Squarespace App - Updated To 1.0.6

Finally Usable But Not Perfect

This post is mostly a test of the updated App. I hope to find that the major bugs have been fixed and that the App's stability has improved.

So far the App is much quicker and I have yet to have a crash. I have found some cosmetic issued with scrolling Statistics in portrait mode (new to this version all screen can now be viewed in landscape) where the text ghosts as it is scrolled.

There is a new Save To iPhone function that allows Posts to be saved locally but I found when I tried to use it on a new Post it didn't show up in the list afterwards (though after editing an existing post the did workSave To iPhone and after saving this post to the Site, the first post that I had saved to the iPhone showed up in the list).

There is still no way to manage Comments via the App and there are no new text formatting functions in the Text editor, so mark-up must still be added manually.

A default image size can now be set for each Squarespace account via the Account settings, though there is still no way to position uploaded images in the Post. There is also no function to access the Site's File Store, so images stored on the Site can not be used.

There has been no new functions added to the basic Post settings so a Post will need to be cleaned up later outside of the iPhone if you wish to set the Post's Summary and adding Tags is still a chore as there is no pop-up lists, as there is with Categories, this you must know what the spelling and format of existing Tags or your they will quickly become a mess.

If you have an iPhone and a Squarespace account then I recommend you get this App and don't forget you can try Squarespace for free and if you listen to John C. Dvorak's Tech 5 Podcast you can get a code for a lifetime 12% discount, which is better than every other discount by 2% (See Tech 5).
