Why WordPress?

There are a lot of blogging services, website builders, and social networks out there. Why create your website with WordPress?

WordPress powers over a third of the web. It’s used by hobby blogs, businesses of all sizes, online stores, even the biggest news sites on the internet. Odds are that many of your favorite websites are running on WordPress.

With WordPress, you own your own content. Other social networks treat you as a commodity, and assume ownership of the content you post. But with WordPress anything you publish is yours, and you can take it with you wherever you’d like.

Whether you need a website builder to create your website, or a simple blog maker, WordPress can help. It gives you beautiful designs, powerful features, and the freedom to build anything you want.

Ratings and reviews

Man, I gotta say, the WordPress Android app has really let me down. 😔 Its upload function is all over the place, and it's super frustrating! Every time I try to make changes to my site, I keep running into these annoying error messages that stop me from uploading successfully. Like, seriously?! 😡 It's such a buzzkill when I manage to upload something, but those wins are totally overshadowed by the constant "not able to upload" errors. Ugh! 🙄 This app needs to get its act together and fix it.

Horrible experience I've had lately. Costing me business. There was an email generated regarding a potential vulnerability that was detected in one of the plug-ins; however there was nothing needed on my part as I supposedly had the correct version for automatic update. Well I go today to try and add products and discover broken links on my page and MOST of my most recent products are missing. This is unacceptable. I have no idea how long this has been going on. I'm missing like 17 pics!!!

Ok, but features on web version missing from app, that shouldn't be. (Both Wordpress and Jetpack.) Portfolio, for example. It is a special type of post, but still a post. And so it should be able to be used in-app, but isn't present. (Even when portfolio is enabled on the web version.) Makes it a real pain when a site is primarily made of portfolio post/pages.

What's new

When you tap on a nested text block, you can immediately edit content in that block—no more tapping through every nesting level to get where you want to go. (Our fingers were getting tired, too.)
