Usability review of the WordPress Mobile App
This ticket is a space to document the usability of the WordPress Mobile App.
In attempting to check documentation and workflow on the WP iOS app, I ran into a number of usability issues:
-
Based on this prompt I expect to be able to create a new site in this app.
-
I am offered two options to add a site to the app.
-
When clicking on create a new site, very odd to be x-promoted to another app. (Normally as I user I would abandon at this point. I was expecting to be able to create a site. I was not able to. And now am expected to download another 3rd party app).
-
I download the JetPack app and create a basic travel blog site (bhon.travel.blog).
-
Once I close out the preview of the new site, I'm taken to JetPack's site admin menu. At this point, I see no reason to return to WP app.
-
I return to the WP app and the screen I viewed previously about adding a site.
-
Upon clicking on a self-hosted site, which is what I believed I just created, and adding my site URL bhon.travel.blog, I received the following error messages. The two below are from two different attempts to access my site created on JetPack app via the WP app.
-
At this point, there appears to be no way back to the happy path. If left to my own devices I would have abandoned my attempt to use the WP app, either when it suggested I download a 3rd party app or once I was not able to add my site in order to manage it with the app.
