WordPress app for iPad issues/feedback
-
Hi WP Staff.
I’m posting as I use my iPad for 90% of my blogging as I don’t have easy access to a PC and my laptop is not powerful enough to deal with photo processing. I love using the app as its just so easy – I can blog anywhere I have wifi and with the fab photo processing apps out there (like snapseed – love it!) I can produce really decent blogs without a big daddy machine.
However there are some issues. The functionality is clearly not as wide reaching as from a computer. I can’t find a way to “set featured image” or upload my recipes which I produce in the app Pages as PDF files (I write a food blog). So I have to wait until I can get a PC, hit “publish” and as fast as it loads up I open “edit post” on the PC, set my featured image from my gallery and add in the recipe in the hopes that no readers have tried to read it before I can upload! It’s a stressful 30 seconds or more!
The next thing is the app has now crashed three times, eating my painstakingly written out posts! This is despite me clicking “save draft” multiple times during the writing process.
The above are issues I am pretty confident I can’t get around using the app to blog with – believe me, I’ve scoured it looking for ways around it! Also, I think I’m right in saying you can’t manipulate the actual photos like you can on a PC. Like you can’t make them centre, left or right justified, you can’t fiddle with the size or even see the gallery to my knowledge.
Is there any chance the iPad app is going to be updated and these issues addressed at all? It’s going to be a long while before I can afford to upgrade to a powerful laptop to cope with the photo post processing (especially seeing as I now have a DSLR camera) programmes I want to use so I have to find a way to get most use out of the app.
Many thanks for any assistance you can be,
Jo x :D
