8 blogging apps you need to install on your phone now
September 24, 2018
You might mainly use your computer or laptop to blog, let’s face it it’s much easier to sit down and write a post in front of a keyboard than on your phone. But when you’re on the go, it’s great to be able to click on an app and get some of that blogging admin done or check how your latest post is doing.
We’ve put together a list of our must-have blogging apps so you can stay productive even if you’re not at home. Check out our list of 8 blogging apps you need to install on your phone now…
WordPress
If you blog through WordPress then the app is an absolute must. You can write, edit and schedule posts, as well as check your stats and approve any comments.

Trello
This is one of our favourite apps and we use it in both work and personal life. You can create to-do lists, prioritise tasks, make notes, attach files and tick things off as you go. You can also log in via desktop.

Wunderlist
If you like lists (we love lists!) then you need Wunderlist in your life. You can create lists to share with family, friends or colleagues and set reminders. Perfect to set yourself reminders when you’re on the go.

If you’re using Pinterest for your blog then you need to have the app installed on your phone. This will allow you to pin your content as it goes live and use your free time wisely to find other blogs to read, content to add to your schedule and pin any ideas for later.

Google Analytics
We love to be able to check how our latest blog posts are doing when we’re out and about so the Google Analytics app is essential, especially if you’re going to be away from the computer for a while. Just be warned, you can get a bit addicted to refreshing your stats!

Hootsuite
This one obviously depends on what program you use to schedule your social media posts, but whichever one you use you need to have the app on your phone. Hootsuite allows you to schedule posts, monitor any mentions or shares of your content and make any edits to your scheduled posts if needed.

How many of these blogging apps do you have on your phone? Are there any we’ve missed that you think all bloggers need?
Thank you for this list. Some of these apps I have not heard of and I will certainly check them out. I need to get better organized with my blog so I think that 1 or 2 of these will be perfect!
Just saw your share of this post on Twitter — I’m glad I caught it. These are some great tips! I’ve never even heard of Trello or VSCO, but I love a good list and photo editor. Thanks for this list!
I like your list of apps. Even though I do zero blogging on my phone I’ve noted these. Appreciate it.
