iPhone App for Blogger

Blogger has an app for iPhone and it's better than the corresponding Android app, which has improved a lot in the past months. Both apps let you edit your existing posts and create new posts, add images to your posts, include labels and geolocate your posts.

They're pretty basic, but the iPhone app has a better interface, it's easier to use and pays attention to detail. For example, the iPhone app includes the URL of the blog next to the name when you switch to a different blog, so that it's easier to identify a blog. The Android app only shows the names. To publish a post in the iPhone app, you need to tap the "Publish" button, which is always displayed at the top of the screen. In the Android app you need to scroll to the bottom of the post to find the "publish" button.



"With the Blogger app, you can write a new blog post and publish it immediately or save it as a draft right from your iOS device. You can also open a blog post you've been working on from your computer and continue editing it while you're on-the-go. Your blog posts are automatically synced across devices, so you’ll always have access to the latest version," informs Google.

  3. I don't wish to seem ungrateful about a free app, but after spending all that time making sure it can synchronise posts between "all" your iOS devices, they forgot to make it an iPad app (hint: it has a bigger screen)...

  5. Still suffers from Google's ludicrous idea that your IP address determines your language. After installing on my English-language iPhone and signing in with my English-language Google account, the T&C page appears in French (I'm in France right now). The Settings page gives a 404.

    1. I found the problem. Blogger uploads pictures to your picasa account. When your picasa account storage is full it wont let you upload anymore pictures. Clear out your picasa account or buy more storage and you will be fine.

    2. I'm glad I found this! I'm having the same problem. If I delete from Picasa they'll be removed from the blog though won't they? Also, I was able to post pics from my computer today so I'm not sure that's my problem
