3.3 The WordPress device app

Today a large percentage of your visitors will be on mobile, so doesn’t it makes sense that you could work on your site using mobile as well? Of course it does!

You certainly can use the web browser on your phone or tablet to log into your WordPress admin panel since WordPress can scale pretty well on devices but there is another option, the app.

We will be discussing the iOS version installed on an iPad since that is what I normally use. The version for my phone works the same except I find it a little too small to do much work on.

The Android version is very similar and only seems to differ in some of the layout. For example the main icons are on the top of my Android phone whereas they are on the bottom of my iOS phone (yes, I carry both, and I have both types of tablets too, what a geek!).

Start by going to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your device and search for WordPress. To make sure you download the right thing, the author should be Automattic. Since it is free you just have to install it and launch it.

This is a wonderful app for daily use, making posts while on the run, approving comments while waiting in line at the grocery store or fixing a typo on a page while sipping a tall drink on the beach (what am I saying, if you are on a beach sipping a tall drink and even think of working, you need a shrink!). It is not capable of working with themes, menus, widgets, plugins, updates and other core setup functionality.

The first time you launch it, it will ask you to log in with the following screen:
