[wp-edu] WordPress for iOS app-- does it work with multisite?

[Joseph Ugoretz]

I don't have very many users working with the iOS app, but it definitely does work with our multisite install.  Adding the first blog works (and the title is correct) and adding additional blogs is also fine.  We're on 3.6, if that matters. (latest version of the app).

The only hint I can give in what is basically a "works for me" response (don't you hate those?), is that we are on a subdirectory, not a subdomain, multisite install.  (largish install with +3000 users and sites).

I tried to post a question to the WordPress for iOS forums first, but get an error any time I try to post, so I am hoping some of you have experience with this app, particularly since wp-edu users are more likely to have similarly large multisite installs.
