It is still not valid that you could do everything with the app like on the browser
This app is good but it becomes a frustrating experience when it could not do what is available via a web browser. Your iPad alone will not do, your Mac is required to properly edit or manage your site. After setting my website on a Mac, I still could not use the app to conveniently manage images, captions, properly manage posts and edit posts. I have to have my Mac. Also WHY does a carriage return creates a double carriage return? Is this something that is different for each temple? But I doubt that because I have tried other templates and they did the same thing. Please, it has been some years now, and we would REALLY, REALLY, REALLY appreciate it if you would make your app on par with the features via a web browser. This will make your claim valid when you say we can do everything on the app.
Reply to Squarespace: thank you, but Squarespace is assuming that everyone knows an Enter key is synonymous with a Return key; and since Squarespace is promoting its mobile app to manage Squarespace websites, this assumption is problematic because a keyboard on a touchscreen behaves differently than a hardware keyboard — the shift-return (shift-enter) does not generate a “soft return”. What is obvious to Squarespace is not necessarily obvious to its users.Show lessdanchow

We appreciate your feedback. As far as returns, when you start a new line of text by pressing "enter" on your keyboard, this renders a "hard return," which is a double-spaced line break. If you'd prefer a single-spaced line break, you can use a "soft return" by pressing the Shift + Enter keys together. This will start a new line immediately under the previous one.Glitchy and fails to update properly
While I love the Squarespace web design on the desktop or laptop, I had a terrible experience with the app. No matter how many times I updated my website through my computer and double checked that it was updated on the mobile version, the app would never take my new updates. It would only reflect updated items. It would not show me the desktop preview through the app and kept crashing or giving me an error screen whenever I tried. Many times the app would suddenly refresh itself back to my home screen home page preview in the middle of me previewing a different page. Several times the app crashed in the middle of my edits and did not save my changes. I tried logging out and logging back in several times as well as re-downloading the app and I continued to have these problems. It was really disappointing, especially after seeing so many raving reviews from other app users.Show lessAceFace925

I totally understand that the iPhone and iPad apps will be limited compared to the desktop versions. However this app is so limited that it’s unable to do many things. It can’t add video to page , it can’t add LINKS to a page and moving items that are currently on the page isn’t intuitive drag and drop. I don’t have iPhone 15 or iPad Pro but this feels like it was made for iPhone 6 and iPad 2 because it’s so basic. Several years ago when I had a iPhone 8 I used the Squarespace app to do more. Now even semi recent tech can do stuff I could do in the past. I understand podcasting on the go on the mobile app is a bridge too far but excluding galleries, videos and linked pages is really disappointing. The app is stable and for it does it’s fine but it was better in the past and now it’s fundamentally limited. It’s ok but it should be fantastic. The previous “blog” app was more feature rich and that was discontinued years ago.Show lessadv2k169
