wpToGo is a full featured and free WordPress client for the Android platform.

For those of you, like me, who use WordPress, let me just say that you need this application in your life! Mobile blogging was never so easy, and this app does it all.

It supports:

Multiple blogs
Post Creation (with italics, bold, links, and pictures)
Post Editing
Photo Blogging
Tags
Categories
Viewing of comments
Saving drafts
Previewing Posts

I was pretty amazed at how speedily the app picks up the list of categories that you already have in your Wordpress blog. For anyone that is on the move a lot, and doesn't always want to carry around a laptop, this app will save your life! Whether you want to make a small edit or a full featured post, it's simple and easy to do with wpToGo.

I highly recommend this application for any Wordpress user out there.

Now the negatives:

Photo uploading seems a little shaky, and has stopped working of late for some users. There has been an update issues which may fix the problem though, I haven't had a chance to check yet.

I've had a few issues with saving drafts too, it doesn't always seem to work, but again, the new fix may have solved this.

Features I'd like to see:

List of installed widgets
Ability to edit theme php files

...And there you have it! If any rooted users would like to provide some screenshots, that would be great. Send them through and I'll add them to the post.

Sorry guys dot know why some of the images aren't showing. I have tried to change the format and re size them, but a couple are just being stubborn. The few that would show are posted now.

Thanks Mike, I don't see any pictures showing up though! If you want to PM them to me I'll figure out the problem and get them added in.

They are still not showing :-/ Its so weird too, because I have used the same method to get screen shots for all of my other review with no issues.
