Sorry for the inconvenience Tee. Version 2.6.1 is currently under review in the App Store and should be out very soon.

Giles, thanks for the feedback. The image “squishiness” bug (as we’ve started calling it) is taken care of in 2.6.1, which is currently under review at the App Store and should be available shortly.

As far as reading the resize settings from the blog, we are limited to the functionality available through the XML-RPC API. Currently that’s not available, but this is a great idea. We’ll look into adding this functionality to XML-RPC, and thus the app, sometime soon.

I would just like to add that having just been to italy and primarily using the app offline I noticed a few issues when I upgraded when I managed to get hotel wifi. Primarily my concern is that I get 4 NSAlerts pop up telling me I am offline and I also cannot seem to add images to posts without being online.

The offline features were what drew me to this app in the first place, its a really good way to keep on blogging when traveling and not racking up huge data bills, but still keeps your timeline and location data. Aside from that I like the update and have had no issues aside from the bad user / pass message on update (which a clean install fixed) and I also have the same issue as Timothy Bolton where the landscape mode breaks when writing a post.

Hope the feedback helps… looking forward to the next update!

Thanks for everyones hard work on this app! Now I know there’s already a bunch of comments on this issue but the resizing and aspect ratio distortion of uploaded images is an app killer for me. Two questions:

- Is it possible for the image resize settings (thumb/med/lrg) to be read from the settings of the blog being posted to?

- Is the aspect ratio distortion issue on the list for fixes in the next release?

Thanks again.

Hi There, Any idea when we might be seeing an update? I know I am excited to get blogging again. I had come to love and rely on my wordpress app. Code isn’t feeling very poetic right now.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Josh, are you trying to add a WordPress.com blog or a self-hosted WordPress.org site? In other words, does your blog live on wordpress.com? If not, then it sounds like you might be trying to add a WordPress.com blog when you should be using the last option, “Add existing WordPress.org site.”

Both in portrait and landscape orientation, the article text field runs off the side of the screen. Any words (and spaces) up to about four characters long disappear. Rather disconcerting when you are trying to write a piece of professional text.
Additionally, if you preview when you are part way through your article, previewing again at a later moment does not show the changes since the first preview.
Thirdly, tags seem to be converted to lower case after the initial capital on the first tag. I like to have all my tags capitalized for consistency and readability but I have to edit the new tags through the web interface.
Apart from these minor niggles, the rest looks good so far…

since the update on my ipad the app has become unusable. It crashes at random intervals which would be bad on its own but it is some of the lost functionality that now makes the app useless:

- images added to a local draft when the ipad is offline are lost (not uploaded)
- images that are uploaded when online are distorted and don’t have the white framing that app v2.5 inserted
- often images added don’t show up in the blog post

please give us v2.5 again until all the issues with 2.6 have been solved!
