This is by far my favourite iPhone app so far. It makes blogging on the go so much easier. Download the free app from the App Store, then just input your blog URL and your username and password (you may need to enable XML-RPC services in your blog’s dashboard) and you can browse through your posts, add and edit posts. It will work with any WordPress.com hosted blog, and any self-hosted WordPress blog (2.5.1 or higher) with XML-RPC services enabled. You can also add multiple blogs, which is useful if you manage multiple blogs, or contribute to others. (as I do)

The interface is nice and clean. When you start it you see a WordPress logo, a list of your blogs, an option to add a new blog, and an about button.

When you press a blog, you get a list of your posts (you can choose to show 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 posts), along with buttons to refresh, write new post, and go back to the blog list.

Push the bottom right button to bring up the new post screen, which is pretty self explanatory. Add in title, tags, categories and the post body. What I love about this app is that you don’t need to have an internet connection to use it. You can store drafts locally until you have a connection. You also have the standard statuses from WordPress

Adding pictures from your library is pretty simple, just hit the photos button at the bottom, browse and add.

There are a few problems though. It’s not perfectly stable. My iPhone crashed when I first opened it to write this review. WordPress realise this and are going to make version 1.1 more reliable. Another problem is, you cant view your online drafts, except those created with the app. There is no support for pages, landscape mode or comments (except in the preview, which utilizes Safari to show the full webpage), but WordPress are promising these features in 1.2, but the stability is their number 1 priority at the moment.

EDIT: Just noticed two more problems

1. Picture quality when uploading isn’t great (as you can see above)
2. When editing posts, the app only displays the text from before the more tag, not after.

Hopefully 1.1 will fix these and be released soon.
