Blogwriter experiment

The latest version of the WordPress app for iPhone hit the app store today, and I eagerly downloaded it, expecting that the bugs I commented on recently would have been fixed. Well, they may have been, but since the app no longer works at all it’s hard to say. The app won’t let me log in and just spins endlessly. Damn shame. Anyway, I’m trying out a free app called BlogWriter Lite, which seems to be functioning properly, although it would be nice if the text-edit area scrolled to keep up with my typing, rather than making me pause to move the text up. And the lack of landscape mode is a pain too.

Update: after reinstalling WordPress and restarting my iPhone a couple of times it’s now let me into my blog. I hope this keeps up.

Update 2:Nope, the WordPress app is definitely borked. It let me into my blog a couple of times, but mostly it jsut sits there spinning. So far several people have reported several problems on the official support forum, but there’s been no response from the developers. They are volunteers, of course, and must put a fantastic amount of effort into this project. I would prefer, however, that they charge for the application and go the extra mile to release something that works.
