Blogger App For iOS and Android - App Review

Sometimes you need to blog on the go, and you might not have a laptop with you, and since it's 2013, you shouldn't need one. With devices like iPad's, some of us don't even need big computers anymore.

If you're using Google's Blogger service, Blogger does have an iOS app available. And I thought the ultimate test would be to review the app by writing the review on the app!

On the Blogger app Home Screen, you have:
- Your blog and ability to switch between, if you have multiple.
- Posts,
- New Post,
- View Blog,
- and Settings.

In Posts, you can: Edit, View, Share, and Delete.

New Post: you can obviously write your post. Then add labels, pictures and location data. You can publish from the app or save it as a draft for later.

View blog, is exactly that - view your website.

And there's not much going on in Bloggers Settings: If you have multiple blogs you can switch between them. Set sort posts order by, 'Last Update Date', or 'Created Date'. And you can choose a default setting for images.

Okay, so that's what you can do, what about what can't you do on the Blogger app? A lot. For example, there's no stats data, no Page / post view data. You can't place an image where you'd like. Can't access Pages. No direct access to comments. No rich text options. No layout options. And a lot more...

To sum up, Blogger's app won't be a replacement for a computer. Unless you try using Blogger through Safari or some other web browser on a iPad or tablet.

The Blogger app is okay if all you want to do is write a quick post and add an image or write a draft to edit later when you're at your computer.

Blogger (app) is free and is available for iOS and Android devices.

Oh, and you can post links, but they'll look like this:
