iPhone App 1.0.7 Updates

The Squarespace iPhone app has been steadily improving since it's initial launch.  We've been listening to user feedback, fixing bugs, and rolling out lots of new features.  If you don't have the latest update v1.0.7, you can grab a copy here.

So what's new in the latest release?

• Orientation - The entire app can be viewed in either landscape or portrait mode.
• Editors Accounts - It's now much easier to register an editor account.  
• Syncing Posts - When saving a post, either publish directly to your website, save to your website in draft mode, or save offline to your iPhone.  Syncing posts between the iPhone and your website is now much easier.
• Multiple Account Switching - Add as many accounts as you need.  Or even add the same account several times, with each one using a different journal.  You can quickly switch between accounts by selecting the drop-down title bar at top.
• Image Sizing - In the accounts page, you can now set up default image sizes for each account.
• Image Editing - It is now much easier to add images, rearrange them, and delete them from your posts.
• Speed - We've made a bunch of speed-related optimizations.  The app now feels much more fluid.
• Bugs - Yup, we had a few.  But we're working hard to squash these as quickly as they come.  Keep sending in support tickets if you find one!

Additional upgrades are around the corner.  Some of the new features you can expect soon are:

• Post comment approval and management.  Also, the ability to receive push notifications when you receive comments.
• Tight integration with your Twitter account.
• Advanced ability to edit the positioning and sizing of images.
• ...and a few more surprises! :)

Thanks again for using the app!

I have to tell you that I really like the evolution of the iPhone app. The orientation alignment addition is a huge plus for me.

I'm loving Big Picture Web on Squarespace. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. I also love the iPhone app. There are a few areas that need some improvement (e.g., more standard commenting system), but this is best CMS I've seen to date.

i realize this update relates to the publisher version of the Squarespace.com iphone app, but i've got to know, when will there be the ability to auto-redirect visitors on iPhone platform to mobile optimized version of a squarespace blog? it should be pretty easy, matter of fact i would think squarespace could partner with many of the third party developers out there to make their solution integrate seamlessly without much resource allocation.

i get about 25% mobile visitors, some of the reason likely because of my iPhone app.

I feel a lot of screen real estate is lost when editing a post on the iPhone. If you look at the way WriteRoom on the iPhone gets out of the way when editing, I think it would take the SquareSpace app to the next level.

And FYI: the About panel on the iPhone app still states 1.0.4.

I think I will have a try.
The new apps seems to have the features that I feel were missing so I guess I will join.
Plus I heard a lot about it (many friends of mine are using it and are big fans of it).
So see you soon on squarespace!

Hi, the app looks great! Thank you for another great feature accompanying the Squarespace platform.
If you could please add another feature request, I'd be very grateful.

Could we have visitor stats with uniques? (Vanity, I know...)

Keep up the good work!

[Mircea]

Me again! Just an update to future readers of these comments, it DOES show uniques, you just have to swipe the first panel :)

I'll be over there in the corner with my "dunce" hat...
