Create and edit blog posts either locally, post a draft or publish to the blog. Moderate comments, and even create and edit Pages. Within the posts you can do limited formatting, however link captions can be added for better SEO and add images with caption and alignment options from your phone. With this iteration, you can edit your WordPress.com hosted blog as well.

If your blog is hosted on WordPress.com, there is an added benefit to check your blog stats, however, this feature is not available to self-hosted WordPress blogs.
