WordPress for iOS 6.4

Just want to give a heads up to all WordPress users who blog on their iPads and iPhones. The development team released WordPress for iOS 6.4 a few days ago and it contains some new features, upgrades and bug fixes.

Do you want to know what this newest release of WordPress for iOS has in store? Here’s what’s new in 6.4 (via the App store):

  • iPad Keyboard Shortcuts – To show our external keyboard users some love, we’ve added some handy keyboard shortcuts to the post editor and for switching between tabs. Can you say a productivity boost?
  • Share Media – Do you like sharing images? Yeah, so do we! Not being able to share images to the app via Apple’s native sharing feature was getting us down so we had to add it.
  • Search in the Reader – We want to make it easier to find content you like in the Reader. We think our new Search feature will be a great first step.
  • Blog Post/Page Search – Speaking of searching, you can now search for post and pages that are on your blog but not synced to the app.
  • Improved Gestures – Finally, just for fun, we made it so full-screen images can be flung away when you’re done viewing. Just give the screen a quick swipe to send those pixels tumbling away into the ether.
