Today we released Version 1.5 of WordPress for Android to the
Android Market, which makes it effortless to keep up with your favorite blogs
and sites while on the go.
If you’ve connected one of your WordPress.com blogs with the
app, you’ll now see a ‘Read’ button at the bottom of your blogs list. Clicking
it will display all the latest posts published on the blogs that you follow,
along with the option to like or reblog them. You can even follow blogs and
sites that aren’t on WordPress.com, as long as they have an RSS feed.
Sweet! How do I add more sites to my reader?
Tap the “Follow” button while viewing any WordPress.com blog
(you’ll find it in the top admin bar while logged in) to add it to your reader.
To add a site that’s not on WordPress.com, simply enter the URL of the site at
the top of your following list and then click ‘Follow’.

What else is new?
We’ve tweaked a few things here and there in the app,
including using the HTML5 video tag for video uploads instead of the outdated
QuickTime tag. There are also a handful of bug fixes in Version 1.5 that
improve the app’s reliability.
What’s next for WordPress for Android?
We’re excited to let you know that work has already begun on
the next major update to WordPress for Android – Version 2.0. It’s going to
have a beautiful new look and will be stuffed with awesome new features. For
updates on Version 2.0, check out our Developer Blog. And if you have any
feedback on Version 1.5 and the new Read feature, be sure to let us know!
