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

Annoyed. I just updated my blog to this latest app version of WordPress because the older version I was using is not designed for the latest version of Android. After reading the "About this app" details I was fine with the upgrade because the features i used were included. Yet once I updated, WordPress informed me that to continue to have access to the reader and notifications, I had to download and switch to Jetpack. In other words, I feel I have been fed a bit of bait and switch. Not happy.

I'm pretty new to this app, but they must've got their stuff together recently. Everything works really well (except for some glitching when you make new paragraphs, but I'm pretty used to this sort of thing and you can learn how to manage the issue) and I've only found 1 block that isn't supported so far. Quick and easy to use though, and will be using this app from now on to work on my site! It's much easier then the mobile site even ^^

In theory, this app could be wonderfully useful for bloggers on the go. The design, layout, and features provide everything I could want and need. Unfortunately, the reliability of the app falls short. I run into problems almost every time I use it. The whole app will freeze and crash any time I try to add more than a few pictures to a post, and what should take fifteen minutes ends up taking two hours. It is unbelievably frustrating. Editing on a mobile web browser is even worse, though.

What's new

- We fixed a handful of issues with highlighted text formatting. We don’t know about you, but that’s the highlight of our week.
- The app now supports text suggestions that are longer than the visible space in the editor. No crashes—just predictive text, as far as the eye can see.
