Autosave and peace of mind while you write
For those of us who are somewhat forgetful, we would appreciate the inclusion of the option to autosave the post while we are writing it, which will be done every 60 seconds, which ensures that we don't lose what we've written for more than a minute, a fairly reasonable margin. This improvement provides to maximise security and your enjoyment. and continuity to the mobile workflow.
Mobile moderation, no shortcuts
We won't have to worry about criticism. You can already edit comments from the app while we are reading them. Comment censorship no longer has limits in Android. In addition, management includes approval, marking as spam and quick response, which optimizes the moderation in mobility.
Images tailored to your content
It is also very remarkable that it can be adjust size of the linked images, so we will not have to limit ourselves to the size or image proportions that we have found on the Internet, but we can customize it to adapt it to our needs. With this, the layout gains consistency and visual imbalances are avoided.
A renewed reader to discover content
A completely renewed reader of the blogs hosted on WordPress.com, which increases the speed navigation through the different posts, allows you to add a comment while we are reading, and even share content that we see with other Android apps. This flow reduces steps and encourages interaction with the posts you follow.
More polished and error-proof interface
Regarding the graphical interface, a few small changes have been made. For example, the button Delete post It no longer appears in such a prominent place as before, but is more hidden, so that editors do not deleted by mistake a post. This setting demonstrates a focus on the usability and the prevention of destructive actions.
Compatibility, technical improvements and download
Finally, some have been made minor improvements, of compatibility, of translation and even of logo, which has undergone a slight modification. WordPress for Android 2.1 can now be downloaded from Google Play. Along with this, they integrate reliability improvements that reduce unexpected closures and ensure support for both WordPress.com as for installations self-catering (starting with the 3.0 branch), so you can publish to multiple sites with a single app.
Before this stable release, there was a phase of open beta focused on validating the comment editor, the autosave, the new reader and the rescaling of linked images. Thanks to this testing period, the final version arrives more polished and ready for the everyday work of creators who publish from their mobile devices.
If you frequently write and manage your site from Android, this release brings together the most impactful improvements to your site. productivity: fluid editing, fine visual control, and agile navigation through the WordPress ecosystem. All this without losing sight of the stability and the small details that make a difference in real use.
