If you're like us, you woke up this morning to an update for Version 2.0 our official WPCentral App. Developer (and podcast co-host) Jay Bennett has been hard at work these last few months incorporating all those changes and features that you've requested. In addition, new optimizations and layout changes have made the experience even better. So what's new? Let's cut to the chase...
As you can see, the BIG addition is the ability to finally comment on posts from within the app. Heck, you can reply to specific people and even delete your comment...hoorah! Plus with our new Live Tile system, the app will look even more pretty on your fancy Start screen. Not to be outdone though, Jay is already hard at work on v2.1 which will be some minor bug fixes, so expect that soon too. Then comes version 2.2 with our Wallpaper feed (previewed in the app now).
A big and personal thanks to Jay for all his hard work as well as staff writer Rich Edmonds for graphic design and Tom Kaminiski for handling the back-end details. The app is free/ad-supported/feature limited or it can be "unlocked" for $0.99 for the ad-free, full-featured version. Pick it up here in the Marketplace or scan below.

I'm in love with this app! Thank you!! :)
Gonna pop this comment right at the top to say thank you all so much, 142 comments at this point I'm overwhelmed!! It has also led me to realise that with this many comments the app starts to struggle, so expect v2.1 to include some optimisations as well as bug fixes :)
Awesome. Keep up great work.
Awesome app. :):)

Amazing!

Awesome app. At the top of my home screen.
Awesome app. Love the new updates!
Okay this is odd. If I use my Quantum's physical keyboard the inputted text is invisible but works fine via the virtual keyboard. Furthermore if I copy/paste from portrait into a landscaped field, I can type normally until it reaches the next line then it is invisible again.
Will make a note of this, thanks.
For reference, this does not happen on my quantum, it works fine on the physical keyboard.
weird I'll try a soft reboot and see if that changes anything when I get a chance
WOOT WOOT!!!
if im not on the Site on my PC.. im in the APP in my cell phone LOL ... WPCENTRAL is my second home!! lol
Haha so true! :D
Do we know if forums are the roadmap?
Yes, forums are a plan for the app. It's a big task though we do want to do it.
Awesome
GreatGreat freaking app... This should be the prime example on how a app should be done using metro
Nice work, some swish transitions to boot

Nice, really like the changes so far!
Speed improvements are a huge bonus to everything else. Beautiful job improving this app gentlemen.
there is a all bug, i can not see what i am writing on my screen for the first few seconds. excellent app. the live tile customization is the best thing and i think it is overlooked by many developers. live tile customization os a MUST!
