Express for WordPress

Express for WordPress Review

 It is impossible to talk about mobile marketing without mentioning a mobile phone application such as Express for WordPress app. It is an app especially made to make it easier for marketers to publish content to their WordPress sites anywhere and anytime they want.

Express is a paid iPhone app that lets anyone publish content to a WooThemes powered website. Yes, that’s right. It is an app exclusively made for WooThemes users. Although that might be a turnoff for some WordPress users, if you are using WooThemes on your blog, you might be wondering if it’s worth checking out in the iTunes Store.

The Creators of Express for WordPress

Wherever you are, as long as you have your Apple device and internet connection, you can use this app in a few clicks.

Either way, once you follow the necessary steps, you can start posting content to your website with just your iPhone.
