  In iOS 5, the stats, Your Stuff, and What’s Hot sections are not loading. No matter how many times I refresh the page or how long I wait, those three sections just say “Loading…”

  The Dashboard is not yet optimized for mobile browsers and touch interfaces.

  Have you considered using our app?

  It’s not a mobile optimization problem. It worked fine on my iPhone until just a few days ago, a couple weeks after I updated to iOS 5.

  I haven’t used the WordPress app in a while, but I didn’t think I could view all of that Dashboard content in the app.

  Just checked, and the stats are there, but the other content is not.

  Also, I have never been able to figure out how to delete local drafts in the app.

  You can delete drafts from the Posts section of the app.

  I’m not having any trouble navigating my Dashboard with iOS 5 (minus the usual quirks). Have you tried clearing Safari’s cookies and cache? This can be done from Settings -> Safari.

  macmanx: Thanks a lot! Clearing the cookies and cache did the trick.

  As for deleting drafts, I finally just figured it out. It’s totally NOT intuitive, but you have to swipe right to left and then the delete button shows up. It would be nice if the app followed the convention that so many other apps use, where there’s an Edit button at the top that allows you to select all the items you want to delete.
