I’m now more confused than I was before.
Ok, I see the need to now use the Jetpack app over the WordPress app which is what I wondering before I came to this post. But it now leads me to wonder why I need the WordPress app.

It seems to come across as…
Use the WP app for your richer publishing experiences while on-the-go but if you want to know how the results of those experiences are doing on the web then it’s not going to happen as the JP app, that gives you those results won’t work together with the WP app.
Yet if you already know how your site is performing (when you are away from your computer) with the improved JP app and want to expand into an improved writing/publishing venture with the newly restructured WP app it’s not going to happen either until you get rid of that pesky JP app .

Rather than vaguely romanticizing/sensationalizing the two right now, if WP (Automattic) had just given a straight forward statement upfront of how they are revamping the WP app to better facilitate other areas of WP publishing and that the newly improved JP app is now the one we should solely use for most of the features that JP offers I think it would reduced the confusion they have caused across the WP.com community.
