myWPEdit - The gorgeous WordPress client. App Reviews

There is almost no edition option and the WISIWYG editor as only the name of it… Try to do a list and it will insert html code in the "visual" editor. If you look at one of your archive, the formatting will be awful. You cannot even save a post as a draft !

my overall impression is quite good - so thanks for this app! But there could be some improvements to increase the overall usability: * allow moving pictures to be moved around in the text by the mouse * Option to delete Pictures from the Post (it’s there, but doesn’t work) * Allow to insert pictures directly from the clipboard - that would be a killer feature! * Display H2 Headlines not as a HTML-Tag in the Text, but as s subheadline what they actually are or provide the layout preview as a tab / 2nd view one can write in

First off, I was looking for a simple offline Wordpress editor that would make writing posts much more fluid by having all of my posts written offline allowing me to store templates and posts locally. Overall, myWPEdit does work really well, looks very nice and does post posts as it should. However, my only issue is that it was lacking the "Kitchen Sink" so to speak. That is, it is missing that interface bars that allows you to quickly add a link, bold text, change heading types etc. As well it is lacking an HTML editor that you can easily switch too such as the one in wp-admin. Dont get me wrong this program does work as an offline publishing tool, but I just wish that it was just as easy and speedy to write in as the online wordpress editor.

For the price it is OK. Comparing to other WP editors it is relatively cheap, but not super easy to set. If you can avoid using app for creating your new entries on WP blog do not buy it, but if you want an app for that but do not want to spend 30 euro on other software than it is a good option.

The application is not running and the literature is not complete.

The functionality of this app with my Mac is great. Love you guys.

This application has serious photo management issues. Alignment doesnt work. It placed my photos over and over when I only asked for it to be placed once. I doesnt allow you to save an entry as a draft. Not set up for working offline. Lost half of my text (anything written after a photo is placed). Its a mess. Complete waste of money.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. I fooled around with all the settings. Got a more expert blogger to look at everything. Installed and re-installed and it wouldnt download pictures. I was told by the developer that the pics had to be on desktop. Thats second nature to me anyways. I do that all the time. This app simply doesnt work. After pressing send and waiting several days the blog I sent still didnt successfully go to my blog. I went ahead and forked over more money for a better. one. I can install pics and have my end product put on my blog no problem with what I got now- a definite 1 star for something that doesnt work

This app is so beautifully designed and I havent seen any alternatives yet. I like the philosophy of this App: focus, simple and uncluttered. After having tried a number of similar apps this, by far, has worked best for me. I would recommend this app to anyone writing posts with WP.

I read the reviews and was a little skeptical, but its the only blog app I could find. Its really simple to use, the photo uploaded very easily, and Im very happy with it!!

I was trying this with a self-hosted Wordpress blog. It seems to read my posts and drafts OK, so I took an existing draft and tried to give it a whirl. The first confusing thing is that there isnt a "save" button anywhere. So I pressed the edit button which said it would update the site based on what Id been editing locally. What it did however was erase the draft from the site. I ended up cutting and pasting back into the web browser, then fixing links and reformatting. Needs to be easier, IE "save local" and "save remote" and should never ever erase things on your server.

It says it is WYSIWYG, but its not really. You have to add the html tags manually to get things like headings, lists and other stuff. When you do this, the formatting gets all strange with double line breaks, so to make it look right on your blog, you end up writing a block of text, with tags, without any line breaks. There is a button to add formatting elements, but this just puts the tags around the highlighted text, it doesnt make it actually appear formatted. I had high hopes for an off-line, visual editor for my blog. myWPEdit did not fulfill those hopes.

Might be possible to set up such that it makes a bloggers life easier, but hard to configure and (after extensive, un-productive effort) still doesnt play well with my sites WordPress instance. Abandoned in favor of built-in WordPress admin interface. Waste of $10; I regret purchasing this app.

Dont understand the problems. Type in your credentials and thats it. Nothing else to do. Of course you need the latest WP update and you need to know what you are doing. Everything is working the way you expect it from a native Mac application. Drag-and-drop for images. Preview. Shortcuts. Auto-save. Etc. There is even a verbose manual and help and you can ask for assistance at any time. Directly built into the App.

This does not display your post in a WYSIWYG style at all. The text is not formatted, but rather you assign it format and you can only preview it in a separate window. This is not Dreamweaver for Wordpress. This is like a text editor and a browser to test in. Slightly more automated than that. It does allow for easy drop of images. I plan do delete so I will not be coming back to this again. I wish someone would pull off a great wordpress editor that can handle multiple sites. This is not it.

This app makes editing a blog slightly easier than using the native WordPress editor, but theres no huge advantage. The feature that would make it killer would be off line editing. Id like to be able to create a series of blog entries when Im away from my wifi connection, including pictures, and then upload everything with a single click when I can connect to the net again. That would really be great when traveling.

Ive been searching for such an App for years now. The others are way to expensive or ugly or even not working at all. I always ended up using Safari. MyWPedit offers all I need to just write a post and add a photo and I can apply post formats and it remembers my used links. Wish it would use the Readinglist instead of Readitlater - but otherwise its a great product. Addition: Thanks for fixing the drafts bug!

Update: With the latest update it got better. No w I can applu my own post format. Thanks Love the Readmelater feature. This program works nicely and feels nimble. I have no problems with writing drafts or the photos. It makes me very productive.

I cant get it to work with my wordpress blog, and cant find any useful help files. It doesnt recognize my url or my password. Worthless.

This App does what it says, however, it doesnt seem like it was written by a long time blogger as stated in the description. I found that a lot of features were missing like - theres no HTML view, you can only browse up to 500 articles in archives and bunch of other stuff. Its not worth $10, maybe $3.
