I like the Wordpress app for blogging but Wordpress starts crashing freezing boots me off of it fix Wordpress

I enjoy putting down creative writing or notes of inspiration. The site makes it simple to use for something fun and enjoyable.

Absolute waste of time. The app barely refreshes the list of posts, still calls things blog posts, adds formatting to existing posts. Tired of the bugs. The latest updates made it worse (it used to sort-of work). Scheduled posts don’t show. Refresh is slow at best. The only thing it works for is approving comments.

Nothing has changed, settings-wise, but now whenever we write on our blog and WordPress links it to our social media platforms, there is no picture or associated preview box as before this latest update. Disappointed at this and hopefully a fix will come quickly.

I just lost the blog post I’ve been working on for two days. Didn’t post. Not in drafts. Not saved in progress. This is not the first time, but it will be the last. iPhone app works. iPad app does not show any of my content in the my site area, just the name of the blog. But if I click on a comment, it links to the post. It’s inscrutable and incredibly frustrating.

I have used this app for years, blogging mostly from my phone. I have preferred it to the website, since it’s been so easy and user-friendly. However, recent updates are making me scream in frustration. 1). Why has the classic editor option been removed? WHY? Why not still give us an option to have the user-friendly way to edit? I hate the block format. For this reason alone, it looks like I’ll be forced to log onto the website every time I want to make a change, which is a real pain. 2). Why has the option been removed to link to existing content from my blog? This made it so easy to hyperlink back to posts that I’ve created. Now...just gone. Again, WHY?? It almost seems like the people making changes to the app never actually use the app in real life, because I see no reason to remove these features. This just creates more steps now. Open another page, search for archives blog posts, copy/paste, and come back to add the link in. Before it was one click. The purpose of an app is to make it easier. This app used to do that. Now...not really. Now I have to log onto the web version if I want to actually work without fiddling with the aggravating blocks. Seems like it’s just making it get harder. Wish I could go back to a previous version, honestly. ***edited 9/22/21*** I received feedback feom the developer and some of my frustrations have been addressed. The hyperlink issue has been explained and I can now use it. As has the archived posts issue. NOW my issue is still: I cannot upload photos into the app. It just never uploads them, and then it will not save the whole post. I lose all changes I make if I try to upload an image. It never gets around to uploading the images, so I have to go back online, where the post has not been saved/updated. Again—this is a real pain. I end up having to do everything twice. I like doing my typing in the app, but if it does not save the info, I’m sunk. It still leaves me working between the app and the web, not knowing when I’m going to lose info. Or I have to type the paragraphs, then go to the web to add photos. Just not cool. If this bug could be fixed this would be a great app.

Just give it up and bring back the classic editor. It was powerful, it was simple, and contained formatting options not available in any of your "blocks." You have purposely degraded the “classic block“ to remove formatting options. Why would you do that? You have a system now that is more cumbersome and provides fewer formatting options than Tumblr— and that is something to be ashamed of.

Once there are approximately 100 comments on a site, no more comments are loaded. Why is there a limit on the comments I see in the app, but not on the website. I won’t be using the app until this is fixed

Great app

Apparently you can only log into this app if you use a WordPress.com login. I only have a WordPress.org login. Yet the site keeps directing me to download this app, SMH. What is the point??!

Seriously I have wanted to throw my phone and my computer out the window while trying to download photos. I have great internet connection, but for some reason Wordpress hates me when it comes to downloading photos.

So disappointed! This ipad app does not upload drafts for review or photos to add to posts even with high speed reliable WiFi or cable Ethernet attached.

The app continues to improve and that’s great. But the iPhone widget is very glitchy & unreliable. It constantly duplicates itself and then it suddenly “can’t load” any data.

Great ease of use! 🌸

Hello! I was just messing around with the new update and, wish there was more accessibility in the new block editor on the widgets panel! Much like how it is when editing a block on blog posts. I can’t figure out how to get rid of a block on the widgets page. Voiceover user.

It took me a while to come around to WP but I love it. I blog from my laptop and my phone. The phone app is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love it

Latest update on latest iOS version does not upload pictures, on wifi or data.

I place my posts in tidied html. This app untidies them and makes the html invisible (even in what they call “html mode”). Website or post preview yields a blank screen. Aside from that, the app is a nice shortcut from having to login to the website blog control panel for entering new posts. And that’s all it is. Pick yer *poison*.

This app is dope...easier functionality than the web browser, it’s like posting to social media!! If you are a blogger and are keeping up with trends, you need this!!

I’ve gotten so behind because it constantly throws errors. Failure to load or failure to post. When I first got it was so great and then in the last year it has been a mess.

I enjoy using their product for autobiography blogging and some public access. They maintain and have developed a very user friendly interface for simple to involved website design for people, groups, or businesses. And their visual design and navigation looks polished and professional.

So glad you added editing tools! So much easier than the web builder for me. Although I have barely begun to use it, just browsing through the app I’m in awe. The old app was little more than an analytics tool and way to work with comments, which for me were few. It never solved my problems, but it looks like this will. I was literally about to jump ship to another builder with better mobile tools (ahem, Universe or Wix…) but I couldn’t justify the move when I already have so much content and widgets setup. It would have been a major process, and not likely to maintain all the features I’m using. I only work on my iPad—no desktop/laptop in my house—but find the web builder clunky and slow. I got used to it, but at the same time it drained my creative flow and I stopped wanting to work on my site… NOW I CAN GET BACK TO IT! Without the painful transfer out of Wordpress. Thank you! I hope you keep improving it. (Universe’s builder is beautiful visually, maybe take a cue. 😉)

I always have received notifications when a follower site posted an update. I haven’t changed any of my settings and just noticed that I haven’t been getting notifications for months. I thought my friend just stopped posting. But the posts are there. I have to go to my notifications in the ap and refresh them to see if something has been posted. All my notification settings are turned on and I am following the site. How can I fix this? I hate missing updates.

The app and desktop versions don’t speak to each other, so updates aren’t often shared. If anything, the desktop is more likely to have the app version, but not vice versa. It’s also nearly impossible to upload images via the app. I hate the app!!

I finally gave up and deleted this hot mess after drafting my 3rd blog post in as many weeks that couldn’t be uploaded, published, saved as a draft, or even previewed so I could copy-and-paste my thousand words of text into the dashboard in Firefox, which works just fine every time. Each paragraph had to be ported out individually. If there was a point to this app, I believe its been missed.

The blogging is great, but customer service is terrible. Almost impossible to get help

The app never worked for me. It just keeps loading but never does anything. Doesn’t matter if I have full bars or fast wifi.

Can’t ever share an image using the iOS share pane to Wordpress. The text will post but not he image. Just a placeholder. It used to work just fine, but not anymore.

I’ve been using the Wordpress app for years. The flow to add new pictures to a new post is broken on the iPhone SE v1; after creating a new post and giving it a title, I click the “+” sign to add a new picture. Rather than coming up with the “what would you like to add” flyover, it instead shows a blank screen. The only workaround I’ve found is to save the post as a draft, open the draft, and then click the “+” sign in the bottom left before typing any words. It’s also buggy to edit a different paragraph. Please fix!

Downloaded the app since an injury keeps me from comfortably using my laptop. Embedded widgets wouldn't work, and every time I tried to go to the settings page that popped up the app wouldn’t open anything. My app drafts would not sync to my browser draft at all and I lost two days of writing from the browser draft overriding my app one. I deleted the app, it was an absolute waste of time.

At the risk of being attacked, I’d like to say that I don’t appreciate the app logo being turned into a rainbow for pride. While it is great for some, it goes against religious/personal beliefs of others. If you’d like to show your support, please make it where app users can opt in rather than force everyone to have a rainbow. Forcing the issue is just as insensitive and offensive as doing the opposite. Rather than automatically updating the app face, again, just let people choose for themselves. I’m quite disappointed that, for a platform that is designed to be personalized to suit and encompass a person, this isn’t customizable in this regard. This is a big issue right now. Please be more aware that without giving options, we are recreating the same problems with a different spotlight on it. I hope you read and take this into consideration. 🕊

changed their App logo to promote a political agenda. Deleted the App. Canceled my Wordpress service

I’m not interested in having your personal bedroom choices displayed on my phone screen. Get rid of it it!

If you want a custom rainbow icon, then provide the option to select it. Don’t force it on people. Deleting this app never to be reinstalled.

Ability to change the icon or not, too much corporate virtue signaling in the world as is. No desire for more here. Bad call.

I love the app, but as of right now I cannot use it because the custom HTML is not supported on the app. Any plans on having this available on the app? Thanks.

Why does my app have to be a rainbow now? This has nothing to do with me or my business.

Love the idea of using the app to write my blog, but it’s very, very glitchy. I posted and then went back to edit some things and I’m in edit mode and it quit letting me actually edit halfway through and now I can’t make changes. I’ve closed it out and restarted it and nothing. Annoying.

I don’t need it.

Not gonna give a good rating to an app that went rainbow.

Where heck is theme editing option?

For the past month word press hasn’t allowed me to publish my blogs, let alone even save them as a draft. Everything fails to load, and it’s frustrating and annoying.

Doesn’t work. Awful app.

Why? This wasn’t broken. The ability to to just select a photo in iOS and to make a quick post made the app feel and work just like Twitter without the hassle. Now you have to open the app and do “Wordpress” stuff to post….come on man.

I can’t change my profile picture on the app or website. Y’all broke something. Please fix it.

What is going on developers?? Most of my audience doesn't see my posts? Other bloggers have had previously approved comments put into pending approval. The number of likes are down.. And it's not because people are out instead of sitting at the computer. This most recent update has really messed up the system. So discouraged!

I’m on WP for about 4 years now. It takes a lot of work to build a system and well into that process I discovered WP lost my footnotes in many pages. Of course they can’t fix what they break because WP.com is a “managed” environment which means someone is screwing with your site and you don’t know it. I’ve had them break fonts which again I have to hunt thru my system to fix everything. The help desk is good to help you build your desired design but after that your screwed. Again (now May 2021) I just discover my pages, some many months old, are missing embedded images. I’ve contacted their help desk 3 times. - no answer. I’ll have to go thru my whole system to find what broke. I’m proofing another page at the time of this writing and now it has cross linked footnotes from other pages. The last WP iOS app lost its Add button to add posts and pages! The ability to contact the help desk thru that interface is also missing. Bottom line WP is extremely proprietary and you cannot export your content to another platform at all from WP.com. If you are serious about your website consider very carefully whether you want to do business with WP. It’s a huge risk.

I always have the hardest time uploading photos from my phone to the mobile app. Less then half the time it works. All websites are mostly are photos and words , this needs to be fixed

I really enjoy the interface of Wordpress and have used it as my blogging platform for years. During that time, I've noticed an increase in what seem to be 'bot' profiles and activity. Over half the likes on a recent post of mine seem to be fake profiles... they don't even bother to change the photos! I would much prefer 0-3 comments or 'likes' from actual humans as opposed to a dozen bot reactions.

If you want a great website with a dynamic blogging feature, look no further. Wordpress is your platform! Sign up today!

It’d great to see what day (ex Wed) in the weekly widget

Having an issue with creating an account. It request a email to send a link to in order to login. Keeps saying the link is expired.

Update April 2021. These days, I only use this app to upload photos to my self-hosted WP site from my phone. But it makes my site unavailable. The hosting service pulled the logs and the app opens so many connections that the server thinks it’s a DOS attack and blocks my IP address! I’ve gone to uploading just one photo at a time, but sometimes it still looks like an attack to the server! So frustrating! I deleted two old "local" drafts from the app and the app also deleted the more recent published versions!! Gone! Several hours of unrecoverable work lost forever. Super unhappy. Update, Jan. 2018. This app also has issues synchronizing properly. I edit an existing draft at work on a browser, later open my iPad app at home, write more, then notice that my "at work" writings were missing and are now—unfortunately—overwritten and lost since the draft saved from the app. It seems the app assumes whatever version of a draft it has in still memory is current—BAD ASSUMPTION! Proper synchronization is major issue with this app. I'd recommend only editing from a browser and not using this app. I think I may just delete it off my iPad, it causes more headaches than it solves.

Please bring ALL of the functionality for the block editor to the iPad app or restore the classic editor. It is not possible to take a paragraph (text) and convert it to a header. However, you can do that in Safari. Also, where is the block type “classic”? Answer: it is missing from the app. Fixing the app or restoring the classic will result in 5 stars. Thanks!

Wordpress finally pulled the trigger and did away with the classic editor. I absolutely, positively HATE the block editor. So much, I refuse to use it. We should be given a choice to which one we want to use. Looking for a new blog site because I’m done with this site..bye-bye.

No way to update phone number from mobile app. No way to change 2FA settings from mobile app. Can’t login on web browser, even though I’m logged in on mobile app.

My only criticism is that it’s very difficult to change the font color. If I click on the general color I want (i.e. click on red in the bottom strip so I can choose a specific shade of red in the larger box above), the tool immediately closes without letting me make the more specific choice. I have to highlight the word and open the tool all over again.

All of sudden Jetpack is throwing out errors and my blogs won’t post...I don’t want to pay them! I assume the beating will continue until the morale improves.

This app was working perfectly fine until yesterday. Now the app does not upload posts. It’s extremely frustrating. Please update this glitch!’

Ok so I’m new on the app but let me just say I love it, at first I was like what am I doing feeling a little frustrated, but it helped me to remember my college day courses of building my own website. I also like that I have freedom to write how I feel express myself freely and just knowing that there is a community out there that’s like me that’s amazing. Wordpress is not expensive and I hope in due time I will be able to start generating some value from from my website. The most important the tips that other bloggers share to be better at your craft are great and very helpful please take advantage if this is the path your trying to take.

I’d like to be able to write again on Wordpress without the very buggy block editor. But I can only do that by paying for a business plan to get the classic editor plugin. Please make this plugin free because I’m kinda not inclined to pay for the terrible job Wordpress did coding Guttenberg. Is management listening to people complain about the block editor? Or do you want everyone to stop using your platform ? There have been complaints for 2 years now and nobody in management seems to care.

The app is good, but after each update it seems like the Wordpress icon disappears from the iPhone photos app share sheet (what slides up from the bottom when you tap the share icon on a photo). Creating a post from a photo is much easier from this sheet than from the app itself, so please fix this behavior. Thanks!

It was great being able to work on my sites anywhere until it wasn’t. Stopped functioning. Nothing would publish to any of my sites. Couldn’t get it to work again. 😿

If all you are doing is blogging, writing to convey information, adding an illustration or two, and not trying to make every page a heavy mess, the block editor grabs complication from the jaws of simplicity. In an effort to make WordPress more than some people need, they are leaving some of us behind. You are forgetting your roots and if you continue down this road you are going to turn long-time fans off. How about giving us choices?

I like the app but believe it could use a few tweaks. The main issue being the app and regular browser edition of Wordpress seem to not communicate with each other. There have been several instances where I would start or edit a blog post on one platform, save it and/or publish it, and the other platform wouldn’t reflect the edits. I would then have to redo whatever edits I made. Other than that, the WP app is pretty good overall.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but the app is unresponsive when I go to the Pages section, and am unable to select and edit pages.

The app is primitive and awful. Pages and posts that I create using the desktop shows an error message saying that it is not compatible. The desktop is awfully slow. I have a fast internet connection and my device is pretty much new. When I load a page, a lot of time it get stuck. The software is full of bugs. It acts erratic with no explanation. It erases my codes. I have paid for premium, but spend hours every day trying to figure out what is wrong. The customer service is polite. The fact remains that their system has lots of glitches that they will need to fix. I am not happy.

I love the look and the feel of the app, but some of the functions I use like You tube links and the slide view images were not available. Even if I loaded the slide view images on the internet, the app removed them if I made an update on the app. The YouTube links showed not supported, but at least the app didn’t remove it. Liked the app a lot but found that frustrating.

The oblivious response from the developer does not make Wordpress any less psychopathic bullies. In fact, it just makes me loathe Wordpress. Time to export my blogs and delete my accounts forever. I am constantly floored at the number of companies which completely get away with crapping on their customers. And the number of customers who worship them for it. Also, the developer response completely ignores the LIES LIES LIES in the update description. The update description describes the current update as THE LAST UPDATE THAT SUPPORTS iOS12. Wordpress are either psychopathic liars, or so incompetent they never should have found success, even accidentally. You LIED to your customers and somehow this is MY fault? I’ll add Wordpress to the list of companies I hope to see go bankrupt for their psychopathy and sociopathy. I’ll admit, this one took me completely by surprise. I had no idea Wordpress was run by psychopaths, sociopaths, tyrants and bullies. Though I’m not at all surprised. Companies who only care about SOME of their customers, but discriminate against their poorer customers don’t deserve success. I despise living in a world which worships psychopaths, bullies, and tyrants and allows overt discrimination like this to continue. Everybody CLAIMS to care about the poor and disabled, until it comes to not trying to bully the poor into buying hardware they neither need nor want, and can not afford. Elitist houres. *** The update says this is the last version that will support ios12 but when I try to download the update, it says 13 required. It’s disgusting enough when the phone company tries to bully me into a new phone when my old one still works perfectly fine, but it’s even worse — and completely baffling — that app makers would also try to bully me into having to buy a new, overpriced phone that has none of the features I want, and all the features I don’t want. To hades with you all. I’d rather live in a cave than be bullied by you tyrants.

We have been using word press for our blog for years now, but this app has been having the same issues for at least 2 years now. Every single day we post the app will double post our blog posts. To our website, Facebook, and Twitter. So then I have to go through and delete the duplicate posts on all the platforms. There have even been times that the app posts 3 and 4 times. This has been very frustrating that this hasn’t been fixed for 2 years.

B E ST app! Follow for follow Instagram.com/saintbaker

For web devs Whether you’re going for a career, quick task, whatever, even if you’re bored like me and just need something to do. Wordpress gets your foot in the door. It’s a big world, it doesn’t feel so much using Wordpress Thanks guys and gals! And ai :)

If I share a link to my Wordpress, that doesn’t mean it’s ready to publish, but I would still like to save it as a draft for further editing. (Also it would be nice for the in-app editor to support custom fields.)

I’m no longer able to login with a username and password and cannot connect my self - hosted site.

Recently the app started timing out every time I try to load a photo for a blog post. It still works on my laptop but since my photos are more accessible on my phone, I would rather use the app. Without that functionality, the app is basically useless for me.

I was primarily using the desktop to write my blog, but would open the app occasionally to look at stats. This appears to send WP functionality into a tizzy. Twice I’ve found that it does things that I didn’t initiate, like posting my blog! I was VERY careful not to do so, so I know it wasn’t a matter of a mis-clicked button. Safest thing is just to get rid of the app.

I was excited about being able to edit and manage my website remotely but the Wordpress app doesn’t even let me login! It continually comes up with a connection error. I’m so frustrated...why can’t they make an app that just works!

It works on my iphone, but for some reason when attempting use on tablets it doesn’t work. Had the same issue with tablet version on my old android tablet as well. Really disappointing and uninstalling immediately.

Had to do a fresh install on my iPhone 11. Downloaded the app and I just go round and round trying to log in. Have to log out to log in. Check email for link that is always expired. Done these for three straight days. Deleting app and reinstalling, turning phone off and restarting. Nothing works. So frustrated that this is not a user friendly app to install and log in. Ughhhhhh. I am so done with trying.

The widget keeps telling me to sign in. I’ve signed out and signed back in am still seeing the same issues. Pretty disappointing.

Unable to upload products. Scrolling down accidentally closes the the page you are working on. No draft save option. No undo option if you have updated. You cannot go back. I shifted from wix to Wordpress but so far hating it

The block editor is awful. I have lost so much control over how my post looks. I have already started working on a Square Space site.

On my laptop and phone easy to use!

I was researching a rental and it said I had to download this app. So I did. And I looked up the website to the rental I was trying to research and it said that that company hasn’t posted in a while and there was nothing to see. Super frustrating and a big waste of my time 😡😤

I love this app! Super useful. I really enjoy the new updates and features. I would definitely use this and will recommend it to friends. It is possibly the easiest and most convenient way to make a website. However, I do think that some improvements could be made. For example, I often get unwanted suggestions and remarks that are not necessary. Also, when I go onto my site, the recent changes that I have made don’t appear. I do refresh the page, but find it doesn’t show up until the next day. This was a huge problem, especially, when I posted a link that led nowhere. When I tried to update it, it didn’t show up until the next day. Please check this out, and if you can, update the site more often! Love the new changes, and overall think this app deserves a 4 star review.

I like the app which is rare for me, I use the desktop version and the app for different things but they are both useful and work!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I like the Wordpress app for blogging but Wordpress starts crashing freezing boots me off of it fix Wordpress

I enjoy putting down creative writing or notes of inspiration. The site makes it simple to use for something fun and enjoyable.

Absolute waste of time. The app barely refreshes the list of posts, still calls things blog posts, adds formatting to existing posts. Tired of the bugs. The latest updates made it worse (it used to sort-of work). Scheduled posts don’t show. Refresh is slow at best. The only thing it works for is approving comments.

Nothing has changed, settings-wise, but now whenever we write on our blog and WordPress links it to our social media platforms, there is no picture or associated preview box as before this latest update. Disappointed at this and hopefully a fix will come quickly.

I just lost the blog post I’ve been working on for two days. Didn’t post. Not in drafts. Not saved in progress. This is not the first time, but it will be the last. iPhone app works. iPad app does not show any of my content in the my site area, just the name of the blog. But if I click on a comment, it links to the post. It’s inscrutable and incredibly frustrating.

I have used this app for years, blogging mostly from my phone. I have preferred it to the website, since it’s been so easy and user-friendly. However, recent updates are making me scream in frustration. 1). Why has the classic editor option been removed? WHY? Why not still give us an option to have the user-friendly way to edit? I hate the block format. For this reason alone, it looks like I’ll be forced to log onto the website every time I want to make a change, which is a real pain. 2). Why has the option been removed to link to existing content from my blog? This made it so easy to hyperlink back to posts that I’ve created. Now...just gone. Again, WHY?? It almost seems like the people making changes to the app never actually use the app in real life, because I see no reason to remove these features. This just creates more steps now. Open another page, search for archives blog posts, copy/paste, and come back to add the link in. Before it was one click. The purpose of an app is to make it easier. This app used to do that. Now...not really. Now I have to log onto the web version if I want to actually work without fiddling with the aggravating blocks. Seems like it’s just making it get harder. Wish I could go back to a previous version, honestly. ***edited 9/22/21*** I received feedback feom the developer and some of my frustrations have been addressed. The hyperlink issue has been explained and I can now use it. As has the archived posts issue. NOW my issue is still: I cannot upload photos into the app. It just never uploads them, and then it will not save the whole post. I lose all changes I make if I try to upload an image. It never gets around to uploading the images, so I have to go back online, where the post has not been saved/updated. Again—this is a real pain. I end up having to do everything twice. I like doing my typing in the app, but if it does not save the info, I’m sunk. It still leaves me working between the app and the web, not knowing when I’m going to lose info. Or I have to type the paragraphs, then go to the web to add photos. Just not cool. If this bug could be fixed this would be a great app.

Just give it up and bring back the classic editor. It was powerful, it was simple, and contained formatting options not available in any of your "blocks." You have purposely degraded the “classic block“ to remove formatting options. Why would you do that? You have a system now that is more cumbersome and provides fewer formatting options than Tumblr— and that is something to be ashamed of.

Once there are approximately 100 comments on a site, no more comments are loaded. Why is there a limit on the comments I see in the app, but not on the website. I won’t be using the app until this is fixed

Great app

Apparently you can only log into this app if you use a WordPress.com login. I only have a WordPress.org login. Yet the site keeps directing me to download this app, SMH. What is the point??!

Seriously I have wanted to throw my phone and my computer out the window while trying to download photos. I have great internet connection, but for some reason Wordpress hates me when it comes to downloading photos.

So disappointed! This ipad app does not upload drafts for review or photos to add to posts even with high speed reliable WiFi or cable Ethernet attached.

The app continues to improve and that’s great. But the iPhone widget is very glitchy & unreliable. It constantly duplicates itself and then it suddenly “can’t load” any data.

Great ease of use! 🌸

Hello! I was just messing around with the new update and, wish there was more accessibility in the new block editor on the widgets panel! Much like how it is when editing a block on blog posts. I can’t figure out how to get rid of a block on the widgets page. Voiceover user.

It took me a while to come around to WP but I love it. I blog from my laptop and my phone. The phone app is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love it

Latest update on latest iOS version does not upload pictures, on wifi or data.

I place my posts in tidied html. This app untidies them and makes the html invisible (even in what they call “html mode”). Website or post preview yields a blank screen. Aside from that, the app is a nice shortcut from having to login to the website blog control panel for entering new posts. And that’s all it is. Pick yer *poison*.

This app is dope...easier functionality than the web browser, it’s like posting to social media!! If you are a blogger and are keeping up with trends, you need this!!

I’ve gotten so behind because it constantly throws errors. Failure to load or failure to post. When I first got it was so great and then in the last year it has been a mess.

I enjoy using their product for autobiography blogging and some public access. They maintain and have developed a very user friendly interface for simple to involved website design for people, groups, or businesses. And their visual design and navigation looks polished and professional.

So glad you added editing tools! So much easier than the web builder for me. Although I have barely begun to use it, just browsing through the app I’m in awe. The old app was little more than an analytics tool and way to work with comments, which for me were few. It never solved my problems, but it looks like this will. I was literally about to jump ship to another builder with better mobile tools (ahem, Universe or Wix…) but I couldn’t justify the move when I already have so much content and widgets setup. It would have been a major process, and not likely to maintain all the features I’m using. I only work on my iPad—no desktop/laptop in my house—but find the web builder clunky and slow. I got used to it, but at the same time it drained my creative flow and I stopped wanting to work on my site… NOW I CAN GET BACK TO IT! Without the painful transfer out of Wordpress. Thank you! I hope you keep improving it. (Universe’s builder is beautiful visually, maybe take a cue. 😉)

I always have received notifications when a follower site posted an update. I haven’t changed any of my settings and just noticed that I haven’t been getting notifications for months. I thought my friend just stopped posting. But the posts are there. I have to go to my notifications in the ap and refresh them to see if something has been posted. All my notification settings are turned on and I am following the site. How can I fix this? I hate missing updates.

The app and desktop versions don’t speak to each other, so updates aren’t often shared. If anything, the desktop is more likely to have the app version, but not vice versa. It’s also nearly impossible to upload images via the app. I hate the app!!

I finally gave up and deleted this hot mess after drafting my 3rd blog post in as many weeks that couldn’t be uploaded, published, saved as a draft, or even previewed so I could copy-and-paste my thousand words of text into the dashboard in Firefox, which works just fine every time. Each paragraph had to be ported out individually. If there was a point to this app, I believe its been missed.

The blogging is great, but customer service is terrible. Almost impossible to get help

The app never worked for me. It just keeps loading but never does anything. Doesn’t matter if I have full bars or fast wifi.

Can’t ever share an image using the iOS share pane to Wordpress. The text will post but not he image. Just a placeholder. It used to work just fine, but not anymore.

I’ve been using the Wordpress app for years. The flow to add new pictures to a new post is broken on the iPhone SE v1; after creating a new post and giving it a title, I click the “+” sign to add a new picture. Rather than coming up with the “what would you like to add” flyover, it instead shows a blank screen. The only workaround I’ve found is to save the post as a draft, open the draft, and then click the “+” sign in the bottom left before typing any words. It’s also buggy to edit a different paragraph. Please fix!

Downloaded the app since an injury keeps me from comfortably using my laptop. Embedded widgets wouldn't work, and every time I tried to go to the settings page that popped up the app wouldn’t open anything. My app drafts would not sync to my browser draft at all and I lost two days of writing from the browser draft overriding my app one. I deleted the app, it was an absolute waste of time.

At the risk of being attacked, I’d like to say that I don’t appreciate the app logo being turned into a rainbow for pride. While it is great for some, it goes against religious/personal beliefs of others. If you’d like to show your support, please make it where app users can opt in rather than force everyone to have a rainbow. Forcing the issue is just as insensitive and offensive as doing the opposite. Rather than automatically updating the app face, again, just let people choose for themselves. I’m quite disappointed that, for a platform that is designed to be personalized to suit and encompass a person, this isn’t customizable in this regard. This is a big issue right now. Please be more aware that without giving options, we are recreating the same problems with a different spotlight on it. I hope you read and take this into consideration. 🕊

changed their App logo to promote a political agenda. Deleted the App. Canceled my Wordpress service

I’m not interested in having your personal bedroom choices displayed on my phone screen. Get rid of it it!

If you want a custom rainbow icon, then provide the option to select it. Don’t force it on people. Deleting this app never to be reinstalled.

Ability to change the icon or not, too much corporate virtue signaling in the world as is. No desire for more here. Bad call.

I love the app, but as of right now I cannot use it because the custom HTML is not supported on the app. Any plans on having this available on the app? Thanks.

Why does my app have to be a rainbow now? This has nothing to do with me or my business.

Love the idea of using the app to write my blog, but it’s very, very glitchy. I posted and then went back to edit some things and I’m in edit mode and it quit letting me actually edit halfway through and now I can’t make changes. I’ve closed it out and restarted it and nothing. Annoying.

I don’t need it.

Not gonna give a good rating to an app that went rainbow.

Where heck is theme editing option?

For the past month word press hasn’t allowed me to publish my blogs, let alone even save them as a draft. Everything fails to load, and it’s frustrating and annoying.

Doesn’t work. Awful app.

Why? This wasn’t broken. The ability to to just select a photo in iOS and to make a quick post made the app feel and work just like Twitter without the hassle. Now you have to open the app and do “Wordpress” stuff to post….come on man.

I can’t change my profile picture on the app or website. Y’all broke something. Please fix it.

What is going on developers?? Most of my audience doesn't see my posts? Other bloggers have had previously approved comments put into pending approval. The number of likes are down.. And it's not because people are out instead of sitting at the computer. This most recent update has really messed up the system. So discouraged!

I’m on WP for about 4 years now. It takes a lot of work to build a system and well into that process I discovered WP lost my footnotes in many pages. Of course they can’t fix what they break because WP.com is a “managed” environment which means someone is screwing with your site and you don’t know it. I’ve had them break fonts which again I have to hunt thru my system to fix everything. The help desk is good to help you build your desired design but after that your screwed. Again (now May 2021) I just discover my pages, some many months old, are missing embedded images. I’ve contacted their help desk 3 times. - no answer. I’ll have to go thru my whole system to find what broke. I’m proofing another page at the time of this writing and now it has cross linked footnotes from other pages. The last WP iOS app lost its Add button to add posts and pages! The ability to contact the help desk thru that interface is also missing. Bottom line WP is extremely proprietary and you cannot export your content to another platform at all from WP.com. If you are serious about your website consider very carefully whether you want to do business with WP. It’s a huge risk.

I always have the hardest time uploading photos from my phone to the mobile app. Less then half the time it works. All websites are mostly are photos and words , this needs to be fixed

I really enjoy the interface of Wordpress and have used it as my blogging platform for years. During that time, I've noticed an increase in what seem to be 'bot' profiles and activity. Over half the likes on a recent post of mine seem to be fake profiles... they don't even bother to change the photos! I would much prefer 0-3 comments or 'likes' from actual humans as opposed to a dozen bot reactions.

If you want a great website with a dynamic blogging feature, look no further. Wordpress is your platform! Sign up today!

It’d great to see what day (ex Wed) in the weekly widget

Having an issue with creating an account. It request a email to send a link to in order to login. Keeps saying the link is expired.

Update April 2021. These days, I only use this app to upload photos to my self-hosted WP site from my phone. But it makes my site unavailable. The hosting service pulled the logs and the app opens so many connections that the server thinks it’s a DOS attack and blocks my IP address! I’ve gone to uploading just one photo at a time, but sometimes it still looks like an attack to the server! So frustrating! I deleted two old "local" drafts from the app and the app also deleted the more recent published versions!! Gone! Several hours of unrecoverable work lost forever. Super unhappy. Update, Jan. 2018. This app also has issues synchronizing properly. I edit an existing draft at work on a browser, later open my iPad app at home, write more, then notice that my "at work" writings were missing and are now—unfortunately—overwritten and lost since the draft saved from the app. It seems the app assumes whatever version of a draft it has in still memory is current—BAD ASSUMPTION! Proper synchronization is major issue with this app. I'd recommend only editing from a browser and not using this app. I think I may just delete it off my iPad, it causes more headaches than it solves.

Please bring ALL of the functionality for the block editor to the iPad app or restore the classic editor. It is not possible to take a paragraph (text) and convert it to a header. However, you can do that in Safari. Also, where is the block type “classic”? Answer: it is missing from the app. Fixing the app or restoring the classic will result in 5 stars. Thanks!

Wordpress finally pulled the trigger and did away with the classic editor. I absolutely, positively HATE the block editor. So much, I refuse to use it. We should be given a choice to which one we want to use. Looking for a new blog site because I’m done with this site..bye-bye.

No way to update phone number from mobile app. No way to change 2FA settings from mobile app. Can’t login on web browser, even though I’m logged in on mobile app.

My only criticism is that it’s very difficult to change the font color. If I click on the general color I want (i.e. click on red in the bottom strip so I can choose a specific shade of red in the larger box above), the tool immediately closes without letting me make the more specific choice. I have to highlight the word and open the tool all over again.

All of sudden Jetpack is throwing out errors and my blogs won’t post...I don’t want to pay them! I assume the beating will continue until the morale improves.

This app was working perfectly fine until yesterday. Now the app does not upload posts. It’s extremely frustrating. Please update this glitch!’

Ok so I’m new on the app but let me just say I love it, at first I was like what am I doing feeling a little frustrated, but it helped me to remember my college day courses of building my own website. I also like that I have freedom to write how I feel express myself freely and just knowing that there is a community out there that’s like me that’s amazing. Wordpress is not expensive and I hope in due time I will be able to start generating some value from from my website. The most important the tips that other bloggers share to be better at your craft are great and very helpful please take advantage if this is the path your trying to take.

I’d like to be able to write again on Wordpress without the very buggy block editor. But I can only do that by paying for a business plan to get the classic editor plugin. Please make this plugin free because I’m kinda not inclined to pay for the terrible job Wordpress did coding Guttenberg. Is management listening to people complain about the block editor? Or do you want everyone to stop using your platform ? There have been complaints for 2 years now and nobody in management seems to care.

The app is good, but after each update it seems like the Wordpress icon disappears from the iPhone photos app share sheet (what slides up from the bottom when you tap the share icon on a photo). Creating a post from a photo is much easier from this sheet than from the app itself, so please fix this behavior. Thanks!

It was great being able to work on my sites anywhere until it wasn’t. Stopped functioning. Nothing would publish to any of my sites. Couldn’t get it to work again. 😿

If all you are doing is blogging, writing to convey information, adding an illustration or two, and not trying to make every page a heavy mess, the block editor grabs complication from the jaws of simplicity. In an effort to make WordPress more than some people need, they are leaving some of us behind. You are forgetting your roots and if you continue down this road you are going to turn long-time fans off. How about giving us choices?

I like the app but believe it could use a few tweaks. The main issue being the app and regular browser edition of Wordpress seem to not communicate with each other. There have been several instances where I would start or edit a blog post on one platform, save it and/or publish it, and the other platform wouldn’t reflect the edits. I would then have to redo whatever edits I made. Other than that, the WP app is pretty good overall.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but the app is unresponsive when I go to the Pages section, and am unable to select and edit pages.

The app is primitive and awful. Pages and posts that I create using the desktop shows an error message saying that it is not compatible. The desktop is awfully slow. I have a fast internet connection and my device is pretty much new. When I load a page, a lot of time it get stuck. The software is full of bugs. It acts erratic with no explanation. It erases my codes. I have paid for premium, but spend hours every day trying to figure out what is wrong. The customer service is polite. The fact remains that their system has lots of glitches that they will need to fix. I am not happy.

I love the look and the feel of the app, but some of the functions I use like You tube links and the slide view images were not available. Even if I loaded the slide view images on the internet, the app removed them if I made an update on the app. The YouTube links showed not supported, but at least the app didn’t remove it. Liked the app a lot but found that frustrating.

The oblivious response from the developer does not make Wordpress any less psychopathic bullies. In fact, it just makes me loathe Wordpress. Time to export my blogs and delete my accounts forever. I am constantly floored at the number of companies which completely get away with crapping on their customers. And the number of customers who worship them for it. Also, the developer response completely ignores the LIES LIES LIES in the update description. The update description describes the current update as THE LAST UPDATE THAT SUPPORTS iOS12. Wordpress are either psychopathic liars, or so incompetent they never should have found success, even accidentally. You LIED to your customers and somehow this is MY fault? I’ll add Wordpress to the list of companies I hope to see go bankrupt for their psychopathy and sociopathy. I’ll admit, this one took me completely by surprise. I had no idea Wordpress was run by psychopaths, sociopaths, tyrants and bullies. Though I’m not at all surprised. Companies who only care about SOME of their customers, but discriminate against their poorer customers don’t deserve success. I despise living in a world which worships psychopaths, bullies, and tyrants and allows overt discrimination like this to continue. Everybody CLAIMS to care about the poor and disabled, until it comes to not trying to bully the poor into buying hardware they neither need nor want, and can not afford. Elitist houres. *** The update says this is the last version that will support ios12 but when I try to download the update, it says 13 required. It’s disgusting enough when the phone company tries to bully me into a new phone when my old one still works perfectly fine, but it’s even worse — and completely baffling — that app makers would also try to bully me into having to buy a new, overpriced phone that has none of the features I want, and all the features I don’t want. To hades with you all. I’d rather live in a cave than be bullied by you tyrants.

We have been using word press for our blog for years now, but this app has been having the same issues for at least 2 years now. Every single day we post the app will double post our blog posts. To our website, Facebook, and Twitter. So then I have to go through and delete the duplicate posts on all the platforms. There have even been times that the app posts 3 and 4 times. This has been very frustrating that this hasn’t been fixed for 2 years.

B E ST app! Follow for follow Instagram.com/saintbaker

For web devs Whether you’re going for a career, quick task, whatever, even if you’re bored like me and just need something to do. Wordpress gets your foot in the door. It’s a big world, it doesn’t feel so much using Wordpress Thanks guys and gals! And ai :)

If I share a link to my Wordpress, that doesn’t mean it’s ready to publish, but I would still like to save it as a draft for further editing. (Also it would be nice for the in-app editor to support custom fields.)

I’m no longer able to login with a username and password and cannot connect my self - hosted site.

Recently the app started timing out every time I try to load a photo for a blog post. It still works on my laptop but since my photos are more accessible on my phone, I would rather use the app. Without that functionality, the app is basically useless for me.

I was primarily using the desktop to write my blog, but would open the app occasionally to look at stats. This appears to send WP functionality into a tizzy. Twice I’ve found that it does things that I didn’t initiate, like posting my blog! I was VERY careful not to do so, so I know it wasn’t a matter of a mis-clicked button. Safest thing is just to get rid of the app.

I was excited about being able to edit and manage my website remotely but the Wordpress app doesn’t even let me login! It continually comes up with a connection error. I’m so frustrated...why can’t they make an app that just works!

It works on my iphone, but for some reason when attempting use on tablets it doesn’t work. Had the same issue with tablet version on my old android tablet as well. Really disappointing and uninstalling immediately.

Had to do a fresh install on my iPhone 11. Downloaded the app and I just go round and round trying to log in. Have to log out to log in. Check email for link that is always expired. Done these for three straight days. Deleting app and reinstalling, turning phone off and restarting. Nothing works. So frustrated that this is not a user friendly app to install and log in. Ughhhhhh. I am so done with trying.

The widget keeps telling me to sign in. I’ve signed out and signed back in am still seeing the same issues. Pretty disappointing.

Unable to upload products. Scrolling down accidentally closes the the page you are working on. No draft save option. No undo option if you have updated. You cannot go back. I shifted from wix to Wordpress but so far hating it

The block editor is awful. I have lost so much control over how my post looks. I have already started working on a Square Space site.

On my laptop and phone easy to use!

I was researching a rental and it said I had to download this app. So I did. And I looked up the website to the rental I was trying to research and it said that that company hasn’t posted in a while and there was nothing to see. Super frustrating and a big waste of my time 😡😤

I love this app! Super useful. I really enjoy the new updates and features. I would definitely use this and will recommend it to friends. It is possibly the easiest and most convenient way to make a website. However, I do think that some improvements could be made. For example, I often get unwanted suggestions and remarks that are not necessary. Also, when I go onto my site, the recent changes that I have made don’t appear. I do refresh the page, but find it doesn’t show up until the next day. This was a huge problem, especially, when I posted a link that led nowhere. When I tried to update it, it didn’t show up until the next day. Please check this out, and if you can, update the site more often! Love the new changes, and overall think this app deserves a 4 star review.

I like the app which is rare for me, I use the desktop version and the app for different things but they are both useful and work!

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!

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.

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.

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.
