WordPress 4.0 for iOS

Here comes WordPress 4.0 for iOS.

What’s New in Version 4.0

• Reimagined your stats view, which is now faster and more stable. Since we’re continuing to work on making this the best possible experience, the old web view is still available.
• Worked on an update in the Reader that allows videos to render properly.
• Fixed a bug in the Reader that addresses a blue dot display issue.
• Made improvements to prevent a crash when editing your longer posts.
• Various other fixes.

If you enjoy using WordPress, please take a moment to write a review — your input is invaluable to us.

WordPress-4.0-for-iOS

Notice the polite request for App Review at the end of the release note?

One thing I did notice about WordPress for iOS is the lack of solicitation for App Store review. John Gruber has some great points.
