jumping on the subscription bandwagon

Why not leave the old version as it was, and bring out a new subscription version with all the new fancy features? That would be a little more straight up.

Goodbye Blogo

OLDER REVIEW

I’ll leave the old review down below. I’ve had this since it came out and after each update I will try it out, but have to say it basically has almost no functionality aside from just making a quick word post. Otherwise, sorting, viewing, editing, everything is cumbersome, non-existent or just doesn’t work (with warning errors that don’t make sense). I know the developers are working on it, but I can’t say I would recommend this...

OLDEST REVIEW

I read all the reviews and despite all the warnings that it’s beta went ahead and made the purchase. It is a good start, they’ve put in good effort and attention to detail. It’s going to need a lot of work, and I really hope it will develop.

Most frustrating, is the lack of functions within the app. Basic things like choosing from pre-existing categories that you always post with or other simple fields that modify posts, none of these exist. I keep going back and back to this app hoping that it can provide a fast way of updating sites, but I find it too questionable that I never know what I’m going to get and it doesn’t handle things correctly (text formatting, video embeds, categories, etc).

What is good : the strong point is posting. You can write and post really quickly, just like editing a text document.

Other smaller issues : lack ability to filter and sort content. It’s hard to see clearly what is in your blog. This could be such an awesome app if it offered good ways to really interact with the posts and pages inside of a WP blog. Instead, right now Pages and Posts are just all clumped together in an unhelpful way and you can’t even adjust the width of the post title column to read the complete titles to find what you are looking for. I was really hoping for the ability to make some quick modifications and edits which can be so cumbersome in WP.

I haven’t found the major speed problems that others mentioned, so maybe the update helped improve those issues.
