WordPress App Review for Android, cell phone mobile, While you are better off customizing the look and feel of your WordPress blog using the larger screen of a computer, WordPress for Android enables website owners, content writers and webmasters to accomplish some basic and routine tasks from their Android devices.
Write Post and Pages on Your Mobile
If you want a way to easily write and publish a new post or page from your Android this is the app for you. WordPress for Android is an Open Source app that empowers you to write new posts and pages, edit content as well as manage comments and notifications.
View You Blog’s Stats and Moderate Comments
Administrators of self-hosted blogs can also use the app to view their stats, but will need to install the stats plugin. After you have done so, simply enter your login and select the ‘Stats’ tab to see the stats.
The app can also be used to manage discussions on your blog by giving you options to moderate comments and reply to the one you wish to engage.
Follow Other Blogs
It is not just a tool for webmasters though, the app can be used to follow another blog in a similar way you follow a RSS feed. If it is a WordPress.com blog you can just hit the “Follow” button in the app and you should start getting updates via RSS.
If the blog is not on WordPress.com, you can still follow it, provided that the blog has a RSS feed.
The app is constantly being updated with exciting new features; see what the developers are currently working on for the next WordPress for Android app at the developer blog. Once there you can see how the new app is being developed and even request features you want included in the next release.

Summary:
WordPress Android App allows you to edit your WordPress blog, either self hosted or WordPress.com from Android phones. Far from the initial fork for Dan Roundhill’s wpToGo Android App; it has been overhauled with elegant new user interface, easy methods to quickly add picture & video posts, plus support for Android tablets.
Create and edit blog posts either locally, post a draft or publish to the blog. Moderate comments, and even create and edit Pages. Within the posts you can do limited formatting, however link captions can be added for better SEO and add images with caption and alignment options from your phone. With this iteration, you can edit your WordPress.com hosted blog as well.
If your blog is hosted on WordPress.com, there is an added benefit to check your blog stats, however, this feature is not available to self-hosted WordPress blogs.
