Automattic acquired what is probably the most popular third party WordPress publishing app, Poster. Tom Witkin, Poster’s developer, is joining Automattic to work on the official WordPress mobile apps. There’s a little more info on Mac Stories, TechCrunch and WP Daily, if you’re interested. I enjoy using the WordPress for iOS app, and am keen to have custom fields, which Poster had. It’d make approving articles on Post Status easier. So, yay!

I don’t really find the current WordPress iOS app useful for posting anything. Sure it has a place when it comes to moderating comments and viewing stats, but writing? I’ve always found that it messes with my Markdown and is there custom field support now?
I really hope that we see some real improvement to bring the WordPress iOS app up to the level Poster was at when it comes to writing.
