Updated: Only suitable for pretty much most of all the pages and posts
Title: Only suitable for the simplest of pages and posts
This app is another attempt at mimicking a first class app experience for editing wordpress blogs however, despite doing well in a lot of areas, it falls down executing too many tasks. Collecting images from the site is a particular issue, one click on the wrong part of the app and up comes the spining beachball - no feedback on what it’s doing just force-quit as the only option. I’ve left it for 10 mins now collecting the featured image on a post - a 10KB file and it’s still jammed up.
Also need to address the “Cylone” graphic that doesn’t stop!
To its credit, I did update some simple pages and for that it works but, “2-star I don’t like it” for me.
** Update May 8, 2015
I’m downgrading my rating to one-star. I’m constanly failing to update existing posts - when I do I receive a popup “Invalid Term ID” followed by the login challenge. I re-enter my credentials and we go around again.
** Update November 25, 2015
I’ve been ignoring the many updates taking place on the app for the last year but today I had resaon to give it another go… Wow, OK, these guys weren’t idle. They’ve fixed the bugs that stopt me using the app and now the very blog-centric editor starts to really make sense, e.g. selecting a sentance and hitting the heading button selects a heading appropriate for the level. That’s thoughtfull. The killer feature is the live preview though - OK, it can’t be 100% in all cases but in most, it’s more than enough. I’m going to start using this fo my regular work and see how we get on.
