Many of you have mentioned and commented that you would like to see, well, “Comments and Mentions” in iPhone and Android apps. In this release we’ve added brand new Inbox which allows you to follow your tracked comments and see who has mentioned you. Read about the new Inbox and other enhancements below!
Here’s whats new in the iPhone app:
- New Inbox. One place to check on new messages, comments, and mentions – when people mention your username in a post.
- Links in notes and photo posts are now clickable
- Various bug fixes
Here’s whats new in the Android app: (Scan the barcode with your phone to download the app)
- Exciting new Android-style icon! Enjoy!
- New Inbox. One place to check on new messages, comments, and mentions – when people mention your username in a post.
- Improved location handling. The app should now find your location much better even when conditions aren’t optimal.
- Device Settings. In the Settings menu, there is now a Device Settings section which will control things that effect the device. Currently you can change how often to check for new messages, comments, and mentions, which will help conserve battery life.

My Brightkite iPhone app icon always shows a number probably meant to show how many messages I have. Currently it shows 17, but I do not have any messages, and I cannot clear this number. Is this a bug or a user problem?

Hmm, do you have any comments or mentions that you haven't checked?

It's possible but how do I find where they are? Some of them could be with posts from weeks ago.

They are under the Inbox tab along with your messages, if you have any comments or mentions there will be a star up at the top.

That was it. Thanks. I like being able to see the unread comments, and now I know how to turn off the stars.

Hey Darnell,
I’ve never used Disqus, seems like it’s got some great features however the iphone wordpress app works similar as to what you are describing above, and it’s free!
Either way, moderating comments on the go is pretty cool!
