WordPress Updates Its iOS App with Video, Autosave, WordPress 3.0 Compatibility

Well finally, I would say: after a whole summer spent looking for a decent blogging app for iPad (and to an extent, for the iPhone as well) looks like we might just have a decent WordPress app here.

The latest 2.6 version that just became available in iTunes introduces support for video, a new autosave feature to go back to a previous version of a post, a brand new media library interface. The local drafts system has been completely overhauled (quite frankly, it sucked), tons of bug fixes and enhancements are in the update, together with full WordPress 3.0 compatibility (about time).

We’ll see how this will hold up to regular daily usage. In the meantime, you can go download the free universal app here, and take a look at the full changelog and screenshots after the break.

What’s New In Version 2.6

- Video!

- Complete overhaul of Local Drafts.

- New Autosave feature allows you to revert to an earlier version of a post.

- New Add Blog/Site setup, now compatible with WordPress 3.0 networks and 2.9.2 multisites.

- New Media Library interface.

- Tons of bugfixes and under-the-hood enhancements.
