Customer Reviews
God Send....
I'm a ridiculous critic about everything. Let me tell you...this is absolutely "A1". I use blogspot and when I logged in using my iPhone, everything was laid out exactly the way it is on the website. This makes it super easy to post and manage your blogs on the go. I'll be in Army OCS (not exactly liberal on time or computer access) for 13 weeks, and this program adds so much value to my iPhone. Being able to have my most important apps from my laptop on my iPhone makes a world of difference.
Thanks for making a great app.
AMAZING AND PERFECT!
All I can say is that there is no blogging program for the Iphone that even comes CLOSE to this one. Works 100% It also works with Vox blogs - they should add it to the list. It pulls your existing posts, it lets you do everything, the interface is excellent, I can't say enough good things about this thing.
Does not work as advertised
Writing an application that supports multiple blogging accounts is probably not an easy task. All APIs are slightly different, not to mention the underlying system: MovableType uses CGI, Wordpress PHP and so on.
However, if you are advertising that your application works out of the box, it should actually do that. But it does not.
I have multiple blog accounts, but only one using MovableType. Using Web access, it works like a charm. iBlogger connects to my blog, but it won't let me publish anything. The error line is cryptic to the non-programmer/average user, and even if you're looking it up with Google and try figuring out what's wrong, you won't come far.
MovableType has one help page with a related error (failed access through third party apps), but the described procedure does not work. The only change is, it does not throw up an error message, it simply leads iBlogger to time out.
All in all it's disappointing, even with all the nice features this application has. Since MovableType does not seem to create an iPhone app, I was hoping this was going to be the missing application I had been waiting for.
