What's New

Two-step authentication now comes with extra security. You'll need to unlock your device to approve or deny notifications.
We expanded the "Link To" setting for the image block to include "Media File" and "Attachment Page" options alongside the preexisting "Custom URL" option.
We fixed an issue that made the interface crash when users copied and pasted lists from Microsoft Word.

When you head over to My Site > Comments, you'll see a fresh look and even fresher comment details, including:

- A sneak peek of the post title or parent comment, depending on whether the author left a comment on the post or replied to an existing comment.
- Rich content so you can see each comment just as the author wrote it.
- A share button for approved comments.
- Users with Administrator or Editor roles can see the comment authors' email and IP addresses.
- Tappable web address to visit the author's URL (instead of their avatar image).

Finally, we updated the UI for the Reply view, both minimized and fullscreen. Looking sharp!

Recent updates are amazing

Thank you for the recent updates!!! I actually think it's easier to use than the website- which is great but I hope the website also gets better and Wordpress doesn't become an app only thing...for longer posts I love to use my laptop and the web version because it easier to type a long post, but right now id rather type it on a google doc or something and copy and paste on my phone using the app. It's very user friendly and the interface has been updated so much- it's finally worthy of using and enjoying it. Before, the app looked so outdated and had limited capabilities- it's finally been updated so you can virtually do anything you can online using your phone. I had some trouble uploading images but I believe this was an issue with a plugin and it was fixed. Sometimes the publish button doesn't work properly and I have to save as a draft and go to my computer to publish, but I'm confident that has been fixed with the newest update (just downloaded so fingers crossed). Thank you sooo much for finally giving the app the attention it deserves!! Especially for the many creatives who use Wordpress, it's important to be able to create and update our pages and posts on the go when we are inspired. So many times I have ideas that get written down in my phone notes and they never get turned into posts like i planned to- now I can open it up and make sure it gets done the minute I'm inspired. Thanks again!

Amazing app! Could be better...

I love this app! Super useful. I really enjoy the new updates and features. I would definitely use this and will recommend it to friends. It is possibly the easiest and most convenient way to make a website. However, I do think that some improvements could be made. For example, I often get unwanted suggestions and remarks that are not necessary. Also, when I go onto my site, the recent changes that I have made don't appear. I do refresh the page, but find it doesn't show up until the next day. This was a huge problem, especially, when I posted a link that led nowhere. When I tried to update it, it didn't show up until the next day. Please check this out, and if you can, update the site more often! Love the new changes, and overall think this app deserves a 4 star review.

Hi there! Thanks for the review! Can you share your URL with us at mobile-support@automattic.com so we can check what's happening with your recent changes? Thank you so much!

Limited functionality

Yes, it's a mobile app, and ten years ago that would have justified its limited functionality and beta-like business, but not any more. The phone I use today has twice the computing power of the desktop computer I had when I first used WordPress. There's simply no reason a Mobile app doesn't have the same options I can get access to through a desktop computer. Add to that it's inability to communicate properly with the desktop site (like how it almost never recognizes posts started, scheduled, or even published from the desktop) and it's annoying built in bugs (it's actually designed to pick up already used tags only after you type at least two letters (really? If I have to remember at least the first two letters then I'm actually forced to memorize them all... so what's the point?).

I suggest the top brass as WordPress use only this app for all their publishing needs for the next month. I'm certain we'd see some improvements. Until then I'll just fumble through this as best I can going back and forth between app and desktop because, frankly, the website isn't exactly mobile friendly. But then, neither is the mobile app.

> it almost never recognizes posts started, scheduled, or even published from the desktop
This should not be happening. It sounds like you might have setup the Jetpack at some point in the past and now it's not syncing correctly in the app either because of a change to the plugin (was it removed?) or it might be another plugin conflict or server-side issue. We'd love to get more detail about your specific case to see if there's anything we can do to help. Please consider contacting support using the form on the Profile > Help & Support page in the app to continue the discussion.
