Wow, nicely done!
I absolutely love that I’m able to make changes and additions to my website from the palm of my hand. This is a huge step up from the previous Squarespace apps that were available and negates the need for them altogether. My one hope is that they’ll optimize it for use on iPad (my primary work device). It would be amazing to have this work on the larger screen in landscape mode!
Update: they fixed my one issue by releasing a fantastic iPad app update. Thanks a mil, Squarespace team!

10 out of 10
The best thing I done for my business was to switch from big cartel to square space. Having been with big cartel for 7 years I was really nervous about the transition, but I can honestly say it was a seamless visual upgrade from one site to the other.
In my opinion the square space platform is great for new and established businesses alike and definitely stands apart from the other online retail platforms on the market.
Square space is perfection personified, congratulations on a job well done.

This is brilliant!
So loving this app!!! I’m able to edit most parts of my websites on the go, which is a fantastic time saver. For design and layout stuff I prefer doing it on the big screen, but adding text is quick and easy, adding pages is quick and easy, love it!
Portfolio was such a good app
After receiving an email of the discontinuation of the portfolio app, i decides to further delve into this app, and all i can say is, i am not satisfied, it logs me out after 2 clicks of anything in the menus, the gallery section is basically a chore to navigate to, is very slow and unresponsive at best.. plus the fact you can't download the content for viewing later on.. Portfolio was so much better for presentation... now i will have to manually load my webpage or just show clients my instagram.. what happened to you squarespace? everything was great until now..

Does not Work with iPad Pro 3rd Gen.
So, I brought this New iPad Pro 3rd Gen to replace my old MacBook Pro. I found I don;t really need a laptop or even MacBook. This ipad does everything I need it to do except being able to edit my website’s footers which have my business hours on it. That being said. I have contacted apple and it is not on there end. I am not even able to edit my footers in Safari much less this joke of a website manager. I have also tried contacting Squarespace Support and all I get is an email back days later explaining that they built the app for iPhones not iPads. Okay not sure who made that call but alrighty then. May question is why can’t I even edit the footers though Safari at the vary least?? It wouldn’t even work when I click “Request Desktop Site”. It will not Scroll to the bottom of a page in Safari in the Squarespace website account and building pages... This is a real problem for me as I no longer have my old computer and now I must borrow a computer to be a edit my website. I will change the rating and delete this review once this is addressed and fixed.

Quite useful!
This app is super useful for running my blog - I often find myself opening my laptop to make small scheduling changes for posts, and edit typos out. This makes it easier to do small things like that on the go. However, it does take quite a few clicks to get to scheduling posts and stuff like that - if there was a way to make that process a little easier, and maybe customize what appears on the homepage (shortcuts for frequently accessed features?) that would be extremely helpful. Overall, really awesome app though!

No iPad version?
Squarespace: I love your platform. I’ve been using it for years. The only limitation has been that sometimes I’ll need to wait till I’m back at my desktop before implementing a change that was discussed during a meeting.
I’m thrilled that there is now an iOS version. But not optimized for iPad? Really? How likely is it that I will be making changes to my brand story via my phone? Many of us use iPad’s with external keyboards as much as our desktop/laptops if not as our primary work tool #iPadOnly. So even though we can open it on our iPads, it is positioned in portrait mode, while our keyboards are optimized for landscape mode. This is a problem for me, and I’m sure I’m not unique.
What UX research did you do to that lead you to optimize for iPhone?
Seems like I’ll still be waiting till I’m back at my desktop before implementing changes.

Finally! I Can Edit My Website With My iPhone
I travel full-time, and the only reason that I’ve kept my Mac is that I couldn’t edit my Squarespace website on iOS. My Mac died last week, and I found this app while doing a hail-Mary search of the App Store in hopes of finding a way to move exclusively to iOS. And then I found THIS.
I expected a poor implementation that involved pick lists and being forced to drill down for features, but instead, the interface mostly works like the website. I drag blocks onto a blank page, just as with the website. Accessing photos is a bit more complicated, but that’s iOS’s fault, not Squarespace’s.
I don’t see an option to add different types of pages, such as a blog, and I hope that this functionality is coming soon. I suppose as a kludge I can duplicate my existing blog page to add another blog to my site, but that doesn’t help someone with an existing site who deleted a template’s blog page and wants to add it back.
Your app has inspired me to write my first review. Thank you, and I look forward to an iPad app.

Frustrating that you can’t edit or add products
Although you can now edit pages in the app, you can’t edit product pages or edit or add new products to your store, which was the one thing I really wanted to be able to do on the go.
The Squarespace Commerce app allows you to edit existing products, but it would be great to be able to add new products using your phone, and honestly I’d prefer to have one app for all these things rather than three (Squarespace, Squarespace Commerce and Squarespace Analytics) which is not ideal if you don’t have a phone with a large memory. I like Squarespace, but given the cost of the subscription I think this is an area where there is room for improvement.

Great UI for mobile.... but not iPad Compatible?!?!
Overall I’m impressed with the app. They did a great job implementing the UI they have on desktop for mobile. As per usual with Squarespace, design is elegant and intuitive to use.
I can’t help but dock a couple stars though for not being iPad compatible right out the gate. Seeing as how Squarespace is used by so many creative professionals, I would think an iPad version would be a must from the get go. Even though I am happy to have it on my phone, I would most definitely rather make changes to my site on my iPad than iPhone. It sort of feels like another “almost” for the company.
