We’ve been hard at work improving the WordPress for iPhone app based on all the great feedback we’ve received from the WordPress community.
Based on this feedback, and along with a few bug fixes and performance enhancements, we are introducing a host of new functionality in the forthcoming 1.2 release, including:
- Landscape mode with the extra wide keyboard
- Link creation help
- Support for editing and creating Pages
- Comment moderation
- Asynchronous publishing
- Photo resizing options
With all this new functionality we are asking for help in testing this new version before we push out the update through the Apple iTunes service. To help test the app, please run the Apple iPhone Simulator that is bundled with the free SDK and download the latest code tagged “1.2beta1″ which is available at iphone.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2beta1. To see the comment moderation and Pages support you’ll need to test with a WordPress 2.7 beta build or a WordPress.com blog.
If you find any reproducible bugs please check if anyone has already filed a ticket, and if not create a new ticket with all the details on our iPhone trac.
And lastly, to get a sense for the new features, our very own Michael Pick has put together a quick video showing a few of the new things you’ll find in version 1.2:
Thanks in advance to those who can help test, and we look forward to pushing out the final 1.2 release very soon.
I really appreciate the hard work that you all at WordPress have put into creating the WordPress app for the iPhone. I don’t know what I would do without it. Just wanted to say thanks.

I would try this out for comments moderation if I could get WordPress 2.7 to work on my website but I’ve been having problems when I try to get it working.
Thank you for adding comment moderation earlier than expected. You guys rock!

Awesome, can’t wait to use it myself!
Thanks for the hard work. Landscape mode and comment moderation are two killer features that are great to see in such early development stages of the application.
I’m looking forward to its release!
[...] Eu tenho escrito vários posts do Ubimidia direto do iPhone com a App do WordPress. O problema é que ela tinha várias limitações, como não poder inserir links e não alterar o tamanho das imagens. Mas a versão 1.2 que deve ser lançada em breve acaba com isso. Confiram aqui. [...]
Guys, can’t wait! Great job!
Really appreciate the effort you put into this app.
Amazing work, and maybe (I don’t know if SDK let do this) you can integrate the hyperlink creation with the safari browsing history (10 last webs or something like that) to workaround the copy&paste-less iPhone.

It’s awesome you guys are making improvements. I thought the first app was weak but I appreciated you trying. *crossing fingers this one is better*
This is a great app and I use it a lot. These features will help me out greatly. I don’t regret switching over to WordPress at all. You guys really take care of your subscribers. Thanks a lot for the hard work.

Wow, I cannot wait to try the new version on my phone.
Just used the WordPress for iPhone 1.1 for the first time to create this post: http://www.tweetboxlive.com/2008/12/23/wordpress-for-iphone/
I think the app is truly phenomal and the updated options look just stunning in the video.
I am truly indebted to you guys. WordPress has turned my passion for writing back on after 20 years.
Thank you
