Wordpress for the iPhone: Not as useful as we’d like

August 26th, 2008 by Ted | Filed under software.

Patrick Cushing wrote a review of the Apple Appstore the other day, and he included some tidbits about his experience using Wordpress’s iPhone RPC client, which allows you to post blog entries and manage a Wordpress blog from your iPhone. Here’s how he summarizes his experience:

As for the WordPress iPhone application — not bad. I don’t think I’ll write many more like this because this has taken forever, but I love that I can if I want to. It’s a bit of a pain without WYSIWYG, and typing HTML on a keyboard is tedious. It just means I would have to keep basic formatting with these posts.

I totally agree with Patrick, particularly on the WYSIWYG point. I didn’t even bother posting as soon as I noticed the editor was HTML, not WYSIWYG.  Anyway, check out the rest of Patrick’s post.
