3/5Oops you blocked my clock!
Search, title and settings cover top of page obscuring signal, time and charge status on iPhone.

3/5It's ok...
First, the app doesn't feel like... An app! It is more like a web page or even worse. Second, I think twitter integration is needed. I just hate how the developers just ignore the new features in iOS5. Please make these basic improvements ASAP. I will update my review when the app is improved.

1/5You have to sign in every time!
It’s so painful, every time I use this app you have to sign in again and again and again to write any comments. Not worth the effort. I deleted it.

4/5Excellent Content - Needs Landscape Mode
Very nice blog app, the interface is clear and the content is good as well. But - it needs to work in landscape mode for those of us that use a keyboard case on our iPads. Otherwise it would get five stars.
