabled I am limited to using the iOS (iPad) version, which seems to be lacking in functionality and does not allow me to make certain modifications (like embedding code or widgets). Some other features I would have liked require that I upgrade to a far more expensive version that I do not need and thus find that WordPress’s pricing is somewhat expensive for what you get (especially if you just need to be able to tied it in with your URL). Now, the worst problem I just recently experienced is with their billing. I am someone who prefers to have my account charges handled manually, so in this case I had the Auto Renew turned OFF. Yet to my surprise, WordPress still charged my card!!! To make matters worse, the only way to reverse this (since there is not CS to speak with) was to downgrade my plan (which I was going to do anyways). The automated message stated that it would take them 7-1o business days to refund me if I am eligible. Well guess what? I am F’g eligible since they were not authorized to charge my card in the first place and the authorization/funds should have been reversed immediately. Submitted a Billing Support request, have yet to hear back from them ..... not even an automated confirmation of my submission!! If you choose to use WordPress and pay for their upgrades, make sure to remove your c/c info after payment (especially if you are on annual billing) to make sure they can not charge you illegally like they did to me!!

I do the bulk of my website on a PC browser, but when I need to make a quick fix/edit and am not near my computer, I used to rely on this app. Now when I tap “Pages”, it gets stuck on “fetching pages” and never actually loads them. Why do I have this app if it’s not doing what it is supposed to do??

I just upgraded from iOS 13.6 to 14.0 and now when I try to upload an image from the WP app (which worked prior to the upgrade) I get the error Unable to Sync (WPMediaPickerDomainError error 0).

For an website used by so many people, I honestly can’t believe how horrible this app is. I have an eye condition that makes using my laptop bothersome, so I thought I could try using the app. Boy, was I wrong! First, it didn’t recognize any of my drafts and acted like I had none. I thought I was logged into one of my beta sites for a moment (I wasn’t). I finally found the draft in a different location, but when I started editing the post it kept freezing and glitching. I sat there and watched my screen jump frantically from section to section like someone was remotely using the app and going crazy... then it wouldn’t save, and it keeps cutting my blocks off visually. I turned my phone to landscape to see it better but it’s cut off by the keyboard and won’t move. It’s... awful.

Obviously you’ve never heard of the adage, ‘If it ain’t broke, leave it alone.’ Like so many other sites that were fairly reliable, you’ve gone the way of the dodo bird.

And for the last several updates before that, stats stopped working. If you tried to switch between sites, it would load stats from only the first site you looked at. You would have to force quit the app to look at stats for each individual Wordpress site. I miss using the app as it used to work 90 days ago. Now I can only use Wordpress on my desktop or laptop.

This new update is glitching terribly

I used to use this app a lot until they changed to the new block editor. It isn’t compatible with the app so I have to go to the browser to do any updates. I ended up deleting it but would very much like to use it again if it is updated to the new changes.

For a while there, switching between sites would not correctly switch which site stats were shown. Ok now that works, but scheduled posts aren’t actually posting on secondary site. I’ve confirmed both sites are using the same time zone so that’s not it. #BrokenApp

I could make posts from anywhere. But since the updates, I can’t get anything to post. I love writing on my blog. But this makes it more difficult to do so. So sorry I updated.

Thank you continuing to improve the app! Can we request features? One that requests a quick passcode to enter the app if we are already logged in

I wanted to start writing blogs. Unfortunately it’s very difficult for me. Since this company does not have any accessibility features included into the app or the website. They are discriminating against those who are blind or visually impaired that use assistive technology. Like voiceover on the iOS products. If you know me I get this Dunstan 100%. If anyone out there is blind or visually impaired. I do not recommending you to get this app. As like everyone else they don’t care if you’re blind. Only thing people care for is going out running up and down streets. Howling and screaming over stupid and nonsense stuff. And not the important things.

I rarely go to make a negative review but since this is an app I have to keep using I felt like I needed to say something. I usually have to switch between using my browser and the app because when typing a rather simple blog the app will continuously freeze and make me wait for it to load words. It'll let me type like 5 at a time and then freeze again and again. I would use only the browser version (on my phone) but it doesn't always want to function correctly when it comes to formatting. So I usually end up having to use the browser to type paragraphs and then format them in the app. It just seems like it should have better optimization than this.

The people who follow me on line are wondering why they only see my cover page and not any content 🤬

I use this app regularly to update two personal blogs and check usage stats with JetPack enabled. Had a problem with the stats updating between the two sites, and got a quick developer response. Bug was fixed in a week. A+

The app is amazing and the description of the updates entertaining. What more can you ask for.

When it works, which is infrequently at best, it does a decent job. I keep the app updated as well as my phone, still crashes trying to do the most routine tasks.

Pleas less features and more speed and stability. The latest you introduced involves the statistics page for users with multiple sites. It gets stuck on the last site’s stat page when you switch sites. You have to close the app, wait and restart before you can see the stats for a diff site

I caution everyone to stick with your free version. I wanted oh so badly to get Premium and had huge budget to do so. However i could not see how to simply contact them. Im sure there is a way but they make ir very difficult. No thanks. I been around waaaay to long to know t’s best to stay clear of companies like this as they just want your money and nothing else

I don’t know what’s going on with recent updates but all my sites are showing the stats and data of one single site. The app is basically useless now.

I still can’t log in using my email for starters...

Apple stop this blackmailing apps to get 30% - especially when they are free! See the recent The Verge article about WordPress.

The app has so many missing features. Even the ability to edit titles, captions, and descriptions in Media. The app is great if you keep things simple or if you don’t want to be productive.

I haven’t used this app in a long while but updated it today to write a blog entry directly on my site, and it was a no-go. I have a personal website and this application won’t connect to it because it’s not WordPress version 4.0 or higher(?). So it’s now useless to me, unfortunately.

Since version 15 I have been having problems this software connecting to a server that properly restricts itself to modern TLS versions.

When you try to edit shapes or more advanced things on your website it is very hard/confusing to figure out how to do it. If you have a professional do your website then it’s fine but if you’re trying to do it yourself I would not recommend.

fix it has many problems it closes and opens by itself it is not possible to access the desktop to correct titles as it was before it was better,

I deleted the app, reloaded it and it’s working. I recommend updating/saving often in case the below happens to you. I’ve upgraded my rating from a 1 to a 3. *** It is frustrating when I spend a good amount of time editing a post only to have the app freeze while updating. This results in losing all my corrections. I did a final edit on ten blogs last night and the app worked wonderfully. I was excited to have an easy way to update my work. My final edits are light and mostly entail changes to text and links. However, today I spent a half hour editing a blog and it froze when I tried to update it. I tried a couple more times by restarting my phone. It still froze. I checked my internet and signal connection they were top notch. Like iMovie and other programs that I never use anymore that crash and cost me valuable time, I will need to find another way to edit my WP blogs on the go. It would be awesome if it worked as I am a traveling musician. I have an iPhone 6s Plus should this make a difference.

For a very brief period, I was able to upload photos. But you broke it again in one of the recent updates. I honestly don’t do much worth Wordpress except make blog posts with pics. But now pics won’t upload. Two suggestions: 1. Allow users to resize at time of upload. iPhone pics are enormous and I don’t need to upload an 8mb pic. 2. Provide more detailed error messages when uploads fail.

Its a poor app I uploaded a picture and it says complete but once I publish it it disappears! , I contacted there customer service several times but still no solution given , my work has been effected by this issue , so i give it 0 star

This site intentionally makes every step unnecessarily difficult. It’s incredible! Now, when I signed up, I was prepared to be “tricked” into paying for something and then finding out that there’s some dumb process in order to receive a refund ... usually the amount is so low, most people just don’t feel like going through the “hassle”. This company ALSO has had me log in multiple times, get routed to the wrong page after clicking on their link upon looking up how to change my Primary Domain page... the page was similar so it was obviously intended to frustrate the poor soul to click on the link through their “Support” tab. I’ve received error messages that my purchase didn’t go through...Thought that everything I saved was deleted... This is just Day 1!! Seriously though, are you guys just bored? Making a profit just ain’t what it used to be? Get your stuff together.

I've had this app on my iPad pro (it's about a little over a year old) and I've never been able to upload a draft post or publish a post to any of my WordPress websites. I see stats, I see published posts, I see drafts I've saved from where I wrote them on a browser. But every time I try to publish a post or even save the draft it keeps giving me an error message. No matter how many times I delete and reinstall the app, it never works. it's pretty much just junk taking up space in my iPad. (Yes my os is always up to date)

Wordpress is the worst don’t by it ore else I’ll delete your Minecraft acount

While I certainly appreciate all the work the developers have done on this app, it still remains really buggy. With each update, something gets resolved but nearly every time, something else breaks. The latest bug is preventing me from approving comments. When I approve, it immediately returns to unapproved status. Same with spam. If I flag a comment as spam, it almost immediately returns to its original, unspam status. It’s quite frustrating. EDIT: In response to developer questions - I am logged in as the administrator and it is a personal blog using Jetpack, hosted by Bluehost.

This feature used to work but it is no longer working. I tried adding media in a new blog, existing blog, and just adding media seperately and it does not work. I have read/write access on media. I’m not sure why this doesn’t work all the sudden.

Now I can add more than 5 posts daily by WordPress app. But one problem remains, which is the addition of the feature to change the text color and font type when adding an posts.

Post drafts are constantly unable to update when adding a photo from device

Hello. My app is not opening. It is stuck on the WordPress logo and closes on its own. Please help? Thanks

This app is practically useless. I am stuck without a computer, which apparently means I have no access to my website because the Wordpress app doesn’t give me access to any of the details I need.

This is not a very intuitive app, and is not fully functional in the iOS version. If you have an iPad of use a iMac, log onto the web version for fully functionality and to follow the training videos. I can’t recommend for iOS devices.

I have tried other blogging platforms and found WordPress the Best. It’s simple to use, versatile, and no pressure; you go at your own pace. Blogging is so simplified. Thanks WordPress.

For several months now, the media upload function has been spotty at best. The only thing I use this app for is to upload photos from my phone; I write posts on the desktop version. I have to make multiple attempts to upload photos without it timing out. The bulk upload NEVER works, and a single photo may require 4 or 5 attempts before miraculously uploading. It's frustrating because my blog is very much photo-based, and I can't get the images from my phone to my media library any other way.

What is the use of this app when you can’t upload post? I even went to the extent of creating another account with Wordpress.com but still same error.

I’d give it zero starts, if it would let me. ☝️

The app has great potential I was excited to use it but it constantly crashes. Hope to be able to use it in the future. Update: they reached out to help get the crashes fixed

I’ve been using this app for a while and for some reason, even when I’ve set my blog to public it’s still tracking author views behaving like it’s set to private. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled this many times but still I have the same problem. Can someone help me with this?

Every time I click on “view site,” it crashes.

Downloaded the app to try for the first time, but was unable to connect to my site. Received a 403 error due to XML-RPC. Word has it logging in with the app via mobile can result in a security breach.

I have been using this app for a week and it keeps crashing no matter how much I have reinstalled it. It’s still the same. On the other hand, I liked this app because it is quite interesting that we get to do blogging and share our interest with the rest.

Buscando, encontré esta APP es fantástica. El rendimiento en el tiempo para las actividades del día es increíble. Felicitaciones.

I loved Wordpress until I started seeing more and more racists and prejudice posts on the app.

having a difficulty posting since the last update. i couldn’t see the button “publish now” when i want to publish.

Updated Review on June 9, 2020 I just updated this app ran into a pretty big bug in the beta version involving the 'My Sites' tab. Typically I have 8 or 9 websites that I maintain using WordPress. What I found listed under the 'My Sites' tab were maybe 50-100 websites listed there...all of them were mine. But since I really only have 8 or 9 sites, all the others were merely duplicates. __________________________________________________________________ Original Review Entitled: I love the WordPress app because it's improved my productivity...a lot! __________________________________________________________________ WordPress has created the best mobile app for working on your website...bar none. I should qualify my statement to read (at least amongst all those that I tested) for website creation. Some of the WP ios app's best features include: • The WP app is generally fast and responsive • There's a great widget for checking stats • The WP app is robust enough to mange a lot of websites and blogs all at once. • The WP app is very easy to navigate and use. • You can use the Reader feature (which offers a simple RSS utility) from right within the app. As of June 9th 2020 almost everything involving the WP app works well now... (well almost everything...) There are only a few tiny things left that I need to use their web-based browser editor for now. Ideally, if those functions were added to the app, I'd never need to use a browser for editing or adding content to my sites again using an iPad. Some the missing features listed below might or might not be available to you...because it’s quite possible or even quite probable that I simply haven't found all of these features yet. 1. The ability to edit a post's excerpt prior to posting. 2. A fast and easy way to access the short URL for posts and pages 3. Menu management...each time I add a post I manually add it to the menus for my vsatips website too. A few tiny bugs currently exist...for rarely used things. One is if you try to use the Share extension when in Preview mode the app crashes.

I find that a lot of the functions I use on the desk top just don’t translate to the ipadpro app. Media is one area where I want to embed a video from youtube but there just is no way to do it. That is only one issue. I also have the app lock up on me. I have a fully loaded Ipad 11 Pro 2018 running the latest ios system. I have run into lockups when trying to refresh. I have to shut down the app and then reload it. It’s okay for what it it but does not come close to the desk top version.

Any attempt to add or edit post within the app causes it to crash.

I love the wordpress app. I can write my thoughts from anywhere and continue on my laptop later. However since the last 2 updates I’ve noticed that my drafts dont update as posts from the app even though I’ve posted from my laptop. I cant also see scheduled posts because they still say drafts on the app. Please fix this asap. It makes it difficult to stay on track if i cant see what ive already done. Thank you!

This app is leaps and bounds more useful than just 4 months ago when I uninstalled. I’m glad to see the leader in website creation is catching up in their app. My first complaint is that it is way too easy to accidentally delete what I’m writing by simply trying to scroll and I can’t find an undo option. My second complaint is that I can’t go to the next line, they call it ‘enter’ on PC. I can’t get the hang of ‘return’; it does not just go to the beginning of the next line. How do I do that, go to the beginning of the next line? It’s probably very simple. Thank you for the recent updates!

This is a very ambitious app in its scope— it is trying to replicate all of the features of WP web experience. Unfortunately, the feature set is so large and the scope footprint is very complicated for Wordpress. As a result, while this app has some great features and is easy to navigate, it is some extordinarily annoying bugs, especially when using it on my iPad with an external keyboard. The sections don’t expand as I type, puting my cursor into “invisible space.” It can be very difficult to touch-select my cursor to the right spot. It has strange glitches and gets into strange states where it needs to be restarted. If it didn’t have these bugs, I’d give it a 5. I’d really like to see it stay in the App store and improve but for the time being it is a sub-par experience to working on the WP web on my laptop, so this app is not for me for that reason.

Desktop Wordpress is really great, but this app has many annoying issues. It will occasionally not update changes I made on desktop, delete text right as I’m typing it, glitch out the wazoo, and has a tendency to lag horribly. Of course, a couple of these things might be my borderline-elderly phone, but some of them just seem like they shouldn’t happen. It is very inconvenient.

I’m using an iPhone X with iOS 14.2. When I write a blog post and try to publish it, the publish slider menu comes up from the bottom of my screen. I can see ‘Visibility,’ ‘Publish Date,’ and 1/2 of ‘Tags.’ I’m unable to scroll down to the submit button. I can view my site, but can’t publish a blog post which is why I downloaded and set up the app. I’d give it a 4 or 5 star rating if I could publish.

It’s a good product, it’s just that anytime I try to upload even a single image, the entire system crashes and any data I had is completely lost. So don’t use images whatsoever unless you like to completely rewrite your content over.

I have reinstalled recently twice bc media failed to load- currently I posted a draft from my laptop- up until recently- regardless of where I posted the app reflected the status of the post. I love the convenience of using my iPad to load media and also to write a quick draft. Is there some issue with iPads ? The issue isn’t happening on my iPhone Thank you for any help you can give! Totally love Word Press!

Now it is nearly impossible to select a word in the editor. This is a basic function. Meanwhile wordpress is working on block editing and other complicating nonsense. I remember when wordpress was good.

I’ve lost some of my posts since the iOS app doesn’t support some of the web app’s features. This really needs to be fixed. I’m deleting until it is.

Not that useful for anything except the quickest of updates. If all you want to do is quickly add some text and a pic or two, with no control over layout, formatting, or other details, this is fairly handy. Or if you're an HTML guru that can spew code.

I am having trouble of lately with the app. It keep closing on it own, right after I open it.

I’ve been a Wordpress user for 4 years and the app has had its moments, I still can’t add professional picture from my phone without it locking up the entire post because the media won’t load (so I have to do this from my laptop) you can really only upload photos you’ve taken on your phone through the app for it to load to media. But this app has come a long way! Still a lot of bugs, but it’s getting there (: thanks for all the updates and hard work.

The APP was very good for a while, but the last few months have been an unstable mess. It’s a bummer.

One has to tag and categorize in order to publish. I would prefer to go straight to publish if I want to.

It is so hopeful and encouraging when developers like Wordpress’ are responsive to feedback. It shows integrity and helpfulness. 💛🙏🏼

It would really be nice to be able to login to multiple accounts in one app session. I would like to be able to manage my personal and business Wordpress without having to sign out and back in, since they’re on different accounts.

Wordpress worked amazing on my phone up until I updated. Can’t upload anything constantly fails to save my new edits. I edited website on computer and the app on my phone doesn’t show what I added on my computer to my website. It’s stuck.

We’ve been using Wordpress for over 2 years with great success. Now with the latest update, you can’t post unless your in reader view. The app consistently asks you to login with out allowing you to do so, if you’re trying to post or reply.

So much trouble making my post not appearing on blog too many issues

Keeps exiting app when I hit the share button on posts in my notifications tab. Nothing too serious, but if it’s meant to share a post, directly from the app, it’s faulty. For now, I have to get used to hitting the globe, in two steps, to open the post up in my external browser and share from there.

The app is such a disappointment. Anytime I trie to publish, it says « post failed to upload » USELESS.

Any post where I try to upload an image from my device hangs on upload. On restarting the app, it keeps trying to re-upload..then multiple copies of the media appear in the library, but the post never shows the inserted media. Moreover, if I add any of the new media from the library to a post, it re-uploads. Royal hot mess.

It made my dream of making a blog, actually come true, with no payments or nothing, it is easy to post and write, also to create. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to start a blog or website to use Wordpress. You won’t regret it.

Soon long as I haven’t got any media to upload, the app is perfect. I just don’t understand why photos are so tough to upload. I wanted a seedless transition from Tumblr to WP, but what good is it if I cannot do the one thing I have it for—mobile blogging.

Being forced to use the block editor has made this app completely unusable. Unfortunately, the website is only marginally better, and that's only because you can jump through some hoops to make a new post using the "classic editor," however, if you want to edit a post, you're getting thrown into block editor Hell!

I love this website. I love reading blogs about things/people they love. Some are phony, but I love it.

Ver 15.9 (2020-10-27) The below issues have been resolved except for justification. Thanks to the developer(s) for the heads up! Updated the review to 5 stars from 3 Ver 15.5 When writing a post, there isn’t an option for the following: Align text left - normal option Align text right - the opposite of the above Centre text - have text in the centre of the page Or Justify - basically a combination of align text left and right.

I can almost run my entire website off this app on my ipad and phone, if you would just add portfolio support to the app I would never need the browser, in fact it can be frustrating because I will start prepping my media in the app and then I remember that I cannot finish the post without switching to the browser. please add this it would make my day!!!!!

The app has been great for editing my site and blog but my reader will not refresh. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it will solve the problem temporarily but the problem will reoccur after a day.

The app is set to send a post to Facebook, but it doesn’t work. But posting to FB works fine with the browser connection. The app is great for quick posts, except for this one issue.

I’ve been using Wordpress since September 2010. Once I got started, it was surprisingly easy to use. Those days are over. I don’t know who their target users are, but it’s not beginners. Was their so-called Classic Editor flawed? Sure. But instead of improving that, they are forcing users to the new Block Editor. Now the pages that used to take me 30-60 minutes to generate take me 1-2 hours, cussing all the way. If I’d never used Wordpress before, I wouldn’t use it now. They either need to make the new Block Editor much simpler for novices and intermediates, or make the Classic a more convenient choice while also improving it.

The text editor glitches like crazy with the blocks. It even takes time to load the writing into the block even if I’m just writing at normal speed, I have to wait ages for the text to load into the block! Please fix!

No idea why but it’s frustrating because I hardly blog to begin with due to time constraints so when I have a quick moment to upload this just makes it so much frustrating please fix and then I will make it five stars again I need this app or any app not login to a site I literally can’t even remember the password

Horrible app, I feel like a slave

No matter how many different ways I enter my URL this app will not recognize my Wordpress site. Extremely frustrating.

This app is and has always been extremely buggy. Recently it has grown worse; when I switch between blogs I’m looking at, it will give me the stats for the one I was looking at initially. The post editor is extremely clunky and fails to save more often than not. This is the only app I have ever reviewed and it is because they really have no excuse.

I have had nothing but frustration trying to write posts using this app on my iPhone. It begins to jump between sections on its own, like its possessed, and unless you hit “update” it won’t stop. It will do this over and over. Clean this bug up guys- it makes it almost impossible to blog on an iPhone. I have updated software on an 11 Pro Max, and it is the same whether connected to cellular or WiFi (ultra fast). FIX THIS PLEASE!

It won't let me sign into my account. It only allows me to create an account.

I get sync errors, image upload errors, unable to upload posts errors on a daily basis. I give up. At this point it's actually better to just do it all via Safari, the wordpress app is broken 😑

This app continues to crash, freeze and act glitchy. I don’t know why but I do know I hope you fix it. I used to rely on this app for everything blogging and now the frustration is no longer worth it.

Who is doing QA over at Wordpress? Block editor is not production ready. After Block editor updates typing words in the editor on both the app or windows laptop keyboard has slowed to a snails pace. It takes a couple seconds just to type each word, probably because you’re clogging the system for garbage internet spam and internet ads that most people block out anyway. Either pull the block editor completely to invest in enhancing the classic system or take down the editor for major coding repairs.

First off, I have been using WordPress to host my business website for the past 2 years as they offered better pricing than some others. Unfortunately, since my Mac has been disabled I am limited to using the iOS (iPad) version, which seems to be lacking in functionality and does not allow me to make certain modifications (like embedding code or widgets). Some other features I would have liked require that I upgrade to a far more expensive version that I do not need and thus find that WordPress’s pricing is somewhat expensive for what you get (especially if you just need to be able to tied it in with your URL). Now, the worst problem I just recently experienced is with their billing. I am someone who prefers to have my account charges handled manually, so in this case I had the Auto Renew turned OFF. Yet to my surprise, WordPress still charged my card!!! To make matters worse, the only way to reverse this (since there is not CS to speak with) was to downgrade my plan (which I was going to do anyways). The automated message stated that it would take them 7-1o business days to refund me if I am eligible. Well guess what? I am F’g eligible since they were not authorized to charge my card in the first place and the authorization/funds should have been reversed immediately. Submitted a Billing Support request, have yet to hear back from them ..... not even an automated confirmation of my submission!! If you choose to use WordPress and pay for their upgrades, make sure to remove your c/c info after payment (especially if you are on annual billing) to make sure they can not charge you illegally like they did to me!!

I do the bulk of my website on a PC browser, but when I need to make a quick fix/edit and am not near my computer, I used to rely on this app. Now when I tap “Pages”, it gets stuck on “fetching pages” and never actually loads them. Why do I have this app if it’s not doing what it is supposed to do??

I just upgraded from iOS 13.6 to 14.0 and now when I try to upload an image from the WP app (which worked prior to the upgrade) I get the error Unable to Sync (WPMediaPickerDomainError error 0).

For an website used by so many people, I honestly can’t believe how horrible this app is. I have an eye condition that makes using my laptop bothersome, so I thought I could try using the app. Boy, was I wrong! First, it didn’t recognize any of my drafts and acted like I had none. I thought I was logged into one of my beta sites for a moment (I wasn’t). I finally found the draft in a different location, but when I started editing the post it kept freezing and glitching. I sat there and watched my screen jump frantically from section to section like someone was remotely using the app and going crazy... then it wouldn’t save, and it keeps cutting my blocks off visually. I turned my phone to landscape to see it better but it’s cut off by the keyboard and won’t move. It’s... awful.

Obviously you’ve never heard of the adage, ‘If it ain’t broke, leave it alone.’ Like so many other sites that were fairly reliable, you’ve gone the way of the dodo bird.

And for the last several updates before that, stats stopped working. If you tried to switch between sites, it would load stats from only the first site you looked at. You would have to force quit the app to look at stats for each individual Wordpress site. I miss using the app as it used to work 90 days ago. Now I can only use Wordpress on my desktop or laptop.

This new update is glitching terribly

I used to use this app a lot until they changed to the new block editor. It isn’t compatible with the app so I have to go to the browser to do any updates. I ended up deleting it but would very much like to use it again if it is updated to the new changes.

For a while there, switching between sites would not correctly switch which site stats were shown. Ok now that works, but scheduled posts aren’t actually posting on secondary site. I’ve confirmed both sites are using the same time zone so that’s not it. #BrokenApp

I could make posts from anywhere. But since the updates, I can’t get anything to post. I love writing on my blog. But this makes it more difficult to do so. So sorry I updated.

Thank you continuing to improve the app! Can we request features? One that requests a quick passcode to enter the app if we are already logged in

I wanted to start writing blogs. Unfortunately it’s very difficult for me. Since this company does not have any accessibility features included into the app or the website. They are discriminating against those who are blind or visually impaired that use assistive technology. Like voiceover on the iOS products. If you know me I get this Dunstan 100%. If anyone out there is blind or visually impaired. I do not recommending you to get this app. As like everyone else they don’t care if you’re blind. Only thing people care for is going out running up and down streets. Howling and screaming over stupid and nonsense stuff. And not the important things.

I rarely go to make a negative review but since this is an app I have to keep using I felt like I needed to say something. I usually have to switch between using my browser and the app because when typing a rather simple blog the app will continuously freeze and make me wait for it to load words. It'll let me type like 5 at a time and then freeze again and again. I would use only the browser version (on my phone) but it doesn't always want to function correctly when it comes to formatting. So I usually end up having to use the browser to type paragraphs and then format them in the app. It just seems like it should have better optimization than this.

The people who follow me on line are wondering why they only see my cover page and not any content 🤬

I use this app regularly to update two personal blogs and check usage stats with JetPack enabled. Had a problem with the stats updating between the two sites, and got a quick developer response. Bug was fixed in a week. A+

The app is amazing and the description of the updates entertaining. What more can you ask for.

When it works, which is infrequently at best, it does a decent job. I keep the app updated as well as my phone, still crashes trying to do the most routine tasks.

Pleas less features and more speed and stability. The latest you introduced involves the statistics page for users with multiple sites. It gets stuck on the last site’s stat page when you switch sites. You have to close the app, wait and restart before you can see the stats for a diff site

I caution everyone to stick with your free version. I wanted oh so badly to get Premium and had huge budget to do so. However i could not see how to simply contact them. Im sure there is a way but they make ir very difficult. No thanks. I been around waaaay to long to know t’s best to stay clear of companies like this as they just want your money and nothing else

I don’t know what’s going on with recent updates but all my sites are showing the stats and data of one single site. The app is basically useless now.

I still can’t log in using my email for starters...

Apple stop this blackmailing apps to get 30% - especially when they are free! See the recent The Verge article about WordPress.

The app has so many missing features. Even the ability to edit titles, captions, and descriptions in Media. The app is great if you keep things simple or if you don’t want to be productive.

I haven’t used this app in a long while but updated it today to write a blog entry directly on my site, and it was a no-go. I have a personal website and this application won’t connect to it because it’s not WordPress version 4.0 or higher(?). So it’s now useless to me, unfortunately.

Since version 15 I have been having problems this software connecting to a server that properly restricts itself to modern TLS versions.

When you try to edit shapes or more advanced things on your website it is very hard/confusing to figure out how to do it. If you have a professional do your website then it’s fine but if you’re trying to do it yourself I would not recommend.

fix it has many problems it closes and opens by itself it is not possible to access the desktop to correct titles as it was before it was better,

I deleted the app, reloaded it and it’s working. I recommend updating/saving often in case the below happens to you. I’ve upgraded my rating from a 1 to a 3. *** It is frustrating when I spend a good amount of time editing a post only to have the app freeze while updating. This results in losing all my corrections. I did a final edit on ten blogs last night and the app worked wonderfully. I was excited to have an easy way to update my work. My final edits are light and mostly entail changes to text and links. However, today I spent a half hour editing a blog and it froze when I tried to update it. I tried a couple more times by restarting my phone. It still froze. I checked my internet and signal connection they were top notch. Like iMovie and other programs that I never use anymore that crash and cost me valuable time, I will need to find another way to edit my WP blogs on the go. It would be awesome if it worked as I am a traveling musician. I have an iPhone 6s Plus should this make a difference.

For a very brief period, I was able to upload photos. But you broke it again in one of the recent updates. I honestly don’t do much worth Wordpress except make blog posts with pics. But now pics won’t upload. Two suggestions: 1. Allow users to resize at time of upload. iPhone pics are enormous and I don’t need to upload an 8mb pic. 2. Provide more detailed error messages when uploads fail.

Its a poor app I uploaded a picture and it says complete but once I publish it it disappears! , I contacted there customer service several times but still no solution given , my work has been effected by this issue , so i give it 0 star

This site intentionally makes every step unnecessarily difficult. It’s incredible! Now, when I signed up, I was prepared to be “tricked” into paying for something and then finding out that there’s some dumb process in order to receive a refund ... usually the amount is so low, most people just don’t feel like going through the “hassle”. This company ALSO has had me log in multiple times, get routed to the wrong page after clicking on their link upon looking up how to change my Primary Domain page... the page was similar so it was obviously intended to frustrate the poor soul to click on the link through their “Support” tab. I’ve received error messages that my purchase didn’t go through...Thought that everything I saved was deleted... This is just Day 1!! Seriously though, are you guys just bored? Making a profit just ain’t what it used to be? Get your stuff together.

I've had this app on my iPad pro (it's about a little over a year old) and I've never been able to upload a draft post or publish a post to any of my WordPress websites. I see stats, I see published posts, I see drafts I've saved from where I wrote them on a browser. But every time I try to publish a post or even save the draft it keeps giving me an error message. No matter how many times I delete and reinstall the app, it never works. it's pretty much just junk taking up space in my iPad. (Yes my os is always up to date)

Wordpress is the worst don’t by it ore else I’ll delete your Minecraft acount

While I certainly appreciate all the work the developers have done on this app, it still remains really buggy. With each update, something gets resolved but nearly every time, something else breaks. The latest bug is preventing me from approving comments. When I approve, it immediately returns to unapproved status. Same with spam. If I flag a comment as spam, it almost immediately returns to its original, unspam status. It’s quite frustrating. EDIT: In response to developer questions - I am logged in as the administrator and it is a personal blog using Jetpack, hosted by Bluehost.

This feature used to work but it is no longer working. I tried adding media in a new blog, existing blog, and just adding media seperately and it does not work. I have read/write access on media. I’m not sure why this doesn’t work all the sudden.

Now I can add more than 5 posts daily by WordPress app. But one problem remains, which is the addition of the feature to change the text color and font type when adding an posts.

Post drafts are constantly unable to update when adding a photo from device

Hello. My app is not opening. It is stuck on the WordPress logo and closes on its own. Please help? Thanks

This app is practically useless. I am stuck without a computer, which apparently means I have no access to my website because the Wordpress app doesn’t give me access to any of the details I need.

This is not a very intuitive app, and is not fully functional in the iOS version. If you have an iPad of use a iMac, log onto the web version for fully functionality and to follow the training videos. I can’t recommend for iOS devices.

I have tried other blogging platforms and found WordPress the Best. It’s simple to use, versatile, and no pressure; you go at your own pace. Blogging is so simplified. Thanks WordPress.

For several months now, the media upload function has been spotty at best. The only thing I use this app for is to upload photos from my phone; I write posts on the desktop version. I have to make multiple attempts to upload photos without it timing out. The bulk upload NEVER works, and a single photo may require 4 or 5 attempts before miraculously uploading. It's frustrating because my blog is very much photo-based, and I can't get the images from my phone to my media library any other way.

What is the use of this app when you can’t upload post? I even went to the extent of creating another account with Wordpress.com but still same error.

I’d give it zero starts, if it would let me. ☝️

The app has great potential I was excited to use it but it constantly crashes. Hope to be able to use it in the future. Update: they reached out to help get the crashes fixed

I’ve been using this app for a while and for some reason, even when I’ve set my blog to public it’s still tracking author views behaving like it’s set to private. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled this many times but still I have the same problem. Can someone help me with this?

Every time I click on “view site,” it crashes.

Downloaded the app to try for the first time, but was unable to connect to my site. Received a 403 error due to XML-RPC. Word has it logging in with the app via mobile can result in a security breach.

I have been using this app for a week and it keeps crashing no matter how much I have reinstalled it. It’s still the same. On the other hand, I liked this app because it is quite interesting that we get to do blogging and share our interest with the rest.

Buscando, encontré esta APP es fantástica. El rendimiento en el tiempo para las actividades del día es increíble. Felicitaciones.

I loved Wordpress until I started seeing more and more racists and prejudice posts on the app.

having a difficulty posting since the last update. i couldn’t see the button “publish now” when i want to publish.

Updated Review on June 9, 2020 I just updated this app ran into a pretty big bug in the beta version involving the 'My Sites' tab. Typically I have 8 or 9 websites that I maintain using WordPress. What I found listed under the 'My Sites' tab were maybe 50-100 websites listed there...all of them were mine. But since I really only have 8 or 9 sites, all the others were merely duplicates. __________________________________________________________________ Original Review Entitled: I love the WordPress app because it's improved my productivity...a lot! __________________________________________________________________ WordPress has created the best mobile app for working on your website...bar none. I should qualify my statement to read (at least amongst all those that I tested) for website creation. Some of the WP ios app's best features include: • The WP app is generally fast and responsive • There's a great widget for checking stats • The WP app is robust enough to mange a lot of websites and blogs all at once. • The WP app is very easy to navigate and use. • You can use the Reader feature (which offers a simple RSS utility) from right within the app. As of June 9th 2020 almost everything involving the WP app works well now... (well almost everything...) There are only a few tiny things left that I need to use their web-based browser editor for now. Ideally, if those functions were added to the app, I'd never need to use a browser for editing or adding content to my sites again using an iPad. Some the missing features listed below might or might not be available to you...because it’s quite possible or even quite probable that I simply haven't found all of these features yet. 1. The ability to edit a post's excerpt prior to posting. 2. A fast and easy way to access the short URL for posts and pages 3. Menu management...each time I add a post I manually add it to the menus for my vsatips website too. A few tiny bugs currently exist...for rarely used things. One is if you try to use the Share extension when in Preview mode the app crashes.

I find that a lot of the functions I use on the desk top just don’t translate to the ipadpro app. Media is one area where I want to embed a video from youtube but there just is no way to do it. That is only one issue. I also have the app lock up on me. I have a fully loaded Ipad 11 Pro 2018 running the latest ios system. I have run into lockups when trying to refresh. I have to shut down the app and then reload it. It’s okay for what it it but does not come close to the desk top version.

Any attempt to add or edit post within the app causes it to crash.

I love the wordpress app. I can write my thoughts from anywhere and continue on my laptop later. However since the last 2 updates I’ve noticed that my drafts dont update as posts from the app even though I’ve posted from my laptop. I cant also see scheduled posts because they still say drafts on the app. Please fix this asap. It makes it difficult to stay on track if i cant see what ive already done. Thank you!

This app is leaps and bounds more useful than just 4 months ago when I uninstalled. I’m glad to see the leader in website creation is catching up in their app. My first complaint is that it is way too easy to accidentally delete what I’m writing by simply trying to scroll and I can’t find an undo option. My second complaint is that I can’t go to the next line, they call it ‘enter’ on PC. I can’t get the hang of ‘return’; it does not just go to the beginning of the next line. How do I do that, go to the beginning of the next line? It’s probably very simple. Thank you for the recent updates!

This is a very ambitious app in its scope— it is trying to replicate all of the features of WP web experience. Unfortunately, the feature set is so large and the scope footprint is very complicated for Wordpress. As a result, while this app has some great features and is easy to navigate, it is some extordinarily annoying bugs, especially when using it on my iPad with an external keyboard. The sections don’t expand as I type, puting my cursor into “invisible space.” It can be very difficult to touch-select my cursor to the right spot. It has strange glitches and gets into strange states where it needs to be restarted. If it didn’t have these bugs, I’d give it a 5. I’d really like to see it stay in the App store and improve but for the time being it is a sub-par experience to working on the WP web on my laptop, so this app is not for me for that reason.
