=== Refresh the Android App UI ===
−
−
The [http://android.wordpress.org WordPress for Android] app is over a year old now and a lot has changed in mobile user interfaces since. The app could use a refresh to get a user blogging faster, including a 'Dashboard' type home screen to be able to create a new post in just one click. This refresh should remove the current 'tabs' interface and also take advantage of Post Formats for posting pictures, videos, etc. A good example of apps that currently use a dashboard type experience are Facebook and Twitter for Android.
−
−
A general idea of where the app should be going can be found [http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/twitter-for-android-closer-look-at.html on the android developers blog].

=== Refresh the BlackBerry App UI ===
−
−
The WordPress for BlackBerry app is over two years old now and a lot has changed in BlackBerry user interfaces since. This refresh should give us a completely new UI for latest devices (devices running OS5.0 or higher) including a new Touch release for Touchscreen devices. The app could use a refresh to get a user blogging faster, including a 'Dashboard' type home screen to be able to create a new post in just one click taking advantage of Post Formats for posting pictures, videos, etc.

* Plugins can have reversions too – Usually plugins are relatively small, but they doesn't mean they wouldn't benefit from unit tests to make sure they don't mess things up.

=== Port WordPress for webOS to Firefox OS, Tizen, or Ubuntu Mobile ===
+
WordPress for webOS is a great app built with web technology. Several new web-centric mobile platforms are springing up and it would be great for WordPress to have a presence on each. Let's take the webOS app and convert it to run on one or more of these new platforms.
+
+
=== Make WordPress for iOS a share target for other mobile apps ===
+
Did you know its possible to share information directly in-between iOS apps? We'd love for other iOS apps to be able to share directly to WordPress for iOS. Modify the app with the necessary changes to support sharing text and images from other apps and document an API for other developers to use.
+
+
=== Create a native WordPress Sharing library + button UI for mobile apps ===
+
Many apps support sharing to Facebook and Twitter, so why not WordPress! Pick your favorite mobile platform and create a drop-in native library that other app developers can use to add a Share to WordPress feature to their own apps. As a bonus, support sharing to multiple blogs!
+
+
=== Create simple native WordPress app for BlackBerry 10. ===
+
BlackBerry has a brand new OS out but its not complete until there is a native WordPress for BlackBerry app in its market! Create a simple, native, WordPress app for the new BlackBerry OS. Possible ideas include short form blogging and photo sharing.
+
+
=== Create a new image alignment and options screen for the mobile aps ===
+
The WordPress mobile apps all support adding images to posts but they are lacking good options for aligning and sizing images. Pick your favorite mobile platform and improve the image presentation, alignment, and sizing options in the post and pages editors.
+
+
=== A new post/page interface for WordPress for iOS ===
+
The views for posts and pages in the WordPress for iOS app is okay, but it could be better! Create a way to display a lists of posts with most of their content, and a way to expand to view it all. Tapping an item allows you to edit it. The goal is to have something awesome to replace the posts/pages lists in the app!
+
+
=== Photo instant upload to Google+ / FaceBook / Dropbox for the WordPress mobile apps ===
+
The WordPress mobile apps all support posting images but many people like to keep copies of their images on other services as well. Pick your favorite platform, and add support for cross posting photos to Google+, Facebook and Dropbox when publishing photos to a WordPress blog.
+
+
=== Improve posts list UI in WordPress for Android ===
+
WordPress for Android is missing a few things for its post's list that could really make it better. Add in support for showing post thumbnails in the list. Also, if a list is empty, create a nice placeholder to show instead of a blank screen.
+
+
=== Quick Post for WordPress for Android ===
+
WordPress for Android has Quick Photo, and Quick Video features. These are great but why do we need two when we could have one even better Quick Post feature! Merge the functionality of Quick Photo and Quick Video and also add support for Quick Text. Your goal is to make it simple to quickly post text, images and video in as few steps as possible.
