I recently downloaded the WordPress app and found it surprisingly lacking, being essentially the same as simply running the dashboard in a mobile browser. Given that it is pretty much a given that useful UIs capitalise on the affordances of their platform, this is obviously problematic given the complexity of the dashboard, making it exceptionally difficult to operate on a small, touch screen.

I’m writing this post using an app called Blogpress, an alternative whose utility I have yet to determine. On the upside, it’s extremely simple to use and post when I’m out and about. On the downside it costs a whole $3. If I can calculate the cost of something in the amount of coffees I won’t be buying, it better be pretty good.
