WordPress App Updated to Support Fast App Switching on iOS 4

Apple has just approved a new version of the official WordPress application (2.5) which, like many other apps this week, adds support for iOS 4.

This update is more important than other apps though, considering that WordPress is the world leading blogging platform and that the iPhone / iPad app has been flawed by terrible bugs and UI inconsistencies for months.

Here’s the full changelog:

- New Add Blog feature adds all of your WordPress.com blogs in one easy step

- Better handling of drafts in progress when quitting the app

- Performance enhancements, UI improvements, and bug fixes

- Supports fast app switching in iOS 4.

- Optimized for the Retina Display on iPhone 4.

The app surely works a lot better than before and it didn’t return any sort of error while adding MacStories to the blog list. Also, fast app switching with saved state is a very welcome feature which allows you to, say, exit the app, copy some text from another app and quickly go back to what you were doing before.
