Changelog

Release notes for Bloggie — the WordPress blog manager for Android.

Version 1.2

Latest October 2026

A new post editor, and Bloggie Pro.

The editor

  • Posts are edited as WordPress blocks with real formatting — bold, italic, strikethrough, links and inline code — instead of raw HTML or markdown. Paragraphs, headings (H2–H4), bulleted and numbered lists, quotes, code and separators can be added, moved, changed and deleted.
  • Blocks the app can’t edit (embeds, galleries, tables, columns, buttons, custom HTML…) appear as locked “edit on the web” cards and are saved back exactly as they were. Posts edited in the app still open cleanly in the WordPress block editor; classic-editor posts stay classic.
  • Typing shortcuts: ## heading, - list, 1. numbered list, > quote.
  • Undo and redo, word count and reading time.

Post settings and images

  • Post settings: featured image, categories (with “new category”), tags (suggestions and new tags), excerpt, slug, and visibility — public, private or password-protected.
  • Images: pick several at once, see upload progress, add captions and alt text. Images added offline are kept on the phone and uploaded before the post syncs; an image the blog rejects is removed instead of being published broken.

Never lose an edit

  • Autosave: unsaved edits are kept every few seconds and offered for restore after the app is closed or crashes. Leaving with unsaved changes asks to save, update or discard.
  • Edit conflicts: if a post changed on the web while edits were waiting to sync, the app asks whether to keep your version, the blog’s version, or save yours as a copy, instead of overwriting. Such posts are marked “Edited on the web” in lists.

Preview and sharing

  • Preview inside the app, plus “View on blog” / “Preview on blog” in a browser tab.
  • Share to Bloggie: text, links and photos shared from other apps start a new post, with a blog picker when there are several blogs.

Bloggie Pro

  • Bloggie Pro, prepaid: 1 month or 1 year, no automatic renewal. The Pro screen shows Google Play’s local prices and the yearly saving, with “Add time” top-ups, restore purchase and a link to Play subscriptions. Pro keeps working offline for up to 7 days without reaching Play, and is re-checked whenever the app opens.
  • The free version manages one blog (the demo doesn’t count); adding another opens the Pro screen. Users who already have more keep them.
  • Pro features: scheduled publishing (date and time picker), revision history (load an earlier version into the editor), saved snippets (per blog, on the phone) and image galleries (existing WordPress galleries can be edited too).
  • Reminders 3 days and 1 day before prepaid Pro runs out — a notification and a card on the blogs home — since prepaid plans don’t renew.

Changed

  • Demo blog posts are written as WordPress blocks, with a sample image, categories and tags, so they open cleanly in the new editor.
  • Your blogs, posts and unsynced changes are kept when the app updates.
  • Post excerpts in lists come from the first text block, not raw markup.

Version 1.1.7

October 19, 2026

Added

  • Multiple blogs. A new “My blogs” home with a card per blog: logo, post count, pending comments, unsynced changes and last sync time. Tap a card to manage that blog, go back to switch.
  • Blog logos from the WordPress Site Icon, or the icon declared by the site’s theme, with a coloured initial as fallback.
  • Add / edit blog screen that validates the address and Application Password against the site before saving. Accepts pasted addresses ending in /wp-admin or /wp-json.
  • A welcome screen for first launch, explaining what’s needed to add a blog, plus an optional demo blog.
  • App lock: fingerprint, face, pattern, PIN or password before opening a blog (Settings → Security, on by default). Turning it off also requires verification.
  • Bulk comment moderation: long-press to select; approve, spam, unapprove, restore or trash many comments at once.
  • Images in posts: pick from the gallery (the system photo picker, no permission needed); photos are resized, uploaded to the blog’s Media Library and inserted as an image block.
  • About screen, splash screen and a Settings screen.

Changed

  • A new app logo and launcher icon.
  • Comment actions are labelled (Reply, Approve, Spam, Trash, Unapprove, Restore) instead of icon-only buttons.
  • The dashboard section is now called “Comments awaiting moderation”.
  • Posts and comments are fetched 100 at a time (was 20 / 50), so larger blogs load completely.
  • Blog passwords are encrypted with the Android Keystore.
  • Targets Android 16.

Fixed

  • Confirmation before moving a comment or post to the trash, naming what will be trashed.
  • “1 comments” now reads “1 comment”.
  • Status bar icons stay readable when switching dark mode inside the app.
  • “Synced 0 min ago” now reads “Synced just now”.

Version 1.0.1

October 19, 2026

Changed

  • Targets Android 16, as Google Play requires.

Version 1.0.0

October 19, 2026

First release — your WordPress blogs in your pocket.

Added

  • Dashboard, a posts list with search and filters, and a post editor with preview.
  • Comment moderation: approve, spam, trash and reply.
  • Offline queue: changes are saved on the phone first and synced when online.
