I am just a little bit obsessed with apps and get asked almost daily by friends and family what I recommend. It's about time I start sharing.
So here we go! I am at this very moment blogging... wait for it... from an app! What better way to begin a blog about apps than to talk about Apps for Blogging??
The one I've decided to use for this particular post is called BlogPress
by CL T Studio.
(click the photo to see the app in iTunes)
The UI reminds me of writing an email. I wish it were prettier, honestly, but that's probably because I'm an artist and designer. Either way, it's very intuitive to use and has not given me any signs of crashing or instability. You can edit HTML, add photos from your camera or library, add videos from your YouTube account. It supports most mainstream blogs, such as Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress, TypePad, LiveJournal and more. You can also create labels/tags, add links to photos, resize your photos, and save drafts both locally and online. Overall pretty full in capability.
You can get BlogPress for $2.99 now, $4.99 regularly and it runs on both iPad and iPhone/iPod.
Another blogging app I was checking out is called Blogsy.
This one also runs at $2.99. The UI is much prettier, and a lot of functions are drag-and-drop, which takes advantage of the touch interface of the iPad. It also syncs up with your YouTube, Flickr, and Picassa. Blogsy only works with WordPress and Blogger, however, and does not use your native camera roll. Works only with iPad using iOS 4.3 and later. I'm waiting anxiously to see how they improve this app in future versions.
Besides, the icon says "live long and prosper"...
Anyway, that's all I have for today!
Bon Appetit!
