The folks over at Automattic have just released a major update for their popular WordPress application for Android devices. Aside from the usual bug fixes and performance improvements, the update also adds some new features meant to enhance overall user experience.

One of the most important new features included in this build is the ability to get help by chatting with Automattic support. This is especially useful for newcomers, but also for long-time users who encounter any issues with the application.

Then there’s the geotagging feature redesign and the opt in/opt out setting for analytics. It’s also worth mentioning that with the latest version of WordPress for Android users can swipe between posts in the reader.

According to the official changelog, the WordPress.com blog list should now auto update. Last but not least, some bug fixes have been included as well, such as the upload picture crash, janky animations, Hebrew devices displaying the app in English, SNI + shared ssl certificate fix, rare reader crash, and many others.

You can now download WordPress for Android 3.0 for free via Google Play Store. Keep in mind that the application should be fully compatible with most devices powered by Android 4.0 and up.
