A totally revamped WordPress for Android (v2.0) was rolled out in
December last year (2011) with a host of new features and improvements
that resolved some very important issues that users had with it up until
then. The developers have just released a new public beta of v2.1,
which adds a few more sought-after features to the mix, critical updates
and performance improvements. The most noticeable improvement in the
updated version is the auto-save feature that automatically saves your
posts after every 60 seconds. In addition, users can now resize the
width & height of the images added within posts, and edit post
comments. The app’s native WordPress reader to add more efficiency in
navigation through posts and the option to add your own comments . More
on the update after the break.
The new version also brings some small but useful changes in the main UI. For instance, the reader screen now sports a share button and the delete button on the preview screen has been reposition at the bottom-left corner of the screen. This makes sense, as you no longer have to worry about accidentally pressing the delete button while looking to share, edit or preview a post.
As mentioned earlier, the auto-save option for posts is, by far, the biggest change in the update. With your posts being saved automatically after every single minute, you no longer need to fear losing progress in case the app crashes, your device reboots or you make a huge error.
Since the app is in beta, the developers are requesting maximum user response so that they may be able to gauge the effectiveness of all the features included within the update. WordPress 2.1 for Android is yet to hit the Google Play Store, however, you can download the beta release via the official WordPress Blog (links provided below).
