One of the most requested features for the WordPress iPhone app has been to include site statistics such as pageviews per post, referrals, and the like inside the app. In fact, according to this trac ticket from 17 months ago, it’s been something we’ve wanted to do for a very long time.
Many of us use the WordPress.com stats for our WordPress.com sites and self-hosted WordPress sites via the plugin. In our WordPress dashboard, we see charts like this:
What I’d love to know is what would people like to see both data wise, and visually, from inside the WordPress for iPhone app – and if something like push notification for stats would be of interest ? If you have any thoughts, please leave them in the comments below, or if you are a developer with specific implementation ideas, please head over to the WP iPhone dev blog.
And also be sure to checkout the standalone iPhone WordPress.com stats app from a company called Menial. They built the app by hooking into the WordPress.com Stats API — and the app is something I use all the time to track my own blog stats.
A stripped down view (like in the excellent “Ego” app) would suffice for quick stat-checking on the go.
This would be excellent I already post blog entries from my iPhone and would love to be able to view stats from inside the application. This is the number 1 request I have for the application. Push Notification to know when you have passed certain numbers of hits would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks for the feedback.
I think push notification opens up some really interesting possibilities such as the one you described.
That would be great!
A basic overview (with or without graph) would be awesome.
Interesting but as a user of the Menial app not a huge issue for me. Their app does a very nice job.
Of course if you are going to add that, you should also look at adding support for Akismet management
What about push notifications for comments? Stats is okay (say per 1,000 hits), but for comments that would be truly awesome!
Also having a formatting bar (for bold, italics, blockquotes, strike through, read more, etc.) would be cool as well (e.g. look at the LiveJournal.app to see what I mean).
If you have all of those features–plus the ability to insert images where ever (instead of having them all inserted at the bottom) then this would become a killer app for me!
I am starting to use it too. want to clean up comments on Asif2bd.info & TheTechjournal.com
