WordPress for iOS 4.8 Released, Adds Visual Editor

WordPress for iOS 4.8 is available on the app store and includes a few notable features. The app now sports a visual editor providing a what you see is what you get experience. Prior to 4.8, the editor was stuck in HTML mode making it hard to read and write content.

The editor contains the most commonly used formatting tools and just like the desktop version of WordPress, includes a toggle to switch between HTML and Visual editing mode. There’s also an image size selector where you can choose between Thumbnail, Medium, Large, or Full-size.

Although I struggled with adding block quotes, the visual editor is a nice departure from HTML mode. I find it convenient to format content as I’m writing versus when the post is completed. Overall, 4.8 is a nice release and I think users are going to enjoy the new visual editor. After you upgrade to 4.8, let us know what you think in the comments.
