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

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

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.

Unable to publish. App works poorly.

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 review is not about the app in whatever state is happens to be in at the moment, which is certain to change in a week or two. It is about the atrocious product management of this app, which prioritizes changing it as rapidly as possible over keeping it stable and reliable. Every single time I try to write something using the Wordpress app in iOS, some bug or usability error in the interface distracts me from what I am trying to write. Wordpress has been one of my core thinking tools for over a decade, but in the last two or three years it has totally fallen apart as a product. It now prevents me from thinking if I’m foolish enough to try to use it.

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.

Is a great app you all need to check it out

Does not function at all, what the heck is going on!

I have lost good work again, DASHBOARD? TRASH? My page is gray and simply not simple! There is no ‘help.’

It refuses to allow me to sign in regardless of the method. Tells me my passsword is incorrect, when it isn’t, or it tells me that I accessed the login email from my desktop and not the iPad.......

I spent an hour writing a post, only to find that it “failed to upload.” My first clue should have been when uploading a simple photo to my post also “failed to upload.” I was excited about using this app with my new iPad. That excitement is now disappointment. I tried “save as draft” — won’t work. I finally had to cut and paste and go to a different platform. Please don’t even bother responding to this review, as I am deleting this app and will never use it again.

Thank you for the recent updates!!! I actually think it’s easier to use than the website- which is great but I hope the website also gets better and Wordpress doesn’t become an app only thing...for longer posts I love to use my laptop and the web version because it easier to type a long post, but right now id rather type it on a google doc or something and copy and paste on my phone using the app. It’s very user friendly and the interface has been updated so much- it’s finally worthy of using and enjoying it. Before, the app looked so outdated and had limited capabilities- it’s finally been updated so you can virtually do anything you can online using your phone. I had some trouble uploading images but I believe this was an issue with a plugin and it was fixed. Sometimes the publish button doesn’t work properly and I have to save as a draft and go to my computer to publish, but I’m confident that has been fixed with the newest update (just downloaded so fingers crossed). Thank you sooo much for finally giving the app the attention it deserves!! Especially for the many creatives who use Wordpress, it’s important to be able to create and update our pages and posts on the go when we are inspired. So many times I have ideas that get written down in my phone notes and they never get turned into posts like i planned to- now I can open it up and make sure it gets done the minute I’m inspired. Thanks again!

I love Wordpress and I’ve used it every week for almost five years. However, the app is abysmal. It fails to even provide me with the most basic features of a blogging site. It lags. I hate the “blocks” set-up. I have no option to “center” text. One time, it deleted an entire draft I had saved. It’s often glitchy. Avoid using the app at all costs. Wordpress on desktop is far superior.

It has gotten so CONFUSING to try and edit a layout. Not to mention that the layout I chose doesn’t show up correctly on the computer but yet it’s perfect on cellphones. How do I know? I’ve tested my blog on multiple computers and cellphones. I am leaning toward deleting this app and either getting another app, just Justin’s my computer to blog or buying my own site to blog. Why do you have to be so confusing Wordpress???

I kinda agree with everyone else in that there's no features that couldn't have been put on a static HTML page and ported over as a "Mobile App". I mainly use Jetpack now to consolidate all my sites to login quickly back and forth. Also the downtime monitor is nice even though it sends me an alert every 10min, better too much than not at all right. Only thing bugs me is your company Automattic is like a founder or something of Wordpress. your domain is WordPress.com for God sakes. So maybe it would be cool to see you guys/gals on the cutting edge of the WP world. I'm sure anyone in the industry would be more than happy to help you in any sort of way. Make something Amazing please.... If not, I can buy your domain from you for $69 if you want lol JK...

There is no way I could recommend Wordpress as a solid CMS if users can’t even edit their site while away from a computer. I am on the verge of potentially losing a client because I am unable to remove a simple line of text. Yes I installed Jetpack and every time I pressed update, nothing actually updates. Unbelievable that we are in 2020 and Wordpress can’t even get their software up to speed. Disappointed!

The app keeps shutting down

Hello! Is there a way to indent bullet lists items? Can’t seem to find that option when creating a new list. Existing lists that I have created for a posts on the desktop gets messed up when I start to edit it on the app. Otherwise, great job guys!

I really liked this app for my iPad Pro when I got it, but now, with my third generation iPad Pro, it is crashing constantly. I add pictures to my blog, and it either takes forever to load, or it doesn’t load them at all, or it loads them, and they disappear when the blog is published. I keep hoping for an upgrade that will fix these glitches, but not yet.

I have tried to create and account using sign in with apple and I always get prompted for a password.

What’s with the ‘local changes’ note on some posts? How do you tell what has been committed and what hasn’t? Why doesn’t it update the post? Especially in a supposedly scheduled post. This bug just caused a post to go live at the wrong time. This is an app that one can not rely on.

I started using Wordpress on June 29, 2019 and have found it to be the best after trying two other blogging platforms. I have found the best and no need to look at the rest — Tangie T. Woods

No matter what I do, I my photo uploads FAIL every time I create a post. Despite the rest of the app working, the fact that I am unable to upload photos to my blog post makes this app completely useless to me. The best I’m able to use it is to create the post and save as a draft and then log into my desktop later to add the photos and publish, which is a huge pain. If someone could post the solution to this, I will gladly update the rating to five star. Until then, this app is worthless to me.

Love the app but lately it crashes all the time, very frustrating!

Any Wordpress site I login to through the app, immediately can no longer be accessed and will not load in browser, goes into a redirect loop. Glad I keep frequent backups.

Downloaded this because I have long commutes and figured I might as well be productive and work on some posts. At first glance, this app seems to have all the features of the web version. however, once you begin to use it you’ll find it’s very glitchy, with the keyboard jolting up and down, buttons becoming unpressable, the scroll zooming to different parts of the page, and even deleting paragraph blocks! I lost an entire 1000 words for no reason but I was able to recover it in the history. I have an iPhone 6, but I’ve never experienced glitches like this on other apps so I wouldn’t chalk it up to that. Also, it absolutely kills the battery life. Don’t open the app on 20% because you’ll only have a few minutes. I haven’t tried wordpress on safari but it might be better than this; I’ll have to see. however, the app is functional if you’re doing nothing for a long period of time and don’t have access to a computer. Use at your own risk!

App crashes every other time I use it. It would be great aside from that! It makes writing posts on my iPad extremely easy and functional. Just wish the crashing would stop!

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.

Not very good. Super glitchy. Stuff doesn’t show up meaning if I’ve scheduled something it takes for ever to show up.

Bangla nice

I can barely use this to make the updates I need to make and when I hit update the app crashes anyway so...

Gets in to a mode where it fails to update a post and will then crash on every attempt until the app is deleted and restored. The new editor cannot view posts with either the old mobile editor or the desktop. Fails to recognize certain basic edits created on the desktop version. You can first create a paragraph on the mobile app and then edit it but don’t try creating paragraphs in the reverse order.

The app crashes when it updates a post

Lately, it keep crashing and won't let me update or write the blog! Love it, really user friendly, can create as many blogs for free & not many ads!

Para mim o melhor local para ter um Blog. Consigo fazer meus textos e postar sem dificuldades, além de toda assistência na criação com várias opções gratuitas.

Can’t even log in to the app. Sent a “log in link” to my email. Email states that the link logs me directly into the app. All it does it take me to the wordpress website to log in. Logging in through there does nothing for the app. Signing in by password instead prompts a verification code to be sent via text. No codes are sent, even after clicking the resend button COUNTLESS times. Restarted the app. Tried to log in by password once again, now it’s saying incorrect password. Password is not incorrect and works on the website. I reset my password. Still says incorrect when trying to sign in on the app. Deleting and never re-installing. Cancelling all of my subscriptions and never recommending anyone to use this app.

This crashes every time you click the media button. Every single time on all of my sites.

How the heck do I add widgets?

App is perfect to manage your WP website, just couple of issues which I am sure Devs can fix easily. 1- When a contributor log in to app the app show Publish button as well which is not possible for a contributor to publish, they can only save as a draft, so now I have to tell each of my contributors to not press publish (because when they do app show an error failed to publish, and no reason) and I have to guild them through how to Save. 2- Same when a contributor logs in and goes to pages the app keep on saying fetching pages. Please fix these issues and this app will be perfect 😊 thanks

I have been running my blog everythingsotay.com from Wordpress for a year and I never had a problem with it!

Please, I beg you fix the issues with ipad version of Wordress. I prefer to write my blogs in cafes and I am not wiling to carry a laptop with me so I carry around my ipad with an attached keyboard to do all the typing. I have been unable to use it properly because I have 8 websites shown of which 1 is duplicated but long time deleted and the other 2 have been cloned. Sometimes I type something up and it won’t sync or post and then I just may forget where the draft was kept and it creates a mess. Please, just fix this already.

Used to work great. Could write posts on the go. But now it doesn’t read my website. Not sure what happened. Update: downloaded the jetpack plugin and it fixed the problem. Working good now.

I was misinformed about this app needing Jetpack to function — thus I am updating my review. What threw me initially was my impatience the first time I launched the app — it took a long time for my posts (ten years worth) to show up. So be patient. This makes editing my site while away from my office much easier. Recommended!

I’ve been using the Wordpress app to run my blogs for 3 years now while out and about without access to a computer. My only complaint would be how hard it was to find the “customizer” feature on the app.

Just got a new iPad Pro and couldn’t wait to start editing my site on this beast. Went to one of my pages with image galleries...Visual Mode only shows paper clip icons. Nothing like editing a website blindfolded. Found a workaround: checked out Wordpress on safari from the same iPad and you can actually see live previews as you edit (like I’m used to on the Mac wp app). So, this just boils down to lazy app development. Don’t waste your time on this one, folks. 👎👎

Oh god now these kind of posts are disappearing from reader's feed as well. As if making them unviewable on the app is not bad enough. Really, Wordpress?

And that’s all I have to say about that.

I have been trying to start a blog and it’s as if it doesn’t want to recognize actions. It’s glitchy now, when it wasn’t. It freezes, restarts and at times doesn’t want to even update my own page.

This app is not uploading any of my photos from my phone, plus it deletes my progress on writing even though I save as a draft and update the draft. It is completely useless if I can't write a blog on my phone without it deleting my words and won't let me upload photos from my phone. How is this not functioning? It's 2020 and it can't even upload photos and I'm tired of losing everything I wrote. It also doesn't have an option to auto-save either. Ridiculous.

This app is so limited, I can’t control any of the parts of my website I need to through this app therefore the app is pointless.

I’ve had the Wordpress app for *years* starting back when the 1st ipad was a hot new item. Today I’ve deleted the app. And while my star score for it has been declining it’s now a 1-star and I’d give less if I could. It’s fancier now than it was, but it’s all but useless. The block editor is distracting and confusing. I haven’t the slightest idea what it does to shortcodes but if I want to use them I have to go to the site instead. It’s lost functionality over time and got nothing to make up for that. I’m done. I’m sorry, sincerely, to the devs whose feelings this may have hurt. I’m sure you work hard, but maybe take a step back to the early days of this app, see what it could do, then look at it now. It’s very pretty but it’s just not the same in some very irksome ways. I wish you the best but I’ll just deal with SMS 2SA & browser editing. Thanks for the ride, it’s been weird

The update is not user friendly at all. I can not find basic functions that I could do before, making it difficult to write. Way more complicated than it needs to be. Miss the old version!

For self-hosted sites not using JetPack this app can be frustrating. Published posts never move from drafts to posts in the app.

Won’t load pictures, won’t save my drafts. I can no longer blog using my phone.

After writing several sentences in a text box, if one taps update some of the text will always disappear and be replaced with an UNDEFINED phrase instead. Please fix this glitch or make the ussr exactly aware of what is happening, because it’s very frustrating to write everything again even though one has just saved by updating. Thanks

I used to love this app and to use it for blog writing all the time. But with the last version (and today’s new updated version) as soon as I start writing a new post in the app, the connection to the sever is lost and I can’t upload media or the post unless I reconnect through a VPN. And this connection breakdown will last for maybe a few hours before I can access my blog (using web browser or use the built-in view site function in the app) again without a VPN. But if I try to write new post again in the app, I immediately lose connection to the blog again and have to use a VPN.

I loved Wordpress.com so much. I went to start a new blog only to realize they stripped everything I loved about it and put it behind a pay wall. Now I don’t know which site to choose to host my new blog :( but it won’t be the confusing mess Wordpress.com has become.

A few years in, still love Wordpress. They make it better all the time. Now that I have a little bit of a hang of how Wordpress works, I'm in love. Thanks for asking. One year later, I'm still in love. Still in love with this app.

When the content the user adds on the website, doesn’t match the content added to the app...that’s a fail. When iOS is not supported on the app, that’s a fail. iOS and Wordpress are not new...developers should have a handle on that by now. Not user friendly, it just doesn’t work.

I can no longer post to my website. Each time I save a draft I get an error. Used to be great but now, can't do much of anything.

Love this easy-to-use blog spot!

This app works pretty well, and is easy to use. Only problem I’ve noticed is when you’re typing a draft blog post in dark mode, you can’t see the text you’re writing until you turn off dark mode. Please fix! Update: Thanks for the developer response. To help you reproduce this (still happens on the latest version) - here is what you do: 1. Switch to dark mode. Start writing a new post in the WordPress app. Classic editor. 2. Go to your photos library and copy a photo. 3. Switch back to the WordPress app and paste the photo in. 4. Now start typing text below the photo and watch as you can’t see what you’re typing.

Wrote a blog post, clicked “save to draft”, app hung up and I lost everything I typed

I highly recommend this app it so lovely and have helped me a lot

Upgraded last week to 4.1 and have experienced problems sharing content and posts, and logging into my WordPress site. Wish I could revert back to previous version.

STILL can't reply to comments from app since last upgrade. Comments show up as notifications instead of comments. Really wish Wordpress would do QC before making changes!

I’m a long time WordPress.com user. Love using it to build my websites and the iOS app is awesome! BUT the app is missing one pretty BIG feature... the ability to login with more than one (multiple) WordPress.com accounts and easily switch between them; much like the feature most social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, etc have. I would love to see this feature added to the iOS app as it’s long over due!

It’s not the most intuitive, but they make lots of new changes and upgrades. Still not a master of using it, but I enjoy it.

Can’t seem to publish or update posts anymore. Says device is offline, when it’s clearly not. Pretty useless at this point.

In general i dont like apps. It’s the icon god to a program. But forced into some things. I’d prefer if all companies took their time, made sure all changes through apps to iPads to software updates to those were all compatible. Why make tiny update to things to accidentally leave something off every few weeks? Then have to have a million bug fixes? So for ipad I cannot see some of my pics to edit them. But can see on the post. And i have looked at all things to turn off and on. I no longer have ability as of few months ago to edit or add other features. Like main picture. Add to my headings pages etc. They no longer exist in any menu?? In new blog or edit blog. The page itself has were these categories exist but now while creating or editing a blog. I am using a free version though. Oddly to get the “visual” view to show I also ave to turn it to http to force it to flip to visual by clicking it back. If I dont do that toggle off and on, all is shaded. It’s not a choice. It’s just gray until I got back and forth to get it to be not gray?? Thats dumb.

Think wordpress app is free but when it comes to creating a website, we may have to pay for our domain name through wordpress and its just for-profit! We don’t want ads!

The new block feature was not only unwanted but is stupid for my blog. Hate it. Hate it hate it

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”.

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

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

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.

Unable to publish. App works poorly.

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 review is not about the app in whatever state is happens to be in at the moment, which is certain to change in a week or two. It is about the atrocious product management of this app, which prioritizes changing it as rapidly as possible over keeping it stable and reliable. Every single time I try to write something using the Wordpress app in iOS, some bug or usability error in the interface distracts me from what I am trying to write. Wordpress has been one of my core thinking tools for over a decade, but in the last two or three years it has totally fallen apart as a product. It now prevents me from thinking if I’m foolish enough to try to use it.

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.

Is a great app you all need to check it out

Does not function at all, what the heck is going on!

I have lost good work again, DASHBOARD? TRASH? My page is gray and simply not simple! There is no ‘help.’

It refuses to allow me to sign in regardless of the method. Tells me my passsword is incorrect, when it isn’t, or it tells me that I accessed the login email from my desktop and not the iPad.......

I spent an hour writing a post, only to find that it “failed to upload.” My first clue should have been when uploading a simple photo to my post also “failed to upload.” I was excited about using this app with my new iPad. That excitement is now disappointment. I tried “save as draft” — won’t work. I finally had to cut and paste and go to a different platform. Please don’t even bother responding to this review, as I am deleting this app and will never use it again.

Thank you for the recent updates!!! I actually think it’s easier to use than the website- which is great but I hope the website also gets better and Wordpress doesn’t become an app only thing...for longer posts I love to use my laptop and the web version because it easier to type a long post, but right now id rather type it on a google doc or something and copy and paste on my phone using the app. It’s very user friendly and the interface has been updated so much- it’s finally worthy of using and enjoying it. Before, the app looked so outdated and had limited capabilities- it’s finally been updated so you can virtually do anything you can online using your phone. I had some trouble uploading images but I believe this was an issue with a plugin and it was fixed. Sometimes the publish button doesn’t work properly and I have to save as a draft and go to my computer to publish, but I’m confident that has been fixed with the newest update (just downloaded so fingers crossed). Thank you sooo much for finally giving the app the attention it deserves!! Especially for the many creatives who use Wordpress, it’s important to be able to create and update our pages and posts on the go when we are inspired. So many times I have ideas that get written down in my phone notes and they never get turned into posts like i planned to- now I can open it up and make sure it gets done the minute I’m inspired. Thanks again!

I love Wordpress and I’ve used it every week for almost five years. However, the app is abysmal. It fails to even provide me with the most basic features of a blogging site. It lags. I hate the “blocks” set-up. I have no option to “center” text. One time, it deleted an entire draft I had saved. It’s often glitchy. Avoid using the app at all costs. Wordpress on desktop is far superior.

It has gotten so CONFUSING to try and edit a layout. Not to mention that the layout I chose doesn’t show up correctly on the computer but yet it’s perfect on cellphones. How do I know? I’ve tested my blog on multiple computers and cellphones. I am leaning toward deleting this app and either getting another app, just Justin’s my computer to blog or buying my own site to blog. Why do you have to be so confusing Wordpress???

I kinda agree with everyone else in that there's no features that couldn't have been put on a static HTML page and ported over as a "Mobile App". I mainly use Jetpack now to consolidate all my sites to login quickly back and forth. Also the downtime monitor is nice even though it sends me an alert every 10min, better too much than not at all right. Only thing bugs me is your company Automattic is like a founder or something of Wordpress. your domain is WordPress.com for God sakes. So maybe it would be cool to see you guys/gals on the cutting edge of the WP world. I'm sure anyone in the industry would be more than happy to help you in any sort of way. Make something Amazing please.... If not, I can buy your domain from you for $69 if you want lol JK...

There is no way I could recommend Wordpress as a solid CMS if users can’t even edit their site while away from a computer. I am on the verge of potentially losing a client because I am unable to remove a simple line of text. Yes I installed Jetpack and every time I pressed update, nothing actually updates. Unbelievable that we are in 2020 and Wordpress can’t even get their software up to speed. Disappointed!

The app keeps shutting down

Hello! Is there a way to indent bullet lists items? Can’t seem to find that option when creating a new list. Existing lists that I have created for a posts on the desktop gets messed up when I start to edit it on the app. Otherwise, great job guys!

I really liked this app for my iPad Pro when I got it, but now, with my third generation iPad Pro, it is crashing constantly. I add pictures to my blog, and it either takes forever to load, or it doesn’t load them at all, or it loads them, and they disappear when the blog is published. I keep hoping for an upgrade that will fix these glitches, but not yet.

I have tried to create and account using sign in with apple and I always get prompted for a password.

What’s with the ‘local changes’ note on some posts? How do you tell what has been committed and what hasn’t? Why doesn’t it update the post? Especially in a supposedly scheduled post. This bug just caused a post to go live at the wrong time. This is an app that one can not rely on.

I started using Wordpress on June 29, 2019 and have found it to be the best after trying two other blogging platforms. I have found the best and no need to look at the rest — Tangie T. Woods

No matter what I do, I my photo uploads FAIL every time I create a post. Despite the rest of the app working, the fact that I am unable to upload photos to my blog post makes this app completely useless to me. The best I’m able to use it is to create the post and save as a draft and then log into my desktop later to add the photos and publish, which is a huge pain. If someone could post the solution to this, I will gladly update the rating to five star. Until then, this app is worthless to me.

Love the app but lately it crashes all the time, very frustrating!

Any Wordpress site I login to through the app, immediately can no longer be accessed and will not load in browser, goes into a redirect loop. Glad I keep frequent backups.

Downloaded this because I have long commutes and figured I might as well be productive and work on some posts. At first glance, this app seems to have all the features of the web version. however, once you begin to use it you’ll find it’s very glitchy, with the keyboard jolting up and down, buttons becoming unpressable, the scroll zooming to different parts of the page, and even deleting paragraph blocks! I lost an entire 1000 words for no reason but I was able to recover it in the history. I have an iPhone 6, but I’ve never experienced glitches like this on other apps so I wouldn’t chalk it up to that. Also, it absolutely kills the battery life. Don’t open the app on 20% because you’ll only have a few minutes. I haven’t tried wordpress on safari but it might be better than this; I’ll have to see. however, the app is functional if you’re doing nothing for a long period of time and don’t have access to a computer. Use at your own risk!

App crashes every other time I use it. It would be great aside from that! It makes writing posts on my iPad extremely easy and functional. Just wish the crashing would stop!

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.

Not very good. Super glitchy. Stuff doesn’t show up meaning if I’ve scheduled something it takes for ever to show up.

Bangla nice

I can barely use this to make the updates I need to make and when I hit update the app crashes anyway so...

Gets in to a mode where it fails to update a post and will then crash on every attempt until the app is deleted and restored. The new editor cannot view posts with either the old mobile editor or the desktop. Fails to recognize certain basic edits created on the desktop version. You can first create a paragraph on the mobile app and then edit it but don’t try creating paragraphs in the reverse order.

The app crashes when it updates a post

Lately, it keep crashing and won't let me update or write the blog! Love it, really user friendly, can create as many blogs for free & not many ads!

Para mim o melhor local para ter um Blog. Consigo fazer meus textos e postar sem dificuldades, além de toda assistência na criação com várias opções gratuitas.

Can’t even log in to the app. Sent a “log in link” to my email. Email states that the link logs me directly into the app. All it does it take me to the wordpress website to log in. Logging in through there does nothing for the app. Signing in by password instead prompts a verification code to be sent via text. No codes are sent, even after clicking the resend button COUNTLESS times. Restarted the app. Tried to log in by password once again, now it’s saying incorrect password. Password is not incorrect and works on the website. I reset my password. Still says incorrect when trying to sign in on the app. Deleting and never re-installing. Cancelling all of my subscriptions and never recommending anyone to use this app.

This crashes every time you click the media button. Every single time on all of my sites.

How the heck do I add widgets?

App is perfect to manage your WP website, just couple of issues which I am sure Devs can fix easily. 1- When a contributor log in to app the app show Publish button as well which is not possible for a contributor to publish, they can only save as a draft, so now I have to tell each of my contributors to not press publish (because when they do app show an error failed to publish, and no reason) and I have to guild them through how to Save. 2- Same when a contributor logs in and goes to pages the app keep on saying fetching pages. Please fix these issues and this app will be perfect 😊 thanks

I have been running my blog everythingsotay.com from Wordpress for a year and I never had a problem with it!

Please, I beg you fix the issues with ipad version of Wordress. I prefer to write my blogs in cafes and I am not wiling to carry a laptop with me so I carry around my ipad with an attached keyboard to do all the typing. I have been unable to use it properly because I have 8 websites shown of which 1 is duplicated but long time deleted and the other 2 have been cloned. Sometimes I type something up and it won’t sync or post and then I just may forget where the draft was kept and it creates a mess. Please, just fix this already.

Used to work great. Could write posts on the go. But now it doesn’t read my website. Not sure what happened. Update: downloaded the jetpack plugin and it fixed the problem. Working good now.

I was misinformed about this app needing Jetpack to function — thus I am updating my review. What threw me initially was my impatience the first time I launched the app — it took a long time for my posts (ten years worth) to show up. So be patient. This makes editing my site while away from my office much easier. Recommended!

I’ve been using the Wordpress app to run my blogs for 3 years now while out and about without access to a computer. My only complaint would be how hard it was to find the “customizer” feature on the app.

Just got a new iPad Pro and couldn’t wait to start editing my site on this beast. Went to one of my pages with image galleries...Visual Mode only shows paper clip icons. Nothing like editing a website blindfolded. Found a workaround: checked out Wordpress on safari from the same iPad and you can actually see live previews as you edit (like I’m used to on the Mac wp app). So, this just boils down to lazy app development. Don’t waste your time on this one, folks. 👎👎

Oh god now these kind of posts are disappearing from reader's feed as well. As if making them unviewable on the app is not bad enough. Really, Wordpress?

And that’s all I have to say about that.

I have been trying to start a blog and it’s as if it doesn’t want to recognize actions. It’s glitchy now, when it wasn’t. It freezes, restarts and at times doesn’t want to even update my own page.

This app is not uploading any of my photos from my phone, plus it deletes my progress on writing even though I save as a draft and update the draft. It is completely useless if I can't write a blog on my phone without it deleting my words and won't let me upload photos from my phone. How is this not functioning? It's 2020 and it can't even upload photos and I'm tired of losing everything I wrote. It also doesn't have an option to auto-save either. Ridiculous.

This app is so limited, I can’t control any of the parts of my website I need to through this app therefore the app is pointless.

I’ve had the Wordpress app for *years* starting back when the 1st ipad was a hot new item. Today I’ve deleted the app. And while my star score for it has been declining it’s now a 1-star and I’d give less if I could. It’s fancier now than it was, but it’s all but useless. The block editor is distracting and confusing. I haven’t the slightest idea what it does to shortcodes but if I want to use them I have to go to the site instead. It’s lost functionality over time and got nothing to make up for that. I’m done. I’m sorry, sincerely, to the devs whose feelings this may have hurt. I’m sure you work hard, but maybe take a step back to the early days of this app, see what it could do, then look at it now. It’s very pretty but it’s just not the same in some very irksome ways. I wish you the best but I’ll just deal with SMS 2SA & browser editing. Thanks for the ride, it’s been weird

The update is not user friendly at all. I can not find basic functions that I could do before, making it difficult to write. Way more complicated than it needs to be. Miss the old version!

For self-hosted sites not using JetPack this app can be frustrating. Published posts never move from drafts to posts in the app.

Won’t load pictures, won’t save my drafts. I can no longer blog using my phone.

After writing several sentences in a text box, if one taps update some of the text will always disappear and be replaced with an UNDEFINED phrase instead. Please fix this glitch or make the ussr exactly aware of what is happening, because it’s very frustrating to write everything again even though one has just saved by updating. Thanks

I used to love this app and to use it for blog writing all the time. But with the last version (and today’s new updated version) as soon as I start writing a new post in the app, the connection to the sever is lost and I can’t upload media or the post unless I reconnect through a VPN. And this connection breakdown will last for maybe a few hours before I can access my blog (using web browser or use the built-in view site function in the app) again without a VPN. But if I try to write new post again in the app, I immediately lose connection to the blog again and have to use a VPN.

I loved Wordpress.com so much. I went to start a new blog only to realize they stripped everything I loved about it and put it behind a pay wall. Now I don’t know which site to choose to host my new blog :( but it won’t be the confusing mess Wordpress.com has become.

A few years in, still love Wordpress. They make it better all the time. Now that I have a little bit of a hang of how Wordpress works, I'm in love. Thanks for asking. One year later, I'm still in love. Still in love with this app.

When the content the user adds on the website, doesn’t match the content added to the app...that’s a fail. When iOS is not supported on the app, that’s a fail. iOS and Wordpress are not new...developers should have a handle on that by now. Not user friendly, it just doesn’t work.

I can no longer post to my website. Each time I save a draft I get an error. Used to be great but now, can't do much of anything.

Love this easy-to-use blog spot!

This app works pretty well, and is easy to use. Only problem I’ve noticed is when you’re typing a draft blog post in dark mode, you can’t see the text you’re writing until you turn off dark mode. Please fix! Update: Thanks for the developer response. To help you reproduce this (still happens on the latest version) - here is what you do: 1. Switch to dark mode. Start writing a new post in the WordPress app. Classic editor. 2. Go to your photos library and copy a photo. 3. Switch back to the WordPress app and paste the photo in. 4. Now start typing text below the photo and watch as you can’t see what you’re typing.

Wrote a blog post, clicked “save to draft”, app hung up and I lost everything I typed

I highly recommend this app it so lovely and have helped me a lot

Upgraded last week to 4.1 and have experienced problems sharing content and posts, and logging into my WordPress site. Wish I could revert back to previous version.

STILL can't reply to comments from app since last upgrade. Comments show up as notifications instead of comments. Really wish Wordpress would do QC before making changes!

I’m a long time WordPress.com user. Love using it to build my websites and the iOS app is awesome! BUT the app is missing one pretty BIG feature... the ability to login with more than one (multiple) WordPress.com accounts and easily switch between them; much like the feature most social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, etc have. I would love to see this feature added to the iOS app as it’s long over due!

It’s not the most intuitive, but they make lots of new changes and upgrades. Still not a master of using it, but I enjoy it.

Can’t seem to publish or update posts anymore. Says device is offline, when it’s clearly not. Pretty useless at this point.

In general i dont like apps. It’s the icon god to a program. But forced into some things. I’d prefer if all companies took their time, made sure all changes through apps to iPads to software updates to those were all compatible. Why make tiny update to things to accidentally leave something off every few weeks? Then have to have a million bug fixes? So for ipad I cannot see some of my pics to edit them. But can see on the post. And i have looked at all things to turn off and on. I no longer have ability as of few months ago to edit or add other features. Like main picture. Add to my headings pages etc. They no longer exist in any menu?? In new blog or edit blog. The page itself has were these categories exist but now while creating or editing a blog. I am using a free version though. Oddly to get the “visual” view to show I also ave to turn it to http to force it to flip to visual by clicking it back. If I dont do that toggle off and on, all is shaded. It’s not a choice. It’s just gray until I got back and forth to get it to be not gray?? Thats dumb.

Think wordpress app is free but when it comes to creating a website, we may have to pay for our domain name through wordpress and its just for-profit! We don’t want ads!

The new block feature was not only unwanted but is stupid for my blog. Hate it. Hate it hate it
