WpApp is a Titanium template that enable you to create an iOS app for WordPress blog. You can put as many categories as you need, blog post, share post to facebook or by email. It use native iOS interface so the user will be quickly familiar with the user interface.
There are many benefits from having a mobile app for blog site. It can increase the visitor loyalty, expanding market reader, and also to make more money by using admob.
In order to fetch blog post data, WpApp require a WpApp WordPress plugin to be installed. This plugin is included in this package.
WpApp is tested with Titanium Mobile SDK 2.1.1.GA and XCode 4.4, work well with iOS 4 and iOS 5.
Note for iOS6 and iPhone 5
This item has been updated to work with iOS6 and iPhone 5 screen size. Unfortunately AdMob module will not work for iOS6. So if you develop for iPhone 5, the Admob is disabled. You can still use AdMod module if you build for iOS5.Current version

How It Works
This app require internet connection. When the app start for the first time, it has empty database. Then it will fetch data from your blog. You can set to fetch 10 posts at once or more if you like.Then it will be stored in database for future use. The app won’t fetch again until a certain time that you can set, by default is 1800 seconds. Unless the user refresh the content by perform ‘pull to refresh’ (like twitter app). The new data will be added to database along with the previous blog post.
The first tab is ‘recent post’. It contains recent post from entire blog post.
The second tab contains category list (in dashboard ui). It can handle unlimited number of categories. Per page can contain 9 categories, so it will create more pages if you have more than 9 categories.
How to set the category? It is easy. I prepared a plain text file that represent category structure, you need to place:
- Category slug (you can see it in WordPress admin panel)
- Category title / label
- Category icon for off and for on status
When the category is tapped / clicked in the category dashboard, it will open a new window with the blog post list of that category (similar with recent post list).
In the detail blog post, there is ‘share’ button. User can share by email or post it to their facebook account.
The third tab is the WordPress pages list.
The fourth tab is the Twitter posts.
The fifth tab contains about page. As you can see in screenshot, the user can perform:
- Contact webmaster by email
- Tell a friend by email
- View terms and conditions
- View privacy policy
- Reset data. It will clean up database.
FAQs
- Does it need internet connection? Yes. It fetch blog data using internet connection. Then store it in database for future use for faster access. Â
- Does it update the content without need to update the app in Apple App Store? Yes. Because it fetch the data from your blog, it will update immediately without need to update the app in Apple App Store. Â
- Does it work with any wordpress themes? Yes. It is an iPhone app. It has its own user interface that is separated from wordpress theme. So it will work with any wordpress themes. Â
- I’m not an iOS developer and I don’t have Mac. Could you build and publish an iPhone app for me? Yes I can help you to build and publish an iPhone app for your wordpress blog. You must be a valid owner of WpApp. This would be a freelance work, so please contact me for more detail. Thank you.
