WordPress for BlackBerry

The all new WordPress for BlackBerry app allows you to write posts, upload photos and videos, edit pages, and manage comments. Both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.7 or higher) sites are supported. Download the app and start blogging on the go in no time.

Version 1.2.1 has been released to AppWorld today. This release contains a bug fix that resolves localization issues on some older BlackBerry devices. If you are experiencing issues using WordPress for BlackBerry in languages other than English, we strongly encourage you to update to this new version. Depending on your region or country, you might not see the latest version in the BlackBerry App World, but on your device you should now already see the latest version 1.2.1. The all new WordPress for BlackBerry app allows you to write posts, upload photos and videos, edit pages, and manage comments. Both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.7 or higher) sites are supported. Download the app and start blogging on the go in no time.

For those who could not download using Appworld the easiest way is to point your mobile browser at the “Over-The-Air” installation link:

• BlackBerry Device OS v4.2.1 or higher
• BlackBerry Device OS v4.7 or higher

A quick note for Storm users . If you’re seeing UI problems such as unresponsiveness to the accelerometer,  poor layout with large buttons, or strange focus behaviour, the most likely explanation is the compatibility mode.  You need to run the app with Compatibility mode OFF. (Go to option-> Advanced options-> Application. Select the WordPress app from the list, push the menu button and select “Disable the compatibility mode”).
