Connecting a mobile app directly to the database is possible, but ill-advised. WordPress provides great tools for integrating your application with your site using the XML-RPC interface. WordPress has open-source Android and iOS applications, so there’s some great source code there to get you started.

- http://ios.wordpress.org/development/
- http://android.wordpress.org/development/
In addition, the Jetpack plugin provides a JSON API if you’d prefer to use that.
