wpTogo – WordPress app for Android

UPDATE: Try this newer article about the official WordPress app.

WordPress is quickly gaining popularity as a blogging platform and website creator. WordPress offers a solution to people looking to start a website or blog that don’t have a lot of html or other coding experience. WordPress is simple, versatile, and powerful when it comes to site optimization. (This site is a wordpress site)

So for us android geeks we have finally seen a wordpress app surface in the android market. WpTogo isn’t fantastic, and I would go so far as to even say it isn’t really that good. Just to give it a full try I am going to create and publish this post from the wpTogo app on my G1.

Most of the functionality is simple enough but it lacks a lot of key features! Basically you can write a basic post with any hyperlinks and attach a couple of pictures from your SD card. You can input tags and categories but that’s about it.

For now I guess it will have to do. The iPhone (I know that’s like a cuss word) has released a complete, official wordpress app and so it is just a matter of time now.

I have been using wpToGo for a long time and it rocks.

WordPress deserved better than WpToGo… the app barely functions and god help you if you think it’ll reliably upload photos with your posts.

Bob, I agree. WordPress deserves more! That one phone made by that one company that is named after a fruit (the name of the phone is of course a cuss word) has an official wordpress app that is great. For now this is the best we have.

It totally works fine for me, image upload included. Is widget management even in the wp api???

  I’m not sure about widgets but I would like to see some pages control and comment moderation. I’m certain those are supported in the API

  I have never had any problems at all. I would email the developers.
